By type
Photographs (14): Mostly mid-century aerial reconnaissance and astronaut-era frames. Apollo 12 contributes three. The remainder are FBI-archived stills from 1947–1956 and a small set of military spectrometer calibration plates.
Videos (28): Approximately 41 minutes total. Range from sub-30-second sensor clips (FLIR, ATFLIR) to multi-minute aerial reconnaissance reels. Earliest dates from 2014; the bulk from 2020–2026.
Documents (120): Memoranda, transcripts, cables, after-action reports. The largest single source is the FBI's 62-HQ-83894 case file (18 documents, 312 pages).

By era
1947–1968: roughly half of all files. Roswell, Project Sign, Project Blue Book, Hottel, FBI case files, Cold War cables. This is the classical UFO archive made more accessible.
1969–2003: sparse. Apollo material from 1969–1972, then a long gap reflecting the period after Blue Book's closure when no formal program existed.
2004–2026: the modern AARO investigation period. Tic Tac (2004), Roosevelt CSG encounters (2014–2015), Eglin AFB observations (2019), recent theater memos from Iraq (2022) and Syria (2024).
How to read across the corpus
The temptation is to skim for "smoking guns." There are none. The corpus is most useful when read for its base-rate texture: how often was a sighting reported, how often was it explained, how often did it remain unresolved — and whether unresolved cases share any signatures across decades.
The honest answer, after a week of cross-reading, is that they mostly do not. The unresolved set looks like a residual; the explained set looks like ordinary aerospace history.
