X-Vault is an independent digital research archive built to make declassified U.S. government records fully searchable and publicly accessible. The archive spans UAP intelligence reports, JFK assassination files, CIA MKUltra documents, FBI COINTELPRO records, and Zodiac Killer case files — all processed through automated OCR ingestion, structured metadata tagging, and AI-assisted search.
The archive is built, managed, and maintained by Christopher Smoot, a software developer with over 20 years of experience in systems architecture and infrastructure. X-Vault is engineered mobile-first to ensure primary source records are accessible on any device, at any connection speed.
Each corpus is also available as a standalone archive:
