A searchable archive of declassified UAP/UFO files, news, and analysis

Hey HN! Y’all are great. It is so fun to build things these days. I wanna show off this archive that I conjured to run at home for consuming the recently releases of UFO files from the US government. This started as a Mac Mini-hosted project that I executed with my OpenClaw over Discord. After showing this to a few friends, I decided to get it online and find a catchy domain. Cloudflare was the perfect hosting choice. There’s a lot of bonkers things out there going on, so I added human curated “Signals” - news, analysis and discussion of UFO and adjacent news. The backlog of signals was…

In plain words

A searchable archive of declassified US government UAP and UFO files, combined with human-curated news and analysis. The platform lets users browse recently released government documents while exploring "Signals"—vetted news and discussion of UFO-related events—and "Insights" that provide data analysis on the files. Designed for researchers, enthusiasts, and those interested in government-released UAP information, the archive is hosted online and searchable.

Hey HN! Y’all are great. It is so fun to build things these days. I wanna show off this archive that I conjured to run at home for consuming the recently releases of UFO files from the US government. This started as a Mac Mini-hosted project that I executed with my OpenClaw over Discord. After showing this to a few friends, I decided to get it online and find a catchy domain. Cloudflare was the perfect hosting choice. There’s a lot of bonkers things out there going on, so I added human curated “Signals” - news, analysis and discussion of UFO and adjacent news. The backlog of signals was informed by the links shared between myself and my first tech boss. We have both seen things that these files help confirm. As part of a reason to bring people back, I asked my assistant to do some digging into the data and come up with “Insights”, a dedicated section on the site that includes the responsible LLM in the byline. There a media pipeline for these insights using Remotion to generate social-media ready videos that I can upload to TT, IG, and YouTube. I built this for fun. Mostly with Ollama-powered GLM 5.1. Runs on Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2. Keyboard navigation within the doc viewer is blazing fast. OpenClaw is my CMS. Eventually, I hope to find some passive revenue through ethical ads if I get enough traffic. I think there is an audience for this. Right now, this is helpful with sharing the WTFs (and psyops) of the world with friends. Hit me up with questions! Stay rad, HN!

    I built a real-time OSINT dashboard pulling 15 live global feedsMar 2026 · github.com · ▲312

    Sup HN, So I got tired of bouncing between Flightradar, MarineTraffic, and Twitter every time something kicked off globally, so I wrote a dashboard to aggregate it all locally. It’s called Shadowbroker. I’ll admit I leaned way too hard into the "movie hacker" aesthetic for the UI, but the actual pipeline underneath is real. It pulls commercial/military ADS-B, the AIS WebSocket stream (about 25,000+ ships), N2YO satellite telemetry, and GDELT conflict data into a single MapLibre instance. Getting this to run without melting my browser was the hardest part. I'm running this on a laptop…

    Hey guys, I love HN! I wanted to extend the same aesthetic and community towards things beyond tech-related news. I thought it would be cool to get the same quality of community gathered around the latest and greatest research coming out. Let me know what you guys think of what I have so far. It's still early so there are probably bugs and other quality issues. If there's any features missing that you'd want let me know. ALSO, if any of you are familiar with the map of the territory of any particular field, please let me know! Would love to pick your brain and to come up with a 'most…

    A Cryptic Hunt Website2021 · ▲17

    Hi HN!, We're a group of High Schooler's who have made a website for an international cryptic hunt we have been organizing. Everything has been built from the ground up and has been open sourced. We'd love feedback on our work. And if it interests you, feel free to register and try a level or two! URL: https://halocrypt.com/ Source: https://github.com/halocrypt We're particularly proud of our frontend, since we have used a framework we built ourselves!

    So much content. Great UI (imo, compared to what gov released today). I'm thinking the site is defunct now but it's been archived plenty. I must have first came across this website in the late 00's.

    Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
