The pitch

Odd Orbit is a free, phone-first 3D globe that shows the planet live: earthquakes, planes, wind and weather, the ISS and satellites, the aurora, fires and the night side. Then, when you want it, there's Mystery mode: 100,000+ UFO reports (NUFORC in the US, GEP e.V. in Germany), 4,000+ BFRO Bigfoot reports, and hand-picked pins for cryptid folklore, bunkers, ley lines, ancient sites and internet legends. Every pin is labeled honestly as a report, rumor, folklore or fiction. Flip on Creepy Mode for Halloween and the whole globe turns into a retro green CRT screen with an internet-legends layer. It runs in the browser, with no ads, no accounts and no tracking.

Mystery: 101,552 UFO reports, 1925–2025 (NUFORC, US; GEP e.V., Germany) · 4,045 BFRO Bigfoot reports · cryptid folklore, bunkers (confirmed vs. rumor), ley lines, ancient sites · caves and old mines (OpenStreetMap) · "411 glow" mood meter (folklore mode, not a prediction).

Folklore, not fact

Odd Orbit shows what people have reported and the stories they tell, not proof. Mystery content is labeled "reports, rumor, folklore & fiction. Not verified fact." UFO and Bigfoot entries are unverified witness reports at approximate locations, each linked to its source. Please describe it as "a map of legends and reports."
