Changelog
What’s changed in the register — new data, new assessments, and site updates.
Added the 16 new records from PURSUE Release 4 (July 10, 2026): the 2019–2020 Range Fouler debriefs, the STS-80 shuttle images (1996), the 1948 Project Sign progress report, the 1949 Los Alamos aerial-phenomena conference, and further historical Army, CIA, and Department of War documents, plus four new Unresolved UAP Report videos.
New records are logged from the release with their source identifier and file hash, and marked score-pending until each is verified against its primary document — no score is assigned before that review.
Every case page now carries a distinct title and description. Where several records shared a name (for example the Arabian Gulf 2020 mission reports), each is now distinguished by its official source identifier, so no two pages compete on identical metadata.
Descriptions now state each case’s evidence and anomaly scores directly, making every page’s summary specific to that record.
Mission-report pages now surface the released video footage that accompanies them, each with its official frame-by-frame description. The pairing is drawn from the source record, never assigned by hand.
Tightened how a clip is matched to a report: it is linked only when it shares the report’s source document and its description names that report, so inconsistent numbering can never produce a false pairing.
Normalized agency labels in the catalog — merged ‘DOW’ into ‘Department of War’ and a stray ‘State’ into ‘Department of State’.
Added the Atlas: a single chart plotting every scored case by evidence strength (across) against anomaly level (up), split into four quadrants — signal, documented, sensational, and noise. Every point is placed by the methodology, never by hand.
The shape is the argument. Almost everything sits on the right, because a case needs real documentation before it can be scored at all; and the better-documented it is, the less anomalous it tends to look, so the mass settles into the lower-right. The sensational quadrant — high anomaly, weak evidence — is empty: thin claims stay pending rather than plotted.
Larger points are the cases substantial enough to open; click one to read it. Cases sharing an identical score are fanned apart so each stays visible and clickable, and the chart works without JavaScript.
Added a live Atlas preview on the homepage that links into the full chart.
Split the disclosure threads into their own pages (PURSUE, AARO reporting, congressional oversight, agency archives), each listing the cases that belong to it.
Began the verification pass: checking cases line-by-line against their primary documents and adjusting scores to match the source. First verified — the Colorado Springs FD-1057 interview, the Apollo 17 air-to-ground transcript, and the Northeast US orb FD-302.
Verification continued (18 cases now checked against their primary documents). Read in full: the Apollo 11 crew debriefing, the Gemini 7 PAO loop transcript, the complete 1953 Robertson Panel record, the 1962–63 Mercury astronaut science debriefings, and the Pantex incident imagery. As before, the full sources are more conservative than the one-line summaries — the Robertson Panel and the Mercury science file are thorough enough to rate Officially Documented, while the astronaut ‘luminous particle’ and Gemini ‘bogey’ cases resolve largely to spacecraft debris and known phenomena.
Fixed 81 ‘View the primary source’ links that pointed to internal asset IDs instead of real URLs (they opened blank pages). They now link directly to the corresponding DVIDS video pages on dvidshub.net.
Added information and legal pages: independence, disclaimer & corrections, privacy, terms, FAQ, glossary, sources & data, accessibility, and this changelog.
Redesigned the footer into grouped sections linking every page, and added a custom 404 page.
Open Graph, Twitter, and structured data (JSON-LD) added across all pages; a branded social image wired in.
Accessibility pass toward WCAG 2.1 AA: mobile navigation, skip links, focus indicators, contrast fixes, and labeled score gauges.
Rated the Department of War document set (mission reports, range-fouler debriefs, historical files). Register reached 114 scored cases and 80 full assessments.
Rated the FBI, CIA, NASA, and State Department document records against the methodology.
Merged the complete public release into the register — every released record catalogued, with real titles, dates, locations, and descriptions.
First build of the register: the two-axis methodology, the complete-catalog ledger, and the initial set of assessed cases.
