What we don't use

How it works

This is a static website. Every page is a plain HTML file served directly from our server. When you read an article, no server-side code executes. No database query fires. No profile is built. No session is created.

Even our search runs entirely in your browser. Our fonts are self-hosted. Nothing is loaded from Google, Facebook, Amazon, Cloudflare, or any other third party. When you visit UFOUAP, the only server that knows is ours.

If you submit a sighting report, we receive exactly what you type – nothing else. No IP address, no device info, no metadata.

What this costs us

We have no idea how many people read this site. We don't know which articles are popular. We can't tell where our readers come from, what devices they use, or whether they come back. Every other news site has this data. We chose not to.

We think the tradeoff is worth it. The UFO/UAP topic attracts government attention, and the people reading about it deserve to do so without being watched. If you're a whistleblower, a military service member, a Hill staffer, or just someone who's curious – your visit here is yours alone.

What we can't control

Your internet provider can see that you connected to ufouap.com (they can see this for every website you visit). Your DNS provider resolves the domain. Standard web server logs exist on our hosting provider's infrastructure. We don't use them, but we can't pretend they don't exist.

If this concerns you, a VPN or Tor will handle it. We won't judge – we'd do the same.
