Professional UFO investigation requires a comprehensive field kit including: digital cameras and video equipment, audio recorders, EMF detectors, Geiger counter, magnetometer, GPS devices, measuring tools, sample containers, evidence bags, and protective gear. Advanced investigations also utilize spectrum analyzers, infrared cameras, and other scientific instruments for thorough data collection.
Credible UFO investigations require systematic documentation including: investigation forms, witness questionnaires, detailed sketches, topographic and aerial maps, chain of custody forms, consent forms, and comprehensive contact logs. All evidence must be properly catalogued and stored using standardized protocols to ensure scientific validity.
Professional UFO investigators ensure scientific credibility through rigorous methodology, systematic approaches to data collection, reproducible results, peer review processes, and adherence to protocols developed by organizations like MUFON and GEIPAN. All investigations must withstand scientific scrutiny and follow established research standards.
UFO field investigation follows systematic steps: pre-investigation preparation with proper equipment, initial site assessment and security, witness interviews using standardized questionnaires, physical evidence collection with chain of custody protocols, environmental measurements, photographic documentation, and comprehensive analysis of all collected data.
Physical evidence collection at UFO sites requires sterile sample containers, proper labeling, chain of custody documentation, GPS coordinates for each sample location, photographic evidence of collection process, environmental condition recording, and immediate secure storage. All samples must be handled with contamination prevention protocols and transported to qualified laboratories for analysis.
