# UAP Nexus

> A Thaumatica archive of unidentified aerial phenomena: 139,459 witness-reported UAP/UFO sightings (1906–2026) with normalized taxonomy and geocoding, 22 curated landmark case files cross-linked to the documentary record (government files, FOIA releases, civilian archives, press), and a cited source registry. Dispositions are recorded as the investigating bodies gave them — never upgraded to fact, never explained away.

The record, before the argument. UAP Nexus does not assert what the phenomena are; it catalogs what was reported, what was investigated, and what the investigating bodies concluded, with provenance on every entry.
