phone ap to manage realtime sighting and contact of UFO's

[MrPosti...@kymhorsell.com]

A new project has appeared on GITHUB, a repository for
people and teams to develop and disribute software and other
computer-based data, with the aim of using smartphones to
coordinate the sightings of UFOs in realtime.
And also try to contact UFO's that may be sighted.
The protocol even goes so far as to guide UFO's in for a touchdown
nearby, everyone willing.

UFO-Alert

A Proposal To Contact UAPs by Radio After more than 70 years the US
Government recently confirmed the existence of UAPs/UFOs. There is a
possibility that some of these objects or phenomena are not of earthly
origin. To find out where they are from we want to try and talk to
them by radio,

DESCRIPTION OF THE "CONTACT APP": Realtime data feed about in progress
UAP sightings

With the app named "UFO Alert!" (or "Contact Project App") the Contact
Initiative wants to engage with others who also think that they arenāt
alone in the universe. We, the Contact Initiative, believe that there
is a non-zero chance that UFOs/UAPs have an extraterrestrial
origin. In the past we may have seen something unexplained in the sky
and wondered what it wasā¦ We never found out about it because no one
told us and we didnāt have the tool to tell us.

The UFO Alert! app An app tool to identify the identifiable and
investigate the unknown. UFO Alert! is an open source UFO/UAP real
time reporting tool. Every user who downloads the app is a "Search partner".

Search partners can be anyone with a smartphone, radio operators,
videographers, gigapixel camera operators, Unistellar telescope
operators and (passive) radar operators, which are a subset of radio
HAM enthusiasts and people that are close enough to have visual or
audible contact with an UAP/UFO.

The "UFO ALERT!" app has 2 modes of operation: ALERT and
CONTACT. App users that report a sighting shall be called
Alerters. HAM radio and other operators that are sent the coordinates
of the UFO shall be called Contacters.

What happens when an UFO is spotted? The user who sees the
object/phenomenon presses the "UFO sighting in progress" or "Alert!"
button of the CONTACT app: The app immediately uploads the timestamp
and GPS coordinates of the sighting:

The user can also try to take snapshots or video of the UFO sighting
with their smartphone. This provides real time additional data: the
smartphoneās gravity sensors record the elevation and its magnetic
compass records the azimuth:

The data are then sent to an "Identified Flying Object server".
Here GPS and time data are parsed (and available elevation and
azimuth). An astronomical real-time database, the NORAD database and
air traffic databases are used to identify known flying objects near
the UAP location, such as planets, planes and satellites.
Secret military projects are excluded via NORAD TLEs:

If the object is not identified, it becomes a "prospective UAP" (PUAP):

GPS coordinates and other data of prospective UFOs/UAPs are forwarded
as an ALERT to close-by Contacters using the same Contact app, to be
investigated in more detail: Contacters are selected based on their
vicinity to the GPS coordinates of the sighting and their
hardware/qualifications/experience. The contacters may be HAM radio
operators and others (search partners with CB / HD camera / HD video /
telescope / radar):

Should the same PUAP be reported multiple times at different locations
a trajectory can be computed and search partners will be notified in
advance of a possible PUAP arrival. Users that spot the PUAP can fill
out a standard UFO sighting questionnaire and/or supply more detailed
reports that will be attached to the alert.

The presence of a not identified flying object has now been broadcast
to users of the CONTACT app in the vicinity of the sighting via
multiple routes (SMS, EMAIL, POP-UP APP NOTIFICATION).

Alerted by this notification: HAM RADIO OPERATORS will be listening
for incoming broadcasts from the sighting using multiband radio
frequency scanners. Should the sighting be a remote controlled drone
it would now be identified via the unique drone radio frequency
signature.

If the PUAP is a viable UFO and not a drone then HAM operators will
attempt to make contact using a variety of radio bands. A pre-recorded
message or data burst transmission may be broadcast towards the UFO.

TELESCOPE AND CAMERA OPERATORS Other search partners may try to use
the information to get radar or visual confirmation via HD cameras or
automatic telescopes (for instance UNISTELLAR / VAONIS STELLINA).

(PASSIVE) RADAR OPERATORS A special field of amateur HAM radio is the
analysis of passive radar data, often to observe meteor
tracks. Sometimes unexplained tracks are recorded, showing flight
maneuvers of objects at right angles. In case of these anomalous
sightings an ALERT can be triggered with the aim of visual
confirmation and radio contact.

VISUAL OBSERVERS Any search partner who can verify the sighting by eye
sight using the CONTACT APP provides real time data to the sighting in
progress.

The CONTACT INITIATIVE effort may be coordinated via the members of
SETI Institute / SETI LEAGUE / MUFON / HAM and other organized
networks.

All who download the app can make UFO reports. A sighting by a single
person is less convincing than an event that many witnesses report
from a distance to each other.

An AI algorithm will analyze live reports coming in in real time to
determine if multiple witnesses are reporting on the same thing. This
takes into account the position and possible flightpath of an object.

To motivate the public to take part in this search, prizes can be
given for successful detections of UAPs, staggered by evidence weight:

less important:
1. confirmed UAP pictures,
2. video,
3. radar images,

more important:
4. reception of radio emissions,
5. verifiable conversation with ETI (CETI),
6. physical alien artifact,
7. actual landing of UAP with ETI.

Alternative to cash prizes, credits may be given, they could be
collectible non-fungible tokens (NFTās), whose value is based on their
desirability.

The whole endeavor (and prize money) will be funded by private
enterprise through the 'Alien Marketplace' advertising space. This
marketplace is accessed through the Contact app. To filter out fakes
and false identifications AI algorithms and volunteers evaluate the
results. The volunteers may be paid cash or NFT tokens that can be
traded on the Alien Marketplace.
