UFO evidence hub

UFO cases, UAP reports, evidence, and debunks.

UFO / 不明飞行物

A source-backed UFO and UAP hub for readers searching UFO sightings, alien claims, government records, military videos, disclosure news, and whether famous UFO cases are real.

What counts as UFO evidence?

Useful UFO evidence has a date, publisher, location, original report, image, video, radar record, official file, or witness trail that can be inspected before interpretation.

Why government records matter

AARO, National Archives, FBI Vault, CIA Reading Room, Department of Defense, and aviation records often establish what was documented even when they do not prove the strongest claim.

How debunks are handled

Debunks are first-class material. Balloons, aircraft, flares, drones, satellites, hoaxes, media artifacts, and misidentification can all reduce the remaining mystery.

Phoenix Lights

On March 13, 1997, thousands of Arizona residents reported unusual lights crossing the night sky. The case is best understood as two overlapping episodes: an earlier wave of witnesses describing a large silent V-shaped formation moving across the state, and a later widely filmed row of bright lights near Phoenix that officials and skeptics associate with military flares over the Barry Goldwater Range.
