PHYSICS, STORIES & THE RECORD · 2026.11

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 Bell Frame-Drag Bench DIE GLOCKE, AS DESCRIBEDTWO DRUMS, PRICEDCONTESTED Two counter-rotating drums of mercury, as Jorjani and the testimony Cook relays describe them, priced by general relativity against the Earth's own frame dragging that Gravity Probe B measured. 01The drag1.5 × 10⁻²² rad/s on the axis 2 m away02The ruler3.8 × 10⁷ times below Gravity Probe B03The rim628 m/s, 427 MPa on its wall04The drums3,670 and 2,713 kg of mercury, ±10,000 rpm05The curveA timelike curve only beyond 143 km of radius 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 bench runs both wavefronts at the speed of light. 01The delay16 min 42 s possible only 14 May to 3 June02The shout2.5×10¹⁵ W: Type 0.94, ten orders short03The gainA hundred million: a 103 m dish at 12 GHz04The oven0.1 W/cm² at 500 km needs a 117 m dish05The replyThe eight-year reply is eight months early Autumn dusk on a bare mountain summit in the Greater Khingan range: a huge grey steel parabolic dish on a squat concrete pedestal is tilted toward the west, where a deep red sun sits a few degrees above layered blue-violet ridges under a sky banded orange to violet with thin cirrus; golden larch forest covers the slopes below; behind the dish stand low concrete barracks with dark windows, a bare flagpole, a lattice mast and cable trays on posts; in the right foreground a young woman in a padded green army jacket sits on the cliff edge with her back to the camera, facing the sun, a white enamel bowl with a small red mark beside her; long shadows fall toward the camera; no text anywhere. LIU 2008 Peak: Greater KhinganTransmitter: 25 MWCeiling: twice Earth to Sun TYPE 0.94 LIVE The Submerged Egg Buoyancy Bench W-291 2002TWO EXITS FROM ONE EGGCONTESTED A pilot saw a white or opaque egg hold still under the sea for about five minutes. Held by its own density it weighs what a Typhoon-class submarine displaces; held by force it needs 5.05 × 10⁸ N. The bench prices both exits. 01Sighting40 × 60 m by eye, 20 to 50 ft down02Neutral mass51,503 t, a Typhoon-class displacement03Held down5.05 × 10⁸ N: a 17.7 GW jet or a 1.13 m cable04DriftA metre in five minutes needs a match of 1.1e-505The eyeSecchi depth 18 to 24 m there, five weeks later 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.

LIVE A dark navy cloth cap with a curved bill and a plain yellow and black emblem rests on a scuffed dark wooden laboratory bench, lit by one warm lamp low to the front left and out of frame: the front edge of the bill glows as a warm line from its tip along most of its length and the emblem is lit, while the bill's top and the crown stay in shadow; the cloth across the near half of the bill's top and around the emblem is singed brown and the emblem is darkened at one side; a raised fold of cloth stands beside the emblem; a thin pencilled circle rings a tiny dark pinhole on the bill; the cap's long shadow falls to the right across the bench; no person, no text. The Scorched Cap BenchSCORCHED CAP · INST-103 LIVE A flat high-desert floor at dusk seen from eye height, dry scrub and dark stones scattered across it; a low rocky crest runs across the frame with a slender rock pinnacle standing on it right of centre, and just above the crest, left of the pinnacle, a small orange disc of light glows against the dark face of a long hill rising behind; three small red points sit level with it in a row to the right of the pinnacle; a violet-blue twilight sky, warmer low on the left, with a few faint stars; no Moon, no people, no vehicle, no text. The Orbs Launching Orbs BenchORBS LAUNCHING ORBS · INST-102 LIVE A bare plain of dark grey sand and stones at dawn under a pale blue-grey sky, palest around the gold and orange suns; three suns, all discs: a pale-gold disc at the centre behind a thin wire, the largest, a smaller orange disc low on the left between the masts just above the horizon, and a small bright red disc high on the right; two slender lattice masts rising to the top of the frame with a sagging cable between their tops and a streamlined metal bob hanging low between them; the masts and the bob throw long shadows across the ground toward the viewer; no people, no animals, no text. The Trisolaris BenchTRISOLARIS · INST-101 LIVE A flat desert at night under a sky dense with stars, the Milky Way rising as a pale band behind a dark matte sphere that hangs in the upper middle of the frame; the sphere's upper right edge faintly lit by starlight, the stars around it drawn into thin concentric arcs that crowd and brighten just outside its rim, no complete ring and nothing inside the disc; low flat-topped mesas on the horizon, dark sand with scattered stones; no people, no animals, no text. The Metric Appearance BenchMETRIC APPEARANCE · INST-100 LIVE A suburban backyard on a moonlit night seen from the lawn: a huge flat black triangle hangs low over the yard, its whole outline inside the frame with night sky around it and above its tip at the top centre, a soft yellowish light under the tip and one at each far corner just above the tree tops, one large bluish-white light at the centre of its underside and faint star speckles on the far half of its black belly; the lawn lies dark in the craft's shadow, and a pale moonlit band of sky and field shows under its far edge beyond the trees; at the left the corner of a brick house with one lit window, a closed door with a porch lamp beside it and a step; a dome tent on the grass glowing from inside; a low white post-and-rail fence along the right; a row of tall dark pines across the far end; stars in the sky, no Moon in frame, no people, no animals, no text. The Silent Hover BenchSILENT HOVER · INST-99 LIVE The Gaillard Cut under a low sun, from high on one bank: a black tanker with a white superstructure aft sails toward the viewer, its bow entering a dense band of fine horizontal lines strung low across the channel between two plain steel pillars, one standing on the shore of each bank; the lines cross the hull and the house; a cliff of bare yellow earth on one bank, forest on the crests and green hills beyond.

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 →
