Exploring UAP Activity at Mt. Hood – ECETI Ranch, Washington
Thanks to a suggestion from Dave Schrader during our meeting at Phenomecon 2024, our team is heading to Trout Lake, Washington. We’ve learned that Mt. Adams is known for UAP sightings, so we’ve secured an AirBnB just a mile from ECETI Ranch, a well-known UAP observatory.
While we have plenty of equipment for paranormal investigations, I’m looking for the best methods to capture any UAP activity. We will be utilizing a range of gear, including a Flir One Pro, HIKMICRO Thermal Camera Pocket2 (256 x 192 IR resolution with an 8MP visual camera), GoPro, iPhone 15 Pro, a drone, and some EMF detectors.
I’m considering purchasing an IR monocular for better sky observation—any recommendations for the best one?
Additionally, I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with LiDAR rentals, frequency meters (similar to those used on Secret of Skinwalker Ranch), or any specific camera suggestions for capturing the night sky.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best,
Chad, Dr. Ghost Hunters
Hi Chad,
It sounds like an exciting trip to Trout Lake and ECETI Ranch! Given your gear and the focus on documenting UAP activity, here are some suggestions to enhance your investigation:
IR Monocular Recommendation: The FLIR Scout III or the Pulsar Axion series are excellent IR monoculars for observing distant objects in low-light conditions. They have good thermal resolution and are designed for nighttime use, making them ideal for sky observations.
Camera Equipment: For night sky photography, consider a camera with a good low-light performance. The Sony A7S III is a great choice for astrophotography and UAP documentation due to its excellent sensitivity and frame rates. Coupling it with a fast lens (like a 24mm or 35mm f/1.4) will help capture more detail.
Drones: Make sure your drone is equipped with a stabilized camera for clear footage. The DJI Mavic Air 2 has excellent low-light capabilities and a good battery life, allowing you to cover more ground.
LiDAR: If you want to rent LiDAR, check with local research institutions or universities for availability. While it may not be common for UAP investigations, it could provide unique data if you’re also interested in mapping the terrain.
Frequency Meters: For detecting electromagnetic fields, you might consider the Trifield EMF Meter, which can measure multiple frequencies. It could help you identify any unusual fluctuations that often accompany UAP sightings.
Field Notes: Document everything meticulously—time, location, weather conditions, and your findings. Also, take videos and photos from various angles and distances.
Networking: Reach out to local UFO or UAP groups when you arrive. They might have insights or experiences that can inform your investigation.
Best Practices: When you’re out in the field, try to be mindful of outside light sources, as they can interfere with your observations. Turn off unnecessary electronic devices to reduce noise that might skew your EMF readings.
Good luck with your investigation, and I can’t wait to hear about your findings!
Safe travels,
