The Sk圓60 stations consist of an AllSk圜am with a wide angle fish-eye lens and a pan-tilt-focus camera, with the fish-eye camera registering all movement.
However, Sk圓60 believes that the level of interest and the technology have now both reached an inflection point, where citizen researchers can actually generate large-scale actionable data for analysis all on their own. Organizations like MUFON, founded in 1969, have long investigated sightings, while amateur groups like the American Flying Saucer Investigating Committee of Columbus even ran statistical analysis on sightings in the 1960s (finding that most of them happened on Wednesdays). Unlike earlier 20th century efforts such as inventors proposing “ geomagnetic detectors” to discover nearby UFOs, or more recent software like the short-lived UFO ID project, Sk圓60 hopes that it can establish a network of autonomously operating surveillance units to gather real-time data of our skies.Ĭitizen-led UFO research is not new. Although the Director of National Intelligence now discloses UAP sightings, many of those remain unsolved, and the US Navy has said that releasing more videos would be a national security risk.
Interest in UFOs has waxed and waned over the years, but with the Pentagon’s recent declassification of the “Tic Tac” videos in 2020-an unprecedented acknowledgment of mysterious aerial phenomena from official sources-the frenzy was well and truly reignited.Ĭonfirmation of inexplicable flying Tic Tacs or not, that overarching air of secrecy has never really gone away. Now, frustrated with a lack of transparency and trust around official accounts of UFO phenomena, a team of developers has decided to take matters into their own hands with an open source citizen science project called Sk圓60, which aims to blanket the earth in affordable monitoring stations to watch the skies 24/7, and even plans to use AI and machine learning to spot anomalous behavior.
