What was reported. The document describes an unacknowledged special access program under the Air Force that allegedly compartmentalises UAP data, including high-quality imagery from military sensors, and categorises objects such as metallic orbs and large triangles. It names no witnesses and carries no classification markings. (FACT about the document; SPECULATION about the world.)
What the corpus adds. Shellenberger says in the corpus that someone came to him with the report; the host notes Elizondo's "can neither confirm nor deny" when asked about it at the hearing. (FACT about testimony.)
Explanations offered. An authentic leak, a composite written from public sources, or a fabrication; no independent confirmation exists. (INFERENCE.)
