Media · Research & reporting Custom WordPress theme for a research archive — Broken UFO
An archive that reads as rigour, not as noise
Broken UFO · Media · Research & reporting
An intelligence archive on the unexplained. Less hype, more sources.
A digital research archive on anomalous aerial phenomena (UFO/UAP), declassified documents and enigmatic cases, with an 'intelligence unit' identity and a deliberately rigorous approach that rejects sensationalism. Content is structured into files classified by sector, with briefings, a newsletter and a Telegram channel.

Standing out from the usual noise of the genre with a platform that conveyed documentary rigor and a bold, cinematic visual identity.
We built a fully custom WordPress theme with cinematic GSAP + ScrollTrigger animations, an 'intelligence dashboard' style interface, a sector-based file system, subscription channels and GDPR/CCPA compliance.

What happened to Broken UFO after launch
It went from idea to a go-to outlet: a visual identity no one else in the genre has, sub-second load times despite the cinematic animations, and a reader base that comes back every week through briefings, the newsletter and Telegram. The file search turned a blog into a searchable archive.
“We wanted something that didn't look like 'just another UFO website' and they delivered an intelligence unit. Every detail, from the scroll to the files, conveys exactly who we are. The result went well beyond the brief.”
The tech behind Broken UFO
