My Experiences
Record it while it's real.
A private, structured workspace for your contact experiences - the foundation everything else in AlignedContact builds on. Two areas, Experiences and Media, keep your written and visual records side by side.

01 · Capture
Log it while it's real
A single add button opens a structured entry. The essentials come first: when it happened, what type of experience it was, and what you observed - in your own words.

02 · Context
Helpful details
Your interpretation, felt intentionality, your internal state at the time, self-assessed certainty all have a place.

03 · Located
Placed on the map, never pinpointed
Location is recorded as a coarse H3 hex cell of roughly 33,500 square miles. The hex is stored - never a precise location - and it is never shown to other users on your logs. Tagging is only offered in populated areas (5,000+ residents per hex), so a cell can never single anyone out.
Fifteen ways an experience can register
Every entry carries at least one type - how the suspected contact was perceived. Choose everything that applies.
Light or objects in the sky, at a distance
Observed up close or on the ground
Experienced during sleep
Awareness shifted away from the body
Physical sensation in the body
A felt sense of presence or atmosphere
Thoughts arriving without deliberate effort
Speech, writing, or art with reduced control
Understanding without step-by-step reasoning
Perceived through symbols or metaphor
Altered perception of time
The surrounding environment changing
Effects on electronic or mechanical devices
Physical traces or material effects
Described in its own words
How the research map lights up
When you grant research consent for an entry, the public research map increments its count for that hex during that hour. Collective experience becomes visible as it radiates over time - while no individual is ever located. Consented entries may also inform other research.
Notes to researchers stay private
Every entry has a notes field addressed to researchers. It is never displayed publicly - it is visible only to you and to the research team of AlignedContact.
Attaching images and video to an entry is available with a subscription - see Media.
