Central Intelligence Agency UAP records
Central Intelligence Agency UFO records are accessible via the CREST (CIA Records Search Tool) reading room and downstream mirrors. The corpus here is selective: the 1953 Robertson Panel OSI advisory group report, cable traffic from Shakhty (1955) and other foreign sightings, photo-analysis tradecraft documents from the 1960s, comments-on-letters memos, and the Danish Defense observation cable (1954).
CIA UAP material is mostly intelligence-tradecraft adjacent — photo analysis methodology, foreign-source reporting, advisory-panel proceedings — rather than direct US-territory sightings. The Robertson Panel sits as the CIA's foundational policy statement on the subject.
