FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DECEMBER 2022
ISSUE
NEWEST MADAR SITES
We have a
new MADAR site at Indianapolis. My brother Steven Ridge is
operating node 218. This gives Indiana 14 madar sites. MADAR
site 23 at Albuquerque, NM, has been moved 16 miles south of its
original location, and is now site 218 at Bosque Farms, NM, with
a new history. Site 154 previously at Woodbine, Georgia
and operated by our MADAR UFO Officer, Jeremy Haslam, is now
located at Groton, Connecticut. It has a new node number and
history and is designated node 220 and gives Connecticut 6
sites. This is a real gold mine for MADAR, the home of the
Groton submarine base, General Dynamics the shipyard that builds
these subs and the submarine school among other things of
interest to our "visitors". The MADAR Network currently
operates in the United States, Australia, Canada, France,
Germany, Ireland, Japan, the Philippines, Switzerland, and the
United Kingdom. The program has 150 sites and presently, 50, or
34% are now DAS-equipped, which means the site teams can be
alerted by an alarm system, go out and gather more data with
selected equipment. The project has 200 members.
LATEST ANALYSIS OF CORRELATION DATA
As of July 2018 and the launching of Project MATCH,
the program has garnered thirty-nine (39) documented
correlations. The states with the highest success
rate are as follows: Alabama had 1, Arizona 3, Colorado 4,
Connecticut 7, Florida 1, Georgia 1, Illinois 2, Indiana 6,
Kentucky 2, Missouri 2, Ohio 1, Pennsylvania 5, Rhode Istand 1,
Washington 2 and West Virginia 1. The statistics do not support
a theory that more MADAR sites in a given state shows an
increase in the number of verified correlations. It appears that
states with good potential sightings of interest are the main
reason and this makes good sense.
ACCESS TO SUPPLIES IMPROVING
I-boards, the main set of components for the MADAR-III, have
been unavailable almost all year. It wasn't a price issue but
a severe parts shortage that has been rampant all over the
world due to Covid. We had enough I-boards during this period
but the numbers had dwindled to less than 10 recently, all due
to good sales of course. Long before we were to run out I had
tried to order the usual batch of 50 at a time to make sure we
would be OK. There was always the possibility that prices
might go up, but that did not happen. On the other hand, the
main brain side of the device is a 64-bit 1.2 gigahertz
computer that has always been in high demand for many
projects, the Rasberry Pi 3B. The price had gone up from
around $50 to about $160-190 in the last year. But it was good
news when I heard from our manufacturer and supplier that we
are about to get another batch of 50 I-boards. I would have
purchased a hundred but they couldn't get enough parts. Long
before we run out I will order another batch as more parts
become available just in case. As soon as we are back in the
usual business mode I will announce it officially and
hopefully we can get along without a price increase.
DO THE RECENT HITS INDICATE MORE FALSE ALARMS
MADAR anomalies may be as valid and
plentiful as flights seen on Flight Radar 24! If one
looks at most of the good hits one sees basically the same
numbers, which suggests that people are just not seeing the
UAPs and most of our nodes are not DAS-equipped. Where I take
issue is some of the nodes that have high incident rates or
what appear to be excessive hits, have field numbers that are
just obviously not reasonable. These are easy to spot and
require serious ops doing a better job. We have also the pesky
10:25 alarms but the numbers are just not high enough to
warrant exceptional measures to reduce them or attempt to
filter them out. One of the reasons I feel this way is that
one of our best anomalies was almost written off and it turned
out to be a major encounter and a code blue! So all we
can do is improve on placement and tweaking, get more ops to
install DAS units, get ops to go out and look, and get the
states to look harder for really good cases. We are doing
fantastic with "data cases", but I would prefer more "code
blues".
As apposed to "code blues", "data cases" are where we find
very good cases near operating nodes, and where the exact
times provided by witnesses provide convincing matches of
field reading increases, and especially if the compass
variation is at least 3 degrees. The down side here is that
the data-rate is 60x's slower and we learn considerably less.
Code blues have a data-rate of once dataline per second.
