DATA / INTERACTIVE WORKBENCH
AI UFO Pattern Lab
Where Analytics presents curated graphs, the Lab lets you interrogate the record yourself: combine attributes, isolate subsets and see what survives scrutiny. Future versions will add AI-assisted clustering and plain-language queries.
MICHA'S DREAM
A lifetime's idea, finally within reach
Years ago, on the original Blogger site, Micha Verg imagined an archive that could hold every case at once and reveal the patterns no single researcher could see. With the computers of the day it seemed a lifetime's labour. AI-assisted analysis makes that dream practical: this is where it begins.

PROTOTYPE · ILLUSTRATIVE SAMPLE RECORDS
12 of 12 sample records · year × hour of day · dot size = witnesses
Lab principles
- Every pattern is shown with its sample size and source list.
- Reporting bias (population, media waves, sensor availability) is flagged, not hidden.
- AI suggests hypotheses; humans test them against primary sources.
