Materials from the Mysteries of Space and Sky 2023 Conference

API’s Paul Carr spoke at the Mysteries of Space and Sky 2023 conference in Gambrills, Maryland on the 21st of October. The purpose of the talk was four fold:

  • To discuss the current paradigm for citizen involvement in studying the phenomena and why and how it needs to evolve.
  • To propose some research questions that we can address with data we have or could collect.
  • To introduce the idea of Citizen Science into the UAP space.
  • To encourage everyone to get involved in some way.

Conversation 20 – Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the 70s

Recorded: 7 June 2023
Released: 30 July 2023
Duration: 54 Minutes 21 Seconds

This is our first anonymous API Conversation, although we are using the real first name of our Witness. A former Air Force F111 technician tells us his story about a UFO encounter captured on RADAR at Cannon Air Force base in New Mexico in the mid 1970s, and what followed after that.

If you served with Airman Pat at Cannon AFB in the mid 1970s, or if you were in Clovis, NM at that time, we’d like to hear your side of the story.

The Site Visit Plan

The most important thing to have with you when you go into the field is information. Take a moment to consider all the factors from road access to moon phase. Write down the essential information. Hopefully, it all fits on a 4 x 6 card you can slip into your bag.

For ethical reasons, we don’t want to draw attention to your witness, their family, or their property as a result of the site visit. Plan to keep a low profile and blend in. Leave non-essential gear at home and take a minimum size team.

Our new page on Identified Flying Objects

Taken right from API’s own case files, we show many examples of common IFOs on this new page. The more you and everyone else knows about these misidentifications, the more we can reduce the noise level in the field. Please review the page and let us know what would make it more useful to you. We intend to update it frequently.
