HERMES

UAP ANALYSIS SYSTEM

Active beta. The corpus is small and growing. The methodology is public and rule-by-rule; every change to it is in the changelog. Public submission opens when the methodology and tooling have been validated against a tier-A calibration set. If you are a tester, your reports go straight into the methodology pipeline. If you are a journalist or a curious visitor, what you see is what we have built — no vapor.

Hermes is here to help. We really want your data, and we bet you’re here because you had an experience that left you with some questions. No, we don’t have answers — but we really want your data, and we want to value your data. We’re here to help you make better data, so that together we can formulate better questions.

The U becomes an I through evidence, not assumption.

If you just saw something

Report what you saw.

You don't need to know what it was. You don't need to be certain. You only need to describe what happened, in your own words, as honestly as you can remember.

Hermes will record your report, check it against conventional explanations (aircraft, satellites, weather, astronomy), and give you a case ID you can come back to. Nothing is published under your name. You can stop at any point.

Hermes is a rule-based triage platform. Every case is scored by an auditable rule catalog against instrumented data sources (TLE orbital propagation, weather, aviation, astronomy). Every audit is reproducible from a published methodology version.

The corpus, the rules, the audits, and the changelog are all open for inspection. Confidence scores describe how thoroughly a case has been checked against conventional explanations — not how likely a given interpretation is to be true.

What Hermes is

An analysis and triage platform for unidentified aerial phenomenon reports.

A rule catalog that checks each case against satellites, aircraft, weather, astronomy, and known reporting-behavior artifacts.

An auditable record: every case has a methodology version, a rule-by-rule verdict, and a cryptographic hash that doesn't change unless the inputs do.

What Hermes is not

Not a judgement about the underlying phenomenon. A high confidence score means the case was thoroughly checked, not that the sighting was real or unreal.

Not a prediction system. We describe reporting conditions and report volume, never "UAP activity."

Not a place that will ridicule you for reporting. Witness accounts are preserved verbatim, even when they describe kinematics (hovering, instantaneous turns) that instruments could not have measured.
