Purpose
The UAP Index is designed to collect, organize, and analyze information related to Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) using a source-based and evidence-based approach.
The database does not determine truth. Instead, it records:
- Who made a statement
- What was said
- What event is being described
- What evidence exists
- Who corroborates or contradicts the statement
- Where the information originated
The goal is to help researchers evaluate information using transparency, provenance, and corroboration.
Core Philosophy
The UAP Index is built around a simple principle:
Trust should be earned through evidence and corroboration.
People, organizations, documents, sensor systems, and media sources may all contribute information. The database records these relationships and allows researchers to evaluate credibility independently.

Guiding Principles
The UAP Index does not determine what is true.
Instead, it seeks to document:
- Sources
- Statements
- Evidence
- Corroboration
- Contradictions
- Relationships
Researchers and readers are encouraged to evaluate information using the complete record rather than relying on a single source.
