# Computer Unidentified Flying Object Network and MADAR: Automated Detection Systems in Unidentified Flying Object Research

The Computer Unidentified Flying Object Network, in conjunction with the Magnetic Anomaly Detection and Recording (MADAR) system, represents one of the most innovative and technologically advanced approaches to Unidentified Flying Object detection and monitoring ever developed. This pioneering project, launched in the 1990s, established the first network of automated detection instruments specifically designed to identify and record potential Unidentified Flying Object-related phenomena using scientific instrumentation and computer networking technology.

Unlike traditional Aerial Anomaly research organizations that relied primarily on witness reports and after-the-fact investigation, the Computer Aerial Anomaly Network and MADAR system attempted to create a proactive detection capability that could identify Aerial Anomaly activity in real-time and provide early warning to researchers and investigators. This ambitious project combined cutting-edge sensor technology with computer networking to create a distributed monitoring system that operated continuously across multiple geographic locations.

The system's approach was fundamentally different from conventional UAP research methods, focusing on measurable physical phenomena rather than subjective witness testimony. By monitoring magnetic field fluctuations, electromagnetic disturbances, and other environmental parameters that had been associated with UAP encounters, MADAR attempted to provide objective, scientific evidence of anomalous aerial phenomena.

## Historical Background and Development

### Origins in the 1990s

The Computer Unidentified Flying Object Network and MADAR system emerged during the 1990s as personal computer technology became sufficiently advanced and affordable to support sophisticated monitoring and data collection operations.
