UAP Field Research

Atmospheric Phenomena

Daylight observations. Original footage. Real terrain. Open questions.

Across two expeditions into the Utah backcountry, eight significant UAP sightings were recorded in full daylight.

The current archive contains roughly 13–15 minutes of footage with the objects on camera, including two second-trip observations lasting approximately five minutes each.

The work now moves from observation into analysis.

Case overview

Two Expeditions

First Trip

I

6 Sightings

3–5 Minutes of Footage

All recorded in daylight

The first expedition produced six significant daytime sightings and the first footage archive of the project.

Return Trip

II

2 Major Sightings

~10 Minutes of Footage

Two ~5-minute recordings · All daylight

Three weeks later, the return expedition produced two major daylight sightings, each remaining on camera for roughly five minutes.

Why the record is different

All of It Was Daylight

Every major recording in the archive happened in daylight.

That gives the footage terrain, horizon, atmosphere, and object movement against a visible environment — far more context than an isolated light in a dark sky.

Daylight changes the record.

Field Method

Prepare

Maps, terrain, timing, equipment, vantage points.

Observe

9–12 hour sessions across multiple days.

Record

Keep the object in frame and preserve context.

Archive

Save original footage, metadata, notes, and locations.

Analysis

From Footage to Geometry

Once the trip ends, the footage becomes a different kind of expedition.

By combining camera position, terrain, timestamps, frame-by-frame motion, and 3D reconstruction, I can rebuild the viewing geometry around an event.

Central field case

The Three-Week Interval

Then I went back.

The first expedition produced six sightings.

Three weeks later, the return trip produced two major daylight observations and roughly ten additional minutes of footage.

Both remained on camera for approximately five minutes.

At that point, this was no longer one strange clip.

There was repetition.

Repetition.

The Crown Jewel

The strongest footage in the current archive came from the return expedition.

Two separate daylight sightings.

Approximately five minutes on camera each.

Current status

Where the Research Goes Next

The footage already exists.

Now the focus is deeper analysis: event timelines, motion tracking, terrain reconstruction, metadata preservation, comparison across sightings, and outside review.

The goal is simple: learn everything the archive can give us.
