Vide Verum — See the Truth

A vetted, sourced chronology of UAP encounters, government programs, whistleblower testimony, and congressional disclosures spanning 75 years. Every incident cleared a curation bar. Nothing on this record has been debunked.

The record

Scroll through 75 years of documented history

Every incident placed in time. Every pattern visible. Every source cited. This is not speculation — this is the documented record.

Era 01
1941–1946
Era 01 · Before 1947
Before anyone had a name for it
1944
Foo Fighters — the first documented global wave
Allied and Axis pilots both filed reports of glowing orbs tracking their aircraft during combat missions over Europe and the Pacific. The phenomenon was so consistent that both sides assumed the other had developed a secret weapon. Post-war investigation found that neither had. The objects had no allegiance — they simply watched.
Curator
Both sides of the deadliest war in human history reported identical phenomena and neither claimed responsibility. Whatever was tracking those aircraft had no allegiance to any nation on earth. That fact has never been adequately explained.
Era 02 · 1947–1969
The government starts watching — and managing
Jul 1947
Roswell — the reversal that defined the cover-up
On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field issued a press release confirming recovery of a "flying disc." Within 24 hours, reversed to weather balloon. Material transported to Wright Field under armed guard. The base commander received a call from the Pentagon before the day was out.
Curator
A weather balloon retrieval does not require armed escorts, classification orders, or a Pentagon call to the base commander within hours. The speed of suppression tells you the decision was made by people who already knew what they were looking at.
Era 03 · 1967
Something was watching the weapons
Mar 1967
Malmstrom — ten ICBMs, disabled simultaneously
At 8:45 AM a guard reported a glowing red oval above Echo Flight. All ten Minuteman I ICBMs went to No-Go status simultaneously. Each had independent fail-safe systems. Boeing engineers and USAF investigators found no mechanical or electrical explanation. The event was classified for decades.
Curator
Ten independent nuclear weapons systems with separate fail-safes shut down in perfect synchrony. Malfunctions don't work that way. It took 54 years and a congressional hearing to say that publicly.
Era 04 · 1994
62 children. One story. No explanation.
Sep 1994
Ariel School, Zimbabwe — 62 children, one account
During morning break, 62 children aged 5–12 reported watching a silver craft land on the school grounds. Harvard psychiatrist John Mack flew to Zimbabwe and interviewed each child separately. Their accounts were consistent, detailed, and showed no signs of coaching or fabrication.
Curator
John Mack was a Pulitzer Prize-winning Harvard psychiatrist who staked his professional reputation on these children. The documentary Ariel Phenomenon (2022) revisits the now-adult witnesses — not one has changed their account in 30 years.
Era 05 · 2023
For the first time, someone says it under oath
Jul 2023
Grusch — sworn testimony that changed everything
David Grusch, a former NRO representative and decorated intelligence officer, testified under oath before Congress: the US government has for decades been in possession of non-human craft and biological material. He alleged illegal concealment from Congressional oversight, named corroborating witnesses, and stated he had been retaliated against for coming forward.
Curator
This is not a podcast or a leak. This is sworn congressional testimony with legal consequences for perjury. Whether or not you believe him — the act of saying it publicly, under oath, before Congress, is the most significant moment in this subject's recorded history.
"

The materials archived here are unresolved cases, meaning the government is unable to make a definitive determination on the nature of the observed phenomena.

Theoretical frameworks

What are they? Nine frameworks. No consensus.

The incidents are documented. The question of what is behind them remains open. These are the leading theoretical frameworks — presented neutrally, ordered by current research prominence.

01
Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
Interstellar visitation
Beings from other star systems visiting Earth. The oldest and most culturally embedded framework. Most referenced in official government contexts.
92%
02
Interdimensional Hypothesis
Parallel reality intrusion
Entities traversing dimensions rather than crossing interstellar space. Championed by Jacques Vallée. Gaining serious traction post-Grusch.
78%
03
Human Black Project
Classified human technology
Advanced human technology so classified it appears non-human. AARO's working hypothesis for many cases. Fails to explain pre-aviation incidents.
65%
04
Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis
Concealed earthly intelligence
Non-human intelligences native to Earth — possibly subsurface or oceanic — developing parallel to human civilization. Peer-reviewed in 2024.
54%
05
Extratempestrial Model
Time-traveling future humans
Our own descendants returning through time to study their past. Explains humanoid appearance without requiring convergent alien evolution.
44%
06
Ultraterrestrial Hypothesis
Non-human earthly intelligence
The broad umbrella for all non-human intelligences native to our reality. IDH, CTH, and ETM are subsets. Championed by John Keel and Hal Puthoff.
