Anomaly Reports
Anomaly reports on TerraPulse are organized into the nuforc Eventdex — one slot per
report filed with the National UFO Reporting Center. Each slot is exactly that: a record
that someone reported seeing something, at a place and time. It is not a claim that
anything unexplained occurred. TerraPulse treats these reports as data — a measured log of
human observations — and cross-matches them against measured physical phenomena to see what
actually correlates. No estimates, no forecasts, and no assumptions about cause.
The dexes
The record lives in a single Eventdex. Each slot is one filed report — a data point about what was reported, not a verdict on it. Counts are live and grow as new reports are logged:
| Dex | Holds | Reports |
|---|---|---|
nuforc | Filed sighting reports | 80,324 |
That is 80,324 logged reports, a large enough population to test against measured data — earthquakes, solar activity, aircraft, weather — and ask whether any real signal lines up.
Provenance
Every entry traces to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), which has collected public sighting reports for decades. TerraPulse ingests the report as filed — the reported time, place, and description — and nothing more. The record is a log of the reporting event itself. The source is registered against the dex, so any record carries a direct line back to the originating report.
What’s in a record
Each report slot carries:
- When reported — the date and time the observer gave
- Where — the reported location, geocoded to latitude and longitude
- Shape & duration — the observer’s own description
- Text — the narrative as submitted
Explored in
These reports are the observational log behind several TerraPulse investigations — each one asking whether a reported anomaly tracks a measured phenomenon, and repeatedly finding it does not:
