I wanted to see UFO and cryptid reports on a 3d interactive globe and to be able to see any and every piece of mapable data on the same globe such as earthquakes, airplanes, boats, weather, nuclear reporting, solar storms, etc. We've had alot of fun making this site and we still have so many neat ideas, use code HALLOWEEN to test out the done fun modes. Let us know please what you would like to see added to something like this or if you see any bugs! Feed back super welcome!

Could you build this?
Partial The 3D globe and map UI are vibe-codeable, but the product depends on aggregating many live feeds, and the UFO/cryptid and nuclear reporting datasets are harder to source and keep current.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a WebGL globe (e.g., Cesium or deck.gl) fed by a backend that ingests public APIs such as USGS earthquakes, OpenSky flights, AIS vessel data, and space weather feeds. The hard parts are curating and geocoding sighting databases, licensing or scraping restricted feeds, and keeping many streams fresh at low latency, which requires data engineering experience.
