UAP evidence is a stack. A video is not the same thing as a mission report. A witness statement is not the same thing as radar. A rendered reconstruction is not the same thing as original footage. An analysis companion is not the same thing as a source.
This guide teaches the stack. It is the practical partner to [C74 - Beginner's Guide to the UAP Topic](/?open=Release_2%2FAnalysis%2FC74-Beginners-Guide-to-the-UAP-Topic.md): less "what is this whole subject?" and more "what am I looking at, and how much weight can it carry?"
The cover image is a telemetry-style observation stack used as a teaching visual for layered review. It is an analysis image, not independent source proof.
