Source register
Every sighting record must point back to a source.
This register links every public HEDHub sighting record to its source or source context. A source is provenance for review; it is not proof of origin.
The local media file DOD_111764177.mp4 is the clearest public red-orb encounter used on the site. Official source: DVIDS / AARO / FBI source.
Source table
Control rows remain visible because they train the rejection filter and prevent balloons, meteors, aircraft, lanterns or artifacts from entering the verified Foo Fighter phenotype set.
