Copies of the Case Files of the 4602D Air Intelligence Service Squadron on Sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)

The series title as recorded in the National Archives catalogue, Record Group 341 (Records of Headquarters U.S. Air Force (Air Staff)), 1954-1956, 6 linear feet 7 inches. ADDED 3 SEPTEMBER 2026 BY COPYING IT OUT OF THIS FILE'S OWN EVIDENCE STRING, where it had sat since 21 August while the document page showed the reader "NAID 23857158" and nothing else. Nothing was fetched: catalog.archives.gov is disallowed by robots.txt, and no page of this series has been opened here. OPERATOR-CONFIRMED 2026-08-19: catalog.archives.gov/id/23857158 is a SERIES of files, not an item. A connection citing it cites a body of records, not a document. Same treatment as the Ford Library folder.

What this document is used for, page by page

Every claim on this map that rests on this document, and every claim tested against it and deliberately not used — in the order you would meet them reading the file itself. Where the check was written down, our wording is followed by the document’s own sentence, so you can hold the two side by side. None of them names a page yet.

caveat: scopedour wording was corrected
What this page does not carry. The NARA series record proves the 4602d held UFO case files in RG 341 for 1954-1956 and places the squadron in the Air Force UFO chain of custody. AFR 200-2 has never been read by this project; it was asserted from a citation line. Removed rather than left reading as sourced. It can return the day someone opens the regulation. Note also that this source is a NARA SERIES, and whether a series counts as a document is still an open question here. Operator decision, 2026-08-21.reviewed 2026-08-21 · decided by the operator
