The War Department has unlimited access to LLMs and compute, but these are delivered as unlabeled files that one must download individually. That's ridiculous.

>unlimited access to LLMs and compute

But extremely limited access to competent human beings.

The US Department of Defense has published a CSV dataset containing UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) observation records. It appears to include structured entries that can be used for independent analysis and research. Dataset: https://www.war.gov/Portals/1/Interactive/2026/UFO/uap-csv.c... Mirror: https://gist.github.com/ahmetcadirci25/e4edb7d30109fdb8ff14b... Could be useful for anyone interested in data analysi…

I'm pretty sure they renamed it the departement of war, for some reason

There is. They're insecure man-children who played too much Call of Duty.

Sounds like incredible progress if a middle schooler can do what took a team of professionals (or one focused adult nerd) less than two decades ago

A bunch of middle/high schoolers could probably build something that looks like a bridge.

I don't know if I'd want to drive on it.

I was expecting this after few tweets by this account: https://x.com/i/status/2037559378958766591 """ We can be sure as the war ends, there will be another distraction by the US using "Aliens, UFOs, and UAPs". If Iran war was a distraction from Epstein files, this will be a distraction from war crimes. We can be sure of some Aliens dot gov site launching distracting the world """

Released a day after the ceasefire falls apart no less

I think it's accurate.

"War" is the application of violence for political ends. "Defense" is only a subset of that.

If you read carefully, only “inconclusive” reports have been released. I guess that’s what “Unexplained Areal Phenomena” means.

That's a good point, they should also release all the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an ordinary explanation.

Along with the reports that have been conclusively shown to have an extraterrestrial explanation. We'll never see those, if they exist.

You'd hope so, but no, the website is ugly and immediately reeks of LLM boilerplate. I miss the days when 18F made bespoke sites from scratch.

Yeah, that an advanced intelligent entity, like me, is averse to having their photo taken by any old yokel who will post it online for clout. That’s the correct interpretation, yes?

No the interpretation is that the more we could prove it if real, the less we do Sailors saw mermaids all the time too, I don't think they're all hiding under a rock since we invented the camera

sailors also reported seeing kraken as well, they were eventually proven right with the giant squid.

According to US congresswoman Luna this is the first of several releases that will be coming out in the following weeks. Edit: I had a look at a bunch of the videos and didn't find anything remarkable, in my opinion. The witness testimonies read like so many others.

Talk about nominative determinism!
