Hmmm....  Multiple witnesses, multiple videos...

Come on folks, lets all say it together.

Triangulation...

It doesn't take any wizz-bang high falutin computer video
graphics wizardry to go to the sight of a few videos, identify
landmarks and draw lines on a detailed map.  The program was
playing a little coy with the story.  The map graphics showed the
views of the witnesses converging just southwest of Phoenix east
of the military range.  Yet they use only a single video to
conclude that the lights were far west of the location indicated
on the map.

Bill and Tom really let me down.  If the program is correct, the
two see something in the sky and neither one of them think to
immediately jump in a car and drive a mile or so to another high
spot so that they could triangulate the sighting.  Triangulation,
the most powerful and accessible tool to measure most any
phenomenon and yet so seldom planned for and used. Three or four
widely placed people in high locations can cover a whole city.
Each only needs a handy camcorder on a tripod and a telephone.
Decades of unexplained aerial phenomena watching and
triangulation remains only a footnote or afterthought.  Am I just
being dense here?

Where could the depths of paranoia take me?  March 14, 1997,
triangulation quickly tells the many ufo experts that the lights
appeared over the military range.  Huddling in a dark Italian
bar, in whispered conversations, they swear an oath of allegiance
to never mention triangulation...

After all aren't we constantly reminded here on this mail list
how easily ufologist come together for their own self interest.
(Ow, I am killing myself.  Somebody stop me...)

So, anyway, where are those triangulation maps from all those
March 13 videos???

Triangulation...

Bye...  Ted..
