The Strangeness: Sighting Log

The Strangeness is a sighting log for anything odd in the sky or at the edge of the woods. Write it down properly, while it is happening. Memory blurs fast. A day later you won't be sure which way you were facing, what time it was, or whether that light was a plane. The Strangeness records where you were, which way the camera pointed, what the sensors read, and what public data lists overhead at that moment: aircraft, satellites, the Moon and bright planets, and space weather. It tells you what it checked and what it couldn't, and it never says "all clear". Then it helps you pass a clear report to the groups that collect them. ATLAS AND NEAR-ME A dark map of published places and reports: ghost towns, abandoned places, ruins, places with a haunting reputation and documented incidents, with your own captures pinned alongside them (private to your phone). Tap "Anything happened near me?" to see what is within 25 miles. It all runs on your phone, so your location isn't sent anywhere for it. CAMERA WITH A READOUT Photos and video with compass heading (true and magnetic), tilt, GPS, altitude and UTC time drawn over the picture while you film. Save the original to your photo library whenever you like. THE SKY CHECK After a capture, the app looks at what public data lists for that moment: aircraft with transponders, space stations, bright satellites and Starlink, the Moon and bright planets, and geomagnetic activity. It tells you what it checked and what it couldn't. It never says "all clear". A REPORT YOU CAN SEND Write what you saw in your own words, then copy a formatted post for Reddit, a wiki citation, or an email, or open MUFON, NUFORC or the BFRO's own report page with your text ready to paste. The app sends nothing for you. Your location can be blurred to about five miles before you share. INVESTIGATOR (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION) Scan radius up to 100 miles, atlas filters, a local weather report (temperature, dew point, cloud, visibility, and notes on fog, frost and dew), photos and videos with the readout burned in, raw JSON and GPX data, an incident dossier (PDF and ZIP with the original media) and a shareable sighting card. Everything else is free. HONEST ABOUT ITS LIMITS The Strangeness makes no paranormal claims and doesn't verify anything. A listed aircraft or satellite is a possible explanation; an unlisted one is not proof. The atlas is a partial list, and an empty area doesn't mean nothing happened. The questions section explains all of this. PRIVACY No accounts. No tracking. No analytics. Your photos, videos and notes stay on your phone until you share them. The optional sky check sends a rough area (about 17 miles across) to an aircraft data service, and downloads public satellite and space-weather data that includes nothing about you.
