This page sets out the editorial position and legal disclaimers governing the content of UFO Atlas. By accessing this site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood the following statements.
Nature of the content
UFO Atlas publishes research, analysis, and commentary on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), historical texts, and related cultural topics. All content represents the editorial position of UFO Atlas based on publicly available sources, declassified government documents, peer-reviewed academic research, and published witness testimony.
Articles on this site present hypotheses, interpretations, and analytical commentary. They are not statements of fact about specific events except where explicitly cited from primary sources such as government FOIA productions, sworn congressional testimony, or peer-reviewed academic publications. Readers are encouraged to review the cited sources and form independent judgments.
No professional advice
This site does not provide medical, legal, financial, psychological, or other professional advice. Content is for informational and educational purposes only. Readers seeking professional advice in any of these domains should consult appropriately licensed professionals in their jurisdiction.
References to financial markets, investment positions, or commercial entities are analytical observations about potential scenarios and do not constitute investment recommendations. References to medical or psychological topics are analytical observations about reported phenomena and do not constitute medical advice.
Statements about named individuals
Where this site references named individuals — current or former public officials, military personnel, scientists, researchers, witnesses, or journalists — the references are based on publicly available source material. Statements made by such individuals are attributed and cited. Characterisations of their actions, statements, or positions are based on the cited public record.
No content on this site should be interpreted as a personal accusation of criminal conduct, professional misconduct, or moral wrongdoing against any named individual unless such characterisation is explicitly cited from public legal proceedings, sworn testimony, or established journalistic reporting from recognized publications. Any individual who believes content on this site has been mischaracterised may contact us via the address listed on the About page.
Statements about institutions and organisations
This site contains analytical commentary about religious institutions, government agencies, private corporations, and academic bodies. Such commentary is based on the published historical record, public statements by representatives of those institutions, and academic scholarship. Statements about institutional patterns of behaviour are analytical conclusions drawn from the documented record and are presented as the editorial position of UFO Atlas.
Where this site discusses the historical actions of religious institutions, including the Catholic Church, the Council of Nicaea, the Inquisition, or other historical religious bodies, such discussion is based on established academic historical scholarship including the work of Bart D. Ehrman, Elaine Pagels, and primary historical sources. References to these historical events are not statements about the contemporary moral character of any current religious institution or its current adherents.
Where this site references private corporations — including aerospace contractors, defense companies, or commercial entities — in connection with allegations made in sworn congressional testimony, FOIA-released documents, or published whistleblower accounts, such references reproduce the public allegations and do not constitute independent claims by UFO Atlas about the truth of those allegations. The named corporations have not necessarily confirmed or denied the allegations.
Hypothetical and speculative content
Significant portions of this site present hypothetical scenarios — including but not limited to the "Visitor Hypothesis," the "Cryptoterrestrial Hypothesis," scenarios involving formal partial disclosure, and analyses of probable interpretations of ancient texts. Such hypothetical content is explicitly labelled and presented as analytical speculation. It is not presented as established fact.
Probability assessments cited in articles (such as "50-65% likelihood" of various hypotheses) are subjective methodological estimates based on the cited evidence base, not statistical claims derived from formal probability calculations. They represent the editorial position of UFO Atlas and may be revised as new evidence emerges.
Sources and citations
Articles include footnoted citations to primary sources, academic publications, news reporting, and government documents. UFO Atlas makes good-faith efforts to cite accurately and to verify claims before publication. Where sources are unverified, contested, or speculative, this is generally noted explicitly in the text.
If you identify a factual error in our content, please contact us via the address listed on the About page. We will review the claim and issue corrections where warranted. Corrections are noted on the modified article with the date of revision.
No affiliation
UFO Atlas is an independent research and synthesis project. It is not affiliated with any government agency, religious institution, commercial entity, political party, or advocacy organisation. The site does not receive funding from any of these categories of entities.
UFO Atlas is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Defense, the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), or any other U.S. government agency.
