EVENT SYNOPSIS
MADAR triggered at approximately 1925 hours (0
hours 28 mins CUT), followed by a loud crashing
sound. Radio interference on WWV carrier and
compass movement on Cam 4 during event
Prior to this event the operator had pondered the
possibility of E-M interference from the standby
RADPANEL (V-700 geiger counter and relays when
activated) and had moved the panel to the right
and the computer monitor to the center, leaving
the pc on the left. Knowing that this might have
slightly changed the E-M signature in the control
room the operator reset the sensor and left the
room. He had just closed the door and passed by
the audio alarm box when the system was activated.
He was able to hear the sensor moving and turned
off the audio alarm and re-entered the control
room, then realized that the manual VHS upstairs
needed to be set to REC ASAP and proceeded there.
This took less than a minute. At the same time hit
the REC button the sound of a "crashing shelf"
startled him. His wife was also upstairs and asked
him if he was OK and he said, "yes", then
proceeded downstairs back to the control room to
hit the TES1392 datalogger record button. The 1392
was allowed it to record for 30 minutes and the
VHS for the usual 2 hours. The TLC2100 time/lapse
unit routinely was operating 24/7, so all 4
"cameras" were on the Quad, creating valuable data
even before the event took place. After 1 hr the
operator reset the equipment and replaced
the datatapes. VHS was allowed to run an
additional hour for the full 2 hrs and was shut
down and replaced at around 2130. At 7:42 pm
Camera 4 showed DCS-800 electronic fluxgate
compass movement at same time of WWV carrier
interference. (See also tape analysis below for
detailed report) At end of event the
magnetic compass on Cam 3 was still off north by a
few degrees and was reset. The physical evidence
from the loud crash that had been heard that had
sounded like a shelf collapsed, never
materialized!
========================
E-M READINGS:
========================
254 MM MAGNET VARIOMETER
Magnetic Sensor Recording on EMREC TERS Unit
The TERS unit recorded data for 45 minutes.
Audacity graph showed 2m11s heavy radio-verified
disturbance and an undeterminable number of sensor
pulses, followed by the system's normal "fast
beep" sound.
Fig. 2. Edited
version of recording of sensor movement.
First half is the interference/disturbance
that blocks all the sensor pulses.
TES 1392 E-M METER
Datalogger EPROM printout had 966 datapoints with
2 sec sample rate. The event started out with 14
spikes from .06 to .12 uT. Nineteen minutes
into the event, beginning with sample 572, the
readings, which had normally been .03 to .04 uT
jumped to .06 to .07. On Fig. 1 above
(Camera 2) you can see a hidden spike of 0.12 uT
at the instant the disturbance began again with
interference on the WWV carrier AND the marked
movement on Cam 4's Fluxgate Magnetometer.
Fig 3. TES1392 EPROM
printout
Aircraft and police radio CQ not affected near
the 19 min mark, but at the 21 min mark. This is
probably due to the fact that the CQ recorder was
activated at the exact event time by MADAR and the
TES1392 EPROM was manually activated AFTER the
alert. However, the 10 MhZ WWV carrier was
affected at 7:42:22.
FLUXGATE MAGNETOMETER, DCS 800
TLC2100 Time Lapse recorder and VHS recordings
showed strong interference on the 10 MhZ WWV
carrier frequency at 7:42:22 PM. VHS had audio
feeds from WWV and aircraft, and WWV carrier was
disturbed.along with marked movement of needle.
========================
BACKGROUND RADIATION
========================
V-700 GEIGER COUNTER
Data fed to RAD recorder and data after the 2m11s
disturbance was flawed by an audio connectivity
issue. No count could be determined. The V-700 was
subsequently replaced with the Model 4 so this
problem has been solved.
========================
RADAR DATA
========================
ARTC not contacted.
========================
POTENTIAL OBSERVERS
========================
AIRCRAFT
TEAC W518R Left Channel - Flight data from AC
scanner - Perfectly clear after the 2m11s

DISCUSSION
From: David ESP <davidgaryesp@gmail.com>
Date: Sun, 8 Jun 2014 14:33:17 +0100
There was solar-caused geomagnetic activity late
(UTC) on 6 and 7 June. From http://www.solarham.net/magnetogram.htm
Solar particles would also have trashed
shortwave (ionospheric reflection) propagation.
Seems from http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/
that there was a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on
the 4th June. Particles travel a lot slower
than light, hence can typically take a day or two
to reach here.

6.8.2014
A massive formation on the sun made of
super-hot magnetic plasma erupted this week in an
explosive solar storm captured on video by NASA
spacecraft.
http://www.nicap.org/madar/APDS/APD27/videos/20140604-solar.MPG
The huge plasma tendril, known as a solar filament
erupted on Wednesday (June 4), blowing part of
itself out into space in what astronomers call a
coronal mass ejection, or CME. NASA's powerful
Solar Observatory recorded video of the solar
filament eruption while the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory tracked the subsequent CME.
Astronomer Tony Phillips of Spaceweather.com, a
website that tracks solar flare events,
wrote in a post Thursday (June 5) that amateur and
astronomers had watched the filament for more than
a week to see how it would meet its end.
Fran Ridge:
(Astronomer Tony Phillips) Phillips added
that the solar eruption was not aimed directly
at Earth, but could deal a "glancing blow" to
the planet's magnetic field on Saturday (June
7), possibly amplifying northern lights
displays. This was the day AFTER MADAR 27.
6.8.2014
Fran Ridge:
Sensor pulse recording (Fig. 2). A short,
preliminary digital recording was made in lieu
of a full transfer. The preliminary results show
a major disturbance which lasted approximately 2
mins and 11 secs.

CONCLUSIONS
========================
Massive RF/EM disturbance of undetermined origin
that lasted 2 minutes and 11 seconds. Nineteen
minutes into the event there was marked
interference on aircraft and police frequency
carriers in the 108-200 MHz range. At 19:42:22
Quad Time there was marked interference in the
carrier frequencies at the same time as jerky
deviations with the DCS-800 fluxgate compass
were noted on the VHS recording. (See video clip). WWV is
monitored at 10.0 MHz. A time fix for the latter
event was established as 19:44:19 as 0h47m CUT.
The entire MADAR-27 event began with automatic
activation of the MADAR system.
The sky was overcast and still daylight and no
reports were received or found involving UAP.
