The archive
About UAP Nexus
UAP Nexus is an archive of unidentified aerial phenomena — the sightings people report, the cases that acquired a paper trail, and the dispositions the investigating bodies actually gave. It currently holds 139,459 witness reports spanning 1906–2026, 22 curated case files, and a source registry that every entry must cite to exist. The aim is exhaustive: every sighting this archive can lawfully reach, from every reporting center, government release and national archive that holds one, with references to the same event linked rather than duplicated.
It is one of the Thaumatica archives — a family of catalogs of contested subjects, sharing one evidence standard: the evidence is shown. Its sibling Aletheca is the house's Freedom of Information instrument, and the two are built into each other — sighting and case pages here route "ask for the records" to the office that would hold the paper, in the United States and abroad, and the documents that come back are published with the requests that produced them, refusals included.
The subject has no shortage of confident narrators. What it lacked was a catalog that would show you the document and let you read it yourself. The name says the rest: the record, before the argument.
The data, open
The catalog is readable by machines as well as people: a public JSON API, a llms.txt for AI systems, full sitemaps, and structured data on every page. Attribution belongs to the source archives named on each entry; the compilation is UAP Nexus's.
Seen something yourself? File a report. It enters the log as-reported, like every entry since 1906.
