| # War.gov UAP Corpus |
|
|
| This dataset is a provenance-first mirror and source index for public files |
| listed in the U.S. Department of War UAP/UFO release portal. |
|
|
| The goal is to preserve the official War.gov release listing, public source |
| URLs, verified file hashes, byte sizes, and raw source assets before |
| summarization or interpretation is added. |
|
|
| ## Contents |
|
|
| Current contents: |
|
|
| - `sources`: the complete public source index, with one row per public source |
| asset listed or linked by the official War.gov release listing |
| - `mirrored_sources`: rows from `sources` whose raw files are mirrored in this dataset under `raw/` |
| - `releases`: release-level metadata for each public release |
| - `raw/`: uploaded public source assets, organized by release and source kind. |
| Current raw source kinds include `document` (PDFs), `image`, `video`, and `audio` |
|
|
|
|
| ## Sources Table |
|
|
| The `sources` table separates fields by role: |
|
|
| - Official manifest fields: release listing fields such as agency, release |
| date, incident date, incident location, type, title, and description |
| - Source locator fields: official-source-derived URLs and file identity fields |
| such as original URL, download URL, thumbnail URL, filename, and an actual |
| detail URL when one exists. |
| - Collector-added provenance: source id, release number, source kind, SHA-256 |
| hash, byte size, HTTP metadata, and first/last seen timestamps |
| - Hugging Face storage: repository id, path, upload timestamp, and upload commit |
|
|
| Hash and byte-size fields are populated for files that have been downloaded and |
| verified. Indexed-only source rows may leave those fields blank. |
|
|
| Raw files are stored under paths like: |
|
|
| ```text |
| raw/release_01/document/54_38_143685_box7_incident_summaries_1-100.pdf |
| raw/release_01/image/55_38_143685_box7_incident_summaries_1-100.jpg |
| raw/release_01/video/145_5523612-720.mp4 |
| ``` |
|
|
| ## Scope |
|
|
| This dataset currently contains Stage A provenance and raw public assets only. |
| It does not contain OCR text, summaries, entity extraction, geocoding, scoring, |
| claim validation, or conclusions about the contents of the records. |
|
|
| The raw official files are the primary source records. The metadata tables help |
| locate, verify, and organize those files; they should not be treated as |
| interpretations or validation of the files' contents. |
