Sky Anomalies
This feature has been withdrawn from the public site. It is retained in full in the TerraPulse backend.
Originally published 2026 · Withdrawn 28 August 2026
Why it was withdrawn
This feature draws on NUFORC sighting reports, whose republication terms have never been read — NUFORC's site refuses automated requests. Public data written by members of the public is not automatically ours to republish.
The source in question is the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). TerraPulse is a commercial platform, and data licensed for non-commercial use only cannot sit underneath work we publish. Rather than leave it in place and hope, we removed it.
This is not a retraction
No finding here has been contradicted. The withdrawal is about provenance and licensing, not about whether the analysis was right.
What would bring it back
- Establish NUFORC's republication terms, or source an equivalently broad sighting corpus with clear commercial terms.
- Re-run the analysis against whatever replaces it and confirm the conclusions survive.
TerraPulse ingests measured data only, and publishes only what it can publish cleanly. Withdrawing work we had already shipped is the cost of that rule, and we would rather pay it visibly than quietly.
