Evidence and claims
Pages distinguish documented evidence, attributable witness testimony, analysis, and speculation. An unidentified observation is a research status, not proof of a particular explanation.
Sources and attribution
We aim to link readers to the underlying public record wherever practical. Primary documents, official records, contemporaneous reporting, later accounts, and commentary have different evidential weight and should not be presented as interchangeable.
Uncertainty and competing explanations
We state material limitations, note plausible conventional explanations, and avoid treating a witness’s credentials, a video’s visual impact, or an unresolved classification as proof of extraordinary origin.
Use of digital tools
Digital tools may assist with research organisation and editing. They do not replace source evaluation or accountable editorial judgement. Individual editor names will be added to research-page records after final review.
Corrections
Readers can flag factual errors, missing context, broken sources, or attribution issues through the corrections process. Corrections or clarifications are made when supported by the available evidence.
