Browse canonical incident records
The public-facing catalog starts with the canonical incident layer and keeps core metadata inspectable: dates, locations, IDs, tiers, status, and short source-grounded notes.

Search the record on serious UAP events.
UAP Observatory organizes serious UAP / UFO incidents into a public evidence surface built for search, download, and careful review. The goal is to make the subject easier to inspect through records, not rhetoric.
Waitlist
Join the archive waitlist.
Use the waitlist for launch notices, major public additions, and the moment direct support goes live. It is the cleanest next step until payments are configured.
Addresses are stored for launch and support-go-live notices. A regular outbound newsletter is not running yet.
Independent public-interest archive
The site is meant to function like a public catalog: evidence first, interpretation second. It is independent, source-oriented, and built for public inspection.

Method
See how incidents reach the public layer
The methodology is built around source preservation, candidate-first triage, and a deliberate split between factual capture and later analysis.

Featured incident
Nimitz / Tic Tac
INC-US-2004-NIMITZ-TIC-TAC is the flagship U.S. Navy case centered on the 2004-11-14 intercept launched from the USS Nimitz battle group after radar contacts tracked by the USS Princeton. The current local source base combines David Fravor's official congressional statement with NAVAIR FOIA custody records for the later public FLIR1 release.
Featured incident
Gimbal
INC-US-2014-2015-GIMBAL is the public U.S. Navy East Coast case family associated with the released GIMBAL video and recurring UAP reporting from Navy aviators operating near Virginia Beach in 2014-2015. The current local source base is strongest on squadron linkage, release provenance, and congressional witness context rather than on a complete incident dossier.
Featured incident
GoFast
INC-US-2015-GOFAST is the public U.S. Navy East Coast case family associated with the released GOFAST video and the safety-of-flight concerns described in Ryan Graves's testimony about repeated UAP encounters near Virginia Beach in 2015. The current local source base is strongest on official release provenance and congressional witness framing.
Featured incident
Belgian Wave
INC-BE-1989-1990-BELGIAN-WAVE is a high-signal European case cluster centered on repeated sightings in Belgian airspace, with the March 30-31, 1990 event standing out for combined gendarmerie reporting, radar correlation, and an F-16 scramble described in a report attributed to the Belgian Air Force. That March 30-31, 1990 night is now preserved separately as the child incident INC-BE-1990-03-30-31-INTERCEPT, while this parent record remains the broader continuity and context node for the 1989-1990 wave.

Purpose
What the public layer is for
- Make serious UAP events easier to inspect without lore drift.
- Normalize searchable records so later analysis starts from stable source structure.
- Keep primary-source structure ahead of interpretation.
- Lower the barrier for journalists, researchers, and other serious readers.
Support
Keep the archive public while the research keeps moving.
The main archive should stay open. Support is for maintaining the catalog, publishing structured outputs, and pushing more of the research corpus into public-ready form.
