UFO & UAP Photo and Video Case Files

Public AlienBox Earth Record dossiers whose structured evidence fields reference photographs, images, film, or video. Media presence is context only; original source pixels and provenance remain authoritative and derivatives never replace them.

Fred // before you disappear into this folderPixels are evidence of pixels. Occasionally they are evidence of more. This is why the zoom button is not on the review board.
Fred chose the filing path // inclusion never changes an evidence grade // every listed item is already a public Earth Record dossier // Lore is never used to qualify or rank a case
FRED // YOUR QUESTIONABLE GUIDE I know where the folders are. This should not be confused with approval of what you do after opening them.

What this AlienBox collection actually looks like

257 of 1,023 public dossiers fall into this collection (25.1%). 251 record a published resolution, 183 include structured sensor context, and 33 record multiple witnesses or an explicit plural-witness marker. These are archive characteristics, not evidence grades.
