UAP Archive Falls Short of Blockchain Standard for Transparency

The U.S. government has made a significant step towards transparency by releasing a new batch of files on unidentified anomalous phenomena, but experts say it's still not enough.

The release brings together videos, images, and documents from multiple agencies into a single public portal, with more files expected to follow.

However, critics argue that the archive relies on selective disclosure, where the public can access only what has been cleared for release, rather than having certainty about what hasn't been included.

The UAP archive works differently from blockchain networks, which allow users to track transactions and verify balances independently. The government's controlled disclosure approach feels incomplete, even when extensive.
