PHYSICS, STORIES & THE RECORD · 2026.10

Run thephysicsyourself.

Simulations first. Stories and the strange record alongside. You decide what they mean.

The core of this site is a set of interactive simulations: real physics running live in your browser, from orbits and entanglement to starship engines, the search for life, the Navy tapes and the claims written into stone. Around them, a reading room: signed reviews of books and films that take big ideas seriously, and neutral source notes on the contested books behind the UAP record. And where the record turns strange, the UAP files are archived too, sourced and labelled, yours to judge.

LIVE The Tremonton Film Rangefinder TREMONTON 1952ONE ANGLE, EVERY DISTANCECONTESTED Three laboratories measured only angles on Newhouse's film. Every mile, mph and g the record gives the objects is an angle times an assumed distance. This bench makes the range a dial. 01Camera3 in lens, 16 fps, 16 mm, handheld02RateAbout 2.1°/s; three laboratories agree within brackets03Navy scale3,780 mph per mm per frame at 5 miles04The tick12.5 g per 0.1 mm step; 965 g is 77 steps05FilmLight stretch 386 frames; the 1952 light sequences end at 386 Late morning in July, seen from behind and below a family of four against a clear deep-blue sky that fills the frame, with no horizon and no ground in view: a man in a white short-sleeved shirt holding a small movie camera to his eye with the lens pointed steeply up; a woman in a floral dress shading her eyes with her raised left hand; a boy in a pale short-sleeved shirt; a girl in a brown print dress with white vertical stripes and a white collar; all four with their backs to the viewer, looking up; the open boot lid of a dark sedan rising in the lower left corner and the car's roof behind them; high above them a loose scatter of fourteen tiny bright white points; the sun is out of frame behind and to the right, the light hard on their right sides; no text anywhere.

The injuries are documented; the cause was never measured. 01Hair lossDay 18, dead centre of the 14 to 21 day window02Hypothesis300 Gy: 67 LD50s, survival in hours03Gamma bill5 Gy at 40 m in 5 min: about 7.4 megacuries04MicrowaveBurn in 3 s: 7 W/cm², buildable at tens of kW05Escort23 Chinooks: 480 tonnes, 1.4 companies A night scene on a two-lane Texas farm road through tall pines: a huge diamond-shaped craft hovering over the road ahead, dull metallic with a ring of small blue lights, venting a turbulent column of orange flame downward that floods the wet asphalt with hot light; a 1970s sedan stopped on the road with headlights on, its silhouette rimmed by the glare; far in the background a loose formation of tandem-rotor helicopters with red navigation lights against a cold starry sky.

LIVE A suburban backyard on a clear night seen from the lawn, looking up past the hip roof and brick chimney of a low brick house with one warm lit window: a wide sky full of stars with the Milky Way rising from behind the roof toward the upper left, and high above it a small loose chevron of about twenty soft bluish-green glowing points, its point downward toward the house; a wooden fence closes the yard on both sides, a leafy tree stands at the left, and beyond the right-hand fence a line of tall street lamps on curved arms gives a pale bluish-white light with a haze of city glow low on that horizon; no Moon, no people, no text. The Lubbock Thirty Degrees a Second BenchLUBBOCK 1951 · INST-95 LIVE A deep underground test chamber walled floor to ceiling in pale ceramic tiles laid in brick-pattern courses, black rubber matting across the front of the floor and bare wet concrete over most of it, two caged lamps on the ceiling throwing cold hard light; at the centre a bell-shaped object of dark riveted metal about three metres tall, with a small cap on the crown of its rounded dome, a straight waist and a flared skirt, seated on a low steel I-beam rig with four corner posts, a pale-blue glow in the rig's recess under the skirt reflected on the wet floor, four chains running from its sides to iron rings set in the floor; thick black cables from under its base across the floor to a plain socket in the right-hand wall; at the left an open wooden box lined in grey with a tall lead-grey bottle-shaped flask standing in it; a little mist near the floor; no people, no text. The Bell Frame-Drag BenchDIE GLOCKE, AS DESCRIBED · INST-94 LIVE Dawn on a rocky ridge in the Mojave Desert, looking out over a wide valley: in the left foreground a squat concrete vault the size of a chest freezer with a flat rust-brown steel lid, rust-streaked and plain with no lettering, beside a slim steel pole carrying a small solar panel, a whip antenna and one cable, among desert shrubs, dry grass and pale boulders; far below, a pale dry lakebed with faint cracks and track lines catches the first light, with low ranges across its far side, warm-lit on the left and dark blue to the right; the sky is cloudless, orange at the horizon rising through gold to deep blue overhead; high in the frame, very small, a dark aircraft with no contrail; no people, no text. The Skyquake BenchSOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 1991-93 · INST-93 LIVE A secure records vault, seen from the end of a brushed-steel table: a brass gooseneck desk lamp on the left throws a warm pool of light over a large sheet of cream graph paper, on which three hand-inked bands rise from the lower left corner, two pale blue ones, one climbing steeply to run flat along the top and one climbing gently to about three quarters of the height, and one amber band that stays low and ends about a quarter of the way up, each band with a solid line above and a dashed line below; a mechanical pencil lies on the sheet's right edge and a closed grey binder with a blank spine label rests on its far corner; behind, two long rows of closed grey filing cabinets with blank label holders lead to a heavy round vault door, closed, in cold blue light; no people, no text. The Bigot List Leak BenchBIGOT LIST 1947 · INST-92 LIVE Late morning over the open Pacific, seen from high above: a grey F-14D Tomcat with its wings part-swept flies away from the viewer toward the top of the picture, right of centre, in a gentle bank, the crew's shapes just visible inside the canopy; off its left wing and lower in the frame, a pale milky-teal egg-shaped patch lies just beneath the calm blue-green surface, brightest toward its centre and fading into the water at its edges, the sea's fine ripples continuing across it; the water darkens toward the left and carries a broad field of sun glitter toward the right; no horizon, no coast, no ships, no one outside the aircraft, no text. The Submerged Egg Buoyancy BenchW-291 2002 · INST-91 LIVE Late morning in July, seen from behind and below a family of four against a clear deep-blue sky that fills the frame, with no horizon and no ground in view: a man in a white short-sleeved shirt holding a small movie camera to his eye with the lens pointed steeply up; a woman in a floral dress shading her eyes with her raised left hand; a boy in a pale short-sleeved shirt; a girl in a brown print dress with white vertical stripes and a white collar; all four with their backs to the viewer, looking up; the open boot lid of a dark sedan rising in the lower left corner and the car's roof behind them; high above them a loose scatter of fourteen tiny bright white points; the sun is out of frame behind and to the right, the light hard on their right sides; no text anywhere.

T-10 The claim that it was suppressed, and the paper that would show it. Elizondo, Puthoff, Lazar and Grusch describe a stigma campaign, threats and compartmentalisation so tight that nothing can be checked. The claim explains why the rest of the record is missing, and that makes it the one claim that carries its own test. This page keeps the paper trail, and updates when a release adds to it. Read the full claim → T-09 Even the astronauts saw them. Then they said what it was. The files on this site hold the primary paperwork behind the most repeated sentence in the subject: Mercury and Gemini transcripts, Apollo debriefs, Skylab crew sessions, lunar frames and three shuttle photographs. In most of them the crew identifies the object within a few lines. This page is about the ones that are left. Read the full claim →
