Who has declassified UFOs: the map of official archives already open

The United States archive we already host on Nodriza (war.gov) is not the only one. For years, several governments have been opening their official UFO files. This is the map of who has declassified what — and where the next steps point. (Nodriza analysis.)

France is the most transparent in the world. Its GEIPAN unit, inside the space agency CNES, runs the oldest government phenomenon-study program still active (created in 1977). In 2007 France became the first nation to put more than 100,000 pages and nearly 6,000 cases online, in a public, searchable database; each case is graded A to D by how much could be explained, and around 4% remain "unidentified."

The United States has it spread across several agencies. The CIA released its collection on the subject through the CREST system (more than 12 million pages in its Electronic Reading Room). The FBI keeps its online "Vault," where the most-viewed document is the 1950 Hottel memo about allegedly recovered "saucers." And the Pentagon's AARO office published its 2024 Historical Record Report, a review of all official government efforts since 1945. (Source: CIA.gov, Live Science.)

Brazil opened its files in five batches between 2008 and 2016: about 4,500 documents covering 1952 to 2016, including the famous "Operação Prato" (1977–78), the Air Force investigation of the "chupa-chupa" wave over the Amazonian island of Colares. (Source: Disclosure Archives.)

The United Kingdom declassified roughly 52,000 pages: between 2008 and 2013, the Ministry of Defence transferred more than 200 files to the National Archives, with sightings ranging from the 1950s to 2009. (Source: Disclosure Archives.)

Chile is a case apart: its CEFAA is the world's only unit dedicated to anomalous aerial phenomena within a civil aviation authority, and the Chilean Navy even released footage that remained unexplained. (Source: New Space Economy.)

And there's more on the list: Uruguay (CRIDOVNI), Argentina, Peru (DIFAA), Canada, and others have opened files over the years. The phenomenon pushed governments around the world to put their papers on the table. (Source: New Space Economy.)

Why we're telling you this on Nodriza. We already host and preserve the official US archive. These other archives —starting with France's GEIPAN jewel— are the next fronts we'll add to the Declassified section, always citing the official source. Because here nothing is invented: the original document is the authority. (Nodriza analysis.)
