Calibration and metadata

Calibration, timestamps, location, sensor mode, and acquisition geometry are often more important than the raw clip itself.

Evidence MethodsMethod

Missing metadata is one of the main reasons cases stay weak

This is the quiet backbone of serious anomaly analysis.

Key points

Without metadata, strong claims become difficult to defend.

NASA’s UAP report returns to this problem repeatedly.

The same logic applies to signal candidates in SETI.

Method

Useful as a lead, weak as a standalone proof layer

Witness reports matter because they trigger collection and investigation. They do not, by themselves, settle origin, physics, or intent.

Method

Better than anecdotes, still not self-explaining

Radar can provide stronger kinematic evidence than visual testimony alone, but calibration, mode, and contextual interpretation still matter.

Method

IR imagery is powerful but routinely overinterpreted

Infrared footage is one of the most common public UAP media types, and AARO’s case pages show how often it supports only narrow claims.
