Source first, mirror second, analysis third
Official links remain visible. Independent mirrors are tracked separately. OCR, transcripts, summaries, and case analysis never overwrite the source layer.
PUBLIC RECORDS / PRIMARY SOURCE INFRASTRUCTURE
BUREAU OF RELEASED INFORMATION
Primary documents. Preserved provenance. Analysis beside the record, never disguised as the record.
FOIA releases, declassified files, administrative correspondence, public records, historical investigations, and related source sets belong here in the least molested form practical. Searchability is useful. Silent alteration is not.
CASE FILES + EVIDENCE METHOD
History is easier to argue about after somebody indexes the paperwork.
Case files combine official records, reading paths, timelines, and claim ledgers. The method guides explain what released records, redactions, and timestamps can actually establish before authentic paperwork gets promoted into an all-purpose truth certificate.
JFK-1963 / ACTIVE
Kennedy Assassination
Shot mechanics, Warren Commission findings, HSCA disagreement, current NARA release layers, and a claim ledger that separates possibility from broader conspiracy questions.
Open case file → MKULTRA / ACTIVEProject MKULTRA
Senate hearings, CIA records, surviving subprojects, unwitting testing, Frank Olson, the 1973 destruction of files, and the limits imposed by an incomplete archive.
Open case file → EVIDENCE METHOD 001 / LIVEDeclassified Does Not Mean Verified
Document type, authorship, source chains, allegation versus finding, redactions, missing records, corroboration, OCR/AI derivatives, and the difference between authentic paperwork and verified claims.
Read method guide → EVIDENCE METHOD 002 / LIVERedactions Are Unknowns, Not Answers
FOIA exemptions, declassification codes, segregability, Glomar responses, duplicate releases, referrals, and how to reason about withheld text without writing the missing sentence yourself.
Read redaction guide → EVIDENCE METHOD 003 / LIVETimestamps Are Evidence, Not a Timeline
Creation time, recordkeeping time, scan time, filesystem metadata, publication time, retrieval time, clock assumptions, timezone normalization, and chronology conflicts.

Alien / UAP Archives — WAR.GOV PURSUE
The 2026 PURSUE collection currently exposes hundreds of official records across rolling releases. Cyberdelia has indexed the bulk source packages and maintains source/provenance state separately from interpretation.
375 RECORDS OBSERVEDPRESERVATION STATE
Alien / UAP Archives
Historic UFO files, modern unresolved reports, documents, video, audio, imagery, and multi-agency source material. Discovery label, not extraterrestrial conclusion.
Enter priority archive →SOURCE MANIFESTFive tranches / ten bulk packages
Official URLs, release dates, posted sizes, priority records, preservation policy, and mirror state in machine-readable form.
Open manifest →CASE-FILE FORMAT
One architecture. Many historical messes.
The same lightweight structure can support COINTELPRO, Church Committee material, Operation Northwoods, historical radiation experiments, engineering disasters, surveillance programs, and other public-interest collections without turning the server into a landfill of duplicate scans.
What happened and what is actually established
Concise orientation with terminology, scope, dates, actors, and the minimum background necessary to read the source material intelligently.
Primary records and reading order
Curated official documents, release pages, reports, hearings, and archive manifests with provenance kept visible.
Supported / conflicted / unresolved
Claims carry their own confidence state so one proven fact cannot quietly donate certainty to three speculative neighbors.
Events and later investigations separated
The original event, official inquiries, later disclosures, digitization events, and publication/retrieval dates remain distinct chronological layers.
CHAIN OF CUSTODY
The record is more than the interesting PDF.
Release letters, folder structure, missing pages, exemption codes, acquisition path, timestamps, and later agency replacements can matter as much as the headline document.
Original binary, unchanged
The file as acquired is preserved separately. When possible, store source URL, agency, release date, request or case number, original filename, directory structure, and cryptographic hash.
Searchable derivative
OCR, extracted text, repaired scans, thumbnails, or converted formats are convenience layers. They are labeled as derivatives and never overwrite the source object.
Interpretation stays outside the evidence
Timelines, entity links, annotations, summaries, contradictions, and AI-assisted analysis are useful only when clearly separated from the released record itself.
INTEGRITY STATES
Every collection should tell you what you actually have.
Hash-locked source preserved
The archived original matches the recorded integrity value.
Known release package present
Files, correspondence, and structure known to belong to the release are preserved together.
Something is missing
The collection remains useful, but incompleteness is visible rather than quietly implied away.
Transformation occurred
OCR, cleanup, recompression, conversion, annotation, or other processing is explicitly identified.
Useful record, weak chain
The file may still warrant preservation, but origin or custody cannot currently be established to the desired standard.
EDITORIAL RULE
Do not ask readers to trust the archive.
Give them enough source context that trust is optional. Cyberdelia may publish interpretations beside records, but the record itself should remain independently inspectable whenever law, privacy, licensing, and technical reality permit.
