| # UFO/UAP corpus — plan & storyboard |
|
|
| Built on the production ingest pipeline — the **same pipeline, same rigor** — against the |
| recently-released UAP/UFO datasets. Branch `ufo-corpus` off `main`. The `infra/`, `ingest/`, |
| `qa/`, and report generators are reused unchanged; only the source corpus, the two question |
| sets, and the dataset/version tags change. |
|
|
| ## Datasets to download — the recent OFFICIAL Pentagon disclosure |
|
|
| Focus: the Department of War **PURSUE** rolling declassification (war.gov/UFO) plus the official |
| AARO/DoD reports. Four PURSUE releases so far: 01 (May 8 2026), 02, 03 (Jun 12 2026), |
| **04 (Jul 10 2026 — the latest)**. |
|
|
| | # | Dataset | Source | Notes | |
| | --- | --- | --- | --- | |
| | 1 | **PURSUE Releases 01–04** — declassified DoW/agency UAP records, transcripts, witness accounts, report cards (1944→2025) | war.gov/UFO (browser-UA scrape on the pod); The Black Vault 2.0 GB zip mirrors Release 01 | The core corpus. ~334 files across the 4 releases | |
| | 2 | **AARO** — Case Resolution Reports, Historical Record Report Vol 1, Information Papers, Reporting Trends | aaro.mil | Per-PDF | |
| | 3 | **ODNI/DoD Annual UAP Reports** — FY2021 Preliminary Assessment, FY2023, FY2024 (757 cases) | media.defense.gov / dni.gov | Direct PDFs | |
| | 4 | **NASA UAP Independent Study Team Report (2023)** | science.nasa.gov | Direct PDF | |
| | 5 | **NARA UAP electronic records** (ODNI, OSD, FAA, NRC) — supporting | archives.gov S3 bulk (~180 MB text zips only) | Text/electronic only; image + microfilm sets excluded | |
|
|
| Known direct URLs (verified): NASA report `science.nasa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/uap-independent-study-team-final-report.pdf`; |
| AARO HRR Vol 1 `media.defense.gov/2024/Mar/08/2003409233/-1/-1/0/DOPSR-2024-0263-AARO-HISTORICAL-RECORD-REPORT-VOLUME-1-2024.PDF`; |
| FY24 report `media.defense.gov/2024/Nov/14/2003583603/-1/-1/0/FY24-CONSOLIDATED-ANNUAL-REPORT-ON-UAP-508.PDF`; |
| ODNI 2021 `dni.gov/files/ODNI/documents/assessments/Prelimary-Assessment-UAP-20210625.pdf`; |
| Black Vault Release 01 zip `documents3.theblackvault.com/documents/UFOFiles/UFOFiles-Release1.zip` (2.0 GB); |
| NARA S3 `s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/bulk-downloads/uaps/zips/electronic-records/{493468580 OSD, 493468575 FAA, 493468579 ODNI, 488808322 NRC}.zip`. |
|
|
| Estimated ~2.5–3 GB, a few thousand dense official pages. Excluded (huge, image/microfilm, not |
| the recent Pentagon text release): NARA still-pictures (Blue Book photos 36 GB) + microfilm (~379 GB). |
|
|
| ## Question storyboard (two sets + refusal probes) |
|
|
| - **RAG-rigor (11):** `qa/questions.txt` — aggregation/counts across annual reports, AARO |
| establishment timeline, per-case object+evidence, sensor modalities, HRR Vol 1 reverse- |
| engineering conclusions, recurring regions/installations, sightings near sensitive sites, |
| the evolving "UAP" definition, most-cited object characteristics, NASA study recommendations, |
| cumulative report counts / yearly trend. |
| - **Community-demand (10):** `qa/questions_community.txt` — evidence of non-human intelligence |
| (or explicit absence), sightings near nuclear sites, unresolved cases, astronaut transcripts, |
| performance beyond known tech, contributing agencies, civilian-aircraft incidents, Blue Book |
| vs AARO, whistleblower/secret-program allegations, most-recent incident. |
| - **Refusal probes (2):** in-domain-unsupported ("home planet/species of the entities") + |
| out-of-corpus (the 2019 UEFA final). Both must be declined. |
|
|
| ## Pipeline (reused) |
|
|
| Same v3.1 stack: xberg + pdf_oxide 0.3.74 extraction → Qwen3-Embedding-8B → LanceDB → |
| parquet/jsonl. Answerer **Mistral-Large-2411** (chosen on the Vectara grounded-faithfulness |
| evidence), judge **Opus 4.8** (independent family). Retrieval on the merged #508 pipeline |
| (feat/kreuzberg-5), served with the ready-env.tar engine. |
| |
| ## Artifacts |
| |
| - **parquet + jsonl** → HF dataset repo **`beeberg/ufo`** (https://huggingface.co/datasets/beeberg/ufo), version-tagged. All UFO artifacts (parquet/jsonl, reports, trace/profile/flamegraph) go here. |
| - **Extraction + defect report** (native-vs-OCR split, latency, pdf_oxide defect scan). |
| - **Resource profile + py-spy flamegraph.** |
| - **Graded Q&A report** (`report2-qa-mistral.{md,pdf}`) + capture + graded JSON, in `reports/ufo/`. |
|
|
| ## Phases |
|
|
| 1. **Setup (this commit):** branch, plan, UFO question sets, refusal probes, download scripts. |
| 2. **Stage corpus (cheap CPU pod):** download all five sources to the network volume → manifest |
| (sizes, file counts, page counts). **CHECKPOINT — review before any GPU spend.** |
| 3. **Ingest (GPU pod):** full ingest → publish parquet/jsonl + extraction/defect report + profile/flamegraph. |
| 4. **QA (GPU pod):** serve + capture 23 questions → grade with Opus → graded report. |
