- ABSTRACT:
-
- The author proposes a system for the remote, real-time
detection of UFOs in the near-Earth environment, using passive, multi-static,
frequency-modulated (FM) radar. The system capitalizes on the use of multiple,
time-synchronized radio receivers to capture high-frequency radio signals
reflected from a target. The time-lapse between received signals, together
with three-dimensional Doppler-shift analysis, permits calculation of a
target's location, velocity, acceleration, flight path, and other parameters,
possibly to include target size estimation. Signal analysis of the reflected
signal, combined with analysis of target characteristics, will permit discrimination
between suspected UFOs, and targets of terrestrial origin, e.g. aircraft,
satellites, space debris, meteor trails, upper atmospheric conditions,
weather phenomena, migratory birds, the Moon, etc.. One application proposed
may allow detection of UFOs out to a range of at least 27,600 kilometers
from the Earth's surface.
