FORM 112 - MADAR SIGHTING INFORMATION REPORT
 


GOSHEN, KENTUCKY   -   SEPTEMBER 8, 2021

I.   DESCRIPTION OF INCIDENT

September 8, 2021; Goshen, Kentucky
6:47 am. EDT. The witness reported observing a huge object, estimated at 50 yards on a side, with three white lights in a triangle formation with a single center red flashing light. The craft was about one mile away and tracked from NE to SW at approximately 5000-7000 foot altitude. The object made some maneuvers but mainly stayed on a straight and level track and moved at a very slow rate for any type of aircraft, estimated at about 30 mph. The sighting took place over a 45-second period.

II - MADAR DATA

The witness in this incident was a MADAR operator, but site 182 did not go into alert mode. Its shield was set at the usual 30 milligaus and the magnetometer reading never got higher than 7.5. What WAS interesting was the compass heading had  gone way beyond the normal variations, and far in excess of the MSV (Multi Sensor Verification) 3-degree protocol. Since the device did not go on alert status, it was tracking at the slower one minute status scan rate instead of the one second alert data lines. But at 10:47:18 UTC (6:47 am) the compass heading was 64.17 degrees. The next minute it had gone to 358 degrees, which means the variation was 66 degrees (360-358+64). That is if the compass needle would have swung counter-clockwise. If it had swung clockwise the variation would have been 294 degrees (358-64)!  During the next minute the heading changed back to 30.93.

III.  STATUS OF INVESTIGATION

Investigation was conducted. Acting CCO Fran Ridge obtained completed questionnaire, unsigned.

IV.   CONCLUSIONS

A high evaluation would have been given if the device had gone into any level of alert plus the MSV of 3 degrees or more. This much was established. The op's Flight Radar 24 showed no flights at all, which means this was not an airliner or normal aircraft. The op did the right thing by checking his radar during the event. If the craft were a military flight and therefore not painted on FR24, it would not have had any effect on the compass, and those readings were certainly anomalous.  And since there was no reported dynamic motion or maneuver and the object was almost "idling", no effect would have been expected on 182's magnetometer. Looking at the printout, two minutes prior to the specific sighting time of 6:47 am there was a spike in the magnetometer of 7.5. And three minutes subsequent to the sighting time was a spike of 6. Not what would be expected for a slow or fast craft to enter or exit airspace from orbit or another dimension.  UAP.
