Premise

The U.S. government has been steadily releasing previously-classified UFO / UAP documents — FBI files going back to the 1940s, NASA Apollo crew debriefings, modern Department of War mission reports from the Middle East. Hundreds of PDFs of varying quality, dropped in batches, mostly read by no one. Some are illuminating. Most are bureaucratic noise. Telling them apart at scale is exactly what a multimodal LLM should be good at — but doing it well requires architecture, not just prompting.

This project is a pipeline that ingests the entire release, runs each document through a multimodal vision judge (which can read the scanned page images directly), then through a text-only critic (which checks the judge's claims against the extracted text and flags unsupported assertions), then commits a credibility-scored summary to a local database. Everything runs on a local 32GB GPU — no API calls, no cloud inference, no document leaves the machine.

It's also a deliberate test of the map-reduce judge pattern: instead of feeding a 200-page document into one prompt, the judge analyzes each page in isolation, then a reduce step folds the per-page findings into a coherent document-level summary. The architectural payoff is concrete and measurable.

The 7.28× speedup is the map-reduce vs monolithic comparison on the same 28-page test set: 133.5 minutes → 18.4 minutes. Parallelizing per-page judgment unlocks both throughput and KV-cache stability — a long monolithic prompt eventually degrades on the 32GB card; per-page prompts each stay well under the context budget.

    Multimodal judge

    This document is a compilation of official USG transcripts, primarily from Apollo 17 air-to-ground voice communications. It records routine mission operations, including launch sequences, lunar geological observations, and meteorological analysis. However, it contains significant reports of visual anomalies interpreted as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). Crew members describe observing bright, jagged, tumbling fragments and distinct physical objects with rhythmic flashing patterns, distinct from stars or debris. Specific anomalies include objects estimated at 10-12 Earth diameters, rotating three-dimensional entities, and a potential impact event (flash/streak) on the lunar surface near the Grimaldi crater. The document also notes technical anomalies in guidance systems and includes witness testimony regarding bright flashes observed from the ground.

    Key technical points:
    - Crew observed 'bright particles or fragments' and 'jagged, angular fragments' drifting by the window, described as tumbling and static after maneuvers.
    - Visual analysis identified objects as 'flat, flakelike particles' approx. 6 inches across, with no relative motion between fragments.
    - A distinct physical object was reported as 'three-dimensional,' 'bright,' 'obviously rotating,' and 'flashing,' located way out in the distance.
    - The object exhibited a 'very rhythmic' flashing pattern (bright followed by dull) and was estimated to be 10 to 12 Earth diameters in size.
    - Telemetry data placed the anomalous object at a pitch of 45 degrees; it was visible for approximately 24 hours.
    - Lunar Module Pilot reported a 'bright little flash' and 'thin streak of light' on the lunar surface near Grimaldi crater, suggesting a physical impact detectable by seismometers.
    - Technical anomaly noted: 7% continuous bias in Guidance Display Control (GDC) in Pz-Pc position, resetting to zero in ALPHA mode.
    - Ground witness reported a 'very bright spot' flashing between eyes, likened to a train headlight, observed in a sleep-hazy state.
    - Standard mission data includes launch sequences, S-IVB stage separation, and meteorological analysis of cyclonic circulation near Hawaii and the Solomon Islands.

    Multimodal judge

    This document is a declassified NASA technical crew debriefing transcript from the Apollo 11 mission, dated July 31, 1969. It contains detailed first-hand accounts from astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins regarding anomalous visual phenomena observed during the mission. The reports cover two primary categories of anomalies: external objects observed in space and internal luminous phenomena within the cabin. External observations include a large, tumbling object described variously as an 'L-shape,' 'open suitcase,' or 'hollow cylinder' that appeared near the spacecraft despite ground control indicating the S-IVB stage was thousands of miles away. Internal observations involve unexplained flashes of light, static electricity effects, and 'zapping' lights that the astronauts correlated with solar direction and hypothesized might be subatomic particles or hull penetrations. The document is marked Confidential and represents official government testimony.

    Key technical points:
    - External Anomaly: Astronauts observed a large, tumbling object near the spacecraft, described as having 'sizeable dimension' and appearing as an 'L-shape,' 'open suitcase,' or 'hollow cylinder.'
    - Discrepancy: The external object was initially suspected to be the S-IVB stage, but ground control confirmed the actual stage was 6,000 miles away.
    - Internal Anomalies: Buzz Aldrin reported unexplained 'double flashes' and lines of light inside the cabin during transearth coast, hypothesizing they were caused by object penetration or emissions upon impact with struts.
    - Static Electricity: Aldrin observed static sparks and correlated internal lights with the direction of the sun; Armstrong reported 50 significant observations of internal lights.
    - Hypotheses: Armstrong suggested internal lights might be visible neutrons or atomic particles; Aldrin initially suspected external lights were lasers but later attributed one to solar reflection off water.
    - Optical Issues: Sextant optics and focus changes led to misinterpretations of the external object's shape (e.g., appearing as a cylinder vs. open book).
    - Documentation: The phenomena were noted in official debriefings, with some events failing to register on film due to exposure limits or brightness of the Earth.

    Multimodal judge

    This document consists of transcripts from Apollo 10 mission voice communications (Tape 90/4 and others) between the spacecraft crew (Intrepid/Snoopy) and Mission Control (Houston). The logs primarily detail routine operational procedures, including computer handovers, battery charge termination, rendezvous tracking, and status checks. However, the transcripts contain significant anomalous reports. Most notably, the Command Module Pilot reports visual phenomena described as 'particles of light' escaping the spacecraft and moving with directed propulsion toward the stars, which Mission Control acknowledges but does not investigate further. Additionally, the crew reports a technical anomaly involving flashing '8's on display registers, attributed to Electromagnetic Interference (EMI), and a discrepancy regarding the visibility of the tracking light on floating debris.

    Key technical points:
    - CMP reports visual anomalies: 'particles of light' escaping the spacecraft and moving with directed propulsion ('press off at the stars'), distinct from boiler debris.
    - Mission Control acknowledges the visual anomaly report but immediately pivots to tracking data without further inquiry.
    - Crew reports 'all 8's flash' on address and information registers, pulsing every second; identified as likely Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) confirmed by ground technician 'Fredo'.
    - CDR-LM reports tracking light appears burned out and not flashing on floating debris, despite electrical readings confirming the light is on.
    - Routine operational procedures documented include E-MOD readiness, CSM state vector updates, and lift-off time confirmation.
    - Crew performs roll, pitch, and yaw maneuvers to test the display register anomaly.

    Multimodal judge

    This document is a comprehensive collection of classified United States Air Force (USAF) and Army Air Forces (AAF) correspondence, memoranda, and intelligence reports from August to December 1947. It chronicles the immediate military response to the 'Flying Disc' phenomenon, marking the transition from initial public sightings to formalized intelligence collection under the project code name 'FLUKE.' The documents establish official policy to investigate these phenomena, assigning them 'Restricted' or 'Secret' classification. Key activities include the analysis of specific sighting reports, the dismissal of certain photographic evidence as technical defects, and the coordination of data between the Air Materiel Command (AMC) and the Chief of Staff. Crucially, Major General Curtis E. LeMay confirmed that no US research projects matched the observed characteristics, ruling out a domestic origin. Intelligence analysis linked the phenomenon to potential foreign origins, specifically German Horten tailless aircraft designs and Soviet production capabilities, while dismissing civilian theories involving Russian laboratories in Mexico due to lack of credible evidence.

    Key technical points:
    - The phenomenon was officially assessed by the Air Materiel Command as 'real and not visionary or fictitious,' with objects described as disc-shaped, metallic, and comparable in size to man-made aircraft.
    - Reported flight characteristics included extreme rates of climb, high maneuverability (particularly in roll), evasive actions when contacted, and speeds exceeding 300-500 knots, often in silence.
    - Objects were described as having a metallic surface, circular/elliptical shape, flat bottom, and slightly domed top, with propulsion anomalies including a blue-brown haze trail indicative of a liquid rocket engine with throttle capability.
    - The project was formally assigned the code name 'FLUKE' with a security classification of 'Restricted' or 'Secret,' mandating quarterly reports and data interchange between agencies.
    - Photographic evidence submitted by civilians was officially dismissed as artifacts caused by film, paper, or camera defects rather than actual aerial objects.
    - Intelligence analysis linked the phenomenon to German Horten tailless aircraft designs, noting Soviet production of jet-propelled variants (Horten VIII) and requesting technical data on these craft.
    - Major General Curtis E. LeMay confirmed that the Army Air Forces had no research projects matching the described characteristics, thereby ruling out US origin for the observed phenomena at that time.
    - Civilian theories, such as claims of Russian-operated laboratories in Central Mexico, were investigated but ultimately dismissed due to the source's lack of credibility.
    - The investigation involved coordination with technical laboratories and intelligence centers, including formal requests for FBI background investigations on witnesses to ensure reliability of reports.

    This document is a comprehensive collection of declassified official military correspondence, telegrams, and intelligence reports from the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF) and the British Air Ministry, dated between January and March 1945. It details the investigation into 'Night Phenomena,' widely known as 'Foo Fighters,' reported by Allied bomber and night fighter crews. The records document specific sightings of unidentified aerial objects exhibiting anomalous flight characteristics, such as hovering, rapid acceleration, and formation flying with aircraft. The correspondence reveals a formal chain of command response, including requests for photographic evidence, pilot debriefings, and referrals to the Scientific Investigation Division. While some reports attempt to attribute sightings to known German technology like the Ho 229, Me 262, or flak rockets, multiple high-level officials explicitly state that no satisfactory explanation could be provided at the time, acknowledging the phenomena as credible and distinct from mere imagination.

    Key technical points:
    - Official SHAEF and Air Ministry correspondence confirms the existence of 'Night Phenomena' (Foo Fighters) reports from units including the 415th Night Fighter Squadron and XII Tactical Air Command.
    - Specific sightings describe objects as glowing lights (red, green, amber, orange) or metallic cylinders, often hovering or moving with impossible speed and maneuverability.
    - Anomalous behaviors include objects flying in formation with Allied aircraft, remaining stationary at high altitudes, and performing rapid vertical maneuvers.
    - Photographic attempts by the 107th P.R. Squadron regarding 'long cylindrical objects' were deemed unsuccessful or unsubstantiated.
    - High-ranking officials (e.g., Air Commodore Grierson) acknowledged the lack of definitive explanations, referring cases to the Scientific Investigation Division and noting crew anxiety.
    - Alternative explanations proposed by the Air Ministry included German stealth aircraft (Ho 229), jet fighters (Me 262), and flak rockets, though these were often dismissed as insufficient for all reports.
    - Ground Control Intercept (GCI) data was used to verify that no known friendly or hostile aircraft were present during specific sightings, ruling out conventional misidentification.
    - The documents are marked SECRET and IMMEDIATE, indicating the high priority and sensitivity of the intelligence regarding these unidentified aerial phenomena.

    This document is a comprehensive, classified US Air Force intelligence compilation from mid-1947, aggregating official reports, sworn affidavits, and military correspondence regarding Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). The file primarily focuses on two major clusters of sightings: Birmingham, Alabama (June-July 1947) and Newfoundland/Harmon Field (July 1947), alongside other incidents in California, Nevada, and the North Sea. The content consists largely of typed official reports from the Army Air Forces Intelligence Office, Air Defense Command, and Counter Intelligence Corps, marked as Confidential, Restricted, or Secret. While the document includes some low-credibility newspaper clippings and theories attributing sightings to optical illusions (e.g., reflections on car vents), the core material comprises high-credibility witness testimonies from trained pilots, mechanics, and military personnel. These witnesses describe objects with anomalous flight characteristics, including extreme speeds (up to 6,000 mph), silent operation, lack of conventional propulsion signatures, and erratic maneuvers. Official assessments ruled out conventional aircraft, meteors, and weather phenomena, with some internal notes suggesting the objects were real and potentially part of an advanced domestic or foreign aviation project.

    Key technical points:
    - Sightings concentrated in Birmingham, AL (June 26-July 7, 1947) and Newfoundland/Harmon Field (July 9-23, 1947), with additional reports from California, Nevada, Maine, and the North Sea.
    - Objects described as disc-shaped, cylindrical, or egg-shaped with metallic/silvery surfaces, flat bottoms, and no visible wings, tails, or vertical fins.
    - Anomalous flight dynamics included instantaneous acceleration/deceleration, vertical hovering, high-velocity maneuvers (zig-zag, barrel rolls), and speeds estimated between 300 mph and 6,000 mph.
    - Consistent lack of acoustic signature (silent operation) and absence of conventional exhaust trails or contrails, despite high speeds and altitudes.
    - Photographic evidence was collected and analyzed, including Kodachrome film and motion picture footage, with professional photographers confirming light trails were not negative flaws.
    - Official military assessments ruled out conventional explanations such as tow targets, pilot balloons, radiosonic devices, meteors, searchlight reflections, and optical illusions caused by vehicle vibrations.
    - Witness credibility was formally assessed by military intelligence, with key witnesses (pilots, mechanics, astronomers) deemed reliable, stable, and not prone to fantasy.
    - Documents are marked with high security classifications (Confidential, Restricted, Secret) and include internal routing codes, indicating serious US Government investigation.
    - A recovered object from Danforth, Illinois, was forensically analyzed and determined to be a crude audio device (plaster of Paris body, 1910s microphone) rather than a propulsion system.
    - Internal intelligence assessments concluded the phenomenon was real and distinct from known aircraft, with some analysts suggesting potential domestic or foreign advanced aviation projects.

    This document is a typed official memorandum dated July 18, 1963, authored by Maxwell W. Hunter, II, of the Executive Office of the President/National Aeronautics and Space Council. Addressed to Robert F. Packard, it analyzes the 'Space Alien Race Question' in the context of BNSP Task I. The text bridges astrophysics, historical anomalies (such as Martian canals and lunar hot gases), and strategic policy. It evaluates the scientific probability of extraterrestrial life, the feasibility of Martian colonization of the Moon, and the theoretical physics of interstellar travel. The author categorizes potential alien threats based on their technological level (chemical, nuclear, or post-Einsteinian) and argues for immediate global unity and rapid technological assessment to avoid reactive panic. The document concludes with a critique of the US government's lack of preparedness, suggesting that current policy relies on science fiction rather than rational planning.

    Key technical points:
    - Originates from the Executive Office of the President/National Aeronautics and Space Council, referencing 'BNSP Task I'.
    - Analyzes the conflict between scientific consensus on the improbability of alien life and claims by 'flying saucer advocates'.
    - References historical anomalies including Martian 'Canali' and 'hot gasses' from lunar crater Alphonsus as potential evidence of intelligence.
    - Provides technical analysis of spaceflight physics, noting that travel from Mars to the Moon is energetically easier than to Earth due to lower escape velocity and lack of atmospheric braking.
    - Notes that probes like Lunik III and Mariner II found no evidence of lunar cities or mining camps, suggesting no active colonization.
    - Calculates that a civilization expanding at half the speed of light could colonize the galaxy in approximately 200,000 years.
    - Categorizes potential alien races into three types: chemical propulsion (tame), nuclear energy equivalent, and physics beyond Einstein (FTL).
    - Argues that FTL capability implies superior control over fundamental forces, necessitating rapid diplomatic negotiation.
    - Advocates for 'burying all Terrestrial hatchets' (global unity) as a precautionary measure against superior intelligence.
    - Criticizes the lack of serious government preparation, predicting policy will be driven by 'grand panic' rather than proactive planning.

    This document consists of two classified internal Air Force memoranda from July 1952, marked SECRET. The first page (July 26) addresses a request from Paul Nitze regarding the Air Force's official stance on 'flying saucers,' referencing an attached document from General Samford and noting a follow-up discussion. The second page (July 28) summarizes a consultation with General Samford, characterizing the phenomenon as an 'enigma.' It attributes the surge in sightings to improved radar and reporting systems rather than an actual increase in objects. The Air Force views the objects as a threat due to their frequency and the lack of understanding surrounding them, rather than confirmed hostile intent. Handwritten annotations on both pages confirm discussions with Nitze and note that the possibility of the objects being man-made was considered 'remote' and not worthy of serious consideration.

    Key technical points:
    - Internal USG (Air Force) communication regarding UAPs, marked SECRET.
    - Paul Nitze inquired about the official Air Force position on flying saucers.
    - General Samford characterized the phenomenon as a 'complete enigma.'
    - Increase in sightings attributed to improved radar, observation methods, and publicity, not an increase in actual events.
    - Air Force views objects as a threat due to lack of understanding and frequency, not confirmed hostile intent.

    This document is a comprehensive FBI case file (Case HQ-83894) spanning 1947 to 1951, detailing the Bureau's investigation into Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP). The file aggregates internal memoranda, teletype transmissions, and correspondence with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations (OSI) and the Department of Justice. It documents the FBI's procedural shift from initial curiosity to deferring jurisdiction to the Air Force, citing a lack of national security threat and attributing most sightings to misidentifications, hoaxes, or mass hysteria. Key investigations include the unverified Peter Cameron Jones sighting, the Stuart Adcock radar anomalies in Oak Ridge, and various high-profile incidents in Alaska, Arizona, and Illinois. The file also contains low-credibility civilian submissions, including speculative technical schematics from Lewis A. Ward and debunked photographic evidence, alongside official dismissals of extraterrestrial or Soviet origins.

    Key technical points:
    - Case identifiers: FBI Case #HQ-83894, FOIPA #993087.
    - Peter Cameron Jones Incident (Aug 1947): Reported a stationary, silver, top-shaped object with transparent windows and life forms; witness could not be verified, leading to suspicion of a prank.
    - Stuart Adcock Radar Anomalies (Mar 1950): Radar contacts at 40,000-100,000 ft in Oak Ridge, TN; dismissed due to unreliable surplus equipment and lack of corroboration by Naval Reserve radar.
    - Kodiak, Alaska Sightings (Jan 1950): Naval/Air Force reports of objects with radar interference, speeds >1000 MPH, and erratic maneuvers.
    - Phoenix, Arizona Incidents: June 1950 sighting identified as a high-altitude instrument balloon; separate June 30 teletype details a radar-tracked object intercepted by a B-29 at 30,000-35,000 ft.
    - OSI Intelligence Summaries (Jan 1950): Alleged crash in NM/AZ border involving an 18-foot metal ring and unanalyzable materials; descriptions of 5-foot tall entities; noted as sensationalized and low-credibility within official context.
    - Debunked Hoaxes: Elmira, NY (cardboard box with flare); Alice, TX (welded airplane wings); Louisville, KY (photographer Alf Hixenbaugh's film alleged to be faked); Jim Barden's 'crashed saucer' photo admitted as a drawing.
    - Inter-Agency Protocol: FBI officially ceased active UAP investigation, directing all inquiries to the Air Force OSI (specifically Captain Ralph C. Williams) and citing Bureau Bulletin 57.
    - Civilian Speculation: Lewis A. Ward submitted detailed schematics of Soviet centrifugal propulsion craft; deemed mentally abnormal and low-credibility by FBI.
    - Administrative Handling: Documents stamped 'EXEMPTED FOR FOIA', routed through FBI, DOJ, and Air Force channels; bulk low-value files destroyed by FBI San Antonio office.

    This document is a declassified US Department of State diplomatic cable from the US Embassy in Moscow, dated October 2001. It details a meeting between Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mamedov and Ambassador Vershbow regarding the conflict in the Kodori Gorge, Abkhazia. The core intelligence value lies in the analysis of Russian denials concerning military aircraft involvement in bombing raids. Russian officials, specifically MFA Georgia Desk Chief Tereoken, attributed reports of aerial activity to 'UFOs,' claiming a lack of technical capability to identify foreign planes. The US analysis interprets this 'UFO' narrative not as a genuine anomaly, but as a 'bold lie' or cover story designed to obscure Russian military involvement and maintain political pressure on Georgian and Chechen forces. The document includes standard administrative metadata, routing instructions, and classification markings.

    Key technical points:
    - Document is an official USG diplomatic cable (State Department) from US Embassy Moscow, declassified in 2026.
    - Russian officials denied involvement in bombing raids in the Kodori Gorge on October 28-29, 2001.
    - MFA official Tereoken attributed aerial sightings to 'UFOs' to explain the inability to identify aircraft origins.
    - US Intelligence analysis concludes the 'UFO' claim is a deliberate disinformation tactic ('bold lie') to hide Russian military activity.
    - Russian military equipment was being withdrawn via railway, with approximately 600 personnel remaining in Gudauta as 'guards'.
    - Russia refused outside observers for the withdrawal process, citing tense relations with Tbilisi.

    This document is an official US Department of State diplomatic cable (DIPNOT) dated November 12, 2004, originating from the US Embassy in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. The cable addresses the 'Union of UFOlogists' (UOU), a registered NGO in Turkmenistan that received US government funding. While the subject line links civil society with UFOs and the summary acknowledges historical Soviet interest in the phenomenon, the body of the report clarifies that the UOU has pivoted toward practical humanitarian and peace-building activities. The UOU President, Ovezberdy Muradov, confirmed that while local authorities consult him regarding mysterious airspace occurrences, there are no confirmed UFO sightings. The organization generates revenue through 'UFOlogy' courses and seminars due to public interest, but the document primarily serves as a status report on a grant-funded NGO, concluding with administrative details regarding printing equipment grants and standard declassification markings.

    Key technical points:
    - Document is an official US Department of State diplomatic cable (DIPNOT) marked UNCLASSIFIED and Released in Full.
    - Subject links 'Civil Society' with 'UFOs', confirming historical Soviet investigation efforts in the region.
    - The 'Union of UFOlogists' (UOU) is a registered NGO in Turkmenistan receiving US government grants ($8,532 and a proposed $30k for printing).
    - UOU President Ovezberdy Muradov stated that Turkmen military/government authorities consult him on mysterious airspace occurrences, but confirmed no actual UFO sightings.
    - The UOU generates revenue through for-fee 'UFOlogy' courses and well-attended seminars, capitalizing on local public interest.
    - The organization claims to have shifted focus from extraterrestrial study to practical humanitarian aid and small business registration.
    - Pages 4 and 5 contain administrative grant details and blank content with classification stamps, lacking specific UAP technical data.

    This document is a compiled official report detailing multiple UAP sightings in the Western U.S. observed by federal law enforcement special agents (USPER1-7). The incidents, occurring during dusk and pre-dawn hours, involve distinct phenomena including 'Orbs Launching Orbs,' a large hovering fiery orb, and a 'Transparent Kite.' Key anomalies include non-standard flight dynamics (zero resistance, lateral movement without orientation change), optical inconsistencies (transparency to NVGs while visible to the naked eye), and physical interactions with light beams. The report cites official AARO assessments regarding distance and size, lending significant weight to the observations.

    Key technical points:
    - Multiple independent federal law enforcement teams (USPER1-7) witnessed the events.
    - Phenomenon 1: A large orange 'mother' orb emits smaller red orbs in groups of 2-4; red orbs exhibit anomalous vertical and horizontal movement.
    - Phenomenon 2: A large (12-18m) fiery orange orb hovered with zero resistance and no sound; AARO estimated distance at ~1050 meters.
    - Phenomenon 3: An object described as a 'thin line' or 'triangular' shape moved laterally at 15-20mph without changing orientation and hovered.
    - Phenomenon 4: A 'Transparent Kite' object was visible to the naked eye but transparent to Night Vision Goggles (NVGs).
    - The 'Transparent Kite' physically blocked a spotlight beam at 50 yards, confirming physical presence despite optical transparency.
    - Events occurred in restricted zones or remote areas in the Western U.S. during low-light conditions (dusk/pre-dawn).
    - Official AARO measurements and assessments were applied to verify size and distance estimates.

    This classified official report details a joint US intelligence and federal partner operation in 2025 involving a helicopter mission (Call Sign 1) to investigate UAP sightings and debris in a mountainous region. The document chronicles a timeline of events where military aircraft and ground observers tracked multiple unidentified orbs exhibiting anomalous flight characteristics. Key observations include the objects hovering at ground level, moving at speeds exceeding the helicopter's capabilities, and performing erratic maneuvers such as flaring up and down in sequence. The orbs, described as oval-shaped and orange with a white/yellow center, were observed in various formations (triangle, horizontal) and appeared to break off to pursue other aircraft. The report notes that many sightings occurred outside the FLIR camera's field of view, relying on NVGs and naked eye confirmation, and highlights the objects' ability to defy conventional aerodynamics by appearing stationary despite high-speed movement.

    Key technical points:
    - Document is marked SECRET//NOFORN, indicating high-level US government classification.
    - Operation involved a coordinated search using helicopters equipped with FLIR and NVGs.
    - UAPs described as 'super-hot' orbs, oval-shaped, orange with white/yellow centers, emitting light in all directions.
    - Objects exhibited high-speed movement, rapid acceleration, and erratic maneuvers including hovering and flaring up/down in sequence.
    - Multiple orbs observed in triangle and horizontal formations; some appeared to break off to pursue separate military aircraft.
    - Objects physically broke into two or emerged from between orbs, defying conventional aerodynamics.
    - Sightings confirmed by both naked eye and Night Vision Goggles, with many occurring above the helicopter outside FLIR field of view.
    - Military aircraft were unable to match the speed of the observed objects.

    This document is a two-page FBI FD-302 interview summary from September/October 2023, detailing a UAP sighting by a contractor working on a special project with restricted air space. The incident began with a technical anomaly where a remote-controlled gate malfunctioned, failing to open on three attempts before succeeding on the fourth, despite no prior history of issues. Immediately following this, the witness observed a cigar-shaped, metallic bronze object hovering and moving slowly from east to west at an altitude of 500-3000 feet. The object, described as being the length of 2-3 Blackhawk helicopters, featured an intense diamond white light with a ring pointing southeast. It was completely silent, left no contrails, and vanished suddenly after 5-10 seconds. The witness, an experienced contractor familiar with military aircraft, confirmed the object was not a known drone or aircraft.

    Key technical points:
    - Document is an official FBI FD-302 interview summary dated September/October 2023.

The credibility score (0–10) reflects the critic's confidence that the judge's claims are supported by the extracted text. Documents with low scores either contain too little legible content to evaluate (heavily redacted, or pure imagery) or made claims the critic couldn't substantiate. Documents in the Flagged bucket above triggered the critic's "unsupported claim" filter and would need manual review before acceptance — useful both as a quality signal and as a queue for human attention.
