How This Record Was Documented
The Alien Archive records only what is documented in the source footage and its metadata — the date, the location, the description of what was observed, and where the recording came from. It does not assert that any sighting is extraterrestrial, nor does it editorialize the record beyond what is visible and reported. Each entry passes a multi-stage filter for AI-generated media, talking-head commentary, and non-embeddable sources before it is published; low-credibility and unreviewed records are kept out of search indexes until they meet the archive's bar.
