The next time you have one of those UFO sightings...in addition to looking at
|
||
|
|
the UFO...note the time...direction...and stick your arm out straight forward
|
||
|
|
toward the object with hand up fingers apart palm outward. Those aliens will
|
||
|
|
think your waving at them. In reality you will be comparing the size of the
|
||
|
|
craft to the size of your fingernails and determining the azimuth of the craft
|
||
|
|
by seeing how many outstretched hands you can put between the horizon and the
|
||
|
|
craft.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your little finger nail isabout the size of an aspirin....and when aimed at
|
||
|
|
the moon will just about cover it. The size of your thumb nail is twice that
|
||
|
|
size. By knowing the distance from your eyes to your outstretched hand (take
|
||
|
|
a yard stick and measure it)...and estimating the distance between you and the
|
||
|
|
object...and using a little trigonometry, it is possible for you to determine
|
||
|
|
the size of the object. Knowing the size of the object can be very helpful in
|
||
|
|
the field investigation to follow.
