SOURCE TEST
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Below are natural and man-made sources of mistaken UFO reports (IFOs).
|
|||
|
|
Two human senses are usually responsible - sight (SI) and hearing (HE).
|
|||
|
|
Columns for these are on the right. The error may be directly by the
|
|||
|
|
witness, or an environmental factor may have caused it.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Based on the investigation, for each potential IFO factor indicate
|
|||
|
|
whether a misperception of sight/hearing may be involved by marking:
|
|||
|
|
L (Likely), P (Possible) or N (not possible).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
SI HE
|
|||
|
|
EXAMPLE (from Section B, #1,c - helicopter): (L) (P)
|
|||
|
|
Comment: Reported beam of light likely from police helicopter in the
|
|||
|
|
area. Gusty wind may have blocked the sound of the rotors. See comment
|
|||
|
|
on wind in A, #2.
