Our Mission
The Groom Lake Times covers UAP disclosure with editorial perspective.
We're not neutral observers pretending we don't have opinions. We're journalists who've been following this story for years, and we think you deserve coverage that treats the subject — and you — seriously.
We do the work. We verify sources. We correct our mistakes. And we tell you what we think it means.
The name? Groom Lake is the dry lake bed where Area 51 sits. For decades, the government said it didn't exist. Now they admit it does, but won't say what's there.
Sound familiar?
We're the paper of record for the unrecorded.
Our Approach
We believe the UAP story is one of the most important stories of our time — and that it deserves coverage that matches its significance.
That means taking it seriously without taking ourselves too seriously. It means having the confidence to state our editorial position while maintaining the integrity to separate opinion from reporting. It means being transparent about what we know, what we don't know, and what we think.
What We Cover
Disclosure Watch
The institutional disclosure process. Government activity, policy developments, and official statements on UAP. This is our hard news pillar. What we cover: Congressional hearings, legislation, and UAP caucus activity. Pentagon and AARO reports, statements, and policy changes. Whistleblower claims and corroboration. FOIA releases, lawsuits, and classification battles. International government disclosures. The question we answer: What did the government say or do this week?
Evidence
Cases, footage, and scientific analysis. The actual sightings, data, and research that form the evidentiary foundation of the UAP conversation. What we cover: Historical case files (Nimitz, Phoenix Lights, Rendlesham). New sightings worth attention (verified, not viral noise). Video and photo analysis with technical breakdowns. Scientific studies (peer-reviewed, Galileo Project, SCU). Patterns and trends across incidents. The question we answer: What is the actual evidence?
Players
Who is who in disclosure. The people and organizations shaping the conversation. Your insider guide to the cast of characters. What we cover: Key figures with profiles, credibility assessments, and track records. Organizations like MUFON, SCU, Galileo Project, and Sol Foundation. The media landscape and who covers this well versus who does not. Bad actors, grifters, and disinfo spreaders to avoid. The question we answer: Who should I trust? Who should I ignore?
Culture
The bigger picture. History, philosophy, and cultural context that helps make sense of the phenomenon and our reaction to it. What we cover: UAP history and how we got here with key moments. Philosophy including what contact would mean, the Fermi paradox, and implications. Pop culture through movies, books, and how culture reflects and shapes perception. Psychology exploring why people believe, why they do not, and the stigma problem. The question we answer: What does this all mean?
Redacted
The suppression beat. What is being hidden and why. This is our adversarial journalism pillar. What we cover: Classification abuse, FOIA denials, and missing records. Media failures and mainstream coverage critique. Disinformation including active measures and debunking debunkers. Institutional resistance to transparency. The question we answer: What are they not telling us?
Editorial Standards
We clearly label opinion and analysis, distinguishing it from factual reporting. When we get something wrong, we issue corrections promptly and transparently.
We protect our sources. We don't publish unverified claims without labeling them as such. We hold ourselves to the same standards we'd apply to any serious beat.
