Locations
Places where the unexplained recurs — Skin Walker Ranch, the Bermuda Triangle, Area 51, Göbekli Tepe. Geography as a primary witness.
Some locations attract more reports than others. This is observable. Whether it is causal — that the place itself produces the phenomenon — or selective — that the place is famous and so reports cluster — is the open question that defines this file.
Each location entry holds the documentary record of what has been reported there over time. Skin Walker Ranch in Utah has decades of multi-phenomenon reports across cryptid, UAP, and paranormal lines. Göbekli Tepe in Anatolia is structurally anomalous in the archaeological record. Area 51 is a US Air Force test site whose declassified history reaches back to U-2 development.
A case file may have a primary phenomenon and a secondary location, or — for locations like Skin Walker Ranch where the place itself is the subject — a primary location with multiple phenomenon tags.

LO-26002 // Area 51
Bob Lazar, S-4 and Element 115
In May and November 1989, Las Vegas television station KLAS-TV broadcast interviews by reporter George Knapp with a man — first disguised as "Dennis", later named as Robert "Bob" Lazar — who said he had worked at a facility he called S-4, near Area 51, reverse-engineering extraterrestrial craft powered by a stable superheavy element with atomic number 115. Element 115 was later synthesised for real and named moscovium, but the isotopes produced survive for tens of milliseconds, not indefinitely. The claim of a reverse-engineering programme rests on Lazar's testimony alone; the US Department of Defense reported in March 2024 that it found no empirical evidence for any such programme.

Las Vegas Backyard NHI Encounter
On the night of the thirtieth of April 2023 a bright fireball crossed the skies over the US Southwest and was independently logged by the American Meteor Society. About an hour later a Las Vegas family called 911 to report that eight- to ten-foot non-human beings were standing in their backyard. Las Vegas Metropolitan Police responded, found no physical evidence, and closed the case; the beings rest entirely on witness testimony and a later family cellphone video.

Los Alamos Green Fireballs and Project Twinkle
Between late 1948 and 1951, brilliant green fireballs were repeatedly observed on near-horizontal, silent paths over New Mexico's most sensitive nuclear installations. The sightings alarmed the Atomic Energy Commission, the FBI and the Air Force enough to convene a secret conference at Los Alamos on the sixteenth of February 1949 and to launch a dedicated observation study, Project Twinkle. Twinkle's final report of November 1951 closed the effort, with the official conclusion that the objects were likely natural in origin.

Göbekli Tepe
Pre-pottery Neolithic megalithic complex in southeastern Anatolia, dated to c. 9500 BCE — predating Stonehenge by ~6,000 years and contemporaneous with the end of the last Ice Age. Forces a reconsideration of the chronology of human civilisation.
