Helping Readers Make Sense of the Strange Subject of UAP -- Plus Pentagon Releases Its UAP Tranche 4
First the News: The Government of the United States released its fourth tranche of UAP-related documents and images. Some of the new data and its historical context, to put it mildly, are startling. Click here to find the latest from the Pentagon.
The images and videos released show a number of truly odd objects, even for UFOs, including what’s being termed “The Brain.” Shown in the photo below, the white spherical object directly above the larger UAP may have a connection with the big thing.

Now on to the Reader’s Index to The Residium. Click on the link to open the article. These narratives are the facts as I have found. They also include the sources for the information.
It is my hope that the articles serve as a primer or a survey of the UAP field. One goal is to make the information easier to find. Being a journalist, I also want Readers to remember. Thus, the complex information is presented in narrative form.
