The M.A.D.A.R Project

In November 1970 a series of experiments with magnetic variometers were conducted in New Hampshire and continued until September 1972. MADAR stands for Multiple Anomaly Detection & Automated Recording. There were thirteen detector sites spread throughout the very rural areas. Two researchers, David Webb and John Oswald logged twenty-two good events out of six hundred fifty-nine. This meant that the detectors registered six hundred fifty-nine events where a UFO set the detector off, and twenty-two of these were confirmed by another eye-witness somewhere that reported it. A report from an outside source was matched up with one of the detector events, totaling twenty-two.

"Preliminary data strongly suggests a connection between magnetic/electromagnetic anomalies and the genuine UFO events. The purpose of the project was two-fold: 1) to act as an early warning system for presence of magnetic anomalies and early visual anomalistic target acquisition. Data was acquired by automatic and manually-operated devices. 2) Event data was correlated with reported visual sightings in the region. The detection system, which became known as MADAR, was designed by Lewis G. Blevins and Francis L. Ridge in 1960. E-M effects are those which disrupt electrical circuits, cause engine failure in automobiles, produce radio interference, etc. Concentrating research to a category, the MADAR Project was designed to demonstrate that UFO's were not only witnessed by reliable observers, but also by electronic devices which cannot hallucinate. The purpose in having a UFO detection system was two-fold: 1) Possibly observe a UFO and conduct scientific experiments during an event. 2) The device would operate as an unmanned automatic station, acquiring data whether manned or not. The data would provide possible correlations with visual sightings on a regional level, and hopefully on radar. The 'sensor' is isolated from all other natural or man-made E-M sources, the very small reading one is left with is simply the earth's own magnetic field, doesn't vary more than five percent from its static average, the 'background' is perfect. The classic magnet variometers is a mechanical sensor. Besides tending to be simple in construction and operation, mechanical sensors offer a bonus that helps improve the signal-to-noise ratio."
