How we cover the unexplained
Our method: report the claim, weigh the evidence, and say what we don't know.
Stories about UFOs, ghosts and monsters are easy to sensationalise. We try to do the opposite. Our approach is simple: we report what was claimed and who claimed it, we look at what evidence actually exists, and we say plainly when that evidence is thin or absent.
Claims are not conclusions
When someone reports an extraordinary experience, that report is real — but it is not, by itself, proof of an extraordinary cause. A light in the sky might be a drone, a planet or an aircraft before it is anything stranger. Where a mundane explanation is plausible, we mention it. Where a mystery genuinely remains open, we say so honestly.
What we will not publish
Curiosity is not an excuse for harm. We do not publish medical misinformation, political conspiracy theories, or claims that target or endanger real people. "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is not just a slogan here — it is the standard we hold ourselves to.
