UAP Tools
Metabunk is an international platform where researchers and enthusiasts examine videos, photos, and reports step by step revealing what lies behind the phenomena.
For those who want to examine UFO reports with a more technical and scientific eye, it offers detailed analyses, documentation, and a community of researchers who verify what we are really seeing.
UAP Tracker is a modern online platform designed for monitoring, recording and technical analysis of UFO/UAP sightings in real time.
Its goal is to help researchers correlate each report with known sources (e.g. aircraft, satellites, drones or natural phenomena).
Offers geolocation tools and maps so reports can be accurately located and analyzed quickly.
Heavens Above is one of the most well known online platforms for tracking satellites, space objects, and phenomena in the night sky.
-
It provides real time information on the position and orbit of thousands of satellites, including the International Space Station (ISS).
-
It allows users to see when and where an object will appear in the sky e.g. ISS, Starlink, Iridium flares, comets, etc.
The ADS-B Exchange is one of the most popular and “open” air traffic monitoring platforms in the world. Unlike many commercial services, it relies on volunteers who collect ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast) signals from aircraft in real time.
-
Detailed information for each flight: altitude, speed, aircraft type, route, etc.
-
It does not "filter" military or special flights (unlike other platforms).
-
It has an API and integration capabilities for more technical use.
