Editorial standards

NHI Anomalous covers Non-Human Intelligence disclosure, the physics of unidentified aerial phenomena, the historical incident record, and the named cases — abduction, encounter, paranormal-adjacent — that have refused to leave the canon.

We have three rules.

1. Sources or it didn't happen

Every claim of fact carries an inline source link. We prefer primary documents — declassified files, hearing transcripts, peer-reviewed papers, court filings — over commentary about them. When we cite commentary, we say it's commentary.

2. Witnesses are people

We treat witnesses with the same seriousness as we would any other primary source. We don't mock them. We also don't deify them. We say what they said, when they said it, what they didn't say, and what else was happening around them. The reader decides.

3. The boring version goes in

If a case has a credible mundane explanation, we include it. If a case has been retracted, we mark it retracted. If a case is famous and almost certainly a hoax, we still cover it — labeled clearly — because the cultural record of the hoax matters too.

Disclosure vocabulary

We use the term Non-Human Intelligence following its usage in the 2023 Schumer–Rounds amendment, and now in U.S. federal law. The term brackets the question of origin (extraterrestrial, interdimensional, or otherwise) and focuses on agency. We try to use UAP ("Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena") rather than the legacy UFO, except where the historical record uses the latter.

Things we don't do

• We don't sell certainty we don't have.
• We don't paywall sources.
• We don't run sponsored content as editorial.
• We don't predict the date of disclosure. We watch for it.
