About this project
This site is the public-facing surface of a structured corpus on UAP / anomalous-phenomena topics. It contains a non-fiction monograph, an interactive analytical surface for the underlying evidence base, four deep-dive case studies, and a number of supporting indexes.
The corpus has been under construction for several years. The site is its current state in mid-2026.
What you can do here
The three registers
Everything on this site lives in one of three registers, and every page declares which one it belongs to in the badge at the top of the page.
- ● THE RECORD — the non-fiction corpus. The monograph, the observatory, the deep dives, the atlas, the historical cases. Every claim in this register traces to a public source.
- ◇ THE WINDOW — the fiction. Maintenance Window (the novel), the cosmology codex, the artifacts, the maintenance ledger. This register takes a particular cosmology seriously on its own terms and writes from inside it.
- ▣ THE WORKSHOP — the production layer. Methodology, the editorial model team, the backlog, research notes.
A glyph on a link means the link crosses into another register. Links without a glyph stay where you are. In the constellation graph, fiction-layer nodes render dashed; the record renders solid. The two layers cite each other on purpose — the convention exists so you always know which one you are reading.
What this project is
A single-author attempt to gather the public-record evidence on UAP topics into a structured form that supports analysis rather than narrative. Structured data wherever possible. Large language models in limited aggregation and review roles, with the procedure documented in the monograph's appendix. The institutional record — the eight decades of government UAP programs from Project Sign to AARO — is treated as a coherent subject in its own right, separately from the question of what UAP are.
The monograph's final chapter states what the public-record evidence permits a careful reader to conclude. That is the project's position; everything else is the underlying data and the procedure that produced it.
The project indexes institutions and programs from outside them. It is independent of the History Channel program The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch, which is one of several data sources the Skinwalker deep dive aggregates.
The corpus is presently online. The procedures used to build it are documented. Every quantitative claim has a footnote that traces back to its underlying entry. A reader who finds an error is invited to submit it via the feedback channel at /observatory.
Who is behind this
The project is a personal one and is not commercial. The author writes anonymously. The corpus's structured-data work has been ongoing since 2024.
The corpus's analytical procedures are assisted by three large language models in clearly delimited editorial roles — a stylist (voice), a workhorse (correctness), and an editor (cutting). The role of the models is described in detail in the monograph's methodology appendix. The models do not produce factual claims about UAP. They aggregate, rank, and audit material the author has collected. Every model-touched product is checkable against its source.
Where to start
If you have an hour: read the monograph. The introduction maps the territory. The six chapters report what the corpus has found.
If you have ten minutes: open the observatory. The theory leaderboard at the top is the corpus's single most concentrated finding.
If you came for a specific case: try the deep dives. Skinwalker, Nimitz, Rendlesham, and Cash-Landrum are treated in depth. If your case isn't there yet, the broader constellation indexes 60+ historical cases, and the original codex still preserves the field's narrative entry points.
How to contribute
The corpus benefits from corrections. If you have direct knowledge of a case the corpus has misrepresented, a source the corpus has missed, or a new public-record document that should be indexed, the /observatory feedback box is where to surface it. Corrections that survive editorial review are folded into the next revision.
