Analyzing the spectrum of unidentified flying objects

Unidentified Flying Objects have been seen throughout history. The technology to study them has never been this good. It used to be that we would see a still photo of a flying saucer over a fence or light in the sky. Today, we the technology to study these objects and learn more about them. That includes analysis of the light spectrum being emitted from the objects. We can examine these spectra to see if they match Earth technology.

Handheld spectrum analysis devices are available to the public, and are affordable for many. An example of a company is at source (1). While the software to analyze these objects in videos is doubtless available, the problem lies in the authenticity of the videos. Getting videos from video sharing services it not as easy as it may sound. You have no real way to tell who shot the video, with what camera and what the conditions were. Also, the UFO/ UAP phenomenon is a transient phenomenon. (2)

One thing that can happen is to have dedicated volunteers with the right technology to watch for UFO’s. How do you do this, when UFO’s are a transient phenomenon? The answer may be to record at what is known as UFO hotspots. For unknown reasons, some areas seem to attract UFO’s more than others. (3) Of course dark, unclouded skies are helpful. To study these objects properly, clear skies and frequent appearance are needed.

Objectivity is essential. Most videos presented on social media are obviously shot by amateurs who had their cameras in the right place at the right time. That’s not hard to do, since most people now have good resolution photo equipment in their pocket. Some sightings may be things such as Chinese lanterns. This is one area where spectrum analysis would be helpful. Chinese lanterns use candles to produce hot gases and they act like miniature hot air balloons. Spectrum analysis would be able to detect combustion.

The prevailing lighting technologies are Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and of course fluorescent bulbs. LED lights lack much of the natural spectrum that our eyes see. This has been intentionally built into LED bulbs by manufacturers, and it has negative health implications for people. (4)

It should be possible to determine if LED bulbs are present in UFO’s and the more recent “drones”. Spectral analysis should be able to detect if these technologies are in use in these objects or not. I would not expect to find these high tech devices using incandescent bulbs.

Night vision technology is readily available to detect these objects. (5) However, true infrared technology is very expensive. It can help one see things that are not apparent to our eyes.

If the spectra of the lights on these objects matches known devices, then that would boost the idea that these things are earth based technology. If the spectra do not match, then it may boost the idea that we have extraterrestrial visitors. Either way, we need dedicated field scientists to examine these things and learn the truth. We will not get any real information out of our governments, or scientists who have nice, cushy jobs at universities an don’t want to rock the boat, in fear that they might fall overboard.
