| 20180704 One of the things most of my colleagues agree on is that genuine UAP reports are rare and most are actually Insufficient Data Cases. Many of us are also convinced that when genuine events do occur, there is a reason. Several colleagues have even documented cause and effect relationships over a period of decades, even the last century. And one scientist even pointed out that we should take advantage of the fact that many times events occur on consecutive days. The activities of the UAP may at times appear to be simple flybys, but these craft are coming from one place and going to another and for some specific reason. At other times a more complex mission may be taking place. Call it what you want, alien or ultra-human behavior may mimic human activities at times. On Nov. 14, 2004; 100 mi out in Pacific from San Diego a major sighting event took place. UAP had "dogged" the aircraft carrier Nimitz and a guided missile cruiser, the U.S.S. Princeton, for two weeks, FA-18's had been dispatched. The full report is available in the 2004 chrono. (See link). Many different types of events took place over those two weeks over a wide area. There was at least one distant night sighting where a radar-verified target was observed through large ship binoculars, at least one closer encounter that involved radar and FA-18 Hornets and a gun camera video(s). These events were real and not simple isolated UAP sightings. This was an operation and involved "somebody" scrutinizing an aircraft carrier, a guided missile cruiser, an atomic submarine and two destroyers. The question as to what we were doing to cause this series of incidents could be the subject of another paper, but below is one example of how and why an outside source might interfere if threatened by some action by others. In early August of 1990, Sadam Hussein, in a surprise invasion, took Kuwait. But earlier that year Iraq had accused Kuwait of stealing Iraqi petroleum by slant drilling, although some Iraqi sources indicated Hussein's decision to attack was made a few months before. Our activities in the region had been routine. Then U-2 spy planes were flying part of Operation Southern Watch and were patrolling "no-fly" zones over Iraqi. There had been routine carrier activity in the Gulf, etc. This soon went from routine to intense surveillance to a buildup of a major naval task force and many mobile air bases and supply ships (carriers) were soon all over the Gulf. Before it was over, it was a full-blown war, using all types of hardware, jet fighters, bombers, helicopter flights, guided missile frigates and Cruise Missiles. This was a major operation. This scenario is very probably manifested in the activities of UAP, where someone else has been watching US in a very determined and serious manner at least since WWII. Probes or drones, unmanned craft, manned vehicles and mother ships (some with satellite objects) all have a purpose if this phenomenon is real. Close encounters and isolated cases only tell us that some UAP are real, but unless we can study all of the available incidents, we have a picture with many of puzzle pieces missing. For scientific reasons, demonstrating UAP reality must continue but after a century of activity we need to consider the reason or purpose behind the phenomenon. In order to do this we need a way of illuminating or betraying the presence of real UAP that has been unusable all these years. First, we consider that when genuine UAP are observed, there must be a reason or purpose for its presence. It could be a mission involving a lone craft, but it could also be a mission involving a number of vehicles, over a wider area and over a period of days or even weeks. We must consider this possibility. Up until now many distant object sightings, daylight or nighttime events, had to be set aside in favor of better evidence. Most of the data in both systems was unusable. We have been using a select few instances of good close encounters, but the bulk of the data had to be ignored. MUFON puts out a top 12 or top 20 list every year, for example. This is very useful for scientists and other researchers studying the best data, but we now have a way to use ALL of the data, tabulated by the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and the Mutual UFO Network. Introducing MADAR we now have a new way of betraying the presence of some UAP. After years of research and testing we have a growing system of MADAR Nodes located at various places in the United States and three foreign countries. The data from those devices will now be compared to sightings 1977, A SURPRISING CORRELATION IN TIME AND SPACE After a lull in sightings and MADAR events, in July and August of 1977 there were 7 MADAR anomalies. On July 12th at 2:10 AM MADAR had gone to alert status and police reported UFOs at Mt. Vernon, IL (60 mi W) and Mayfield, KY (85 mi to the SW). But the big shocker was yet to come. On August 15 MADAR had a major event and background radiation doubled at the very same time 130 miles to the NE the SETI antenna picked up the famous "WOW"Signal! MADAR-III & THE NEW SYSTEM When a MADAR-III DataProbe detects an anomaly it creates a dataline called an AlertStart on the server's spreadsheet. Prior to this the data is coming in at one line per minute, giving the Node (ID) number, magnetic compass heading, E-M reading in milligaus, the barometric pressure and the Universal Time Code. This is the ambient or background data. When the alert begins the data rate jumps to twice per second until the alert is over. Each Monday I provide an updated MADAR "hit list" to our Indiana MADAR UFO Officer at Marion, Phillip Leech. We use those anomaly dates and locations to attempt correlations with sighting printouts. We spend at least two weeks going over the previous month while more current sighting reports and MADAR hits continue to come in. This new system, along with cooperation from NUFORC and MUFON, went into operation in May, and the first potential correlation occurred on May 11th when Node 100 at Mountlake Terrace picked up an anomaly at 9:59 PM while a meandering satellite-like object moved S-N, witnessed at Marysville just 18 miles away at 9:58. Monthly reports are provided to our list of over 45 MADAR members, and if the significance of the report is high enough, it is forwarded to the NICAP list and the NICAP A-Team. |
