I recently launched a new website and free mobile app that tracks Google searches for “I saw a UAP / UFO,” “report a UAP / UFO sighting,” and plots those searches to a heat-map of the US in real-time.
I posted about this UAP sighting tracker a few months ago, and you all had some great feedback. I incorporated a lot of this feedback into this next iteration of the UAP sighting tracker, a big update, which I’m very happy to share.
UAP sighting tracker is now called “Above Us".
Website:
Mobile App:
(coming to Android soon)
*the best experience is via the mobile app. The next best experience is using the website on mobile. The website on desktop is currently a bit slow (working on it!)
Some of your feedback that’s been incorporated:
Overlay of nuclear sites
Overlay of military sites
Incorporate a slider function with date (so sightings change as the slider is moved, or “plays”)
Push notifications of sightings based on user location
Better mobile experience / mobile app
Some other new features:
Sightings data changes depending on sightings in view
24 hour / 7 day / 30 day / 60 day / year toggle
Time of sighting data

(*the reason this is US only, is I pay Google for every ad click that drives the data. Each expanded territory beyond US costs ~$500 per month)
(whether someone clicks an ad or not, the data still populates. It populates upon the impression (search being conducted, NOT the ad click))
I get this data by running Google Ads for the searches “I saw a UAP/UFO / report a UAP/UFO”. I pay for each ad click.
Some functions that are still in the works (quite a heavy lift):
Normalize data to population
Expand beyond the US (costs to run this in the US run about $500 per month. Worldwide would run four figures per month).

This method of tracking UAP/UFO sightings is unmatched in terms of speed, volume, and privacy (Above Us doesn’t rely on sighting reports, which are often slow, and discrepant with actual sightings).
This site and app is meant for those interested in tracking the movements of UAPs, but I hope anyone can get something out of it!
