The time for amateur
science in Anomalies studies is NOW
Make no mistake, we are
in a race against time: sooner or later Official Science will embark openly
into this field and the kind of instruments that they will use will be out of
reach of almost anybody's budget, it will be very hard to compete with them.
Any tools that we are
using today will be just toys compared to the full arsenal of modern scientific
instruments.
But today due to their
narrow-mindedness and dogmatism we already are ahead of them in this field, a
field that they do not even know exist.
So if we want to do
something really unique, beyond "simple" documenting Anomalies
we need to push ourselves into using the better tools that we can get NOW.
Sightings reports can not
be considered as hard data, but the data received from professionally build and
calibrated instruments it is hard data.
Very effective
observations stations with limited resources can be build by individuals or by
pooling resources.
Astronomers had already
scoped out locations with clear skies and build observatories in some of these
locations. For daylight atmospheric observations many of their instruments can
easily be modified to accomplish that without affecting their main astronomical
functions.
Triple systems using: a
high magnification optical component, a narrow band infrared seeker component
and a short radio-wave radar seeker component will be extremely effective,
similar components were already recommended by Project Blue Book researchers in
the 1950's.
This is also a golden
opportunity for any independent research team anywhere in the world that is not
a "slave" of "budget committees". Budget committees are the
Achilles heel of "modern organized science".
The implications of such
research program are really impossible to predict, but what is not hard to
predict is that once this reality is recognized officially, and that is just a
matter of time, a frantic global race will take place around this field, so
"small players" better get ahead and start making progress before the
noise of the "big players" overrun them.
Science as any other
human endeavour is fueled by competition.
