When this site gets something wrong, the fix is logged here, in public, with a date. A site that hides its corrections is not more reliable, only quieter about its mistakes.

The Younger Dryas Impact Ledger summary said that ages measured directly on the layer leave four of ten sites touching the claimed window. Against the bench's own site table and Kennett et al. 2015's 95% window, eleven sites carry a direct age and five of them overlap; four of ten is what the precision knob gives once Melrose's ±1,846 years drops off the column. English and Chinese had the two counts swapped. Both now read five of eleven, and both counts are checked by the bench's tune script.
The Chinese introduction to the Westall geometry bench said the Australian file series that would place the balloon was destroyed after 1966. The English page and the bench both say 1996; the digits had been transposed. Corrected.
The Spin Drive ledger priced the tank's mass ratio of 21 against the 0.92 c commute's fare of 24 as two per cent under. That figure belongs to a different comparison: the cruise the tank buys, 0.909 c, is 1.2% under 0.92 c. As a fare it is 12% under, which is what the English claim row already said and the card and both Chinese passages now say. One inspector card in the same instrument put the schedule's total rapidity at 6.02; everywhere else, and in the bench, it is 6.03.
The English panels of the Hollow Moon ledger and the Mars Xenon ledger misstated their own benches' constants: the 620 Ma tidal rhythmites put the Moon at 58.16 Earth radii and the panel said 58.3 (the Chinese panel said 58.2), and ALH84001's ¹²⁹Xe/¹³²Xe ratio is 2.52 in the data while the English button said about 2.4 (the Chinese button said about 2.5). Both corrected, and both tune scripts now check the numbers on the panels.
Every Files briefing's source list printed the AARO UAP Records address as aaro.mil/UAP-Records. That hostname has no DNS record at all, so typing it in reaches nothing; the address that resolves is www.aaro.mil/UAP-Records. Corrected sitewide.
On the Chinese pages for the Avrocar, the Casimir effect, electrogravitics, exoplanet imaging, radiation dose and technosignature spectroscopy, the verdict chips in the claims table were empty and all took the first style, which reads as a green SETTLED, including claims the English page marks DID NOT SURVIVE, such as "the Avrocar explains the flying saucer reports". The Chinese tables now carry the English verdicts, and a new build check stops the build when the two disagree.
The Technosignature Spectroscopy bench gave the same gap two contradictory sizes: chapter 6 put oxygen eight orders of magnitude below the halocarbons, and chapter 9 said each halocarbon molecule absorbs about a million times more strongly than oxygen, which is six. The ladder the bench solves from Earth's own limb puts the halocarbons near 1.3×10⁻¹⁸ cm² against oxygen near 7×10⁻²⁶ cm², about seven orders of magnitude apart. Both sentences now say about seven orders of magnitude and about ten million times, the same claim is corrected on the intro page, the catalogue card and the share summary, and the calibration script now pins both wordings to what the bench returns.
The Near Light Speed sky bench gave a star's brightness as the fourth power of the Doppler factor. Surface brightness does rise as the fourth power, but a star is unresolved: its solid angle shrinks as the second power at the same time, and the flux you receive keeps only the square. The readouts, the prose, the story and both renderers now carry the square: the forward sky at 0.9 c reads ×19 rather than ×361, and the tens of thousands claimed for 0.99 c is about two hundred. On the same instrument the warp bubble preset showed an undistorted sky and a time-dilation toll at once; gamma now comes from the optical speed, which is what the copy describes.
The Drake Equation bench described its Green Bank 1961 preset as putting the nearest neighbour near a thousand light-years, with a round trip of two thousand years. The panel prints 830 light-years and 1,659 years, so the text now says about eight hundred light-years and near seventeen hundred. The same bench called our own radio bubble a fifth of a pixel at true scale; at the instrument's opening camera it is about two pixels, corrected everywhere. The Sun's seat moves from two-thirds of the way out an arm to just past halfway, which is the 53 per cent the bench models. The 13,000 to 33,000 light-year habitable annulus was credited to Lineweaver and colleagues 2004, who published the 7 to 9 kiloparsec zone, about 22,800 to 29,400 light-years; the text now says the modelled band is wider and contains theirs.
The Double Slit bench called a C60 molecule a thousand times heavier than an electron, where it is about 1.3 million. Raising the which-path detector was described as collapsing the stripes into two bands; in the far field one single-slit envelope remains, and the Chinese text already said the interference disappears. The baseball line put the fringe spacing 20 orders of magnitude below an atomic nucleus, which is the figure for an atom: one place now reads 15 orders below a nucleus, the other 20 orders finer than an atom.
The Light Bending bench priced a solar mass in an Earth-sized ball at about 85 arcseconds in its lens ladder, where 4GM/c²b gives about 191; the 85 belongs to a different white dwarf, near 0.6 solar masses at a radius of 8,800 kilometres. Jupiter's line moves from about 0.017 arcseconds to about 0.016. The story said Einstein's 1911 equivalence-principle calculation "got the same number: 0.87 arcseconds"; that paper published 0.83 with the constants of the day, so the sentence now says only that he arrived at the same Newtonian half.
The c-Wall ledger said its first tank of fuel buys 0.79 c and that by the tenth you are crawling through the ninth decimal of c. On the bench's own formula an equal-energy first tank buys 0.866 c, and the tenth leaves you at 0.996, the third decimal; the ninth decimal would take more than twenty thousand tanks. The same instrument said a year of ship time under one gravity carries you past 0.9 c, where it reaches 0.775 c: 0.9 c takes 1.4 years of ship time and 0.99 c takes 2.6. Both locales, the story chapters and the methods document now carry the bench's figures, and the step from 0.5 c to 0.9 c, called roughly eight times the first step, is roughly seven (exactly 7.37).
The Dyson swarm ledger described the swarm crossing one per cent coverage as some 10⁵ times humanity's consumption. One per cent of the Sun's luminosity is 3.83×10²⁴ W, which against the bench's own 18.5 TW is about 2.1×10¹¹ times; run the bench's doubling law to year 28 and it stands at 1.9 per cent and about 3.9×10¹¹ times. The line now says 4×10¹¹ and names the 1.9 per cent it stops at. The waste-heat evidence row read 148 to 633 K, but 633 K is the one-faced shell at Mercury's orbit, a figure no readout prints; it now reads 148 to 604 K, peaking at 4.8 to 20 microns, which is what the dial can reach. The coverage slider's caption had no time base and now names the minute it takes.
The Arecibo Message bench carried four slips. The fifty-thousand-year round trip was called longer than Homo sapiens has existed, where it is about a sixth of it. The 52 light-year wavefront was called past every star anyone has photographed a planet around, where Beta Pictoris and others lie beyond it. Proxima was called a quarter of the way to the read range, where it is 4.6 per cent. And the per-bit signal to noise was called one ten-thousandth of what reading needs, which is its absolute value: against the threshold of ten the shortfall is about seventy-three thousand.
The Render Engine bench said its scene holds about twelve thousand triangles while the counter prints 23,449. That total comes from a fixed-seed generator and does not vary. The intro now says about 23,000, and the paragraph that promises the counts stay honest prints the exact 23,449.
The Fermi Paradox map said, in both languages and everywhere it is mentioned, that a 0.1c wave fills the galaxy in about twenty million years. On Hart's own settings the bench divides the distance to its farthest star by the front speed and returns 14.2 million years, and the figures downstream were wrong with it: 0.15% of the galaxy's age is 0.10%, one part in seven hundred is one part in a thousand, the crawl scenario is five times slower and not thirty, the wave needs about 140 times the light-crossing time and not 200, and ten thousand years of refit fills the disk in under 150 million years, not 100. The same panels said the map draws twenty-two hundred stars, each standing for 10⁸ real ones; it draws sixty-eight thousand, each standing for about three million.
The Raptor and Merlin bench printed Merlin's sea-level thrust to weight as 184 to 1 in its comparison blocks and accuracy tables, beside a readout computing 183. 845 kN over 470 kg is 183.3. The published 184 stays in the sourced-data table that says it is published.
The Wow! signal bench said a noiseless Gaussian through the beam floors to 3-13-27-30-19-6. Running the shipped sampler with the recorded residuals zeroed gives 3-13-26-29-19-7. It also said that at the slider's lowest setting the event is a "5" nobody circles, where the sampler prints a 4 there. Two things on the printout were drawn or dated wrongly: the hydrogen-line marker sat one whole channel, 10 kHz, below the frequency its own labels give, and the sidereal time column was based so that the row carrying the U read 19:23:36, where the same sheet prints the right ascension as 19h25m31s. Both now come from the labels beside them.
The warp energy ledger put the laboratory Casimir floor about sixty orders of magnitude below a warp bill. Sixty is the distance to Van Den Broeck's few solar masses; to White's probe-mass figure it is thirty-three. The same cards called Van Den Broeck's reduction a billion-fold, where the ladder makes it thirty-three orders of magnitude, and priced White's bubble at about 500 kg where the readout beside it prints 722, the mass of Voyager. The copy invited the reader to push the estimate off the top of the ladder; the ladder ends two decades above anything the sliders reach, so nothing ever ran off it.
The Tabby's Star bench called its planet Jupiter-sized and its dip about one per cent, while the panel beside it printed 1.5% and the disk it flew was 1.66 times Jupiter's width. The planet is now a real Jupiter, and the star's disk is sampled at 6,400 points instead of 1,600 so the readout resolves it: the dip is 0.5%, and the deepest event on the record is about forty times that, not twenty. Three other lines went with it. The Dyson swarm's dip was said to follow its covering fraction one for one, where it runs between 0.8 and 1.9 times it. The occulter needed for the deepest dip was called roughly the star's own width, where the bench inverts to 43% of it. And the shallow-dip card named four of the six dips that route to it.
The 'Oumuamua bench quoted the interstellar approach speed as 26.3 km/s in eighteen places, and the perihelion speed as 87.7 km/s. Those belong to the discovery-paper orbit. The bench integrates the JPL solution it names, and on those elements the speeds are 26.4 and 87.4 km/s, which is what its own readouts print. Both figures now follow the orbit the instrument actually flies.
The gravitational-wave bench said two detectors 3,000 km apart caught the same seven-millisecond wiggle. Seven milliseconds is the gap between the two arrivals; the signal sweeps for about a fifth of a second, which the rest of the copy has right. The same panel listed the GW150914 and GW170817 figures as exact, where GW170817 is drawn at GW150914's peak strain so the neutron-star pattern stays readable at the same magnification, and its real strain is under a tenth of that. The panel now says so. Both languages also said the neutron stars never ring down here while the code rang them down at the merger frequency; the code was changed, not the sentence.
The LGM-1 bench lists what its drawing exaggerates and ended that list by saying the periods are real. The planet test wobbles the period at 0.28 of light speed, about 2,800 times what Earth's orbit does to a signal. The list now says so.

A full audit of the site found the errors below. Each was checked against its primary source before it was corrected.
Since June, a group of briefings had been showing internal editing notes in place of published text. Source descriptions opened with a note saying they were unchanged, several reference lists and one section of the Release 01 overview were replaced by the same kind of note, and the Chinese title of the Apollo 11 briefing carried an editing instruction. The notes are gone and the missing lists and section are restored. Two quotations of AARO's descriptions, for PR051 and PR072, now match AARO's catalogue wording. The Release 01 overview and the PURSUE wiki entry said the release holds 28 infrared clips; it holds 27 short video clips, most of them infrared.
The Mexico cable briefing dated the State Department cable 16 September 2003 in its source box. The cable's header reads 16 September 2023; the 2003 comes from the war.gov listing. Corrected, and the note on the date now says where each year comes from.
The Special Report No. 14 briefing gave the unknowns among object sightings as 474, or 21.5 per cent. In the report's Figure 2, 474 is the aircraft count. Unknowns on that basis are 434, or 19.7 per cent, and 21.5 per cent is the unknown share of all 3,201 sightings. Corrected in the briefing and the wiki entry.
The Apollo 11 briefing and the astronauts topic page credited lines from the crew debriefing to the wrong astronauts. "The first unusual thing" and "we weren't sure but what it might be the S-IVB" are Buzz Aldrin's, not Michael Collins's, including under a From the record quotation. The hollow cylinder and the open-book shape are Collins's, not Aldrin's. The L shape is Aldrin's, and "Like an open suitcase" is Neil Armstrong's. The briefing also said both volumes of the debriefing are hosted at war.gov; the release hosts an excerpt. Corrected from the transcript pages.
The Apollo 17 briefing joined words from two astronauts into one quotation credited to the lunar module pilot. The bright particles drifting by were described by the command module pilot; the Fourth of July line is the lunar module pilot's. It also gave the lunar module pilot the commander's description of the object's flashing rhythm. Both corrected, and the S-IVB line is now quoted as transcribed.
The mission-report briefing quoted DOW-UAP-D28 as saying "IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME WHETHER AN UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT [flew] THROUGH THE AIRCRAFT". The report contains no such sentence. The quotation joined two separate sentences, one about an object that flew through the aircraft's sensors and one about whether an object detached from the primary UAP. The briefing also said the location was redacted; the report prints Ayn al Asad Air Base. Both corrected, and the D25 and D74 descriptions now include what those reports record: a tail or probe, an altitude that rose and fell, and a speed of about 424 knots held for at least seven minutes.
The briefings on the four April 2021 clips, the instant-acceleration clip, the three CENTCOM clips from before the 2020 wave, the two longest Release 01 clips and the Western Pacific clips, and the April 2021 wiki entry, described footage in ways AARO's own timecoded descriptions do not support. They gave about twenty minutes of tracking where AARO records about nine and a half, called a closing segment no new footage where AARO records original-resolution footage and a locked reticle, called frames mostly empty where AARO records tracking of several objects, and called tracking unbroken where AARO records gaps. The passages now report what AARO's descriptions record. The Western Pacific briefing also closed by calling the set authentic primary footage, although AARO states one clip was digitally altered; that line has been rewritten. The long-clips briefing now gives the pair's length as about ten minutes rather than almost ten, since together they run just over.
The suppression topic page said Jimmy Carter had repeatedly said in public since 1976 that he asked the CIA for a UFO briefing and was refused. No such statement by Carter was found. Asked about that story on the podcast The Skeptics' Guide to the Universe in July 2007, he said "No" and "it's not true". The page now attributes the story to those who tell it, Daniel Sheehan and Grant Cameron, and gives Carter's answer. The same page said the Pentagon's 2024 historical report calls Kona Blue unapproved because there was no material to study. The report says the programme was never approved and its supporters never provided evidence, and AARO's separate memo adds that it never received materials or funding. Corrected.
The Future Visions source note quoted AARO's Kona Blue memo as rejecting the programme for "insufficient justification and lack of credible supporting information", and dated the memo December 2024. The memo cites "the adequacy of justification for the program, and sufficiency of information central to the proposal development", carries no date, and was released on 16 April 2024. A sentence the note credited to AARO's 2024 historical report came from the memo. Quotations from that report in the Imminent source note and on the wiki entries for the report and the Legacy Program had also been shortened or reworded. All now match the documents word for word.
The Navy tapes topic page, the Gimbal and GoFast instrument pages and the instruments themselves quoted the Department of Defense's 27 April 2020 statement as releasing the videos "to clear up any misconceptions about whether the footage was real". The statement reads "to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos". Corrected everywhere it appears.
The Earth's Shifting Crust instrument stated comparisons that did not match its own numbers. It called the claimed displacement a million times faster than measured polar motion, where its figures give about 6,700 times. It said the demanded stress exceeds rock strength ten thousand times over, where the ratio is about 14. It gave the kindest setting's shortfall as about 15,000, where it is about 7,700, and it put the point where the stress falls below rock strength at tens of millions of years, where its figures give about 70,000. The underlying calculations were right. The text now uses the computed ratios, and the instrument's checks assert each one.
JAL 1628: The Star Bench said its 30-degree turn time matches the recorded 360-degree turn to the second, and called the turn circle 6.3 miles wide. Bruce Maccabee's chronology of the tape has the aircraft three-quarters of the way round at 17:42:04, 4 minutes 49 seconds after the turn began, which works out to about 6.4 minutes for a full circle and a bank of about 23 to 25 degrees. The 6.3 figure is the radius in nautical miles at a 30-degree bank, about 12.6 across. Corrected.
About, Methodology, the 404 page and the line at the top of every briefing, along with the Release 01 overview, the Apollo 11 briefing and the astronauts topic page, said the briefings link to the original documents. None of them did. Each briefing names where its original is held, in the PURSUE release at war.gov. The wording now says that.
The Evidence Standards page said the simulations carry only three status labels, Established, Theoretical and Phenomenon, while most benches used other labels and also printed T1 to T4 codes that meant something different from the briefings' evidence tiers. The Methodology page said every instrument carries an evidence tier. The benches now show only a status word, and both pages describe them as they are.
The bismuth topic page and several wiki entries presented Charles Buhler's thrust experiments as NASA work, "an active NASA experiment" measuring up to 50 millinewtons at 400 volts. Buhler has told The Debrief the work is in no way affiliated with NASA or the U.S. government; it runs through his own company, Exodus Propulsion Technologies, and the best stacked result he gave that outlet was about 10 millinewtons. On American Alchemy in 2026 he gave about 50 millinewtons with thrusters stacked and about 400 volts as separate statements, and the page had dated that interview 2024. The page also dated To The Stars Academy's purchase of the bismuth samples to 2017; the purchase agreement is dated 15 July 2019. Corrected on the topic page and on the Charles Buhler and related wiki entries.
The Arecibo Message instrument page and the instrument itself called Sir Martin Ryle a past president of the International Astronomical Union. He never held that office. The page's other two titles for him, Astronomer Royal and Nobel laureate, are right. Corrected.
The Astrophage Budget and The Mothership Ledger instrument pages gave the wrong title for the work the Mothership Ledger prices. It is Inio Asano's Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction; the English page called it They Are Already Here, and the Chinese pages used two other wrong titles. Several pages also cited the Mothership Ledger as INST-64; it is INST-59. Corrected.
5 September 2026
The Imminent source note carried three factual misstatements on the day it went live, since corrected. First, it said the site's Tic Tac Kinematics bench "prices the 2004 descent the book quotes"; the bench prices the radar operator's version, 28,000 feet in 0.78 seconds, while the book quotes the 80,000-to-50-foot version, and the two are different reported figures, now stated separately. Second, it attributed the parallax reading to the Gimbal bench; that reading belongs to the GoFast bench, and the Gimbal bench asks whether the object or the camera is rotating. Third, it called the December 1969 termination of Project Blue Book "the one in the Air Force's own record", which overstated the case: the Air Force announced the termination on 17 December 1969 and the project's closure and records transfer are usually dated January 1970, and the note now gives both.
11 June 2026
Wiki pages on Townsend Brown attributed a recollection about a bismuth isotope to "Lewis Whitten", said to have told the American Institute of Physics. Corrected: the physicist is Louis Witten, first researcher hired at Martin's RIAS, and the recollection is from his 17 March 2011 American Institute of Physics oral-history interview.
11 June 2026
The Chinese-language pages rendered physicist Ning Li's name as 宁莉, treating Ning as the surname. Corrected to 李宁 (Li is the family name). Several Chinese renderings were also unified across the wiki to match the rest of the site (埃利桑多, 法瑞沃, and "Gimbal" left untranslated in place of the previous 陀螺仪事件, which named the wrong device).
21 May 2026
A former Pentagon AATIP director's name appeared in places as "Lue Elizondo". Corrected to "Luis Elizondo". "Lue" is a known shortening of his name, but the site uses the full form for consistency.
21 May 2026
A name was given as "Bueller". Corrected to "Buhler".
21 May 2026
The Mount Zeil wiki page stated the mountain was named after a German botanist, "Friedrich Zeil-Felsen". That namesake was fabricated. Corrected: the page now states Mount Zeil was named in 1872 by the explorer Ernest Giles, drawing on a German aristocratic family name.
