Earliest located means the earliest source UAPverse has found and can point to at an exact place. It is not proof of where the claim began.
A relationship we cannot evidence is marked unknown. Unknown is not independent confirmation, and it is not derivation either.
Confidence here is confidence in the evidence for a relationship between two statements. It says nothing about whether the claim is true or whom to believe.
The claim, as made
Stated neutrally, in the terms the speaker used. Not evaluated for truth.
The Pentagon's notes accompanying PURSUE Release 06 say the AAWSAP Defense Intelligence Reference Documents are best understood as reference and synthesis products rather than original research, and should not be read as implying current validation of the concepts discussed.
Lineage2
Ordered by source date. Each statement shows who said it, where, the exact place in the source, the recorded wording, and how it relates to earlier statements. Corrections, clarifications, disputes and withdrawals sit under the statement they act on.
Basis CBS presents both clauses as the same Pentagon notes on the same DIRDs.

Relationship view
The same statements and relationships as the lineage, drawn as a graph: time runs down the page, every statement is drawn the same size, and each line is labelled with its relationship type. Nothing about position, size or colour ranks a statement or a speaker.

repeated
Says it again in the same or nearly the same words.
quoted
Uses the earlier words in quotation marks.
cited
Points to the earlier statement as its source.
paraphrased
Restates it in different words.
summarized
Shortens it.
amplified
Carries it further or adds emphasis.
asserted independently of

corrected

relationship unknown to
No evidence either way. Not independent, not derived: unknown. This is the default when nothing is recorded.
A relationship we cannot evidence is marked unknown. Unknown is not independent confirmation, and it is not derivation either.
