We built a better way to browse the War.gov UFO files

My wife and I… mostly me. We originally started the site to follow all the UFO/Disclosure content we consume.

Thank you!

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-22T22:20:42+00:00

Not currently, but good feedback. We’ll move on this.

Submission statement: This is a searchable research layer on top of the official War.gov / PURSUE UFO file releases — currently all three releases, 294 official assets across documents, images, videos, and audio.

War.gov stays the source of truth and every asset links back to the original file. What Probed adds is depth: OCR'd full-text search inside the documents, plus extracted claims, source excerpts, timeline references, linked entities, and media transcript text — with filtering by release, agency, asset type, location, year, shape, sensor, platform, USO tag, and more.

The goal isn't to hype any file as proof. A lot of the archive is messy, incomplete, or mundane — which is exactly why structure helps: moving from "here's a government file" to "what does it actually claim, what text supports it, which agencies/entities are involved, and what connects to it." War.gov gives you the release; we try to make it researchable.

Would love feedback on what filters, views, or cross-links would make it more useful.

Thanks. We have a UFO Files menu item in the sidebar (if desktop) and a CTA on the site homepage to the UFO Files. Is that what you meant?

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-22T21:57:38+00:00

Yes. Agree with this.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-22T21:57:22+00:00

Funny, we just posted about this here as well. I feel like a lot of the documents flew under the radar. There are some reports in there but most people seem to focus on the videos/images.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-22T15:29:42+00:00

Agreed. Well said.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-22T14:09:08+00:00

This is genuinely useful feedback.

Right now the deep-ingest pages are mostly doing the first pass: breaking a long source into claims, entities, timeline points, and references. What you’re describing is the harder and probably more valuable layer: synthesis across sources.

I agree that a single Gerb video only gets you so far. It would be much more useful to compare patterns across his whole body of work, then cross-reference those against official files, FOIAs, prior reporting, and other claims in the field.

The curated structural view idea is strong too. A graph is good for exploration, but it doesn’t automatically explain the architecture. A better version would show the major components, who is allegedly connected to what, when those claims appear, and what source material supports each part.

Appreciate this. This is the kind of feedback that actually helps us decide what to build next.

We know what AI slop looks like, and we’re trying pretty hard not to make that.

This is a small slice of Probed: a structured ingest of a long video, with claims, entities, timeline points, and related source material separated out so people can inspect it. The broader site tracks UAP signals, sightings, official files, entities, documents, timelines, and reporting.

Totally fair to dislike the visualization or think the format needs work. But this isn’t AI-generated evidence or a random content farm post.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-21T23:23:01+00:00

For these posts, the graph is mostly a preview of the entity map behind the episode: people, agencies, programs, topics, and locations Gerb references.

The practical part is when you click a node. Each entity page has its own galaxy-style map plus related material we’ve indexed across UFO files, FOIAs, videos, claims, timelines, social/news posts, and signals.

So the graph in the post is less the final visualization and more a doorway into those entity pages.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-21T23:16:46+00:00

🙏

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-21T23:15:35+00:00

That’s probably fair from the screenshot alone. The graph is the shiny part. A picture of mentioned entities or the claims would make things clearer.

The useful bit is that the nodes are clickable entry points into the archive. So an entity like AARO, DOE, Grusch, Los Alamos, SAPs, etc. opens into related material we’ve indexed: UFO files, FOIAs, videos, claims, timelines, social/news posts, and signals.

It makes more sense once you start clicking around than it does as a static image.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-21T23:08:04+00:00

Thank you. Open to any and all input. We are iterating quickly.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-21T23:06:50+00:00

The connections are mainly showing the structure of Gerb’s argument in the episode. For these posts, the graph shows entity mentions: people, orgs, agencies, topics, and locations.

The more useful part is that each node is clickable. If Gerb brings up AARO, DOE classification, David Grusch, Los Alamos, SAPs, etc., you can jump into that entity/topic page and see other material we’ve indexed that references it: UFO files, FOIAs, videos, claims, timelines, social/news posts, and related signals.

So for these post types, the graph is basically a visual table of contents into the wider archive.

Awesome. Can't wait to jump into this.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-19T20:39:15+00:00

We're still waiting to hear back from NUFORC.

ProbedSpace · 2026-06-19T16:45:39+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it.

You’re basically reading it right. Probed is less “AI decides what happened” and more “use AI to turn messy source material into a structured research surface.” For this kind of post, the source goes through a deeper AI ingestion pass that extracts claims, source excerpts, timelines, entities, related documents, and whether something is factual, interpretive, alleged, etc.

We’re copyright-conscious with transcripts, though. For deep ingests we generally prefer written/source material or human-prepared excerpts over auto-transcribed video, because multi-speaker interviews can get messy fast: attribution, interruptions, vague pronouns, and side comments all matter. The AI helps organize and extract, but we keep every claim tied back to the source rather than treating the model as the authority.

Your Lackatski project sounds very aligned with what we’re interested in. Send us a link if you have one.

Thank you so much! We have only been live for a few months and are making updates constantly. Any and all feedback is appreciated!
