For the curious among us
This is a growing field guide to UFO encounters and the culture around them. We collect notable reports, explain their context, and point you to the material you can read for yourself.
The record and the story
Encounter files distinguish witness reports, documentary evidence, and unresolved questions. Lore articles explore the histories and claims that gather around those events. A report being genuine does not mean its interpretation is correct.
Sources before certainty
We favor original documents, official archives, and firsthand statements. Official sources can still have limitations; their value is that readers can inspect what they actually say. Every case and field note links to its sources.
Images set the scene
The UFO artwork is AI-generated. Landscape photographs are illustrative and do not depict the reported events. They are atmosphere, not evidence.
An archive that can grow
Our founding collection includes three encounters and three field notes. The aim is to build carefully: useful context, traceable sources, and space to revise a conclusion when the evidence changes.
