A note on method.
The Disclosure Archive is a curated, public-record museum. It documents the eight-decade history of governments — primarily but not exclusively the United States — investigating unidentified aerial phenomena.
Every exhibit is anchored in primary sources: Department of Defense press releases, AARO reports, congressional testimony, declassified microfilm from Project Blue Book, and national-archives holdings from the United Kingdom, France, and Belgium. Every claim of fact links directly to its original document.
Extended narrative for each exhibit is fetched live at the moment you open the panel — typically from Wikipedia, which is the most actively maintained tertiary source in this subject area. The curator's wall text, pull quotes, and source list are written and assembled here, in-house.
The archive makes no claim of extraterrestrial origin. It claims only that a real record exists, that it has been investigated by serious people inside serious institutions, and that a meaningful residue of cases continues to resist resolution.
Sources are marked by category: GOV (a government office or agency), PRIMARY (a document released by the entity at the centre of the event), ACADEMIC, PRESS, and REF (reference). Where a source is paywalled or restricted, an open-access mirror is preferred when one exists.
We do not publish leaked classified material, anonymous testimony that cannot be independently confirmed, or material whose chain of provenance is unclear. We do not editorialize evidence.
If a source link is broken or a date is wrong, the archive is meant to be corrected. Errors are bugs, not features.
