You aren't a good researcher.
It's just that simple. Has nothing
to do with anyone's "image" of what
a good researcher should be.

Doesn't make you a bad guy. Just means that serious/mature
researchers won't give you much credence.

Yeah, the ET folklore is a drawback, but the two items he found are
pretty interesting. [Two more items than 90% of the bloviators on the
forum.] The more I think about it, that cheap ass sensor must have a
story behind it. Perhaps a guard was sleeping in the shack and failed
to wake up when the "intruder" beeped the horn.  Or the back gate was
approached by a vehicle without a horn (ATV, heavy equipment).

In most organizations, you have to justify the purchase of gear. So if
there is a reason for this piece of crap security, it would be that
there are no Qualtron type road sensors in the area. Probably the road
is too close to Rachel and that they wouldn't want to risk another
sensor issue. Still, they could put a Qualtron type passive IR sensor
behind the fence to detect intruders.

There is a road leaving the back gate heading southward. If you take
it far enough, there is a gate. Beyond the gate there is one of those
drums (barrels) with a number of it for the contractor to read off as
they go out to man or service the "threats." It might be worth a drive
to see if they put an alarm on it. That would need a MURS or VHF
frequency to reach the shack.
