I can't figure out how to upload an image, but if you look at a NUFORC time series, it spikes in 2006. That's clearly when the web report form came online
Looks like you're missing some of the data, your 2006 spike is not consistent with this graph which doesn't show a 2006 spike. It's hard to identify the years but there may even be a slight decline in 2006, from the 2005 level.

Thank you! That was the help I needed.
Anyways, this is what I'm talking about. This is a daily plot of all the reports in the NUFORC database, accessed at the end of 2020, so there have been a few backdated reports added since then, but nothing major.

Here’s the latest Arb….the article is dated May 20, 2021

...Gen. William Neil McCasland was Director of Special Projects for OUSDAT (Office of the Under Secretary for Defense, Acquisition, and Technology + Logistics) ..... This would have put Gen. William Neil McCasland in the perfect position to know about ALL the Special Access Projects
Also, I will note that William Neil McCasland may in fact be a key to disclosure...
.....According to a 2011 US military handbook, “military deception” operations are those which “deliberately mislead adversary military decision makers about US military capabilities, intentions, and operations.”
After US officers “carefully weigh the likely benefits of a deception operation against a potential short and long-term loss of credibility with the media or local audiences,” they sometimes “support military deception operations designed to preserve operational surprise…” It is unlikely that the government has abandoned this concept in the last decade.
Determining which sources to trust and how much of them to trust is complicated by the very nature of disinformation. If we have trouble concluding the truth about a military deception operation with certainty, then the operation was a success....
