INITIAL INFORMATION  WORKSHEET

DATE OF THIS INQUIRY:	23 March 2021
SOURCE:	Hit search in March of 2019, Fran Ridge
SUBJECT:	PSOI for period of alert at node 106, Newington, CT
SIGHTING DATE:	August 6, 2018
TIME ZONE:	EDT

This worksheet is designed to assess the possibility of a correlation with a qualifying potential sighting of interest and a credited MADAR anomaly and involves working with the known sighting date and time in UTC and the immediate state, or sometimes the adjoining state. If that protocol is met, the sighting and node locations will be taken into consideration.

1. INITIAL SOURCE:

A MATCH check for MADAR events turned up two potential sightings of interest.

2. NUFORC DATA CHECK:

A nuforc check for the date, the date prior, and the date after showed the following:

8/6/18 13:11	Newington	CT			MADAR Node 106	8/17/18
8/6/18 13:05	Norwich	CT	Other	5 minutes	Bullet shaped object of chrome out of control.	8/10/18
8/6/18 10:05	Fairfield	CT	Light	Minutes	Witnesses had seen multiple objects in the sky that clearly move and pulsate, but not aircraft.	8/17/18
8/5/18 22:00	Plantsville	CT	Light	45 seconds	Bright light that was moving slower than a shooting star, faster than plane, turned, left a trail, and then disappeared in space.

August 6, 2018; Norwich, Connecticut
13:05 (approx). Witness saw, what appeared to be a helicopter, free-fall to hover over the trees about a quarter mile from his building less than 1000 feet up. It moved side to side as if troubled with control. He thought it was going to crash, then it turned sideways and the sun shone off it brightly. It was not a helicopter and seemed maybe bullet shaped, of bright chrome. It continued to attempt control then steadied itself for a few seconds before flying straight up above the clouds. He could still see it through a hole in the clouds and watched until it shot off to his right, traveling fast enough that he only observed it again because the sun struck the chrome once more, before it was out of view. 5 mins.

3. MUFON CMS CHECK:

The search result is limited to max 50 returned Sighting Reports

1	2018-08-06	2018-08-06 10:05AM	{jpg} 2 days in a row, multiple objects	Fairfield, CT, US

August 6, 2018; Fairfield, Connecticut
10:05 AM. For two days, witnesses had seen multiple objects in the sky. They appeared like stars, but clearly moved and pulsated. They reported 4 objects last night (5th). It was as if they were in a grid spreading out for many miles over the sky, zigzagging in various directions but always returning to a fixed spot. Four of the witnesses saw the same thing. They reported over ten airplanes flying at various heights during this event and even saw space debris or satellites that went close by where these objects were. (MUFON CMS)

4. SIGHTING SEARCH TOOL:

Not applicable for 2018 data.

5. PROXIMITY:



Norwich is 43 measured miles SE of Newington.

See MADAR map segment in folder showing locations of the two sightings in reference to node 106.

Fairfield is about 50 measured miles SW of Newington.

6. MADAR DATA:

August 6, 2018; Newington, CT MADAR Node 106 13:11 Actual readout in reverse order beginning with status, ambient reading of 142 compass heading, zero milligaus, barometric pressure of 29.95. This is representative of the normal status rate of one dataline per minute. The time-date is 17:10:39 UTC or 13:10:39 local or 13:11 (1:11 PM). Note AlertStart with 80 compass (a 60-degree swing) begins a series of 500 millisecond datalines known as alert which last until the event is over, and after 6 mins resumes the one min datarate. (Later we changed the one-second rate to 3 mins for all units. - Ridge)

7. COMMENTS:

The event at Fairfield at 10:05 am seemed much inferior in nature at first glance, but the context of what was being described SW of Newington at 10:05 takes on more significance when added with events three hours later at Norwich and Newington. Six minutes after the sighting at Norwich, CT, and only 43 miles away to the NW, the Newington node 106 had a verified anomaly. The data in 2018 was not yet properly calibrated and the field readings were next to useless in value, except that the field increase was indicative of an actual geomagnetic change which is what triggered MADAR then, and even better today. The multi sensor verification protocol, which went into effect in June of 2020 was utilized recently in the case above, showed a significant compass heading change during this event. This is as close to being a regional daylight madar/visual as one can get. And to top it off, it further validates the vertical ascent (or descent) prediction of applied power discovered in South Korea at Operation Foal Eagle in 2002.
