FBI PDF — Case File 62-HQ-83894 (2026)

Summary

This is Section 7 of the FBI's main UFO case file (62-HQ-83894), covering reported flying disc and unidentified object incidents from June 1947 through July 1968. It contains eyewitness testimonies, investigative records, public reports, and photographic evidence gathered over more than two decades. This version includes newly declassified pages not previously available on the FBI's public vault, with fewer redactions than the version most researchers have seen.

Key Findings

• 1The file spans over 21 years of FBI UFO investigations, from the earliest 'flying disc' reports in June 1947 through July 1968.
• 2Photographic evidence is referenced specifically from Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a highly sensitive nuclear facility, suggesting the government tracked UFO activity near strategic sites.
• 3The file includes technical proposals related to potential propulsion systems, meaning someone — whether a researcher or government official — submitted serious engineering-level ideas about how these objects might fly.
• 4This release contains newly declassified pages not included in the version already posted on the FBI Vault, and features only minor redactions compared to the heavily censored public version.
• 5Beyond incident reports, the file also includes researcher accounts, convention programs, and media coverage, showing the FBI monitored civilian UFO research communities during this period.
