The instrument, not the belief.
AUSPEX is a research platform for people who take UAP seriously without taking every claim at face value. Five pillars organize the work — sky and live observation, the declassified record, cross-reference analysis, AI-assisted query and long-form essays, and (soon) the unofficial record. Every incident carries a published two-axis rubric. All content is drawn from public-domain sources.
THE FIVE PILLARS
Hover the ⌖ glyph for etymology3D global incident map, real-time signal feed, incident atlas, chronological timeline, near-Earth-object tracker. The live-observation surface.
FBI Vault, NARA UAP, AARO, NASA — 706 embedded documents, ~4,300 semantic-search chunks. Case studies, FOIA tracker, researcher profiles, reading list.
DBSCAN spatial clustering, nuclear-proximity exploratory analysis, entity knowledge graph, link-analysis canvas, hypothesis workbench.
AI-assisted query over the corpus and long-form essays on disclosure history, methodology, and adjacent research programs.
The unofficial-record pillar. Currently a placeholder — the pillar will link out to external sources rather than mirror still-classified material.
Most UAP databases publish a single-axis credibility badge — CONFIRMED, HIGH, MEDIUM — and never define what those words mean. AUSPEX grades every incident on two axes: Documentation (what record of the event exists — OFFICIAL, PRESS, TESTIMONY) and Evidence class (what makes it a UAP claim rather than a mundane misidentification — INSTRUMENTED, PHYSICAL TRACE, MULTI-WITNESS, SINGLE-WITNESS). The badge encodes the distinction that the field actually cares about: “the event happened” is not the same claim as “the event was anomalous.”
Grades are computed from structured fields (source, radar-confirmation, physical evidence, witness count) — not hand-tagged. That means every one of the 87 verified incidents is graded consistently and the badge updates automatically when the underlying evidence changes. The derivation function is a single ~90-line file you can inspect.
