UAP Claim Tracker
A small ledger of UAP clips, file releases, statements, and claims: what the source says, what people add, and what data is still missing.
What this is
This is the receipt desk for UAP Logbook. It tracks the public claims, clips, file releases, and official statements covered here, without turning every new headline into a conclusion.
The tracker is intentionally small. One useful row beats a pretend database. New rows are added when a case has a source worth preserving.
Current ledger
Japan reviewed U.S.-released UAP footage
- status
- official statement
- claim
- Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara addressed U.S.-released UAP footage around Japan and said any Japanese disclosure would be handled case by case.
- overclaim
- Some posts turn this into Japan promising a major disclosure dump. The public statement is more cautious than that.
- missing
- Original Japanese files, date/location context, collection platform, sensor type, range, and whether any case is actually new.
Kaku and Gallaudet on the UAP file release
- source
- FOX 10 Phoenix interview with Michio Kaku and Timothy Gallaudet.
- status
- interview / analysis
- claim
- Kaku calls the file release historic but says there is no smoking gun. Gallaudet frames some Navy encounters as safety-of-flight issues.
- overclaim
- The segment headline runs hotter than the evidence shown. The interview does not establish any specific case.
- missing
- Original files, telemetry, range, platform data, and a clear list of what is new versus recycled.
PR-046 infrared clip
- source
- DVIDS public release and Metabunk comparison work.
- status
- official clip
- claim
- A nine-second INDOPACOM infrared clip shows a small contrast feature described as football-shaped with three radial projections.
- overclaim
- Official does not mean understood. The frame is too thin to support a designed-craft reading by itself.
- missing
- Full video, range, platform motion, wind data, sensor mode, metadata, and why ordinary explanations were not sufficient.
Tikaboo Peak closure
- source
- BLM temporary closure order and Dreamland Resort field report.
- status
- official closure
- claim
- A BLM temporary closure now blocks the public route to Tikaboo Peak, the hard-to-reach Area 51 viewpoint.
- overclaim
- The closure is real. The motive is still disputed and not proven by the order alone.
- missing
- Specific public safety rationale, internal decision record, and whether the closure remains temporary after reassessment.
Hellfire Yemen clip
- source
- House hearing clip, ABC News coverage, Metabunk discussion, and Hank Green's skeptical breakdown.
- status
- public clip / weak provenance
- claim
- A missile appears to pass through or strike an object without the expected cinematic explosion.
- overclaim
- No explosion does not equal exotic technology. Fuze behavior and a lightweight target remain plausible issues.
- missing
- Original video, sensor metadata, object range, platform track, wind data, missile type, fuze configuration, and post-engagement tracking.
Viral star-shaped UFO clip
- source
- Caspersight video and longer-context review.
- status
- viral clip
- claim
- A short crop shows a bright star-shaped object. The longer footage makes a paraglider or canopy with flare-like light plausible.
- overclaim
- The cropped version makes the case look stronger by removing context.
- missing
- Original file, exact location, date, time, camera, full-resolution footage, and independent event records.
Tim Burchett on Joe Rogan
- source
- Joe Rogan Experience #2495.
- status
- congressional claim
- claim
- Burchett argues that UFO oversight is limited by classification, contractors, compartmentalization, and filtered disclosure.
- overclaim
- The interview is a map of Burchett's position, not a document drop.
- missing
- Named documents, direct evidence, program records, contractor records, and verifiable chain of custody.
PURSUE / war.gov UFO file release
- source
- war.gov/ufo, official release page, AP and The Debrief coverage.
- status
- file portal
- claim
- A public portal gathers UAP videos, old case files, NASA material, release dates, and unresolved records.
- overclaim
- Unresolved does not mean alien. A portal is a filing system, not a conclusion.
- missing
- A clear inventory of what is newly declassified, what was already public, and what records include enough metadata to evaluate.
How to read the rows
The useful split is simple: the source says one thing, social media often adds another, and the missing data usually decides whether the case can move from interesting to testable.
When a case has no original file, no metadata, no range, no platform context, or no chain of custody, it stays in the notebook. It does not become a trophy.
