Investigation Tips: The TriField Meter

This section provides an in-depth explanation of the TriField Meter, emphasizing its utility in UFO investigations. It is described as a device that combines Magnetic Field Detection, Electric Field Detection, and Radio/Microwave Detection, and Microwave Detection into one unit.

How it Works and Can it Help You?

The TriField Meter is presented not as an advertisement but as an example of technological advancement. It covers the non-ionizing electromagnetic spectrum.

Magnetic Field Detection: Areas with high magnetic field readings ('hot' spots) are often caused by unpaired internal wiring, not power receptacles. Other sources include motorized clocks, electric blankets, heaters, fluorescent lights, and built-in lights in consumer devices. Frequencies range from 120 Hz to 17,000 Hz (for video displays). Cars and motorcycles also emit strong fields above 60 Hz. Readings above 1-3 milli-gauss in the Northern Hemisphere are considered high and require investigator attention.

Electronic Field Detection: High readings can occur near video screens and fluorescent lights. These fields can be shielded with aluminum foil or by placing a hand between the meter and the source. In the field, high readings suggest searching the area for the source.

Microwave Detection: Radio and microwaves are composed of electric and magnetic fields. For frequencies below 100 MHz, the effect on the human body is low. High readings can occur near microwave ovens and cellular phones. These fields can be shielded like electric fields, though lower frequency radio waves are harder to shield with hands. Radars and FM transmitters can expose residents to moderately high power levels (up to 10 mw briefly). High readings near towers or buildings can cause instability. Wearers of pacemakers should avoid exposure to high radio/microwave powers. Brief exposure to high AC electric, magnetic, or radio/microwave fields may cause nervousness or seizures.

How is the Meter Utilized in the Field of UFOLOGY?

UFO sightings are often accompanied by disturbances in electromagnetic and/or radio/microwave fields. Changes in the Natural Magnetic field are the most frequent type of disturbance found in UFO incidents. While atmospheric conditions (windy or cloudy days) can emit variable electric fields, making them less reliable for detection, electromagnetic, radio, and microwave detectors are considered indicators of UFO activity in close proximity. However, caution is advised.

Note on Biological Effects: An external magnetic field of 3 milligauss or an electric field of 2.5 kilovolts can produce approximately one billionth amp per square centimeter. Current produced inside the body higher than one billionth amp per square centimeter at frequencies of 1000 Hz or below is noted. While no absolute hazard threshold is established, the lower limit for biological effects is estimated to be three times this level. Preliminary results suggest spending short periods well above this threshold is better than prolonged exposure just above it. At frequencies above 1000 Hz, the body is likely to be sensitive, but less so than to lower-frequency current. The newsletter also mentions that strong magnetic fields (500 milligauss) and electric fields (about 2 kilovolts) exist in nature but are static (frequency of zero), thus producing no current inside the body.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this newsletter are UFO investigations, paranormal research, and cryptozoology, with a strong emphasis on the activities of UFORCOP in Pennsylvania. The organization positions itself as a dedicated research group that is self-funded and offers its services free of charge. They are actively seeking public input for sightings and investigations, particularly around nuclear facilities. The editorial stance is informative and investigative, providing practical tips for researchers and highlighting specific cases and resources within the field.

This issue of SKY WATCH, published by the UFO RESEARCH CENTER OF PENNSYLVANIA, focuses on UFO detection, investigation, and related phenomena. The magazine emphasizes the importance of understanding the capabilities of detection equipment, such as Gauss meters, to avoid false alarms caused by common environmental factors like household electrical fields.

Equipment and Detection

The issue features a detailed look at the TRIFIELD METER Model 100XE, a device capable of measuring magnetic fields (both high and low ranges), electric fields, and radio/microwave radiation. It cautions readers that while Gauss meters can be used for UFO detection, they are prone to picking up interference from household current, leading to false alarms. The core message is to "know the projected capabilities of your equipment before making any claim of UFO activity."

Paranormal Tips and Investigations

Under the heading "Paranormal Tips," the magazine advises caution when visiting reportedly haunted locations, noting that permission is often required and trespassers may face prosecution or be escorted out by authorities. The issue also highlights specific investigations and activities of the UFO RESEARCH CENTER OF PENNSYLVANIA (UFORCOP) Search Team. This includes an "INVESTIGATION MORGANTON, NC JUNE 2012" concerning "BROWN MOUNTAIN LIGHTS." Upcoming field trips for the search team are listed for Missouri, Ohio, and North Carolina.

Support and Advocacy

The magazine promotes the "Disclosure Project," encouraging donations to support their efforts. A call to action, "Donate Now! Support the Disclosure Project," is accompanied by the website www.paradigmresearchgroup.org. The UFORCOP Search Team is also promoted with images of their patch and merchandise, including vests and caps.

Notable UFO Quotes

A section dedicated to "Notable UFO Quotes" features statements from prominent figures in the UFO field:

• Stanton Friedman, Defense Contractor Nuclear Physicist, asserts that "The evidence is overwhelming that Planet Earth is being visited by intelligently controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft." He believes that increased education makes people more likely to accept this proposition.
• General Nathan Twining, Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (1955-1958), is quoted as saying, "The UFO phenomenon being reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious."
• Dr. J. Allen Hynek, Director of US Air Force Project Blue Book, is quoted on the potential significance of a UFO solution: "When the long awaited solution to the UFO problem comes, I believe that it will prove to be not merely the next small step in the march of science, but a mighty and totally unexpected quantum leap." He also notes the need to "keep the public from getting excited."

Historical Context and Other Content

The issue includes an image related to the "Kenneth Arnold" sighting, marking "When It All Started" on June 24, 1947. Another article, "VISITOR OR CAMERA GLITCH?", discusses a solar image from the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) where a supposed "spaceship" was identified by lead ground systems engineer Nathan Rich as streaks left by cosmic rays or charged particles passing through the camera's sensor (CCD).

Branding and Copyright

The magazine's branding includes the motto "NOS PETO VERUM” – "We Seek the Truth," with a copyright notice for 2010-2012.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are UFO detection methods and their limitations, the importance of rigorous investigation, the promotion of UFO research organizations like UFORCOP and the Disclosure Project, and the historical significance of key UFO cases and quotes. The editorial stance appears to be one of critical inquiry, emphasizing the need for accurate data and equipment understanding while acknowledging the reality and significance of the UFO phenomenon as supported by expert opinions.
