Our Experimental Supplemental Questionnaire
Why a Questionnaire?
If you have been following us for a while, you know that it is extremely difficult to directly collect data on UAPs. This is largely because of the completely unpredictable and transient nature of the phenomena, and because we struggle to form any informed hypotheses about what we should measure and how. It is important to address this, but progress is slow.
What we do have in abundance is witnesses – witnesses, and what they tell us they remember about their encounters. Although we recognize the serious problems in dealing with eyewitness testimony, we don’t regard such testimonies as “only” anecdotes, but as data – data about what humans – very complex and imperfect perception machines – remember.
Investigator Training Videos: The API Investigative Process
The first in a planned series of investigator training videos provides a short, simplified overview of our investigative process from report to case closure. We’re not drilling down much into the individual steps – those will be the subject of future videos.
