Questions

Sightings FAQ

Are sightings on UAP Radar verified?

Not by default. Public sightings are labeled as reports unless official records or corroborating evidence support stronger conclusions.

Why are some sighting locations approximate?

Markers may use city, regional, or public-record coordinates to protect privacy and avoid implying more precision than the source supports.

Can readers submit a sighting?

Yes. Readers can submit structured public sighting reports with location, date, conditions, observation details, and media or context notes.
