UFO witness interviews follow key principles: establish rapport and trust, use open-ended questions, avoid leading questions, maintain neutrality, document everything, respect witness confidentiality, and use proper recording equipment.
Traumatized UFO witnesses require specialized approaches: assess psychological state, provide emotional support, use trauma-informed interview techniques, avoid re-traumatization, and consider professional counseling referrals.
Documentation includes: signed consent forms, audio/video recordings, detailed written notes, witness demographics, timeline reconstruction, and chain of custody forms for any physical evidence.
