The Consortium
A neutral, crowdsourced review of the released US government UFO/UAP files. We don't take a believer or skeptic position — we read what's actually in the documents. Triage, annotate, and transcribe tens of thousands of declassified pages, and earn Clearance for good work.
The Review Loop
Get served a document
The queue prioritizes nearly-unlocked files so the whole corpus gets coverage — not just the famous ones.
Triage & rate
Give a verdict — routine, interesting, needs-expert, or illegible — and rate whether it holds worthwhile info.
Annotate & transcribe
Mark up pages, write a plain-language overview, and transcribe illegible scans.
Earn Clearance
Verifiable work earns points. Leaderboards surface top contributors; weekly leaders get a flag.
The Blind Gate
To prevent anchoring and pile-on, every document's reviews, annotations, and comments stay hidden from everyone but their author until three people have independently reviewed it. Only then does the crowd's work unlock — and later reviewers can build on what came before.
Clearance Tiers
Reputation is Clearance. Do verifiable work — not draw conclusions — and rise through the ranks. (Point values are draft.)
