Finding Your Way Around

Disclosure Navigator is organized into seven main sections, all accessible from the navigation bar at the top of every page. Here's what each one does and when to use it.

The Navigation Bar

The top bar on every page shows seven section tabs: SOURCES, SEARCH, BRIEFINGS, EXPLORER, TIMELINE, GRAPH, and MEDIA. The currently active section is highlighted. SOURCES and MEDIA are open to all visitors; the other five require a free account.

SOURCES

The document library. Browse everything that has been ingested into the platform — declassified government files, AARO reports, congressional testimony, researcher interviews, books, and more. You can filter by source category, open individual documents to read them in full, and see which sources a given document comes from. No account needed.

SEARCH

Full-text and semantic search across the entire library. Type a name, program, location, or open-ended question and get back matching documents and entities. Search is the fastest way to locate specific source material. See How Library Search Works and Search Tips & Best Practices for guidance on getting the most out of it.

BRIEFINGS

Ask the AI a research question and receive a structured, sourced answer drawn entirely from the document library. Every claim in a briefing is backed by a specific document or entity in the library — nothing is pulled from the open internet. Briefings consume tokens. See What Are AI Briefings? for a full overview.

EXPLORER

Browse entity profiles for the people, organizations, programs, and locations that appear throughout the disclosure record. Each profile shows confirmed facts, connected events, related entities, and the source documents that support each data point. Explorer is a good starting point when you want to understand a specific figure or institution rather than a specific event.

TIMELINE

A chronological view of events across the entire UAP disclosure record. Use the decade era buttons to jump to a time period, apply the source tier filter to show only government-sourced events or include research sources, and click incident groups to expand their full event sequences. The Timeline is the right tool when you want historical context or a sense of how events developed over time.

GRAPH

A 3D force-directed visualization of how entities relate to one another. Load a case or entity to see its network, adjust scope and connection depth in the FILTER sidecar, and select multiple nodes to run an AI analysis on the cluster. The Graph reveals cross-case connections that are hard to see any other way.

MEDIA

Video content from the source library — documentary clips, congressional hearing footage, and researcher interview recordings. Browseable without an account. Media items are linked to the source documents and entities they relate to, so you can move from a video into the broader research context with a single click.

Account & Token Balance

When you are signed in, your account controls appear in the top-right corner of the navigation bar. Your current token balance is displayed there so you always know how much AI capacity you have remaining. Click the account area to go to your account page, where you can review your plan and purchase more tokens.

Breadcrumbs and Sub-Pages

On detail pages — an entity profile, a document view, a specific briefing — a breadcrumb trail appears just below the navigation bar showing where you are in the hierarchy. Click any breadcrumb segment to navigate back up. On smaller screens the breadcrumb collapses, but you can always use the browser back button or the top navigation tabs.

The Help Center

The ? icon in the navigation bar links to this Help Center from any page. Use it any time you want guidance on a specific feature.
