EVIDENCE GRADE
Official Record
In July 1947 a rancher recovered debris northwest of Roswell, New Mexico, and the local air base announced it had recovered a "flying disc." Within hours the account was replaced with a weather balloon. This is the record of what was said, retracted, and later contested — not a verdict on what fell.
05 / FIELD REPORT
Report what you saw
Seen something, or lived through something you can't explain? Log it here. Reports are held for research and studied in aggregate — patterns across many accounts are the point.
◆ Your report is not published as-is and is never treated as a verified case. It joins a separate study of public reports — it can't lift any case up the evidence ladder. Please don't include other people's private details.
