UFO-CQ - Send out a message to the Universe
UFO CQ is a way to send out a light message to the Universe as you are skywatching. It uses light and Morse code to send out a message up into sky.
Angular Size - Witness Helper
This program helps convert inches or centimeters held at a typical arm's length (25 inches or 64 cm) to angular size in degrees. Don't guess, use a ruler!
AstroCompass
Find true North by using the Sun or the Moon or your shadow. This PHONE app - is designed to help you find absolute directions, not subject to the Earth's magnetic field. If you are out on an investigation, and you need to get true bearings for Aziumth or direction, use the Sun or the Moon or your shadow and this app.
Color Identification
When a UFO witness is trying to describe colors on the object, use this tool to identify the color as closely as possible.
Decimal Degrees Convert to Degrees, Minutes and Seconds
Some formulas need degrees in a decimal format, others require Degrees, Minutes and Seconds. This conversion tool will help you handle both situations
Earth Distance and Bearing
As the crow flies, Earth Distance and Bearing from two Latitude, Longitude points on the Earth. Very useful measurement when investigating objects moving above the Earth's surface.
Elevation Angle - Witness Helper
Elevation angle is from the horizon up to an object. It{*}s easy to overestimate this angle!
Practice with the Moon.
Field of View
City Name search for Latitude and Longitude
When you need a quick reference to the Longitude and Latitude information for a general area - around a city - search on the city name and get the coordinates you need.
Calculate Degrees per Pixel
To accurately calculate an object{*}s size or distance, you must know the dimension of the photograph that took the picture. This information is in the MetaData - and this handy calculation will help you figure out the angular size - and perhaps more of objects in photographs.
Red Flashlight
Red Flashlight to keep your eyes adjusted on the skies, but able to see what you need to on the ground.

UFO Shape Assist
Keeping terminology the same between reports help with analysis and cross sighting insights. Use these names and descriptions for the shapes of objects if possible.
Sky Data - what was visible in the sky
Given any latitude, longitude and time of day, the typical visible astronomical objects are calculated. Many UFOs can easily be explained by brilliant planets - this is the first place to go to see if that is the case. It is the first place to go, if a planet has been used to dismiss a claim - just to verify for accuracy.
Solving Trianges
If you have any 3 known sides or angles (as long as there is at least one side), you can solve the triangle for the length of the other sides and its angles.
Digitizing Ratios
Enter a known length and its two digitized pixel end points.
Points 3 and 4 define an unknown length that will be calculated using ratios.
Two Camera Object
Triangulate objects with the locations of two cameras are known and they took pictures of the same object from different locations.
Phone Sensor: Accelerometer
Only for use on phones (not desktops), use your phone sensor to test gravity and x, y, z coordinates in space.
Phone Sensor - Magnetometer
For use only on the cell phone, use the magnetic sensors in your phone to detect anomalies in the area.
