Disclaimer
Important information about PatternLog and its content.
No Government Affiliation
PatternLog is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any U.S. government agency, including but not limited to the National Archives, CIA, FBI, NSA, Department of Defense, or any congressional committee. The use of government documents does not imply any official relationship or endorsement.
No Verification of Content
PatternLog mirrors documents as released by government agencies. We do not verify the accuracy, authenticity, or completeness of these documents. The presence of a document in our archive does not constitute endorsement of its contents or claims.
No Claims About Phenomena
PatternLog does not make any claims about the existence, nature, or origin of unidentified aerial phenomena. Our analysis layer identifies patterns and correlations in documents; it does not interpret meaning or draw conclusions about the phenomena described in those documents.
Analysis Limitations
Our automated analysis may contain errors. OCR extraction from scanned documents is imperfect. Entity extraction and correlation algorithms are probabilistic. Users should always refer to original source documents for authoritative information.
User-Submitted Content
Content submitted by users is labeled as "Unverified" and should be treated with appropriate skepticism. PatternLog does not verify the authenticity of user submissions. The presence of user-submitted content does not constitute endorsement.
Research Use
PatternLog is provided as a research tool. Users incorporating PatternLog data into academic work, journalism, or other publications should independently verify information and cite both PatternLog and original government sources appropriately.
