The mirror
Every state that tracks these objects decides they belong to its rival. Sweden blamed Moscow, Moscow suspected Washington, Iran's Air Force concluded the lights over its reactors were American, and the US now records objects shadowing its own operations in the same Gulf. Today China, Taiwan, Korea and Europe call them drones and point at a neighbour.
The voices it opens with
Before UAP Trail says a word, the video lets others speak. Each clip is linked at its second in the video.
Sannolikt … ryssarna som skjuter in sig på Stockholm från Ösel. (Probably the Russians firing at Stockholm from Ösel.)
After six years: man-made, and American.

The claim, in UAP Trail’s words
“For eighty years each side has filed these objects under the other side's name; in the Gulf the two files describe the same skies.”

How it split
The central claim drawn as a tree. Each branch is a part of the story that went its own way, splitting at UAP Trail’s turning points. Line weight is UAP Trail’s sense of how much each branch holds. Click a branch, a fork or a dot.

What carries it
Every event in the narrative, sorted by what it rests on. The on-record events are the skeleton; the rest is what UAP Trail hangs on it.
Why it matters
The Gulf is where the nuclear connection lives now: Iran's pilots chased lights over Bushehr in 2004, and a US crew filmed one off Bushehr in 2020. See The nuclear connection.
