AEC / DOE / NRC / NARA search — Ramey UFO program 1962–73
Atomic Energy Commission · 1962–1973
Alleged Top Secret — no records found
Request
Documents of a top-secret AEC program under commissioner James T. Ramey investigating landed UFOs.
Outcome
No responsive records from NRC, DOE or NARA. Only a 1952 newspaper clip on AEC interest in sightings. Hume says someone with authority would do better than a private FOIA.
Family oral history, empty archives. Hume keeps it on the disclosure demand list.
Names on this file
RG Hume
Independent FOIA researcher
UK researcher who files FOI/FOIA against MOD, DSTL, AARO, NNSA, DOE, FBI, CIA-adjacent holdings, EPA, CBP and police. Publishes as @rgh_ufos. Has said his name is on requests, has appeared in BBC and Mail Online, and was cited by Jesse Michels for the NNSA Starfish Prime response.
James T. Ramey
AEC Commissioner, 1962–1973
Hume interviewed the commissioner's grandson. The family account: Ramey sat on a top-secret AEC program investigating landed UFOs so the USSR would not gain a nuclear advantage. The team found nothing credible and, per the grandson, also fanned UFO rumours as cover for prohibited weapons work.
Dr. James Ramey II
Grandson of James T. Ramey
Hume's source on the AEC UFO program. Confirmed the family story including the cover/disinformation function around Area 51-era weapons and the claim that nothing extraterrestrial was found.
