Gerald Ford Presidential Library

The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library, founded in 1981 in Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA, is a government institution operated by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). It preserves records from Gerald Ford's congressional career (1948–1973) and presidency (1974–1977). In UAP/UFO context, it holds key documents like Ford's 1966 press releases demanding congressional probes into Michigan UFO sightings, rejecting the Air Force's 'swamp gas' explanation by J. Allen Hynek, which spurred the Condon Committee. NARA lists UFO-related files including White House subject files on outer space. The library hosts UFO events, such as Garrett Graff's 2024 talk on government UAP investigations. It remains active, digitizing records for public access.
