Pentagon Archive Bid and UAP Council Briefing on Non-Human Intelligence Plans

The US Department of Defense has moved to obtain access to the largest private collection of historical unidentified anomalous phenomena records in North America. Its All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) intends to acquire a commercial subscription to the National UFO Historical Records Center, according to reporting by Mystery Planet. The stated focus is documents dating from before 1990 that do not appear in the office's own databases.

According to GreWi — Grenzwissenschaft aktuell, the scientists of the UAP Science Advisory Council (UAPSAC) were informed at that first personnel meeting of concrete US government plans for the eventuality that non-human intelligence is confirmed. The disclosure rests on the account of Dr Jennice Vilhauer, a psychologist and council member, who reported the meeting on her Substack page. UAPSAC was convened in June and is presided over by the astrophysicist Avi Loeb. The council met US government and intelligence officials at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence on 31 August 2026.

The two strands are distinct in kind. The archive plan is attributed in the Mystery Planet report to AARO's intention to scrutinise material predating 1990 that is absent from its own holdings; the report describes the office as planning the purchase rather than having completed it. The council item concerns the briefing of scientists rather than the release of findings, and is presented as having taken place at a first personnel meeting.

On the evidence supplied, the existence of a formal preparedness plan for confirmed non-human intelligence remains the testimony of one council member rather than a government announcement. The excerpts reviewed contain no timetable for the archive acquisition and no date for a further council meeting. The record at this stage therefore rests on the account Dr Vilhauer published and on the archive plan as reported, with the AARO and UAPSAC strands kept separate.
