This is made possible by serving Google Ads to searchers—whether they click the ad or not, their data is plotted to the app, while being washed of all personal identifiers. This method of tracking UAP/UFO sightings is unmatched in terms of speed, volume, and privacy (this app doesn’t rely on sighting reports, which are often slow, and discrepant with actual sightings). Searches are currently tracked across the 10,000 most-populated US cities. Each sighting marker on the map represents aggregate data for that specific date / date-range.
