OddSkies organizes strange public reports. We do not confirm whether reports are real, mistaken, AI-generated, edited, staged, satire, folklore, or jokes.
Counts are real. Conclusions are not.
Source Guidelines
How OddSkies handles strange reports.
Strange reports are interesting. That does not make them confirmed.
This page explains how OddSkies keeps source trails, privacy, and review boundaries intact before weird little signals reach the public map.
How OddSkies handles strange reports without pretending they are confirmed.
Source boundary
Public sources only
OddSkies should only use public source material or user-submitted material shared with permission. Private messages, private accounts, leaked material, personal addresses, and sensitive personal information do not belong here.
Context trail
Source links matter
Whenever possible, each report should point back to the original public source so visitors can review context, timing, comments, edits, and source history themselves.
Source-linked? Always, whenever the source trail exists.
No magic stamp
No automatic truth
Future collectors or AI tools may help classify, summarize, and organize reports. They should not verify claims or declare something alien, paranormal, supernatural, staged, or real.
Privacy
Location privacy
OddSkies should avoid publishing exact private addresses or personal locations. City or region-level locations are preferred unless the place is a public landmark or already public context.
Promise
The OddSkies promise
OddSkies is here for curiosity, patterns, folklore, and weird little signals - not fear, harassment, or fake certainty.
Verified? No. Interesting? Maybe. Source-linked? Always.
What may be filtered
Some weird stays backstage.
OddSkies can be curious without becoming careless. Future review tools may label, filter, or reject material that makes the map less honest or less safe.

Staging rule
Raw internet posts should never go straight onto the public map.
Future collectors should save material into internal staging first. Only reviewed and approved items should become public reports.
