U.F.O. Spectrographic Analysis

[TheeObskure]

I've often wondered whether or not a spectrographic analysis might be of use as regards UFOs.

You should necessarily need to have the spectrograph on site during a sighting, provided that video or still images of sufficient quality are available. It wouldn't be as good as having the apparatus on the spot, but it might be interesting. At the very least, the colours could be correlated to the emission spectra of the various elements present.

If it's a plasma of some sort that generates the visible light, clues to the nature of the plasma (electron density, temperature, etc..) should be able to be cleaned from the color information.

As it is, some of what I've seen pictures and videos of seem to be run of the mill LED lighting, they have a very particular look to them. Others seem to be some sort of high density plasma, and still others resemble the orange/red glow of a helium/neon gas mixture.

Anyway, I guess this was just to say that you're not the only one that has had this "crazy idea"!

I've used IR cameras to a decent success. They block out the visible light spectrum, but record the higher spectrum that we cannot see.

i took an amazing photo by mistake one nite in pitch darkness by accidently pressing the button when i got them developed the pictute i took was like MAC 5s spectrograph but was distorted like a bullet had gone throurh it . it is on 35mm but dont know enough about computers to put it on line for you all to see and give me an opinion. any ideas more than welcome
