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:

At 9:33 pm local time Op of node 138 received a call from his wife who reported that she had seen a UFO and asked if his node had picked up anything. MADAR site was 2.16 miles from the sighting location on highway 374.

2. NUFORC DATA CHECK:

8/1/19 01:25 Clarksville TN

MADAR Node 138 8/23/19
7/31/19 21:33 Clarksville TN Light
Witness encountered bright white light that approached her car from the left and then zipped to the right 12/1/19
7/31/19 21:00 Chattanooga TN Fireball 1 minute A bright orange fireball rose up slowly from behind the tree line and then swiftly moved to the right and vanished.

Prior to the sighting referenced above nuforc reported
July 31, 2019; Chattanooga, Tennessee
9:00 pm local. While driving down the highway the three witnesses observed a single bright orange fireball which rose vertically over the tree line in the horizon. It glowed brighter and brighter and seemed to increase in size. Once it reached the middle of the sky it began swiftly moving to the right and vanished.  The witnesses (all bothers and sisters) could not believe their eyes nor figure out what it was. As soon as it appeared, it vanished. It left an eerie silence in its wake. (NUFORC)
 

referenced sighting as follows:
July 31, 2019; Clarksville, Tennessee
9:33 pm. Witness was on her way home from work and when approaching the first marker (on the map), got a clear view of a bright, white light over to her left. (See the Black Star on Annotated Map.) Object was previously obscured by trees, but as her vehicle made the turn around the bend in the road, it came into view. She had not seen or known about it before getting to that spot. It was moving slowly in an angle to the right but coming towards her. It appeared to be moving slow and in her general direction. The flight path seemed to be more or less level in flight, neither ascending or decending. When she drove further down the road to where the second marker is on the map, that's when it immediately zipped off to the right and disappeared. (See the Black Star on the Annotated Map.) It was a very quick maneuver that didn't go up or down from there..just off to the right in her field of view. The other strange part about this was that when it shot off to the right, i! t seemed to disappear while in full view, just kind of winked out. There were no trees in the way or anything obscuring the view when that happened. She slowed down and began trying to see if she could find it again but to no avail. When she continued down the road to the third marker on the map, she saw a helicopter (marked as a blue star) which she thought might be lifeflight as they fly up from Nashville and often take people to the hospital down there. It had more than just the white lights so she knew it was something normal. At this point, she was about to tum off of 101st when she called her husband to tell him to check his MADAR unit. The phone call was made at 9:33 pm. She was only a minute or two away from the house when she made that call. (MADAR)

7. COMMENTS:

This sighting had been pending and was about to be relegated to uncorrelated target folder, It had no MADAR hits (and therefore no MSV was possible) and no undertigger data was found for the time period. A routine check with CMS and NUFORC was conducted to make sure there were no obvious correlations. When the nuforc printout was checked, the similar sighting at Chattanooga was discovered, but about 180 miles to the SE of Clarksville on the same day and 33 minutes earlier at 21:00 or 9:00 pm local. The madar data was checked for that different time period, which is 02:00 UTC. The field numbers were small, but there was a definite spike during the 02:00 UTC of 13 milligaus during that status minute. The compass heading didn't vary more than 1 degree + or -, but the field value did. If the distance between the two cities had been much less and the field numbers would have exceeded the threshold, two things would have happened: 1) This would have been a bonified alert correlation and the datarate would have  ramped up to where we would have had 60 times more data. 2) the distance rule would have been more confirmation of a bonified  sighting/madar relationship. The spike we had is interesting and probably not a coincidence, and the data in the remaining 59 seconds will never be known. But what two witnesses reported looks like an operation with one or more UAPs.
