UAP Analyst
Review real declassified military UAP cases — FLIR footage, radar tracks, pilot reports — and issue your official civilian classification. Our AI military analyst reviews your picks.
Guide — classify eight famous military UAP cases and earn a clearance level
A short game based on publicly reported UAP incidents: read the case file, pick a classification, get a deadpan assessment and see how your picks compare.Press ▶ Begin Analysis. You get the same eight cases in a fixed order, from the 2004 Tic-Tac to the Luminous Orbs; the progress dots show Case n of 8.
Each case shows the incident date, location, sensor platform, altitude or track, a thermal-style image drawn by the page, a short description and the status badge: UNRESOLVED or UNDER INVESTIGATION.
Pick one of five: 🛸 Extraterrestrial craft, 🎈 Balloon / weather object, 🚁 Known aircraft, 🌀 Sensor artifact / glitch or 🤷 Genuinely unresolved. The buttons lock after your pick.
After a short PROCESSING pause, a pre-written assessment for your pick types out, followed by bars showing how “analysts” classified the case. Press Next Case → to continue.
After case 8, press View Clearance Level → for your level (1–5), your number of “unresolved” picks and ET picks, and a list of all your choices. Use 📋 Copy share text or ↺ Analyse again.

UAP cases, explained
UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) is the US government's term for what used to be called UFOs. This game condenses eight widely reported military cases into short case files; the images are stylised drawings, and the official sources linked below are the place for the real footage and reports.
Are these real UAP cases?
They are based on publicly reported incidents, such as the Tic-Tac encounter off San Diego (2004), the Gimbal and GoFast videos (2015), the 2019 ocean sphere, the "Jellyfish" and the metallic orbs. The case files are condensed and dramatised for the game, and some details follow unofficial accounts rather than official findings, so treat them as a starting point, not a record. The images are thermal-style drawings made by the page, not the real footage; the officially released videos are on the AARO website and the Navy FOIA reading room.
What is the military analyst doing?
Nothing live: each case has a pre-written intelligence assessment for every one of the five classifications, forty in total, and no AI model is called. They're dry, bureaucratic, case-specific and slightly unnerving, never confirming or denying anything. The short "PROCESSING" pause and the typing effect are purely for atmosphere.
What is the Analyst Clearance Level?
Each pick earns points: 0 for balloon or known aircraft, 1 for sensor artifact, 2 for genuinely unresolved and 3 for extraterrestrial, for a maximum of 24 over the eight cases. Your share of that maximum sets the level, from 1 (Skeptic Civilian, 10% or less) to 5 (Area 51 Intern, above 80%). Picking "unresolved" on every case, which matches the cases' official status, scores 67% and lands on level 4, Senior Intelligence Asset. The results screen also counts how many of your picks were "unresolved".
Are the crowd statistics real?
No. Each case starts from fixed baseline numbers written into the page, and every pick you make is added to them in your browser's localStorage, so the bars only ever include your own votes on this device. Your picks are not sent to any server; the site only uses cookieless Simple Analytics page-view counting.
Where can I see the actual declassified UAP footage?
The Department of Defense officially released the three Navy videos known as FLIR (the Tic-Tac), Gimbal and GoFast in April 2020. They are on the Navy FOIA reading room and the AARO website, which also publishes other cleared videos and its reports. The July 2023 House Oversight hearing with David Grusch, Ryan Graves and David Fravor can be watched on C-SPAN.
What does AARO actually say about these cases?
The All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) publishes reports on the cases it receives. Most cases it resolves turn out to be ordinary objects such as balloons, birds, drones or satellites, and a small share remain unexplained for lack of data. Its 2024 historical report found no evidence that any UAP sighting involved extraterrestrial technology. Some famous videos have been analysed in detail: NASA's independent UAP study team (2023) calculated that the GoFast object was flying at about 13,000 feet at roughly 40 mph, not skimming the sea at high speed.
What is the Jellyfish UAP?
The "Jellyfish" is a short infrared video of a glowing, irregular object with trailing tendrils, made public in January 2024 by filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who said US military sensors recorded it over Iraq in 2018. Accounts of the object entering and leaving water come from those unofficial sources and have not been confirmed by the Pentagon.
