Show HN: Live 3D satellite tracker and the declassified Pentagon UFO archive

saaaaaam

So much breathless AI verbiage on the page and yet I still can’t work out what this is meant to do.

Nice site. Funny how some are zipping around just as fruit flies and other extremely small insects do. I'm still patiently waiting for someone to upload 4K videos of UAPs that are in-focus. We're in 2026 and still are squinting at white pixel blobs in gray skies or gray pixel blobs in black skies. Example: https://www.dvidshub.net/video/1017793/dow-uap-pr117-unresol...

Man AI has really latched on to this one style of design and it’s really starting to be an immediate nope out for me. It sucks too because I made a product that looks sort of like that in the pre AI era!

Like all crimeflare sites it just gives me an endless captcha loop so I can't view it. I assume there's no alternative way to view it?

Just for once it would be nice to read non-slop copy, eh?

forget the impossibility of light-speed travel once you grasp even a problem as "simple" as cosmic-rays and you still believe living creatures so advanced to overcome all that are bothering with Earth well then I don't know how to deal with that level of stupid automated drones a remote MAYBE (still the problem of lightspeed) but if you believe in aliens visiting you should stick to "flat earth" or any religion how about instead we turn all this enthusiasm into forcing our government to properly fund the Habitable Worlds Observatory Space Telescope (which DOGE now destroyed any hope of happening)

I'll echo the rest, once you've seen a dozen of AI-generated geospatial dashboards, the style is easily recognizable. Starting to wonder if there's some negative feedback loop which makes the LLMs converge toward one distinct style. I've worked in this space for a decade now, and the tools we use (unavailable to the public) rarely look like the ones which LLMs have generated for the past year or two. Also, not saying that there's not any value in these, but every single of these dashboards I've seen suffer from the same thing: Information overload. For whatever reason, the models just absolutely deluge the app with all sorts of features and information.

Too much colors used.

My favourite thing about UAPs is the alleged crashes into Earth. So the aliens managed to solve interstellar travel only to make it here and have their parking sensors fail.
