Sources Desk
Classification: REAL PRESS // CLEARANCE: PUBLIC
EXTERNAL SOURCES
Not fiction — published journalism & science reporting
The Sources desk collects real external articles and outbound links — press clippings, science writeups, and reputable reporting that touch the skies, exoplanets, magnetism, and the hunt for habitable worlds.
These pages are not invented case files. They summarize accurately, link out to the original, and may use light dossier framing (“signal intercepted,” classification stamps) without claiming alien life or inventing facts.
Fictional archives live under Sightings and Crash Sites. Keep them separate.
Open clippings
| Date | Outlet | Title | Takeaway |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-02 | CNN | First radio emission from an exoplanet | Direct auroral radio from Beta Pictoris b — magnetic field, not E.T.; preprint awaiting peer review |
| 2026-09-22 | BBC Sky at Night Magazine | Beta Pictoris b radio signals | First confirmed radio detection from a single exoplanet — auroral/magnetic, not E.T. |
How this desk works
- One markdown page per article (slug from topic).
- Frontmatter: title, date, outlet, author, externalUrl, tags.
- Accurate summary of what researchers/journalists concluded — no alien overclaims.
- Prominent outbound link to the original; never paste the full article.
