About Redacted Skies
Classification: PUBLIC // CLEARANCE: ANYONE
Redacted Skies is a static site for people who like their conspiracy aesthetic with a smile. We explore the idea that aliens are real and existent — as culture, as story, as a delicious “what if” — without punching down on real people or pretending we hold a master key to the hangar.
The brand
- Name: Redacted Skies
- Tone: Intriguing, slightly tongue-in-cheek, declassified-file chic
- Thesis: The skies aren’t empty
- Promise: Entertainment first; speculation labeled; no real secrets claimed
What this is
A VitePress-powered archive of sample dossiers, crash-site daydreams, a disclosure timeline, and a Sources desk for real external articles. Built to deploy as static HTML — no API, no login, no tracking of your clearance level.
Fictional files and real press live in separate folders. Sources pages summarize published reporting and link out; they do not republish full articles.
What this isn’t
- Not investigative journalism (Sources summarizes others’ reporting)
- Not a dump of real classified material
- Not a place that targets private individuals
- Not mean-spirited
