// EDITORIAL POSITION

UAP Oracle is a civilian intelligence terminal. We do not work for any government, agency, or program. We do not coordinate with the U.S. intelligence community, the U.K. intelligence community, or any other state actor. Our editorial mission: read the documents so the public doesn't have to. Your safety matters more than any single story.

If you are a current or former government employee, contractor, or service member with knowledge of classified UAP-adjacent programs and you are considering speaking publicly, please read the Active Cases page before reaching out. We treat the testimony-thread mechanism as a documented operational pattern, and we will not place a source at additional risk.

// CONTACT METHODS — In Order of Security

1. Signal (Recommended for Primary-Source Material)

Signal is end-to-end encrypted, runs on your phone, and stores nothing on the company's servers beyond account creation timestamp. It is the standard for source protection in modern investigative journalism.

UAP Oracle Signal: Available on request via the email below. We provision Signal usernames per-source — no public Signal handle to reduce surface area for false-flag inbound traffic.

2. Email (Encrypted)

Address: tip@ufooracle.com

Email is not end-to-end encrypted by default. If your information is sensitive, please use PGP. Our public PGP key fingerprint will be posted here once provisioned. Status: PGP key generation pending — do not send sensitive material via email until the key is published below.

3. Public Inbox (Tips We Don't Need to Protect)

Address: justinlees752@gmail.com

For non-sensitive tips, story leads, requests for coverage, FOIA documents that are already public, or general correspondence. Do not send anything sensitive to this address — Gmail metadata is accessible to U.S. legal process.

// WHAT WE LOOK FOR

• Primary-source documents — leaked or FOIA-recovered materials with verifiable provenance.
• First-hand operational testimony — current or former personnel with direct knowledge of UAP-adjacent programs, crash retrievals, classified materials work, or related contractor activity.
• Missing-personnel intelligence — any credible information about the eleven cases tracked on Active Cases, or names not yet on that list who fit the pattern.
• Classified-research adjacency tips — researchers in fusion, plasma, anti-gravity, exotic materials, or aerospace-propulsion fields who have experienced unusual institutional pressure, surveillance, or program reclassification.
• Institutional misconduct — disinformation operations, suppressed-evidence cases, journalism-corruption tips related to UAP coverage.

// WHAT WE DO WITH TIPS

1. Receipt: A human reads every tip within 48 hours. We acknowledge receipt unless you explicitly request no acknowledgement.
2. Initial assessment: We evaluate the credibility tier (primary source / corroborated secondary / unverified single-source).
3. Verification: We attempt independent corroboration via primary-source documents, named-witness contact, and FOIA where applicable. We do not publish based on a single anonymous tip without corroborating evidence.
4. Editorial decision: We decide whether to investigate further, publish, or archive. You will be informed of the decision unless your safety would be compromised by communication.
5. Source protection: If you ask to remain anonymous, we treat that as a binding obligation. We will not name you. We will not describe you in ways that allow identification. We will refuse subpoena, legal process, or informal pressure to identify sources.

// WHAT WE WILL NOT DO

• We will not pay for tips. We do not buy information.
• We will not coordinate with any state-actor intelligence service.
• We will not publish tips that would put a named individual at credible risk of physical harm without first attempting to address that risk through other means (legal counsel, security professionals, etc.).
• We will not publish unverified single-source claims as fact, only as reported claims with appropriate framing.
• We will not retain unencrypted records of communications with anonymous sources beyond what is necessary for verification.

// SECURITY CHECKLIST FOR SOURCES

• Do not contact us from work devices, work networks, or work email accounts.
• Do not search for “UAP Oracle” or related terms on monitored networks.
• Use Tor Browser (torproject.org) for browsing and contact.
• Use Signal from a personal device, not a work device.
• If you handle classified material, do not transmit any classified material to UAP Oracle. We are a civilian publication and cannot receive classified information without exposing both you and us to legal jeopardy. Talk to a cleared whistleblower attorney first — Mark Zaid (cleared whistleblower counsel) and the Government Accountability Project are starting points.
• Consider speaking with the IC Inspector General first if you are an IC employee — that route has documented success (David Grusch, Matthew Sullivan).

// EDITORIAL INTEGRITY STATEMENT

UAP Oracle is currently a one-person editorial operation based in Brisbane, Australia. The publisher is Justin Lees (ABN 72 547 615 871). Source protection commitments are personal, professional, and binding. The publisher will go to legal extremes to protect anonymous sources, including refusing court orders and accepting consequences.

This Tipline page is a starting framework. As UAP Oracle grows, we will build out a SecureDrop instance, publish a PGP key, formalize the editorial protocol, and contract with cleared whistleblower counsel. Until those are in place, this page describes the current state honestly.
