An unaffiliated, faithful archive of every official government UAP source.
What this is
realufo.org is a static, offline-first archive of every government UAP / UFO disclosure programme we could find — fifteen so far, from the U.S. Department of War's PURSUE release through France's GEIPAN to Uruguay's CRIDOVNI. Every record on this site is mirrored verbatim from an official source. Where the source is unreachable (Akamai blocks, 404, paywall), we link back through the Wayback Machine.
Counts above auto-update on every weekly sync. Live numbers always at /stats.html.
What this is not
- Not a government website. No part of realufo.org is operated by, affiliated with, endorsed by, or funded by any government. The project is run by independent volunteers.
- Not an interpretation layer. We do not characterise records as "true", "extraterrestrial", "explained" or "hoax" — that's the source agency's job. The site is presentation only.
- Not for sale. No ad networks, no tracking, no cookies, no email capture, no LLM-bait clickfunnels. Funding is by donation only (/donate.html).
- Not the only archive. See SCU, MUFON, NICAP, the Galileo Project, the Black Vault, and Vallée's catalogues for complementary primary-source work.
Editorial rules
We keep five rules, in this order:
- Faithful archive — content matches the official site verbatim.
- Eye-catching presentation — declassified-archive aesthetic, real evidence, no clickbait.
- Offline by default — every committed asset works without network.
- Mobile-first — 360 px viewport is canonical.
- Replicable —
./scripts/sync.shreproduces the full archive locally.
When two rules conflict: mobile-first beats desktop polish, and offline-first beats inline streaming. The full spec is in CLAUDE.md.
How it's built
Every page is a single self-contained HTML file. No JS framework, no build tool, no runtime. CSS and JS inlined per page. The full source including build scripts is on GitHub.
Hosting is GitHub Pages. Large payloads (videos, big PDFs) ship via GitHub Releases so the repo stays under 1 GB. A weekly GitHub Actions cron re-runs the scrapers and rebuilds every page.
We use exactly two third-party things at runtime: Umami for cookieless, log-only analytics, and Google Fonts (subsetted: Source Serif 4 + JetBrains Mono). No other CDNs, no trackers, no behavioural targeting.
