Inquiry in the liminal spaces.

From declassified files to backcountry encounters, ERI investigates what resists easy answers — where science, story, and silence converge.

EXPLORE

We venture into the field, collect stories, investigate sites, and track patterns where others won’t look, from canyon whispers to radar returns.

RESEARCH

ERI documents and analyzes the unexplained with open-source tools, data synthesis, and rigorous investigation, without gatekeeping or denial.

CONNECT

We link science, folklore, witness reports, and historic archives to build new models, bridging disciplines and generations.

AWARENESS

ERI works toward government recognition of the unexplained and broad public awareness, challenging absence with evidence and dialogue.

What We’re Tracking Right Now

ERI is actively investigating a wide spectrum of anomalous phenomena across the Western U.S., including:

  • UAP movement across regional airspace and low-altitude radar activity
  • Cryptid encounters in desert basins, forests, and mountain corridors
  • Patterns of reported hauntings and apparitional phenomena
  • Surviving threads of folklore in high desert and frontier communities
  • Obscure research from early parapsychology and fringe science journals
  • Active monitoring of government behavior around unexplained incidents
