In November of 2022 the then-VP of Growth for Enigma Labs, at that time a new startup, reached out to the moderators of r/UFOs via modmail. Their goal was to have an Enigma Labs sighting submission page linked in the r/UFOs subreddit sidebar. Since Enigma Labs was relatively unknown at the time, the mods requested more information about Enigma Labs. This led to Enigma Labs offering a walkthrough of their not-yet-public website, which required participating individuals to sign an NDA. This is standard for tech startups, the purpose of which is to prevent Intellectual Property from leaking to competition.
In January 2023, a few mods participated in a Zoom meeting in order to see a demo of Enigma Labs’ website. That website is now public, and no longer under NDA.
The mod team decided against including an Enigma Labs link in the sidebar due to unanswered questions about the transparency of the company, its funding sources, and whether sighting reports would remain proprietary or open-source.
