In response to the strong public demand for quality moving and still images of genuinely unidentifiable objects, The Sol Foundation Citizen Science Video Analysis Project brings together scientists and investigators to analyze video footage that might verify that some UAP are nonanthropogenic technologies. To that end, the project’s team will assess video of unidentified anomalous phenomena released by the federal government or shared by its owners. We additionally intend for their analyses to help scientists begin to understand the performance characteristics of UAP and the enigmatic science and technology behind them.
The Video Analysis Project leverages a variety of video analysis methodologies to assess credible, vetted footage depicting potential UAP incidents. Depending on the availability of supporting data (including video metadata, telemetry, and sensor symbology) analyses may include geolocation, three-dimensions recreation, and camera tracking techniques. When supporting data permits, potential UAP footage will be cross-referenced against publicly available wind and historical ADS-B data (i.e., commercial and general aviation flight trackers) to eliminate prosaic phenomena, such as balloons and aircraft. Additionally, since footage from U.S. government sources is often captured by thermal sensors, infrared video will be compared with open-source cases of known prosaic objects and optical phenomena, such as sensor blooming, diffraction artifacts, thermal crossover, gain control, and edge sharpening.
To share video or to get involved, please contact us at information@thesolfoundation.org. The Sol Foundation cannot promise that the team will undertake a thorough analysis of every video received, but it will perform initial assessments of all incoming materials.
