Editorial policy
Evidence first, sources verified, claims labeled.
We investigate controversial military aerospace and UAP disclosure records by prioritizing primary documentation, separating reported claims from empirical sensor data, and eliminating unverified speculation.
Primary evidence hierarchy
Every article, timeline entry, and incident record on UFO Disclosure Files is classified under an explicit evidence tier:
- Official Record: Declassified government documents, unredacted military FLIR/EO videos from DVIDS or War.gov, and official agency reports.
- Reported Claim: Sworn congressional testimony, authorized whistleblower disclosures, and accredited mainstream media interviews.
- Editorial Analysis: Investigative synthesis comparing historical records against emerging sensor telemetry and institutional custody trails.
- Unresolved: Incidents where available sensor telemetry and witness statements remain insufficient to establish a definitive physical or technological identification.
Responsible use of automated and AI tooling
Our research desk utilizes automated tooling for optical character recognition (OCR), metadata indexing, and search trend detection across federal registers. However, all narrative briefings, contextual evaluations, and factual claims undergo rigorous human editorial oversight before publication to ensure fidelity to primary government records.
Correction transparency and retractions
If new sensor calibrations, government declassification amendments, or agency corrections emerge that contradict an earlier analysis, our desk issues transparent updates with visible revision dates and clear explanatory notes.
