Solar Storm layer: live NOAA radio-fade glow on the sunlit side, a G0–G5 storm badge with Kp and the latest solar flare (it pulses for G3+ or M5+ flares), and NOAA alerts in plain words
New WX layers on the Live tab: Clouds (GOES GeoColor), US radar (NOAA nowCOAST) and Storms (NWS severe warnings + NHC hurricane cones)
Famous UFO cases on the UFO layer: Roswell, the Phoenix Lights, Pascagoula, Falkville, the Coyne helicopter, Loch Raven Dam, Rendlesham Forest, Shag Harbour and the Nimitz "Tic Tac", each a labeled REPORT with a short summary and a reference link
The Odd Orbit Dot: our own GCP-inspired glowing dot in Fringe signals, read live from NIST's public randomness beacon. Fringe fun, not science
411 glow now also reacts to live NWS severe warnings, NHC hurricane cones and the geomagnetic storm level (that last one is a fringe claim). Still folklore, not a prediction or safety tool
Fringe signals card in the Mystery tab: the Global Consciousness Project dot and the Schumann resonance, explained and linked, not embedded

New ringed-planet logo and brand refresh
Optional tip jar (Ko-fi) so hosting stays free for everyone
Search has its own button; Enter picks the top city
Smoother Mystery tab: UFOs on by default, wind arrows hide, KEY sheet for the legend
Date filters for reports: All, Since 2000, Last 10 years, 2020 and later
~101,000 UFO reports spanning 1925–2025 (NUFORC US + GEP Germany)
Faster loading, security headers, and a clearer privacy policy
Anonymous error reporting (Sentry, errors only — no tracking)
