What this is.

Social Media for Aliens is the editorial and reference layer for the declassified UAP record. Every released file is given a permanent, citable home with structured metadata, plain-English context, sources, and a place to discuss it.

The Pentagon began rolling out PURSUE, the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, on May 8, 2026, with more tranches expected on a regular schedule. The official portal makes the raw record public. This site organizes, contextualizes, and surfaces what is worth attention, without sensationalizing or dismissing.

We come to this with open curiosity and a careful eye. Each case is summarized against its own evidence, provenance, sensor depth, documentation chain, alternative explanations, so a record can be both well-documented and ordinary at the same time. Most are. A few are genuine open questions. Both are wondrous in their own way.

How we differ from other UAP publications

The cultural default for UAP coverage is either credulous excitement or dismissive snark. This publication declines both. The handful of editorial commitments below are what make the archive a useful long-term resource rather than another voice in the noise.

• Citation centered on the originating agency. When a journalist or researcher cites a record from this site, the citation lists the U.S. Central Command, NASA, FBI, or other originating body as the author, links to the primary government document, and lists this archive only as the access point.
• Prevailing explanation surfaced explicitly. When a case has a well-supported scientific or official explanation (Apollo 12 ice particles around the orbiter, GoFast parallax artifact, Roswell Project Mogul), the explanation gets its own clearly labeled block. We do not bury the boring answer under suspense.
• Transcribed margin notes per file. Redactions, classification stamps, routing slips, and handwritten annotations are listed as their own paratext on each record. The paratext is often the most human part of a declassified document and no other UAP archive surfaces it this way.
• Researcher-grade open data. The full corpus is downloadable as JSON and CSV. Per-source-command RSS feeds, an iCal "On this day" calendar, and an oEmbed endpoint for embedding records in Substack, Ghost, and WordPress are all live. No API key required.
• Institutional transparency. A public standards page documents how files are selected and graded. A public errata page logs every correction with date and record. A public roadmap and changelog show what has been done and what is planned. None of these are decorative.
• Welcoming, not threatening. UAP discourse routinely defaults to fear, urgency, or paranoia. This archive declines all three. The unknown is treated as a wonder, not a threat.

One commitment we want to be plain about: if something here turns out to be real, our default is welcome, not alarm. The unknown is an invitation to wonder, not a thing to be afraid of. There is a long human tradition of treating visitors as potential relations rather than threats, and this publication sits comfortably in that tradition.

What you can expect

• Free access to every file. No paywall. No signup wall.
• Structured summaries grounded in the official record, with full provenance back to the originating agency.
• A digest published only when the record meaningfully moves.
• A starting point for newcomers that does not require picking a tribe or holding a strong prior.
• A tone of warmth and wonder, not alarm. The question is exciting, not frightening.

Editorial principles

• We do not claim certainty either way. The question is open and we are in no hurry to close it.
• We do not endorse specific whistleblowers, commentators, or disclosure activists. The documents speak for themselves.
• We do not publish content claiming first-person contact, possession, channeling, or mission-from-beyond. Those experiences are real to those who have them and deserve their own carefully tended communities; this publication is not one of them.
• Where editorial commentary appears, it is visually distinct from the source material and labeled as such.

How we compare to existing UAP archives

The honest version, scannable. Each existing resource has its own strengths; this archive is the editorial-and-tooling layer the others don't aim to be.

We are not the place to download the original PDF (PURSUE and Black Vault are). We are not the place to file your own sighting (Enigma Labs is). We are the place to read the record honestly with structured metadata, primary-source links, and tooling researchers actually use.

Sources and methodology

Files are sourced from PURSUE (war.gov/UFO), the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, FBI and State Department FOIA releases, NASA archives, and adjacent declassification programs. Each record links back to its primary source. Where a case has a prevailing official or scientific explanation, the explanation is presented with the same weight as the original observation.

Full editorial standards, including inclusion criteria, status labeling rules, and what we will and will not publish, live on the standards page. Corrections and updates are logged publicly on the errata page.

Masthead

The archive is published anonymously by a single editor with a background in quantitative research and evidence grading. Anonymity is a deliberate choice: the documents are the source of authority, not the editor.

Funding: self-funded. No advertisers. No sponsorships. No government funding. No affiliations with UAP research organizations, podcasters, or media properties.
