PUBLIC RECORDS RESEARCH

Check the sky before you
chase the mystery.

Enter a place, date, and time. AnomalyBrief checks weather, visibility, solar activity, sky events, and public source records — then builds a research trail you can share or export.

8 verified public records · 161 PURSUE files indexed · 30 public sources tracked

Plus 50 reference cases used to demonstrate the cross-check workflow. PURSUE count reflects the live war.gov/ufo mirror; refreshes daily.

What AnomalyBrief is not

  • Not a government site. AnomalyBrief is independent and has no affiliation with AARO, the Department of War, NASA, or any agency.
  • Not a claim that UAP are extraterrestrial. Evidence scores measure documentation completeness only — not the probability of any specific explanation.
  • Not a reporting hotline. To report a UAP encounter, contact AARO directly at aaro.mil.
  • Not a classified-source database. Every record links to a publicly released document or dataset.
  • Not a substitute for official aviation, safety, or air-traffic reporting. Use the FAA, NOAA, or your local authorities for time-sensitive issues.

Research-grade tools. No hype.

AnomalyBrief connects public anomaly reports to primary sources, cross-checks signals against independent data layers, and assigns a structured evidence score. Every claim links to an origin document.

Source-backed records

Every case links to its original public source. No orphaned claims. No mystery citations. If it is in the database, there is a document or official record to point to.

False-positive checks

Each signal is cross-checked against weather data, aircraft transponder records, satellite pass predictions, and optical artifact catalogs before a case is published.

Evidence scoring

Our 0–100 score measures research completeness — how much verifiable data supports the case record — not the probability of any particular explanation, including extraterrestrial origin.

Local context checks

Enter coordinates, city, date, and time. AnomalyBrief checks public weather and space-weather data to show what the environment looked like during a reported event.

Five context layers. Every case.

Before a case enters the database, we run five parallel checks against independent data sources to identify conventional explanations and flag what remains unresolved.

Weather context

NOAA surface observations, radiosonde balloon logs, and inversion layer data.

Active

Sky context

Astronomical event catalogs, transient alerts, and sky condition archives.

Active

Satellite context

Celestrak TLE pass predictions cross-checked against reported time and bearing.

Active

Aircraft context

ADS-B transponder data and FAA NOTAM records for the reported location and window.

Active

Astronomy context

JPL Horizons ephemeris, fireball catalogs, and variable star indexes.
