Quick-quote ready talking points

For podcasts, TV segments, and articles. Attribution: "PURSUE UFO Tracker" or "the independent PURSUE archive at pursueufotracker.com".

"The Trump administration released 161 declassified files. The most striking ones aren't the most famous ones - and the official war.gov interface gives you no way to find them."- on why this index exists
"There is no proof of aliens in this release. There is also no proof against. What there is, irrefutably, is 80 years of trained military and government personnel observing objects whose kinematics no known craft can replicate."- on the honest verdict
"Every score on this site is reproducible. The rubric is open JSON. We use AI to apply human-designed weighting - we do not use AI to decide if something is alien. No model can honestly do that."- on AI methodology
"Every file has a SHA-256 hash. Re-download from war.gov, hash it locally, compare. They match. That's how journalists fact-check us."- on verification

What we are - and what we are not

Use of materials

All underlying files are works of the U.S. Government and are in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105. You may cite, embed, screenshot, redistribute, and commercialize freely. Attribution to the source agency (FBI, DoD, NASA, State Dept) is courteous; attribution to this index is appreciated but not required.

Editorial content unique to this site (the Anomalousness Index scores, summaries, audience-facing TLDRs, and curatorial framing) is licensed CC0 - public domain dedication. Use freely with or without attribution.

Embed code

Drop any individual file's player into your story or social post. Replace FILE-ID with the slug from the URL (e.g., nasa-uap-vm1-apollo-12-1969 for that file's page):

<iframe src="https://pursueufotracker.com/generated/files/FILE-ID.html"
        width="100%" height="720"
        style="border:0;border-radius:8px"
        loading="lazy"
        title="UAP file from PURSUE"></iframe>

Verification manifest

SHA-256 hashes for every file we index. Journalists, fact-checkers, and skeptics: re-download the file from war.gov, hash it locally, and confirm it matches our manifest. They will.

AI disclosure

We use AI for three things, all human-supervised. Full AI disclosure on the verdict page →

  1. Rubric application. Claude (Anthropic) reads each file's publicly reported description and selects which rubric value matches each of six components. The rubric and weights are human-designed and live as open JSON at /data/scoring-rubric.json.
  2. Video transcription. Closed captions sourced from DVIDS where provided; OpenAI Whisper used as fallback for files without official captions.
  3. PDF text extraction. pdfplumber (open-source) pulls searchable text out of every PDF.

We do not use AI to decide if something is alien. No model can honestly do that. We refuse to publish such a number.
