👉 Live Wiki: https://uap.paxdynamics.com
An AI agents-ready Obisdian knowledge graph wiki compiled from the OCRd war.gov/UFO files — FBI files, State Department cables, NASA crew debriefings, USAF intelligence directives, Project SIGN incident summaries, and US Navy mission reports — woven together as interconnected Obsidian markdown.
The goal: turn a heap of ~110 FOIA-released JSON-OCR'd documents into a navigable, queryable, citation-grounded knowledge base where every claim links back to a primary source.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Sources ingested | 51 / 110 |
| Vault pages | 321 |
| Date range covered | 6 Jul 1947 → 8 May 2026 |
| Last ingest | 2026-05-11 |
See TODO.md for orchestration plan, batch cadence, and remaining sources.
.manifest.json # Single source of truth — every ingested file with content hash
index.md # Master index of every page (alphabetical, by category)
timeline.md # Chronological index — pages by event date (proposed reading order)
log.md # Chronological activity log (every ingest, lint, cross-link)
hot.md # ~500-word session hot cache — recent activity + active threads
_meta/taxonomy.md # Controlled tag vocabulary
sources/ # Raw OCR'd JSON documents waiting to be ingested
concepts/ (46 pages) # Abstract ideas, patterns, mental models
entities/ (113 pages) # People, agencies, units, missions, files, organizations
references/ (160 pages) # Source documents + individual sighting cases
synthesis/ (5 pages) # Cross-cutting analyses connecting multiple concepts
projects/uap/ # Project hub page
Every page has frontmatter: title, category, tags (≤5 canonical), sources, created, updated, summary (≤200 chars), provenance, base_confidence, lifecycle. Pages link via [[wikilinks]] to form a graph.
FBI HQ 62-HQ-83894 — COMPLETE 17/17 artifacts (6 Jul 1947 → 14 Jun 1977, ~30 years, 2,159 OCR pages). The richest single-file structural-history artifact in the wiki. 14 distinct intake channels mapped: civilian correspondence, AAF cooperation regime (Bureau Bulletin No. 42 + 57), inter-agency directives, press clippings, FBI field investigations, policy bulletins, post-Blue-Book Carter-era coordination. Start at entities/fbi-hq-62-83894-file.md.
Project SIGN — 233 incident summaries across 3 NARA box7 bundles (8 Jul 1947 Muroc → 1 Jan 1949 Jackson MS). Founding cases anchored as standalone sighting pages: Arnold Mt Rainier, Mantell Godman, Rhodes Phoenix, Chiles-Whitted, Gorman Fargo, Cascade Mts Johnson. See concepts/project-sign.md.
NASA orbital UAP — Complete d-cluster (Gemini 7 + Apollo 11/12/17 + Skylab), 7/7 files, 6-mechanism A/B/C/D/E/F orbital UAP typology. Apollo 11 "second look" cylinder (multi-witness, instrument-mediated, alternative-eliminated) is the strongest astronaut-class anchor. See concepts/orbital-uap-sighting.md.
State Department UAP cables — 5 cables: PNG 1985 (substantive), Kazakhstan 1994 (substantive), Turkmenistan 2004 (boundary-NGO), Russia/Georgia 2001 (figurative rhetoric), Mexico 2023 (Maussan/Graves Congress). Three sub-patterns under one diplomatic-channel umbrella. See concepts/diplomatic-channel-uap-reporting.md.
DoW-UAP FOIA release — In-progress 40-file Mistral-OCR'd Department of War tranche, 5/40 ingested. Three artifact classes anchored: prepublication-clearance cover (pr20, Mar 2026), mission report (d4/d5/d7 Arabian Gulf 2020), email correspondence (d52, Aug 2024). d7 introduces the corpus's first aircraft-toward-UAP fire-control engagement-pipeline datum (WEAPONS QUALITY 1 TRACK + NEXT TO SHOOT + TFLIR visual ID, no weapons release) + first explicit cross-report citation (48FW prior report). See entities/dow-uap-foia-release.md and concepts/uap-aircraft-engagement.md.
Policy / institutional structure — Cabell AIRMEM #4 (1949), AFOIC-CC-1 (1950), FSR 200-4 reporting regulation, Bureau Bulletin No. 42/57, SAC Letters #38/83, Boggs-Hearn FBI+AF discontinuation memo (1950), Project Twinkle (1950), Project GRUDGE termination, Robertson Panel runup (1952), CIA-IAC Russell-sighting suppression (1955), Condon Committee, Project BLUE BOOK termination (1969), Carter-era post-Blue-Book coordination (1977). All primary-source anchored.
1947 founding period — Schulgen-Reynolds-Ladd-Hoover negotiation arc, Bureau Bulletin No. 42 birth (30 Jul 1947), BB-57 birth chain (Sep 1947), AFBIR-CO 18-sighting analysis (predates Twining by 8 weeks), Roswell hex-disc URGENT teletype, Maury Island full Seattle report + Crisman/Dahl admission, Garrett admission (Sep 1947) on "high brass unconcern = they know what these are."
Other paradigm cases: Lonnie Zamora Socorro NM 1964 (FBI field investigation by SA Byrnes), García Macías Durango Mexico 1950 (earliest FBI-corpus UAP record), 1944 foo-fighters (SHAEF intelligence), USAFE TT 1524 (1948 Swedish-AIS ETI attribution chain), Hunter 1963 NASC "Space Alien Race" memo, COMETA Report 1999, AAFFS-Graves-Maussan 2023 Mexican Congress, 2025 helicopter-orb encounter, 2026 western US event slides.
If you're reading this wiki:
- Browse: open in Obsidian for the graph view and live wikilinks. Start at index.md (alphabetical, by category), timeline.md (chronological, by event date — proposed reading order), or one of the major hub pages listed above.
- Query via the framework: from any agent that supports the obsidian-wiki skills, say "what do I know about <topic>" — the wiki-query skill scans titles, summaries, and tags first, then opens page bodies as needed, and returns wikilink-cited answers.
- Sources are tracked: every page lists its source documents in frontmatter under
sources:. The hash of each ingested document is in .manifest.json for idempotency. Runwiki-ingestagain on the same file and it skips by SHA-256.
If you're contributing to this wiki:
- Drop new OCR'd JSON documents in
sources/and invoke/obsidian-wiki-ingest. - For a single source: pass the path in the prompt. The skill computes the hash, runs the 7-step pipeline (read → QMD discovery → extract → plan → write → cross-ref → manifest), and atomically updates state files.
- Every ~10 sources, run
/cross-linker+/wiki-lint+/tag-taxonomyfor graph hygiene.
Built on the obsidian-wiki framework — a skill-based system where everything is markdown instructions any AI coding agent can read. No scripts or dependencies. Each .skills/<name>/SKILL.md is a self-contained procedure. See the upstream framework README on GitHub.
Wiki content compiled from US Government declassified materials (public domain) and a small number of openly-published reports (COMETA, civilian-research clippings — fair-use citation). All primary-source attribution preserved per-page in sources: frontmatter and provenance blocks.
