Across the last seven decades, breakthroughs in aerospace, energy, and anomalous systems have emerged faster than they’ve been understood. Much of this landscape remains fragmented, poorly documented, or shaped by speculation rather than clarity. The Anomalous Systems Intelligence & Reconnaissance Project (ASIRP) exists to change that — to understand and observe, to think clearly and investigate openly, and to explore what others overlook.

What We’re Working On

Open Analytical Exploration

ASIRP’s open analytical exploration empowers a community of citizen researchers to investigate anomalous systems, emerging technologies, and scientific outliers. Through collaborative methods, structured field guides, and accessible analysis, ASIRP enables the public to understand these phenomena for themselves and to chart how they may shape our technological and strategic future.

Forensic Document Examination

We've commissioned independent forensic authentication of the original documents. This process includes materials analysis of the paper stock and ink chemistry to confirm consistency with Soviet-era manufacturing, linguistic review by specialists in 1980s-90s Russian technical and scientific terminology, and provenance verification. Our goal is to establish authentication through multiple independent vectors, ensuring the evidentiary foundation meets rigorous scholarly and investigative standards.

Contextual Cross-Referencing

We are conducting extensive cross-referencing and correlation analysis to situate the Černohajev documents within the broader landscape of Soviet and American advanced aerospace research. This includes building a comprehensive timeline tracing Soviet programs such as Thread-3 (1986–1991) and related directives, mapping institutional connections, and identifying technical and conceptual parallels with US government programs across declassified archives, patent filings, budget allocations, and published technical literature.

Mission & Vision: A new model for understanding the unexplained, rooted in curiosity, clarity, and collective discovery

ASIRP is a public-facing intelligence and reconnaissance initiative dedicated to exploring anomalous systems, emerging technologies, and scientific frontiers. Our mission is to help people think clearly about the unknown, investigate it for themselves, and build a shared understanding of the phenomena and technologies that may shape humanity’s future.

Through open analysis, community-led inquiry, and disciplined field exploration, ASIRP transforms complex signals—historical, scientific, or observational—into accessible insight. We equip individuals with the tools, methods, and frameworks needed to engage directly with frontier research and to participate in the discovery process rather than remain spectators to it.

ASIRP operates under the Černohajev Archive & Research Institute (CARI), drawing on the Černohajev Papers, contemporary research, environmental data, and public observations as the foundation for open, civilian-led exploration. Our work is guided by two core pillars: Intelligence, which provides structured analysis and interpretation; and Reconnaissance, which engages the real world through observation, sensing, and field investigation.

Advancing Understanding & Discovery

While many organizations center advocacy or speculation, ASIRP focuses on a deeper need: clear thinking, disciplined inquiry, and accessible intelligence for the public. Our work is designed to help people explore anomalous systems and emerging technologies with rigor rather than myth.

Our approach advances public understanding by:

  • Clarifying complex phenomena – Transforming scientific, environmental, and historical signals into insights anyone can understand.

  • Strengthening public inquiry – Providing open frameworks, analytical tools, and field methods to support community-led exploration.

  • Reducing ambiguity – Helping citizen researchers distinguish between misinformation, cultural noise, and meaningful technological or anomalous patterns.

  • Equipping future explorers – Offering guides, models, and reconnaissance techniques to support hands-on investigation and discovery.

We combine open-source intelligence, structured analysis, and real-world reconnaissance into a unified approach that empowers people—not institutions—to understand what’s emerging on the scientific and technological frontier.

Our purpose is simple.
Provide clear tools and evidence-based insight that help people ask better questions and make sense of the unknown.

The ASIRP Journal

The ASIRP Journal is the institute’s flagship publication — a platform for frontier intelligence, analytical exploration, and original research on anomalous systems and emerging technologies.

It showcases disciplined thinking, field-driven insight, and rigorous interpretation across the scientific and anomalous landscape.

Journal articles blend structured analysis, technological commentary, environmental and observational studies, and conceptual exploration. Each piece contributes to a growing body of public knowledge designed to help readers understand the unknown with clarity and rigor.

Credibility & Conduct Scorecard

In a space clouded by speculation, personality, and politics, ASIRP brings measurable standards to the conversation. Our Accountability Scorecards evaluate politicians, institutions, and media figures based on the quality of their actions — not their visibility.

We track clarity of communication, evidence-based methodology, legislative impact, openness, and innovation — while deducting points for sensationalism, gatekeeping, conspiracy rhetoric, and empty promises.

The result is a clear, data-driven benchmark of who is advancing disclosure and oversight — and who is holding it back.

Explore the Scorecard

The ASIRP Scorecards are not a ranking of popularity. They are a reflection of integrity, discipline, and impact — a new standard for a field that demands better.
