Evidence desk
How a case file is reviewed
Every tip is logged with a timestamp, source type, and chain of custody. Anonymous submissions are accepted, but we note the lack of attribution in the final file.
Video evidence is run frame-by-frame against known aircraft, balloon, and flare signatures. Radar logs are cross-checked with public flight tracking where available.
A case closes as credible, inconclusive, or debunked, with the full reasoning published alongside the footage. Dissenting analyst notes are published too.
