UFO Detector
More than 1/3 of Americans believe in UFO’s and one in 10 Americans believe
that they have seen a UFO according to a study by National Geographic Channel.
UFO sightings are reported all over the planet by thou- sands of people. Most
UFO sightings can be classified as misiden- tified aircraft, planets or other
aerial phenomena, but not all. A small percentage of UFO sightings exist that
can’t be explained.
Granted these unexplained sightings attract fringe person- alities and
hucksters that ought not be taken seriously. But one should not discount the
entire subject of UFO’s based upon the psycho-ramblings of a few individuals
or groups. UFO enthusiasts know the odds are stacked against them regarding
credibility.
UFO’s can be debated intelligently on both sides of the fence. This article
will not enter the debate. But if UFO’s has ever aroused your curiosity you
may be interested in building a UFO Detector, see figure 1.
So how do we detect UFO’s if we’re not even sure UFO’s exists? Well, we rely
on information reported from past UFO sight- ings.
Countless UFO sightings report electromagnetic disturb- ances. Our UFO
Detector contains a sensitive miniature magne- tometer interfaced to a micro-
controller that is designed to sensethese electromagnetic disturbances.
While the UFO detector is monitoring, the LED’s light in a circular rotating
pattern around the edge of the circuit board. If a magnetic anomaly is
detected it signals the detection by flashing all 16 LED’s simultaneously and
beeping.

Some magnetic anomalies that have been reported in-
clude, a running car engine will stumble, cough, and stall. Magnet- ic
compasses swing wildly around and around during UFO sight- ings.
Using the magnetic anomaly side effect is not a new idea. There are a number
of simple plans around the Internet that use a magnet suspended on a
conductive wire through a ring terminal, see figure 2. When something causes
the magnet to move, the conductive wire touches the ring terminal completing
an electric signaling circuit that sounds an alarm or causes a light to turn
on.
UFO sightings are rare events. That’s where our UFO De- tector comes in. The
UFO Detector will operate 24 hours a day,
seven days a week while plugged in.
The UFO detector is housed in a sculptured transparent plastic case that is
suitable for display on a desk, shelf, or dresser. It is approximately 3
inches in diameter, and stands 4 inches tall. It uses a 6V wall transformer
(included).
Circuit Function
Our microcontroller monitors the amplified signal from a coil inductor which is a magnetometer for any anomalies. When it detects a magnetic anomaly, the microcontroller signals by flash- ing the 16 LED lights simultaneously and beeping. When the unit is in monitoring mode, the LEDs light in a moving circular pattern around the edge of the circuit board.
UFO Detector Function
**** When power is applied to the circuit (or reset), the micro- controller
waits a second before beginning active scanning of the inductor coil sensor.
After the initial second has elapsed the micro- controller signals the LEDs to
light in a moving circular pattern and beeps once signaling it’s in detector
mode.
The microcontroller continually scans the inductor coil sen- sor for any
changes in the magnetic field. If it detectors an anom- aly the detector beeps
an alarm and all LEDs blink simultaneously. The alarm will continue until the
circuit is reset.
Keep ferrous material away from the sensor. Moving fer-rous materials by the
sensor may trigger the detector.
Testing
Choose a location that you feel is relatively clear of exter- nal magnetic fields. These may cause false triggering or reduced sensitivity respectively. Turn the UFO detector right side up to ap- ply power to the circuit. After one second the UFO Detector circuit will beep and the LED lights will begin flashing in a moving circular pattern to let you know it is in its detector mode. Once in its detec- tor state, the UFO Detector will signal any magnetic or electro- magnetic anomalies and any change it senses in our Earth’s mag- netic field.
There are many ways to test the UFO detector. Once trig- gered the UFO Detector will continue to signal by flashing its LED and beeping until it is reset. If you used the mercury-reset switch, reset the circuit by turning the circuit upside down for a few sec- onds, then placing it right side up.
Test the UFO Detector by waving a magnet a few inches away from the detector.
In addition to passing a magnet by the detector, one can obtain similar
results by waving a ferrous materi- al (like iron) close to the detector
sensor as described for the mag- net.
Apply power to the UFO Detector with the included 9V wall transformer. After 1
second the detector will beep once and the
LED light will begin lighting in a rotating fashion.

Test the UFO Detector by waving a magnet over the detec- tor as shown in the top two images below. This will cause an alarm to sound and all the LED lights to flash simultaneously.
To reset the alarm, turn the UFO Detector upside down. This turns off and resets the circuit. Sometime the mercury will stick to the bottom electrodes in the switch even when the UFO detector is turned upside down and keep the circuit powered. Just tap or jiggle the detector a little to make the mercury fall.
