10 October 2026

Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
The full file: The account of how Cynthia Hind heard of the case now follows Skeptoid: Tim Leach, the BBC's Zimbabwe correspondent, alerted Hind. The earlier text listed Leach among the visitors to the school, which no cited source supports.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
The full file: The rocket that launched Kosmos 2290 in August 1994 is now called Russian, as Gideon Reid's article has it, not Soviet-era.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
The full file: The proposed physical causes now match the cited sources: travelling puppet performers (Reid), and passing strangers or a stray balloon (Dunning). A dust devil and a prank, which no cited source mentions, were removed.
The colossal squid CR-0039 · Corrected
The full file: The thawing tank is now described as saline, as Te Papa's April 2008 release says; the word 'chilled' was dropped.
The colossal squid CR-0039 · Corrected
The full file: The 495 kg weight is now attributed to the 2008 releases only. The March 2007 release gave about 450 kg.
The colossal squid CR-0039 · Corrected
The full file: A claim that a Te Papa caption gives the eye as about 30 cm was removed: no cited Te Papa page contains it.
The colossal squid CR-0039 · Corrected
The full file: Te Papa's sources do not say where the squid was frozen, only that it was examined at the Tory Street facility. The text now places only the examination there.
The colossal squid CR-0039 · Corrected
The full file: The 1,500-metre depth is now credited to Te Papa's main colossal squid page, not its collection page, which does not give it.
The Myakka Photographs CR-0070 · Corrected
The full file: Dunning's description of the teeth now follows his wording: 'prominent lower fangs' instead of 'thin straight lower canines'. He describes them as both.
The Myakka Photographs CR-0070 · Corrected
The full file: Coleman's records give Steve Otto's Tampa Tribune column two dates, 12 and 13 February 2001. The text now says so instead of giving 13 February alone.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The full file: The rugby-ball description was an English translation shown in quotation marks. It is now paraphrased, with the gendarmerie report's French words quoted.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The full file: The gendarmes recorded the trace's measurements on the night of 2 July and checked them the next morning, according to report 105. The text had said they first measured it the next morning.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The full file: GEIPAN's 2015 note says it never published an in-depth investigation of its own, not that it never investigated. It also says only that an inquiry would probably have achieved little. The text now gives both points as GEIPAN put them.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The full file: A sentence saying that later accounts quote Le Monde in support of the helicopter explanation was removed: no cited source supports it.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The full file: Several unsupported claims were removed: that the helicopter was probably an Alouette, that army exercises were under way in Provence that week, that Masse told the regional press it was not a helicopter, and that sceptics proposed farm machinery or a hoax. In their place the text gives a point from Masse's August statement: he compared the craft's departure with a jet taking off.
J. B. Rhine's ESP experiments BR-0017 · Corrected
The full file: An edit earlier on 10 October had altered Cox's stated reason for his result, and it went live. The quotation is restored to the exact words of the APA record of his 1936 paper: 'uncontrolled factors in experimental procedure or to difference in the subjects'.
J. B. Rhine's ESP experiments BR-0017 · Corrected
The full file: The parapsychologists' reply to Hansel did not say that his plan misplaced the window. It said the window was some distance from where Pratt sat, as the Psi Encyclopedia reports. The text now says that.
The Atlantic globsters CR-0037 · Corrected
The full file: The 2004 Biological Bulletin study dates the first Bermuda mass to 1995, not 1988 as the 1995 paper does; the text now notes that discrepancy alongside the press release and Bernews dates.
The Atlantic globsters CR-0037 · Corrected
The full file: The St Augustine and first Bermuda samples are credited to Eugenie Clark only in the 2004 paper; the 1995 paper credits Joseph Gennaro of the University of Florida and Teddy Tucker, and the text now gives both.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The distance to the landing rock is about 160 feet in the Condon account but about 200 feet in the RCMP's site report; the text now gives both.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source dates the recurrence of the grid-pattern sores to January 1968; the text now says only that the burns later became raised sores in a grid-like pattern.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The silver analysis printed in the Condon report was by R. J. Traill of Canada's National Research Council, not a Condon Committee mineralogist, and said the metal was dropped into sand while hot; the text now says so.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The Condon analysis and Sakulich do not actually disagree about the silver: both describe the metal itself as non-radioactive, under a radioactive coating that Sakulich omits; the text now says this and notes Rutkowski's statement to the CBC that the piece remains radioactive.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The claim that a 1968 Mayo Clinic psychiatric report is described differently by different writers could not be supported; the text now says it is known mainly through Rutkowski, who told the CBC it found Michalak down to earth.
The Yeti CR-0007 · Corrected
The full file: The National Archives says only that the yeti memo does not mean the US government believed in the yeti, not that neither government did; the text now says so.
Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter BR-0024 · Corrected
The full file: Animal Diversity Web gives November to April as the great horned owl's breeding season, not its laying season; the text now says breed.
Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter BR-0024 · Corrected
The full file: Campbell Air Force Base's 1957 statement that an official investigation was never ordered came from its former adjutant, to his knowledge; the text now attributes it.
The Beast of Exmoor CR-0050 · Corrected
The full file: The police figures were described as released in May 2025; the sources show only that they were reported that May, and the text now says they were released in 2025 and reported that May.
The Beast of Exmoor CR-0050 · Corrected
The full file: The Woodchester DNA work was described as tests on one roe-deer carcass; the University of Warwick took its samples from that carcass and a second deer found nearby, and the text now says so.
The Beast of Exmoor CR-0050 · Corrected
The full file: Elliot Morley was called the agriculture minister; Hansard gives him as parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Agriculture, and the text now uses that title.
The Beast of Exmoor CR-0050 · Sources
The full file: The Hansard source pointed to a Wayback Machine copy that turns away scripted requests; it now links to the same debate on the official Parliament site, which is still live.
The oarfish CR-0042 · Corrected
The full file: Orihara's remark that it was disappointing to find no correlation was said to have been made to the Guardian; the Guardian reports that he said it to the news agency Kyodo, and the text now says so.
The oarfish CR-0042 · Corrected
The full file: The text said oarfish are sometimes taken in set nets; Nipponica says this happens rarely, and the text now says occasionally.
The Ballechin House haunting BR-0004 · Corrected
The full file: The SPR's Psi Encyclopedia was said to describe the Ballechin debacle as ending Goodrich-Freer's part in psychical research; it says the affair ended her relationship with the SPR, and the text now says that.
The Levy affair BR-0019 · Corrected
The full file: The text said Levy used 200 to 400 bar presses an hour as his criterion; Kennedy's 1975 summary gives 200 to 400 as the rates Levy recorded and 250 an hour as his criterion, and the text now gives both figures correctly.
The Levy affair BR-0019 · Corrected
The full file: Rats retested after Levy left were said to show no psychic effect; Kennedy's summary records one session with significant below-chance scoring and no consistent effect after that, and the text now says no consistent effect.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The full file: Chastel's animal is now described as sent to the king and badly decayed on reaching Versailles in early August 1767, with Buffon's reported view coming from the servant who carried it; the earlier claim that the remains were thought to be buried in Paris now reads that no record says where they were kept or buried, as the Mende tourist office states.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The full file: Graham Robb's phrase "probably just an unusually big wolf, or several wolves" describes how the affair looked by 1765, not his own conclusion as a reviewer; the text and source note now say so.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The full file: The 210 attacks, 113 dead and 49 injured figure was attributed to de Beaufort; the sources consulted give it only as a 1987 study, so the text now says that.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The full file: The text said seven children led by Jacques Portefaix drove the beast off; accounts differ between seven children in all and Portefaix plus seven others, so it now says a group of children led by Portefaix.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The full file: Removed the unsupported claim that witnesses' descriptions kept the non-wolf idea alive at the time, and the remark that sources cite the Marin report under different references.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Corrected
The full file: The opening said aircrew reported unidentified radar returns almost daily; the New York Times reported unidentified objects, and the text now says objects.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Corrected
The full file: The date GoFast became public is disputed: it is usually dated to its publication by To the Stars Academy in March 2018, but AARO's director told the Senate in 2024 it was made public in 2017 and the Department of Defense's 2020 statement refers only to unauthorised releases in 2007 and 2017; the text now gives both.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Corrected
The full file: The text placed the Gimbal pilot's remark about a fleet of objects on the aircraft's tracking display; the cited sources say only that a pilot refers to a fleet, so the location detail has been removed.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The full file: Hollanda's 1997 interview was said to report structured craft photographed and a huge object over the Guajará-Mirim river; O Liberal places the Guajará-Mirim sighting in his report to the brigadier on 5 December 1977, and the cited sources say only that in 1997 he described his sightings and said the operation was widely documented. The text now says that.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The full file: Removed the claim that later accounts speak of around 500 photographs, which no cited source supports.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The full file: Removed Santo Antônio do Tauá from the list of places affected, which no cited source names.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The full file: The text said there is no contemporaneous record of Hollanda's view; it now says none has been published, since O Liberal reports what he told the brigadier at the time.
Bem's "Feeling the Future" experiments BR-0022 · Corrected
The full file: Bem's method was quoted as "time-reverse"; the abstract's word is "time-reversing", and the quotation now matches.
Bem's "Feeling the Future" experiments BR-0022 · Corrected
The full file: Experiment 9 was described as a surprise recall test; the replication paper describes participants simply typing as many words as they could recall, and the text now says that.
Bem's "Feeling the Future" experiments BR-0022 · Corrected
The full file: The text said Bem, as referee at the British Journal of Psychology, recommended against the replication paper; Chris French says only that the second referee had reservations and the editor rejected it, and the text now says that.
The MoD remote-viewing study BR-0016 · Corrected
The full file: Mind Hacks was said to have judged that a session's target was not reached; it quoted the researchers' own judgement from the released log, and the text now attributes it to them.
The MoD remote-viewing study BR-0016 · Corrected
The full file: The Register's 28 per cent figure was presented as an independent report; The Register was working from the BBC's report, and the text and source note now say so.
The MoD remote-viewing study BR-0016 · Corrected
The full file: Nick Pope's suggestion about bin Laden was dated to 2007 and said to have been made to the press generally; the cited source attributes it to The Guardian without a date, and the text now says that.
The MoD remote-viewing study BR-0016 · Corrected
The full file: The report was said to have been posted in two parts on an MoD disclosure log; the cited source says only that it was put on the MoD's website, and the text now says that.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Corrected
The full file: Le Soir's December 1989 report, as cited by Leclet, describes the Eupen gendarmes hearing a light humming, not a low one; the text now says light humming.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Corrected
The full file: Meessen's paper also reports two radar tracks he could not identify, one recorded during the F-16 flight, and says he found the witnesses reliable; the text now says so.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Sources
The full file: The Meessen PDF cited is a revised version, written after 2000, of his 1998 Inforespace study, not the 1998 original; the source line now says so.
The Gloucester sea serpent CR-0033 · Corrected
The full file: None of the cited sources named William Crafts as the author of the 1819 satire or described it as mocking a civic publicity stunt; Crafts's authorship is now supported by a South Carolina ETV source, and the text says only that he mocked the affair in a three-act satire.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Corrected
The full file: Capturing Bigfoot had not yet been released when this was written; the text now says it is due for US release on 20 October 2026, with a source for the date.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Corrected
The full file: Only one cited source dates Teresa Brooks's approach to Evans to 2022, and none gives June 2022; the text now gives 2022 by one account and June 2024 by another.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Corrected
The full file: The claim that Clint Patterson's mother disowned him appeared in none of the cited sources and has been removed.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Sources
The full file: Meldrum's death in September 2025 is now supported by a Boise State Public Radio report; the cited review said only late 2025.
Borley Rectory BR-0005 · Corrected
The full file: Price does not name only three witnesses to the 1900 sighting: he says Ethel, Freda and Mabel saw it first and that a fourth sister, Elsie, was fetched and saw it too, and his account draws on interviews from 1929, 1938 and 1939. The text now says so, and gives the Psi Encyclopedia's four names.
Borley Rectory BR-0005 · Corrected
The full file: Price's secretary is named Lucie Kaye in his own book, not Lucy; the spelling is corrected.
Borley Rectory BR-0005 · Corrected
The full file: The observers' booklet is titled The Alleged Haunting at B— Rectory, not of; the title is corrected.
Borley Rectory BR-0005 · Corrected
The full file: The statement that Gregson's insurers rejected his claim as arson appeared in none of the cited sources, two of which describe the fire as an overturned lamp, and it has been removed.
Mothman BR-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The Register's transcription quotes Newell Partridge as seeing 'two red reflection' in his meadow, not 'red reflectors'; the quotation is now a paraphrase.
Mothman BR-0026 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source has UPI saying a heron could not explain a speed of 100 miles an hour; the claim has been removed.
Mothman BR-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The balloon theory came from members of a high-school science club in Lawrence County, Ohio, not from a club adviser; the text now says so.
Mothman BR-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The Register reports only the two men saying they had not been drinking, and the quoted description was Mallette's; the text now attributes both correctly.
Mothman BR-0026 · Sources
The full file: The Athens Messenger article is dated 26 November 1966; the source line now gives the full date.
Bigfoot / Sasquatch CR-0029 · Corrected
The full file: The text said some 2019 coverage dated Cochran's result letter 22 February; no cited source says so, and the sentence now says only that an internal FBI memorandum dated 22 February records the same finding.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
The full file: Drummond's diary drawings came to light in 1997, supplied by an M. Drummond to The Log of Mystic Seaport, as Galbreath reports; the text no longer says a family member published them.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
The full file: Galbreath gives priority to Drummond's journal because it was written closer to the event than M'Quhae's report, which is how his 2015 article puts it.
The Petrozavodsk phenomenon NW-0013 · Corrected
The full file: The text said nothing on the Soviet side confirmed the Helsinki radar claim; the Academy report actually says Pulkovo airport's night-shift chief reported no radar return from the object, and the text now says that.
The Cheltenham ghost BR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: Rosina Despard dates her married sister's 'Sister of Mercy' sighting to 1882, but the sister's own statement puts it in the autumn of 1883; the text now gives both.
The Cheltenham ghost BR-0002 · Sources
The full file: The Psi Encyclopedia article on the case was created in 2015, not 2017; the source line is corrected.
Pascagoula abduction BR-0027 · Corrected
The full file: The AP says Parker later passed a polygraph test but not that he arranged it himself; that detail is removed.
Pascagoula abduction BR-0027 · Corrected
The full file: The text said reports of Parker's death gave his age in 1973 as 19; WLOX's report gives no age, and the text now attributes 19 to Nickell and the Hinds Community College library guide.
Pascagoula abduction BR-0027 · Corrected
The full file: Ryder is described as still with the sheriff's office 'forty years later' rather than 'in 2015', because the AP story that says so dates from 2013.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The full file: Buhs gives the date of Crew's front-page photograph inconsistently (he says it ran 'the next day' after Saturday 4 October, but in the 6 October issue), and Genzoli later called it a Sunday morning story; the text now says so instead of stating Monday 6 October flatly.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The full file: Genzoli recalled visits from reporters and representatives of the New York Times and Los Angeles Times, not telephone calls; the text now says reporters.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The full file: Michael Wallace's words 'The reality is, Bigfoot just died' were said to the Seattle Times and repeated by the Associated Press; the text no longer attributes them to the AP alone.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The full file: The Chronicle piece of 6 October 1958 is the earliest its librarian found in the archive, not established as its first report; the text now says that.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Corrected
The full file: EastMojo attributed the south-west drift to an official report, not to unnamed sources; the text now says so.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Corrected
The full file: The 25-minute hold of IndiGo 6E-275 comes from the PTI and EastMojo reports, not the ministry's answer; the text now attributes it to them.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source gives about 500 passengers affected; the text now gives only The Week's figure of around 1,000.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Corrected
The full file: The press accounts are dated 19 and 20 November 2023, not all 'the following day'; the text now gives both dates.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The full file: The National Archives describes its other Rendlesham files as mostly enquiries from the public and press; the text now uses that description.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The full file: The daylight photograph of a police officer at the landing site, taken on the morning of 26 December 1980, came to light in 2000 through the researcher Georgina Bruni, not in the MoD papers; the text now says so.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The full file: Clarke said the lost Defence Intelligence files largely duplicated reports held in the MoD's UFO desk files; the text and source note now say this rather than that they were duplicated in DEFE 24/1948/1.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The full file: The police remark that the ground marks could have been made by an animal came from an officer who examined them after a second call later on the morning of 26 December, not from the officers who attended in the night; the text now separates the two.
The Cideville poltergeist BR-0008 · Corrected
The full file: De Mirville's printed papers show the summons was served on 3 January 1851 and the case opened before the Juge de Paix on 7 January; the text previously said the summons was dated 7 January and now gives both dates.
Pat Price and URDF-3 BR-0014 · Corrected
The full file: The 1975 analysis read the experimenter's call about something west of the main building as an attempt to get Price to see the headframes, but also judged the experimenters unfamiliar with the target; the text no longer says the call suggests they knew the target, and gives the analyst's view.
Pat Price and URDF-3 BR-0014 · Corrected
The full file: The analyst recommended a 'psychological stress evaluator', not a voice stress analyser by name; the text now uses his term.
The Officer Reports CR-0071 · Corrected
The full file: The text said both witnesses explicitly rejected a bear, but only the Connecticut driver did; it now says the South Carolina officer wrote that he was convinced it was a bigfoot, and the driver that it was not a bear.
The Officer Reports CR-0071 · Sources
The full file: A stray comma was removed from the Free Times source line.
The Officer Reports CR-0071 · Corrected
The full file: The text described each witness as an adult with no stated wish to see such an animal, which neither record states; it now says each man reports reaching the conclusion reluctantly and the Connecticut driver calls himself a former sceptic, as the BFRO reports say.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The full file: The start time was given as just after 17:00 local; the text now gives 17:19 Alaska time and notes that the FAA alert report says 6.19 p.m..
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The full file: The FAA chronology has the crew reporting the traffic at nine o'clock at 02:44 and at seven o'clock, eight miles, at 02:48; the text had placed it behind them at 02:44 and now follows the chronology.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The full file: The words 'scientific garbage' were attributed to Robert Sheaffer; they are Bruce Maccabee's, quoted by Sheaffer in Skeptical Inquirer, and the text now says so, with Sheaffer agreeing that moonlight on cloud would make a poor display.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The full file: The text said the FAA's Alaskan public affairs office released a selection of documents on 5 March 1987; the cited record shows only an explanatory note of that date, so the claim was removed. The FAA's sale of the full package with tapes, supported by Sheaffer, is kept.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The full file: The AFP item about the 21 May photograph had been described as released by the CIA in 1978; La Nueva's 2016 report says only that the CIA had recently declassified it, and the text now says that.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The full file: The text said Ferguson gives the same figures for the burnt grass as Uriondo; Uriondo gives an area 60 metres in diameter and Ferguson a 60-metre radius, and the text now notes the difference.
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) BR-0021 · Corrected
The full file: Stanley Jeffers was described as having collaborated with the PEAR group; his Skeptical Inquirer article says only that he had run such experiments with others in the field, and the text now says that.
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) BR-0021 · Corrected
The full file: The text said PEAR reports that it published its benchmark data in full; no cited source says so, and the sentence now says only that publication bias across many studies does not by itself explain the shift in PEAR's own database.
The Bloop CR-0038 · Corrected
The full file: The closing section said ice had been the only serious candidate since 2001, although Fox told New Scientist in 2002 that he leaned towards an animal; it now says ice, Fox's suspicion as early as 2001, has been the only serious candidate since the Antarctic recordings.
The Bloop CR-0038 · Corrected
The full file: A sentence saying the underlying 1997 data remain with PMEL's acoustics programme could not be confirmed in any source and has been removed.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: Controller John Cordy's account of how far a radar target tracked the aircraft now gives both figures he has used: 20 to 30 miles in one interview and forty miles in another.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: The DSIR quotation now matches the document as RNZ reports it: the prospect of extraterrestrial intervention being proved was 'regarded as extremely remote'.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: The co-pilot's sighting of the squid fleet is now attributed to Maccabee, who places it some 130 nautical miles east of Christchurch.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: Bill Ireland's 2000 re-examination used the film as reproduced in the BBC's 1982 Horizon programme, not a 2000 Horizon programme, and nothing supports calling him retired; the text now says so.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: Ireland argued that Maccabee's assumption of a 100 mm lens setting understated the object's size, not that it inflated it; the text now says understated.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: The two closure dates for the original files are now attributed: the Otago Daily Times (2011) gave 2050 and ABC News (2010) gave 2080 for some files; the Otago Daily Times report has been added to the sources.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The full file: The statement that the 2010 dossier was released under the Official Information Act could not be confirmed in the cited sources and now says only that it was released in December 2010.
The San Diego swarm NW-0036 · Sources
The full file: The text no longer says the Navy video remains on navy.mil as well as DVIDS, because only the DVIDS copy could be confirmed.
The San Diego swarm NW-0036 · Corrected
The full file: USS Paul Hamilton was listed among ships whose deck logs record sightings on 14 and 15 July; The War Zone names it only as a ship nearby, so it has been taken off the list.
The San Diego swarm NW-0036 · Corrected
The full file: The documents were said to have been obtained under FOIA by Dave Beaty as well as by The War Zone; The War Zone says Beaty uncovered the first details and its own FOIA requests produced the logs, and the text now says so.
The San Diego swarm NW-0036 · Corrected
The full file: The documents show only that an NCIS agent said the matter would be reported to the Pacific Fleet commander, not that it reached him; the text now says so, while the office of the Chief of Naval Operations is still given as having received it.
The Columbus poltergeist BR-0012 · Corrected
The full file: The quotation of Mrs Resch's refusal now matches Randi's wording: she admitted the astronomers but not the "magician".
The Columbus poltergeist BR-0012 · Corrected
The full file: The dispute over Roll's 14 March observations now follows the sources: Randi, retelling Roll's press-conference account, says Tina spent some 30 minutes alone upstairs before events in which a tape recorder flew from a dresser behind Roll, and Roll replied that he had been with her and never claimed to see the recorder move.
The Columbus poltergeist BR-0012 · Corrected
The full file: The text said photographer Fred Shannon told Randi how he took his pictures, but Randi never met Shannon; it is now given as Randi's account.
The Columbus poltergeist BR-0012 · Corrected
The full file: Randi's description of the couch is now quoted accurately, as "jumping out" rather than "jumped out".
The Rosenheim poltergeist BR-0010 · Corrected
The full file: Bender's 1968 report gives the filing cabinet as 3½ Zentner (about 175 kg), the same as his 1974 account, not 3.4 Zentner; the supposed discrepancy has been removed.
The Rosenheim poltergeist BR-0010 · Corrected
The full file: Bender's team recorded swinging lamps and bangs on its Ampex video recorder; the picture turning about 320 degrees was recorded later by Adam's son, and the text now says so.
The Rosenheim poltergeist BR-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The account of Herbert Schäfer's 1994 book no longer says the physicists themselves detected a manipulation, since the cited summary does not say who detected it.
The Rosenheim poltergeist BR-0010 · Corrected
The full file: The start of the utility's monitoring is given as 16 November by Bender and 15 November by the physicists; the text now gives both dates.
The Bossburg Tracks CR-0068 · Corrected
The full file: Regal dates Krantz's first sight of the tracks only to 'a few weeks' after the Thanksgiving 1969 find, not specifically to December 1969; the text now says 'within weeks of the first find by Regal's account'.
The kawekaweau CR-0060 · Corrected
The full file: The 2023 DNA study recovered data for twelve of the fifteen marker genes it compared (two of them mitochondrial), not 'parts of twelve other genes'; the text now says so.
Sasquatch CR-0066 · Corrected
The full file: Clare O'Reilly wrote the NiCHE essay as an environmental-history master's student, not as a NiCHE historian; the text now describes her that way.
Sasquatch CR-0066 · Sources
The full file: Wayne Suttles's paper is titled 'Some Questions About the Sasquatch'; the source list now gives the full title.
Sasquatch CR-0066 · Sources
The full file: The Courthouse Libraries BC page carries no revision date that could be confirmed; the source line no longer says 'revised 2024'.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: The Star story ran the Monday after the weekend that followed the 26 August bank holiday, not at the end of the bank holiday itself; the text says 'in the week after the 1985 August bank holiday'.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: Clarke's paper says the Halls' downstairs rooms were badly damaged, not gutted; the text now says badly damaged.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: Clarke found at least five different crying-boy images among the prints, so the text now says 'many', not 'most', were signed Bragolin.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: It was The Sun, not Clarke's own finding, that said the prints sold particularly in working-class areas of northern England; the text now attributes this to the paper.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: Atlas Obscura describes Martin Shipp as a construction researcher, not a fire researcher; the text now says construction researcher.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: Murphy told Clarke that the phrase 'curse of the crying boy' was his own, rather than the single word 'curse'; the text now says the phrase.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The full file: The Don Bonillo legend comes from an online account by Tom Slemen in 2000, not a print publication, and Clarke says only the pseudonym Franchot Seville in it can be corroborated; the text now says so.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Sources
The full file: Clarke's online article was first published in Fortean Times 234 in 2008, with the online text dated 2010; the source line now says this instead of 'revised 2010'.
The Seaford poltergeist BR-0009 · Corrected
The full file: A quotation from the Associated Press report of 27 February 1958 could not be confirmed and was turned into paraphrase: no bottles opened while a Duke University psychologist was in the house the day before.
The Seaford poltergeist BR-0009 · Corrected
The full file: Pratt and Roll say Detective Tozzi carried a lamp that would show the fluorescent powder on anyone's hands, not that the family's hands were later checked under a lamp; the text now says so.
The Seaford poltergeist BR-0009 · Corrected
The full file: Pratt and Roll wrote that the children's involvement could not be ruled out in a number of incidents, not that many incidents could have been staged by a child alone; the text now follows their wording.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: Sérgio Mota da Silva is described in the sources only as a flight controller on duty that night, not as the São José dos Campos tower controller; the text now calls him a controller on duty that night.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: A Ministry of Justice account quoted by CNN Brasil names the Xingu pilot as Alcir Pereira, while other accounts name Ozires Silva; the text now gives both.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: The Portuguese quotation from the 1986 report now uses the report's own plural form, 'constituidos', as typed in the original.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: The report puts the lights seen by the Xingu pilot on the 150 radial of the São José dos Campos beacon, which is south-east of the city, not east; the text now says south-east.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: The cited source says only that further official records were published in 2015, not that this was audio; the text now says further records followed in 2015, and notes separately that the National Archive holds audio.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: 'Not necessarily manned' was shown in quotation marks but is our translation of the report's Portuguese; it is now given as paraphrase.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The full file: One repeated sentence about the 21-object count and a few words elsewhere were cut to keep the write-up within its length limit.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
The full file: The Wright Field teletype thanking Arnold is dated 10 July 1947 in the file copy, not 18 July; the text now says 10 July.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source names Arnold's aircraft as a CallAir; the make has been removed.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
The full file: The 1,200 miles an hour figure is not from later accounts: Hynek's analysis in the Air Force file corrects an earlier figure of 1,200 to about 1,700. The text now says so, and keeps HistoryLink's 1,400.
The Sasquatch Ordinance CR-0067 · Corrected
The full file: Whatcom County does not border Skamania County; the text now says it is at the other end of the state, on the Canadian border, not 'neighbouring'.
The Sasquatch Ordinance CR-0067 · Corrected
The full file: The Skamania chamber of commerce invites visitors to pick up the ordinance postcard and does not say it is sold; the text now says the chamber offers it.
The Sasquatch Ordinance CR-0067 · Corrected
The full file: The 1984 ordinance sets the gross misdemeanour penalty as a year in the county jail and a $1,000 fine, or both, not 'up to a year'; the text now follows the ordinance's wording for both penalties.
The curse of Ötzi BR-0033 · Corrected
The full file: The count of six deaths comes from the 2006 dpa report, not from the book Deem cites on the recovery; the text now attributes it to dpa.
Skinwalker Ranch BR-0023 · Corrected
The full file: The 1996 Deseret News article describes one dead cow with only a hole in its eye and two with holes cut into the body; the text now says this instead of 'holes cut in them'.
Skinwalker Ranch BR-0023 · Sources
The full file: The statement that press accounts date the programme to 2007 had no cited source; an NPR report from 2017 that says so has been added to the sources.
The Broad Haven school sighting NW-0039 · Corrected
The full file: The number of child witnesses was given as fourteen, fifteen or sixteen; no cited source gives sixteen, so the text now says fourteen or fifteen.
The Broad Haven school sighting NW-0039 · Corrected
The full file: The text said the head teacher first suspected a prank and told Newsround the descriptions were similar; neither could be confirmed, and it now says, as David Clarke reports, that staff at first dismissed the children's story.
The Khartoum object NW-0029 · Corrected
The full file: The text said press versions put the sighting at about three minutes or more than three; the cited Al Arabiya report, quoting Marco Langbroek, says about three minutes, and the text now says so alongside the pilot's own estimate of two to three minutes.
The Khartoum object NW-0029 · Corrected
The full file: Smithsonian magazine was said to have reported Langbroek's reading; its article credits the upper-stage interpretation of the pilot's photograph to Space.com's reporting, and the text now says it reported that interpretation.
Shag Harbour NW-0011 · Corrected
The full file: The text said the Condon project put the fishing boat about 175 nautical miles from the site; the report says the position the captain gave for his radar contacts was that far away (the boat itself was about 16 miles off), and the text now says so.
The curse of Tutankhamun BR-0031 · Corrected
The full file: The sealed doorway to the burial chamber was said to have been opened on 17 February 1923; Carter's diary records it on 16 February, while Nelson's BMJ study gives 17 February, and the text now gives both.
The curse of Tutankhamun BR-0031 · Corrected
The full file: Conan Doyle was described as 'lecturing' in America; the Literary Digest says only that he was in America, and the text now says that.
The curse of Tutankhamun BR-0031 · Corrected
The full file: Nelson's study was said to have poorly documented women and the unexposed; Nelson says the records of the unexposed were less complete and that women were over-represented among them, and the text now says so.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: An edit earlier on 10 October had reduced Goldney's role to 'assisted'; the Society's encyclopedia says she assisted throughout as one of the two experimenters, so the original wording has been restored.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: The text said one sceptical source dated Soal's loss of the original records to 1945; no cited source gives that date, so it has been removed.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: Hansel's 1960 work was described as a critical review in the Proceedings; the cited source describes a 1960 critique suggesting ways the evidence might have been falsified and does not name the journal, and the text now says that.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: Gretl Albert was said to have told Goldney what she saw; the sources say only that she said she saw Soal alter figures. The text also now notes that Nature says she was the agent at two sittings and the Society's encyclopedia says one.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: Medhurst was said to have failed to find the targets in Soal's logarithm tables; the cited source says that in the Society's Journal in 1971 he pointed out inaccuracies in Soal's account of how the target series was built, and the text now says that.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: Markwick's repeated target sequences were said to recur 'sometimes reversed'; no cited source mentions reversal, so the words have been removed.
The Soal–Goldney experiments BR-0018 · Corrected
The full file: The 2018 West and Markwick study was said to have found a 'similar pattern' in Soal's tests with Gloria Stewart; the Society's encyclopedia describes Stewart records that had been altered and recopied, and the text now says that.
The Buenos Aires lights NW-0008 · Corrected
The full file: The UPI report does not say El Mundo's staff watched from the roof; it says nearly all the staff saw the lights, with two visiting air force officers, and that the paper's photographer took his pictures from the terrace of the Editorial Haynes building. The text now says that.
Lakenheath–Bentwaters NW-0005 · Corrected
The full file: The 1956 USAF report says the Bentwaters tower saw a bright light pass over the field and that the pilot of an unspecified aircraft at 4,000 feet saw a light streak beneath him; the 'blurry light' and the C-47 at 5,000 feet come from the 1968 letter. The text now separates the two accounts.
The Skookum Cast CR-0069 · Corrected
The full file: An earlier unrecorded pass dropped the month from the Outside article's date; the article is dated January 2002, and the text again says January 2002.
The Skookum Cast CR-0069 · Corrected
The full file: Crowley showed that ridge-like texture can form as casting material dries, which weakens the ridge detail as evidence for a primate rather than removing it entirely; the text now says 'weakens'.
The Drummer of Tedworth BR-0007 · Corrected
The full file: Glanvill did not rebut claims that the noises were a ploy to lower a rent or profit from visitors; he argued that Mompesson had nothing to gain because the affair had damaged his name, his estate and his household. The text now says that.
The Calvine photograph NW-0023 · Corrected
The full file: David Clarke traced Craig Lindsay in 2022, not 2021, and Lindsay gave the print to Sheffield Hallam University in July 2022; the text now says so.
The Calvine photograph NW-0023 · Corrected
The full file: Andrew Robinson's report gives a 400-speed black-and-white film as the probable stock rather than a certainty; the text now says the negative was probably a 400-speed film.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: The 2 May 1933 Inverness Courier report described the animal 'rolling and plunging for fully a minute', not 'rolled and plunged'; the quotation now matches.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: The chief constable's letter is dated 15 August 1938, not 1933, and reads 'seems now beyond doubt'; the date and wording are corrected and the National Records of Scotland transcript added as a source.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: The words 'There is a very significant amount of eel DNA' were not a quotation from Neil Gemmell in the cited sources; the sentence is now a paraphrase of the team's finding.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: The view that giant eels 'remain a plausible idea' was Gemmell's own statement, not a team conclusion; it is now attributed to him.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source gives 15 April 1933 for the Mackay sighting; the alternative date has been removed and the Courier's 14 April kept.
The Zamora encounter NW-0037 · Corrected
The full file: No cited source dates Hynek's arrival to 28 April 1964; the text now gives only the Chieftain's date of Wednesday 29 April.
The Dybbuk box BR-0032 · Corrected
The full file: The 2004 Los Angeles Times quotation from Mannis is now given in full: 'all of this stuff has an explanation that doesn't necessarily point to this box'.
The Dybbuk box BR-0032 · Corrected
The full file: Biddle identified the cabinet as a mini-bar of the 1950s and 1960s made by Robert Karoff of New York, who filed a patent for the design in 1957; the text no longer says it was patented in 1957.
Targ and Puthoff's experiments with Uri Geller BR-0015 · Corrected
The full file: Nature's referees called the account of how the experiments were carried out 'disconcertingly vague'; the text had applied that phrase to the safeguards against fraud, which the editorial describes separately as vague. Both are now given correctly.
Targ and Puthoff's experiments with Uri Geller BR-0015 · Corrected
The full file: SRI's write-up describes a double-walled shielded room, not a steel room; the text now says shielded.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now gives the aircraft's height as about 11,500 feet from the 2004 press reports. This matches Smith's eSkeptic account.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now gives the Defence Secretary's full name as General Gerardo Clemente Ricardo Vega García. This matches SEDENA's transparency answer as reported by UnoTV.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now says Vega García acknowledged there was no official record of the handover of the tape. This matches El Imparcial.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now describes Julio Herrera as a nuclear science researcher, not a nuclear physicist. This matches the Reuters report.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now says Smith's flare analysis appeared in eSkeptic, the Skeptics Society's newsletter, on 24 July 2004, rather than in Skeptic magazine.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text now gives the camera's actual fields of view from Smith: the flares were just visible at 3.6 by 2.6 degrees and clearest at 0.4 by 0.3 degrees.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text said Reuters reported that the ministry confirmed it had supplied the video. The Reuters report says only that the Air Force had released the footage, and the text now says that.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The full file: The text said the Infraspection Institute examined the tape in 2005 for a National Geographic Channel programme. The Institute's own item says the National Geographic Society asked it to examine the tape and gives its conclusion in May 2005, and the text now says that.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Sources
The full file: The Mediotiempo source line credited it with the three radar echoes and the thermal targets. In that article those details are a journalist's account and are not tied to SEDENA, so the line now cites it only for SEDENA's confirmation that it holds a record of the sighting.
The mande barung CR-0057 · Corrected
The full file: The text now says the scientists, not Redmond alone, called the first microscope results 'potentially very exciting'. The BBC reports it both ways.
The mande barung CR-0057 · Corrected
The full file: The text now names the Mammal Diversity Database's separate species as the Burmese goral (Naemorhedus evansi), listed for Myanmar, China and Thailand with India and Bangladesh only queried.
The mande barung CR-0057 · Sources
The full file: The TwoCircles.net copy of the IANS report from 9 June 2007 now returns a server error, so the source now links to the Wayback Machine copy of the same article.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Corrected
The full file: The text gave the 1635 manuscript's author as Morten Pedersen Herdal or Mogens Pedersen and said the date rested on a passage reprinted by Arvid Enqvist. None of the cited sources gives the 1635 date, either name or that reprint, so the text now says the date and author are unverified.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Corrected
The full file: The text called Sanna Händén-Svensson an ethnologist. Her doctorate is in human ecology, and the text now calls her a human ecologist.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Corrected
The full file: The text called Einar Lönnberg Uppsala-trained. The source says Aftonbladet sent him from Uppsala University, and the text now calls him the Uppsala University zoologist.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Sources
The full file: The Budkavlen source linked to a download of the whole 2025 issue, which sits behind a bot-check page. It now links to the article's own DOI, which leads to Händén-Svensson's article on Storsjöodjuret.
The Enfield poltergeist BR-0011 · Corrected
The full file: The text now says WPC Heeps's statement places the call at about 1 am on Thursday 1 September, where an older wording said the statement was dated 1 September. The new wording matches the statement as the SPR reproduces it.
The Enfield poltergeist BR-0011 · Corrected
The full file: The text now drops the claim that the 1978 SPR committee report was never published. No cited source supports that claim.
The Enfield poltergeist BR-0011 · Corrected
The full file: The text gave Janet's age as 11 and Margaret's as 12, 13 or 14. No source gives 12 for Margaret, and the SPR's own article gives Janet as both 11 and 12. The text now says Janet was 11 in most accounts (12 in one) and Margaret 13 or 14.
The Varginha incident BR-0029 · Corrected
The full file: The text quoted the Estado de Minas as reporting a "secret operation" in May 1996. The paper quotes a ufologist calling it a discreet, well-planned operation, so the text now says this in plain words without quotation marks.
The Varginha incident BR-0029 · Corrected
The full file: The text dated the Sergeants' School commander's note to 11 May 1996. The note survives in press cuttings in the Army inquiry file, but that exact date could not be confirmed, so the text now says May 1996.
Caso Collahuasi NW-0040 · Corrected
The full file: The text said CEFAA's analysis had further review by other specialists; Kean's report says it was the work of a single analyst, so that phrase has been removed.
Caso Collahuasi NW-0040 · Corrected
The full file: The statement that CEFAA does not rule on extraterrestrial origin was attributed to Bermúdez speaking to La Tercera; it is the newspaper's own narration, and the text now says La Tercera noted it.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: An edit earlier on 10 October had turned the captain's words to Barcelona control into paraphrase; the Air Force transcript does record him saying "Quiero tomar tierra en Valencia", so the quotation has been restored.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: The text now adds that the 1980 parliamentary question gives the landing as 23:50; the question does say 23:50, against 23:45 in the Air Force summary, and both are kept.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: An edit earlier on 10 October presented the 00:40 Mirage take-off in later accounts as a disagreement with the file; the Torrejón report has the scramble ordered at 23:26 UTC and the jet airborne at 23:40 UTC (00:40 local), so the text now gives both times as consistent.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: The text now dates Fernández Peris's study to its presentation by the Fundación Anomalía on the case's twentieth anniversary in November 1999, not to 2000; the Foundation's release confirms this and it is kept.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: The captain's 'I have never known such danger' was said to have been given to the Guardian's correspondent in the Canaries; the Guardian report was filed from Madrid and quotes him speaking in Arrecife, Lanzarote, so the text now says he was quoted by the Guardian.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The full file: Later claims of three radar returns 200 metres across and a pursuit at Mach 1.4 could not be found in any cited source and have been removed; the Mach 1.7 claim, reported by ABC, remains as an example of later retellings.
The Tehran intercept NW-0012 · Corrected
The full file: Klass's contractor sources were said to have named only 'one of the two aircraft' as having a fault history, and retellings were said to disagree on which; Skeptoid's summary of Klass says it was the second F-4 and that the first was never sent for maintenance, so the text now says so and the unsupported disagreement has been removed.
The Tehran intercept NW-0012 · Corrected
The full file: A claim that later retellings have the object outrunning the jets at Mach 2 could not be found in any cited source and has been removed.
The Flatwoods monster BR-0025 · Corrected
The full file: The quoted 'manlike' figure is spelled 'man-like' in Nickell's text, and the quotation now matches.
Voronezh UFO incident BR-0028 · Corrected
The full file: The separate sky sighting was attributed to 'some adults'; Kurtz says only 'some people', and the text now says that in both places.
Chessie CR-0036 · Corrected
The full file: The 1984 reports are now attributed to the Kent Island Bay Times, which ran a third consecutive week of sightings off the Eastern Shore in August 1984; the text previously said only that reports clustered around Kent Island.
Chessie CR-0036 · Corrected
The full file: The Fish and Wildlife Service's Chessie booklets are now described as conservation booklets rather than anti-litter booklets, which is how the surviving copy presents them.
Chessie CR-0036 · Corrected
The full file: A sentence saying nothing was reported in 1979 was removed to keep the piece within length; the Library of Virginia source still supports it.
The Minnesota Iceman CR-0063 · Corrected
The full file: Hansen's suggestion is now given as a 'skilful oriental fabrication', a faithful translation of Heuvelmans's 'habile fabrication orientale', and no longer as a one-word quotation.
The Minnesota Iceman CR-0063 · Corrected
The full file: The customs episode is now given as one event, supported by the 2025 Forum Communications account: in July 1969 US officials at Pembina, North Dakota, refused the exhibit entry from Canada until Senator Mondale's office intervened. The earlier text also described a stop by Canadian officials, which no cited source supports.
The Minnesota Iceman CR-0063 · Corrected
The full file: An edit earlier on 10 October had dropped the statement that the figure is still at the Museum of the Weird. The statement is restored with its source: a 2025 newspaper report says it remains there.
The thylacine CR-0028 · Corrected
The full file: Australian Geographic reports 99 physical records in addition to the 1,237 sighting records, not as part of them; the text now says the database also holds 99 physical records, such as carcasses and skins, all from before 1936.
The thylacine CR-0028 · Corrected
The full file: The Parks and Wildlife Service search after Hans Naarding's 1982 sighting is now described as year-long, citing Australian Geographic. A claim that some accounts give more than two years was removed because no reliable source supports it.
The ganzfeld experiments BR-0020 · Corrected
The full file: Hyman's 1994 comparison was between how many times a target appeared in the database, not between first and later appearances; the text now says targets used once or twice scored 27 per cent and targets shown three or more times scored 36 per cent.
The ganzfeld experiments BR-0020 · Sources
The full file: The title of Storm, Tressoldi and Utts's 2013 reply in the sources is now given in full.
The Chilean infrared case NW-0028 · Corrected
The full file: The Metabunk analysts did not first settle on LAN flight LA330 and then move to IB6830; they looked at both flights in that airspace and judged IB6830 the more likely, and the text now says that.
Mokele-mbembe CR-0013 · Corrected
The full file: Ley's 1941 English version of von Stein's notes kept von Stein's caution that the animal was probably local folklore, according to Brian Dunning; it was Heuvelmans who dropped it. The text had said Ley's versions stressed only that von Stein wrote cautiously.
Mokele-mbembe CR-0013 · Corrected
The full file: The phrase "narratives of the natives" could not be found in any cited source, so it is no longer given as a quotation; the text now says von Stein reported what local people said.
Trans-en-Provence NW-0018 · Corrected
The full file: Nicolaï did not tell GEPAN he took the craft for a military machine; GEPAN's note only suggested he may have read it that way, and his critics say he later suggested it. The text now says so and names Canjuers as one of France's largest training camps.
The Hammersmith ghost BR-0003 · Corrected
The full file: Kirby called only the horned figure (and a story of cut harness traces) 'newspaper fabrication'; of the Brook Green death he said the report was unfounded because the lady's fright came from a drunken man. The text now separates the two.
The chupacabra CR-0021 · Corrected
The full file: Barry OConnor's 2010 argument was that wild canids such as coyotes, unlike domestic dogs, have had no evolutionary history with the mange mite and so no defence against it; the text had said this of canids in general and now says it of wild canids.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
The full file: The 1972 Post-Dispatch report says Edgar Harrison was hosting the church's regular meeting at his house when the growling was heard, not a special prayer meeting; the text now says so.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
The full file: The town's population was about 5,000 by the Post-Dispatch's 1972 count; the 3,300 figure is the Associated Press's from 2012. The text now gives both.
The USS Nimitz encounter NW-0034 · Corrected
The full file: Fravor's remark that critics had 'never operated the system' was made in 2020 about Mick West's analysis of the Gimbal video, not the FLIR1 clip; the text now says so.
The Hampton Court Palace hauntings BR-0006 · Corrected
The full file: Wiseman's 2009 remark that 'location matters' was about the 2001 Edinburgh Vaults study, not Hampton Court; the text now says so.
The Cheltenham ghost BR-0002 · Corrected
The 1892 Proceedings printed Myers' interview notes and only described J. W. Graham's account; the file previously said both were printed. The letters from the time survive as quoted extracts, not in full.
The Hammersmith ghost BR-0003 · Corrected
Thomas Millwood is now described as a bricklayer, as the Old Bailey trial record has it, with Kirby's 'plasterer' noted; the file previously called him a plasterer. The trial record is now cited too.
Borley Rectory BR-0005 · Corrected
The Bull daughters who saw the figure in 1900 are now given as three or four, since sources differ; the file previously said three.
The Hampton Court Palace hauntings BR-0006 · Corrected
The analysis used daytime magnetic readings from six areas in each location, the evening readings being discarded; the file previously described magnetic mapping of 24 areas.
The Hampton Court Palace hauntings BR-0006 · Corrected
Telling half the groups that activity had increased made no significant difference overall, but its interaction with belief was significant, which the authors thought might be chance. The file previously reported no effect at all.
The Cideville poltergeist BR-0008 · Corrected
The Yerville judgment is dated 4 February 1851; the file previously gave 15 February.
The Cideville poltergeist BR-0008 · Corrected
M. Fontaine, who called out that he had caught the younger boy moving a table, is now identified as the plaintiff's advocate; the file previously left him unidentified.
The Rosenheim poltergeist BR-0010 · Corrected
The generator brought in at the office is now attributed to Hans Bender's later account, the utility's 1968 report saying only that one was planned; the file previously stated it as fact.
The Enfield poltergeist BR-0011 · Corrected
Janet's estimate of faked incidents is now quoted as '2 per cent', and the SPR committee's finding is given as the Psi Encyclopedia's summary rather than as the committee's own quoted words.
Pat Price and URDF-3 BR-0014 · Corrected
The sessions ran on 9–11 and 15 July 1974, not four consecutive days from 9 July.
Pat Price and URDF-3 BR-0014 · Corrected
The crane Price drew was one of two features chosen in advance as the test; the other, four derrick-like structures, he never described. The file previously gave the derricks as the whole test.
The MoD remote-viewing study BR-0016 · Corrected
The 28 per cent figure now carries the BBC's differing version, 28 per cent of those tested; the file previously gave only the reading of 28 per cent of guesses.
The Levy affair BR-0019 · Corrected
Rhine first reported the Levy investigation in 1974, and again in 1975; the file previously gave 1975 alone.
The ganzfeld experiments BR-0020 · Corrected
Rouder and colleagues' fall to at most 330 to 1 also required adding studies the 2010 analysis had omitted, not only dropping the manually randomised ones.
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) BR-0021 · Corrected
The 2006 meta-analysis by Bösch, Steinkamp and Boller is now described as independent of PEAR but not of the consortium replication, two of its authors having taken part in it; the file previously called it independent outright.
Skinwalker Ranch BR-0023 · Sources
The citation of AARO's 2024 historical report now includes page 34, where its 'lack of merit' finding appears, as well as pages 22–23.
Voronezh UFO incident BR-0028 · Corrected
The witnesses are now children of about twelve, three named by Sovetskaya Kultura and about ten by the TASS correspondent; the file previously said three schoolchildren were the only witnesses a television crew could find.
The Varginha incident BR-0029 · Corrected
The three witnesses were young women, the eldest 22, though the Army inquiry called them 'três meninas'; the file previously called them girls.
The Varginha incident BR-0029 · Corrected
The Army inquiry's judgement that they had most probably seen a local man is now noted as reached without taking their evidence.
The Crying Boy curse BR-0030 · Corrected
The newspapers David Clarke traced on microfilm now include the Rotherham Star; the file previously listed only the Sheffield Star and The Sun.
The curse of Tutankhamun BR-0031 · Corrected
Nelson compared the 25 Westerners present at the key openings with the 11 who were not and whose dates of death were known; the file previously left the comparison group unspecified.
The Dybbuk box BR-0032 · Corrected
The Holocaust-survivor backstory is now attributed to the eBay listings as the Forward later quoted them, rather than stated as the story the cabinet was sold with.
The curse of Ötzi BR-0033 · Corrected
Konrad Spindler's illness is now given as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, as his university's obituary says; the press, and previously this file, said multiple sclerosis.
The curse of Ötzi BR-0033 · Corrected
Helmut Simon's death is now given in both versions, a blizzard by the Telegraph's account and a fall from a path by the EFE agency's; the file previously stated the blizzard as fact.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Corrected
The order protected the animal's eggs, roe and nest, not its offspring, and used the procedure applied to real species such as the pearl mussel; the file previously said the mussel was protected that same year.
Storsjöodjuret CR-0001 · Corrected
'An obviously incorrect application of the law' was the county board's own wording when it revoked the order, after the Parliamentary Ombudsman criticised its objectivity; the file previously attributed the phrase to the Ombudsman.
Loch Ness CR-0002 · Corrected
The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries' remark that Nessie is not a salmon is now given as a paraphrase; the file previously printed it as a direct quotation that could not be verified.
The Yeti CR-0007 · Corrected
The 1959 rules allowed the yeti to be killed in self-defence and set a 5,000-rupee permit fee; the file previously said simply that it must not be killed.
Mokele-mbembe CR-0013 · Corrected
Expeditions have run since the late 1970s, more than fifty by one BBC count, Roy Mackal's of 1980 and 1981 among them; the file previously counted two.
Mokele-mbembe CR-0013 · Corrected
The living fossil in the note is now named as the coelacanth, found off South Africa in 1938; the file previously placed it in the Congo.
The chupacabra CR-0021 · Corrected
The near-identical coyote DNA match came from one carcass, from Cuero, Texas, tested in 2007; the file previously spoke of carcasses in general. No animal from the Puerto Rican wave was ever tested.
The chupacabra CR-0021 · Corrected
The Puerto Rican wave coincided with a severe drought; the file previously said both the 1995 Puerto Rican and 1996 Mexican outbreaks followed droughts, and no source supports the Mexican one.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
The witnesses now include a midshipman, the quartermaster, the boatswain's mate and the helmsman; the file previously named only the three officers.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
The Times first printed a second-hand rumour; M'Quhae's report, written at the Admiralty's request, appeared on 13 October 1848. The file previously gave 10 October.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
The lieutenant's journal records a back fin, against the captain's report of no fins; the file previously gave only the captain's version.
HMS Daedalus CR-0032 · Corrected
Richard Owen proposed a sea-elephant or a sea-lion; the file previously had him naming an elephant seal alone.
The Gloucester sea serpent CR-0033 · Corrected
The verdict is now snake explained, sightings open, rated B rather than D: the Boston Society of Natural History ruled only on the deformed black snake, not on the sworn sightings. The file previously treated the whole affair as explained.
The Gloucester sea serpent CR-0033 · Corrected
The ship's carpenter swore only that he thought he must have hit the animal, and the snake was killed in a field near the shore; the file previously had a certain hit and a beach.
The Gloucester sea serpent CR-0033 · Corrected
Hump counts in the sworn depositions ran from eight to fifty; the file previously gave thirteen to thirty-two.
Chessie CR-0036 · Corrected
The 1982 examination is now credited to Smithsonian scientists led by the herpetologist George Zug; the file previously listed seven Smithsonian scientists, the National Aquarium and Maryland's natural resources department, which could not be confirmed.
Chessie CR-0036 · Sources
The source on file is now an archived copy of the USGS Sound Waves report of 2011, the earlier USGS news link having gone dead.
The Atlantic globsters CR-0037 · Corrected
The Bermuda mass is now dated only to 1988, with both accounts given: Mangrove Bay in May, or a lagoon in the summer as the scientists put it. The file previously gave Mangrove Bay in May as settled.
The Bloop CR-0038 · Corrected
The sound was heard more than 5,000 km from its source; the file previously said it was recorded by sensors more than 5,000 km apart.
The Bloop CR-0038 · Corrected
For years PMEL's own page said the origin was unknown; the file previously dismissed the 'unexplained' label as a mere filing category.
The oarfish CR-0042 · Corrected
The sightings come mainly from the Sea of Japan coast; the file previously placed them on the Pacific coast.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The attacks resumed about ten weeks after Antoine's wolf was shot, not within weeks.
The Beast of Gévaudan CR-0049 · Corrected
The claim that ninety-nine wolves were destroyed in Gévaudan in a single year has been removed as unconfirmed, and the royal bounty and Antoine's reward are no longer given as exact sums.
The Beast of Exmoor CR-0050 · Corrected
The Warwick University test was on a deer killed at Woodchester Park, Gloucestershire, in 2012; the file previously read as if it were an Exmoor kill. The 450 tests were PCR tests, and the seal identification no longer claims to rest on samples.
The Nandi bear CR-0052 · Corrected
The Lancet only mentioned the footprint diagram rather than reviewing it, and the title no longer claims every scientist said hyena: Simpson, for one, said ratel.
The mande barung CR-0057 · Corrected
The record now refers to a district study announced in 2007 whose results were never published; the file previously described a late-1990s state probe, of which no trace was found, and a forester's sighting in 2003.
The kawekaweau CR-0060 · Corrected
The verdict on the specimen's origin is softened from rejected to doubted: the 2023 DNA study found New Caledonia most likely, without ruling out New Zealand. A disputed bone found in New Zealand is now acknowledged.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
The verdict is now prank claimed but unproven, rated C and open, rather than explained at D: the prank account has never been proved, and the children's account was never withdrawn.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
The search on 19 July was by police officers and the county rescue squad, about two dozen men, not a twenty-man posse walking the hill three times.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
A patrolman's 'no substantial evidence' remark and the bear-and-carcass theory have been removed as untraceable; Chief Ward himself suggested at the time that children were making the noises.
Momo CR-0062 · Corrected
The note no longer mentions a Momoburger or a Six Flags ride, neither of which could be verified.
Momo CR-0062 · Sources
The source on file is now the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of 20 July 1972, replacing a UPI dispatch cited through a fan-site link that no longer works.
The Minnesota Iceman CR-0063 · Corrected
The Secretary's letter to the FBI is no longer said to have gone nowhere: by a later newspaper account, the FBI and the county sheriff were satisfied there was no corpse.
The Minnesota Iceman CR-0063 · Sources
The source on file is now the Smithsonian Institution Archives' own copy of the Torch for June 1969, rather than a podcast page reproducing it.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The witnesses are now the crew working the road; the file previously gave thirty men, a figure with no source.
Bigfoot CR-0065 · Corrected
The family's claim that Wallace made the tracks is now marked as coming after his death, with his lifelong denial noted; their reported claim that he faked evidence with bison hair has been removed.
Sasquatch CR-0066 · Corrected
The Salish term behind the word is now glossed as wild man or hairy man; the file previously gave wild man alone.
The Sasquatch Ordinance CR-0067 · Corrected
The 1969 ordinance is now described as protecting sasquatch from being killed, not quoted in a later paraphrase's words. The reprint with an affidavit of publication is now 'the usual account', no longer listed as evidence.
The Bossburg Tracks CR-0068 · Corrected
The first tracks, in November 1969, were in soft ground; the trackway of more than a thousand prints, weeks later, was in snow. The file previously put both in snow.
The Bossburg Tracks CR-0068 · Corrected
The anthropologist argued that the crippled foot's bone structure was too anatomically consistent to invent; the file previously said he relied on fine ridge detail, which belongs to other, later casts.
The Bossburg Tracks CR-0068 · Sources
The source on file is now a HistoryLink essay rather than a Wikipedia article.
The Skookum Cast CR-0069 · Corrected
The hair recovered was mostly elk, with some human hair and one disputed sample; the file previously said it was reported as elk. Several specialists, Jeff Meldrum among them, backed the biped reading, not two.
The Skookum Cast CR-0069 · Sources
The source on file is now Skeptoid's 2014 episode on the cast, replacing a newspaper and book citation linked through an encyclopedia article.
The Myakka Photographs CR-0070 · Corrected
The encounter is now dated late September or early October 2000, at her back porch rather than in the yard; December was when the photographs and letter arrived.
The Myakka Photographs CR-0070 · Corrected
She said the animal stood up after the second flash; the file previously said she stayed long enough to take a second picture. 'No follow-up' now applies only to the sheriff's office, as independent researchers did follow up.
The Officer Reports CR-0071 · Corrected
The officer described the figure's hair as brown; the file previously called it amber-coloured, which was another investigator's word.
The Candidate Fossil CR-0072 · Corrected
The ape that survived as the forests opened up is now identified as the orangutan line; the file previously called it Gigantopithecus's close relative, a species that is itself extinct.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Corrected
That the film-maker's widow disowned her son for wanting to call the film a hoax now rests on one account and is marked as such; it was previously stated as fact.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Corrected
Bob Gimlin is now said to have long maintained the film was real; the file previously said he was still alive, which could not be confirmed after March 2026.
The Patterson–Gimlin Film CR-0073 · Sources
The source on file is now a Times-Standard report of March 2026 on the documentary, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
His signed 1947 statement for the Army Air Forces calls the objects completely round; the crescents come from later accounts. The file previously said he drew them as crescents for the Army Air Forces.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
The evidence now includes his signed statement and sketch and the Air Force file, and the C rating no longer rests on the press record alone.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Corrected
The counter-reading now records that the record card says mirage and that Ruppelt says the case was marked unknown; the file previously offered a misjudged speed, birds or a meteor.
Kenneth Arnold, Mount Rainier NW-0001 · Sources
The source on file is now Kenneth Arnold's Project Blue Book file rather than an encyclopedia article.
Lakenheath–Bentwaters NW-0005 · Corrected
Only the 1956 teletype has a pilot seeing a light, and the Venom crews traced later denied any visual contact; the file previously said observers in the air saw the object. No radar plots survive.
Lakenheath–Bentwaters NW-0005 · Sources
The source on file is now the Condon Committee's report on the case rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The object sat about forty metres beyond the fence, not a hundred metres off the verge.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The same month's other reports came from Bahía Blanca's civil airport and from pilots at Espora, a naval air base; the file previously described Espora as an air base.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The evidence is now reported burnt grass, with soil analysed by the Universidad Nacional del Sur; the file previously cited a page-one photograph taken nine days later.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Corrected
The note no longer cites a 1965 scramble of three Meteors, since the research on that case found no scramble took place.
The Route 35 encounter NW-0007 · Sources
The source on file is now a 2021 DIB article on the May 1962 Bahía Blanca wave rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Buenos Aires lights NW-0008 · Corrected
The verdict is now explained, probably Venus and Mercury, rated D rather than unresolved at B: the planets' positions and setting times that evening match the reports, as Victorio Uranga identified.
The Buenos Aires lights NW-0008 · Corrected
The three Gloster Meteors were already on night exercises and were asked to look; there was no scramble from Morón, as the file previously said. The title and subject have changed to match.
The Buenos Aires lights NW-0008 · Corrected
Two lights hung low at dusk for about fifteen minutes, then turned north-west and faded; the file previously gave two discs for ten minutes, leaving at high speed. No Air Force file survives.
The Buenos Aires lights NW-0008 · Sources
The source on file is now El Litoral of 17 July 1965, carrying the UPI dispatches, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The incident is dated 20 May 1967; the file previously gave 19 May.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
He told an RCMP constable the same afternoon, not the next day.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Corrected
The burn was a patch that only later showed as a grid of sores, and the record is medical records and the shirt; the file previously described a grid burned in at once and hospital images, which are unsupported.
Falcon Lake, Manitoba NW-0010 · Sources
The source on file is now the RCMP report of 26 May 1967, from Library and Archives Canada, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Shag Harbour NW-0011 · Corrected
Air Canada 305 was over southern Quebec when its crew reported a lit object, and the Condon Committee judged that sighting unrelated; the file previously placed it over the water, with two silent explosions.
Shag Harbour NW-0011 · Sources
The source on file is now Library and Archives Canada's Shag Harbour records rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Tehran intercept NW-0012 · Corrected
The witnesses no longer include an air traffic controller or a general watching from his balcony, neither found in the primary record; the first reports came from citizens who telephoned the air force command post.
The Tehran intercept NW-0012 · Corrected
The object is now said to have pulled away and held its distance as the jets closed; the file previously said it outpaced them even at Mach 2, which no primary source supports.
The Tehran intercept NW-0012 · Sources
The source on file is now the Defense Intelligence Agency's own copy of the 1976 teletype, in its reading room, rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Petrozavodsk phenomenon NW-0013 · Corrected
The reports came from Pskov and Estonia to the White Sea, with one from the Black Sea coast; the file previously said Copenhagen and Helsinki to Vladivostok, with 48 objects logged, neither found in primary sources.
The Petrozavodsk phenomenon NW-0013 · Sources
The source on file is now the USSR Academy of Sciences report of 20 October 1977, in Russian, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The released file records a team without consensus, not a finding that no unusual phenomena were found, a line that appears only in secondary accounts. The title is now The Operation Without a Verdict.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Corrected
The operation ran as two field phases between October and December 1977, not four months.
Operation Prato NW-0014 · Sources
The source on file is now Folha de S.Paulo's 2009 report on the released intelligence-service file rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Corrected
The document at the United Nations was a government science briefing submitted in January 1979; the file previously said New Zealand's UN mission filed it. The film's length, given as nine minutes, has been dropped as unsourced.
The Kaikōura lights NW-0015 · Sources
The source on file is now RNZ's 2021 report on the released government documents rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The rating is now B rather than A: the 1979 investigation found that no radar ever held a confirmed contact, and the three 'returns' at Manises were lights seen from the ground.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The lights kept pace about half a mile from the airliner, not half a kilometre.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Corrected
The 1979 investigator wrote that the lights' origin could not be determined; later proposals include stars, a refinery flare and a US aircraft.
The Manises incident NW-0016 · Sources
The source on file is now the Spanish Air Force file, declassified in 1994, in the Defence Ministry's virtual library, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The Halt tape runs about eighteen minutes, not ninety.
Rendlesham Forest NW-0017 · Corrected
The MoD's file is at the National Archives; what was lost were defence-intelligence sighting files for 1980–82, most of whose content survives in it. The file previously said the case file was missing its key pages.
Trans-en-Provence NW-0018 · Corrected
GEPAN's 1983 analysis found mechanical compression and heating of no more than 600 °C; the four-to-five-tonne figure was a later estimate, not GEPAN's. The file also previously described two years of joint investigation.
Trans-en-Provence NW-0018 · Corrected
The marks were on a terrace reached by a dirt track, not an active road, and the counter-reading is now a vehicle's or cement mixer's marks.
Trans-en-Provence NW-0018 · Sources
The source on file is now GEPAN's Technical Note 16 of 1983 rather than an encyclopedia article.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The aircraft that tried to close on the lights was an executive aircraft, not a civil airliner, and is no longer said to have been flown by Embraer's founder. The 22:27 scramble time has been dropped as unconfirmed.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Corrected
The report the Minister promised was delivered within thirty days and stayed classified until 2009; the file previously said the file closed quietly.
Brazil’s UFO night NW-0020 · Sources
The source on file is now the Brazilian Air Force's report of 2 June 1986, at the Arquivo Nacional, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The verdict is now contested and open rather than explained: the FAA put the radar returns down to a split image and clutter, but Klass himself replaced his bright-planets reading of the lights with moonlight on ice crystals.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Corrected
The objects followed the aircraft about 560 kilometres, 350 miles in the FAA's record; the file previously gave the press figure of 640 kilometres.
Japan Air Lines 1628 NW-0021 · Sources
The source on file is now the FAA Anchorage memorandum and chronology of 18 December 1986 rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Corrected
The 143 reports and three gendarme patrols belong to the wave's first night, 29 November 1989 at Eupen, not the March 1990 intercept; the note's date of 29 November 1990 is corrected to 1989.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Corrected
In nine attempts the F-16s achieved three brief radar locks while the ground radars repeatedly lost the contact; the file previously said they held lock repeatedly, confirmed by the ground stations.
The Belgian wave NW-0022 · Sources
The source on file is now an archived English translation of the Belgian Air Force report rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Calvine photograph NW-0023 · Corrected
The leading counter-reading is now a hoax staged in front of the camera, such as a suspended object or a reflection, with a classified aircraft argued by others; the file previously gave an aircraft or tanker misperception.
The Calvine photograph NW-0023 · Corrected
The two men were sheltering under trees; the file previously said they were sheltering from rain.
The Calvine photograph NW-0023 · Sources
The source on file is now Andrew Robinson's 2022 analysis of the recovered print, at Sheffield Hallam University, rather than an encyclopedia article.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
A single fireball two days earlier had put the subject on the radio, not two days of fireball reports.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
The children were interviewed by several researchers and broadcasters, not two, and their drawings are now listed as evidence.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Corrected
The figures' warning about the environment, given by thought, comes from later interviews with the psychiatrist John Mack; the file previously presented it as part of the first reports.
Ariel School NW-0024 · Sources
The source on file is now a Mail & Guardian article of September 2014 rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
The Defence Secretary gave the tape to a journalist, who released it; the file previously said the Defence Department released it with a press statement.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Corrected
Oil-platform flares are now the leading rather than the accepted explanation: independent analysts argued it, and the Defence Department never adopted it.
The Campeche lights NW-0026 · Sources
The source on file is now James C. Smith's eSkeptic analysis of July 2004 rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Chilean infrared case NW-0028 · Corrected
The status is now contested rather than unresolved: Iberia flight IB6830, on radar and in ADS-B logs, is proposed as the object, with its contrail as the plume. The file previously said no return matched it.
The Chilean infrared case NW-0028 · Corrected
The reading above 50 °C was for the object itself, not for the plume it released.
The Khartoum object NW-0029 · Corrected
The object is now identified, on Marco Langbroek's published reconstruction, as the Falcon 9 upper stage from the Zuma launch, venting fuel; the file previously called it a possible satellite with no tracking data published. The title has changed to match.
The Khartoum object NW-0029 · Corrected
The army was only reported to say it could not identify the object; the file previously had the military naming a satellite. An airline pilot's photographs are now listed as evidence.
The Khartoum object NW-0029 · Sources
The source on file is now Marco Langbroek's SatTrackCam analysis of January 2018 rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Corrected
The Ladakh border reports date from 2013, not the same year, and no official body has named a balloon; the file previously called a balloon probably right. A balloon or drone is now only the default answer.
The Imphal airport sighting NW-0030 · Sources
The source on file is now the Civil Aviation Ministry's December 2023 answer to a Lok Sabha question rather than an encyclopedia article.
The USS Nimitz encounter NW-0034 · Corrected
Only David Fravor testified under oath in 2023; the file previously said the aircrew did.
The USS Nimitz encounter NW-0034 · Corrected
The FLIR tape was recorded on a separate sortie afterwards, not minutes later.
The USS Nimitz encounter NW-0034 · Corrected
AARO has published no resolution of the case; the file previously said it still lists it as unresolved. The radar descents are now given as from about eighty thousand feet to twenty thousand, without the 'under a second'.
The USS Nimitz encounter NW-0034 · Sources
The source on file is now Fravor's own statement to the House Oversight Committee of July 2023 rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Corrected
The verdict is now split, GoFast explained and Gimbal open: AARO addressed only GoFast, as parallax, and has published nothing on Gimbal. The file previously treated both as explained by AARO.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Corrected
GoFast was released in March 2018; only Gimbal came out with the 2017 New York Times story.
The Gimbal and GoFast clips NW-0035 · Sources
The source on file is now the transcript of the November 2024 Senate hearing rather than a news report of it.
The San Diego swarm NW-0036 · Corrected
The drones were identified by the Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence in 2022, not by AARO, and no official source called them balloons. The sphere filmed from USS Omaha has no official explanation.
The Zamora encounter NW-0037 · Corrected
Lonnie Zamora was a police officer, not a sergeant.
The Zamora encounter NW-0037 · Corrected
An FBI agent saw the site that evening and the local newspaper's editor photographed it the next morning; the file previously said investigators photographed it within hours.
The Zamora encounter NW-0037 · Corrected
Hynek, arriving days later, vouched for Zamora but found the site told him little; the file previously said he found the trace real. The FBI's part is now described as a memo, not an investigation.
The Zamora encounter NW-0037 · Sources
The source on file is now the FBI's own memorandum of May 1964, from the official US government release, rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
His first statement described a craft like a rugby ball, with one figure beside it and one inside; the file previously said a sphere on legs with two figures beside it.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Corrected
The pointed object and his paralysis appear only in a later statement, in August; the file previously gave them as part of the original account. His wife's remark about hallowed ground has been removed as untraceable.
The Valensole encounter NW-0038 · Sources
The source on file is now GEIPAN's case file, with the gendarmerie reports, rather than an encyclopedia article.
The Broad Haven school sighting NW-0039 · Corrected
The drawings were collected after the weekend, not the same day, and were much alike with small variations; the file previously said they agreed only on a cigar shape.
The Broad Haven school sighting NW-0039 · Corrected
There is an official file: the drawings went to the Ministry of Defence, the RAF Police made inquiries, and the file was released in 2006. The file previously said no official body was involved.
Caso Collahuasi NW-0040 · Corrected
'Not made by man' was a 2015 press headline, which CEFAA said twisted its words; CEFAA concluded in 2014 only that the object could be classed as a UFO. The title has changed from Not Made by Man.
Caso Collahuasi NW-0040 · Corrected
The workers saw the object in a single observation of one to two hours, not over a period of days.
