Government, agency, military, or public-record releases.
Official means the source is an institution or public record. It does not mean every described event is explained or proven.

How UAP Radar Labels, Separates, And Frames Information
UAP Radar is designed to track public records, reporting, research, witness reports, and speculation without treating every claim as equal. The goal is clarity: readers should know where an item comes from and how much confidence to place in it.
Source Labels
Established reporting or public media coverage.
Reporting can add context and accountability, but it should be separated from the original document or primary source.
Analysis, datasets, methodology, or scientific review.
Research items should focus on methods, assumptions, evidence quality, and limits rather than unsupported conclusions.
Public or firsthand accounts.
Witness reports can matter, especially when patterns emerge, but they are not treated as independently verified by default.
Unverified claims, rumors, theories, or interpretations.
Speculation is clearly labeled so it is not presented as confirmed fact or confused with official records.
Verification States
Verified source
The source identity is clear, such as an agency page, public document, or named outlet.
Reported but unconfirmed
The item is reported publicly, but supporting primary records are not yet attached.
Witness account
The account may be useful, but it needs corroborating detail, context, or independent review.
Unverified / speculative
The claim is not verified and must remain visibly separated from the rest of the feed.
What UAP Radar Does Not Claim
UAP Radar does not claim that every reported object is anomalous, extraterrestrial, or unexplained. A report being unresolved means there is not enough public information to close it, not that one specific extraordinary explanation has been proven.
When a plausible conventional explanation exists, future articles should say so clearly. When the available evidence is weak, that should be visible in the label and article language.
Original Source Links
Current article sources and writer names are mock placeholders used to design the attribution system. When UAP Radar references real reporting, research, or official releases, article pages should link directly to the original writer, publisher, document, or public record whenever that source is available.
For speculative or witness-report items, source links should make the verification limits clear and should not imply that an unverified claim has been confirmed.
