Key Physical Evidence Evaluators:
Radar Contact Evidence:
'Primary Contact' is the
most solid form of radar evidence. The term 'primary contact' is
key in that all commercial and military aircraft in our skies today
(World wide) have a radio device called a transponder. Aircraft
with a transponder return a distinct 'transponder' signal that sends
information about the aircraft to controllers on the ground (unless
purposely masked out.)
Primary radar, is the base-line standard
of echo-based radar, and it is the only way of detecting a distant
aircraft that has no transponder. It is what one would expect to
use to detect any "non-cooperative" objects which don't have
transponder, such as UFOs!
'Multiple Primary Contacts' from multiple radar sites, such as
Air Traffic Control Centers, FAA, NORAD, or NATO sites, strengthens the
value of radar evidence significantly.
'Multiple Primary Contacts, Ground and Airborne Radar' is the
strongest possible for of radar based evidence in that the object is
tracked by multiple sites using powerful ground based radar and more
mobile aircraft based radar. In this scenario not only are
multiple source factored in, there are also a larger group of highly
trained expert observers involved.
There have been, and continue to be many UFO incidents where solid
multi-point, 'primary contact' is established. This type of hard
data evidence is nearly impossible to dispute. (Although there are
those who will try.)
Video or Photographic Evidence:
While there are many seemingly convincing
photographs and videos that have been presented as evidence of UFO
encounters, this form of evidence requires considerable scrutiny.
Still photographs, and videos with a bit of effort, can be convincingly
manipulated in the photo lab or on the computer (as evidenced by the UFO
graphics I have prepared for the 'Inexplicable' section of Zuko.com)
Good photographic or video evidence must
have these qualities:
-
Crisp clear focus to allow the photo
or video to be examined at a microscopic level for evidence of
tampering or alteration.
-
Open shots with additional objects in
the frame such as buildings, trees, aircraft, etc, to be able to
establish proper scale and perspective.
-
The appearance of foregrounds,
backgrounds, shadows and lighting must adhere to the physical laws
of photography (if not, it's a fraudulent image)
-
Video needs to be smooth and in focus
- too many video purport erratic motion of an object when it is in
fact the camera operator's shaking hands.
Still photos or videos can contribute to a
strong body of evidence, however, in this age of technology, they are
not conclusive. In short still photos or videos must hold up under
serious scientific and microscopic examination and the mathematical
ratios must support authenticity.
Physical Trace Evidence:
Physical trace evidence includes; ground
impressions, burned or desiccated soil, burned or damaged foliage
resulting from a reported landing or hover site.
It would also include confirmed (and
comparative) readings on increased radiation levels, magnetic anomalies,
and metallic or other unusual mineral elements.
Validity of this evidence must be
maintained through proper scientific collection methodologies and
evaluated under strict scientific protocol.
There are several well known UFO incident
investigations where this type of physical evidence has been collected
by various government agencies of the United States, Great Britton,
France, Germany, and Brazil.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Evidence:
Physical effect evidence includes; power
black-outs, TV/Radio interference, radio or telephone communication
disruption or stalled vehicles. It also includes magnetic compass
deflections and aircraft or ship navigation equipment disruption.
As with other forms of evidence, these incidents must be well documented
and help up to scientific evaluation to eliminate other possible cause.
There have been more than 30 incidents of aircraft navigation and
communication disruption cases recorded by NASA scientists.
The CIA, NSA, DIA, and FBI all have case files documenting incidents
such as these. One significant military UFO incident occurred over
Tehran in 1976 when a U.S. F-4 interceptor experienced a total shut down
of all communications and weapons systems as it was preparing to fire a
missile at an unknown object in restricted airspace. Upon landing
however, the F4's systems all checked out perfectly.
Physiological Effects Evidence:
Physiological effects evidence includes;
physical effects on animals and humans such as skin or corneal burns,
temporary paralysis, rashes or symptoms resembling radiation poisoning.
As with all forms of evidence collection,
documentation, and evaluation strict scientific protocol must be adhered
to.
Biological Effects Evidence:
Biological effects evidence includes;
physical effects on plants such as dramatically accelerated growth
rates, out of cycle germination triggers on seeds, damage to seeds, or
growth retardation. It also includes blownout stem nodules or
other peculiar damage.
As with all forms of evidence collection,
documentation, and evaluation strict scientific protocol must be adhered
to.
