A field guide to the unexplained.
Anomaly Daily covers UAP, ancient mysteries, cryptids, paranormal incidents, unexplained historical events, and weird weather. We treat the subject matter as interesting and the evidence as testable. We are neither a debunking site nor a true-believer site — “unconfirmed” is a perfectly good ending, and most cases end there.
The site ships a daily puzzle, an interactive map, and a growing archive of source-cited cases. Editorial judgment shapes every page; the sourcing rules, classification standards, and corrections process are documented below.
Every claim earns a citation.
Every case page lists the sources it's built on. We prioritize, in order:
- Official documents.Declassified files, FOIA returns, the digitized Project Blue Book corpus, the U.S. Department of War's PURSUE releases, congressional testimony.
- Primary witness accounts. On-the-record statements from named witnesses with verifiable affiliations — pilots, navigators, site staff, named police reports.
- Academic + scientific work. Peer-reviewed papers, journal articles, university and lab reports.
- Journalism of record. Reporting from outlets that carry named bylines and editorial standards — the NYT, Reuters, the AP, Defense News, etc.
- Community analysis — Metabunk, Enigma Labs, and individual independent researchers — used and explicitly labeled when the analysis is load-bearing for a case.
We do not source from anonymous social posts, unverifiable YouTube channels, or tabloid aggregators. Witness names appear in case copy only when they appear in the cited primary record.
What the markets price, in their own words.
We follow current Polymarket and Kalshi prices on a curated list of UAP-relevant contracts — disclosure timelines, alien-confirmation deadlines, file-release expectations — and reference them inside cases when a market is load-bearing for the story. We don't price the markets; we report what the markets price. Tickers are kept in data/markets/curated.json and reviewed when new derivative markets open.
CTAs to view a market on its platform carry an analytics tag that lets us measure referral volume; if any platform offers us a paid affiliate or sponsorship relationship, we'll disclose it directly under the relevant market and on this page. As of this writing we have no commercial relationships with Polymarket or Kalshi.
We surface verdicts. We don't arbitrate.
Where an authoritative body has issued a verdict on a case — the Air Force on Phoenix Lights, UNESCO on the pyramids, NOAA on a weather phenomenon, AARO on a 21st-century UAP — we surface their classification verbatim and dated. When verdicts conflict, and they often do, we show both. We do not declare which agency was right; that's the reader's job.
AI helps with drafting and signal classification, and runs the automated quality gates that everything passes before an editor sees it. Editors review and own what publishes. We don't fabricate quotes, invent source documents, or pass AI imagery off as archival — when a case ships with illustration instead of a photograph, it's labeled.
If we got it wrong, tell us.
Send corrections through the contact form with the case slug and the specific claim that's incorrect. Substantive corrections are made visible on the case page — the original text struck through, the updated text dated. Typo-level fixes happen silently. Cases corrected within 7 days of publication carry a small “corrected” chip in the byline row.
Skeptical of governments — not a vehicle for conspiracy bait.
Skepticism of specific government programs — including the framing or rollout of PURSUE itself — stays on the site. Some conspiracy literature is genuinely interesting to examine analytically (Operation Blue Beam in its non-antisemitic readings, the Bennewitz disinformation campaign, etc.); we engage with it as literature, not as fact.
What we will not publish, examine, or platform, even in “just asking questions” framing: anti-vaccine claims, “great replacement” theory, antisemitic-coded conspiracy framings (Rothschild / Soros tropes, antisemitic readings of Project Blue Beam), QAnon, or election denial. Submissions or partner content that touch these are declined without further discussion.
An independent publication.
Anomaly Daily is an independent publication covering UAP, ancient mysteries, cryptids, paranormal incidents, unexplained historical events, and weird weather. Press, embed inquiries, partnerships, sponsorships, corrections, and security disclosures all route through /contact with a structured form. No public email address by design — every inquiry gets a routing label so the right kind of message reaches the right place.
