Entity & Case Library
Explore the Disclosure Record

The Explorer gives you four ways into the library: by topic (thematic groupings), by concept (cross-cutting research themes), by case (specific incidents), or by entity (the people, organizations, programs, and locations that appear across the record). Everything connects — cases belong to topics, entities appear in cases, and every link traces back to a primary source document.

Start here Topics
Contain Cases
Broken into Threads
Made of Events
Topics Thematic Groupings Broad research areas that pull related cases together — e.g., Cold War encounters, congressional hearings, crash retrievals.
Concepts Cross-Cutting Research Themes 380 specific research themes derived from investigation threads — e.g., "Whistleblower Testimonies," "Crash Retrieval Programs." Each concept links to the threads, entities, and documents that discuss it.
Cases Specific Incidents A named event or investigation with its own timeline -- Roswell, the USS Nimitz encounter, the AATIP program. Cases contain threads.
Threads Event Sequences A chronological chain of events within a case, telling one part of the story in order from first documented occurrence to resolution.
Events Documented Occurrences Individual sightings, testimonies, document releases, or decisions. Every event links to at least one source document in the library.
