Had theory predicting ET signal for August 14, 15, 16 of 2015. Was only able tomake crude radio telescope. Received signal between 10:00 PM and 10:15 PM

 August 14 2015. Need to analyze duration of signal and time between them todetermine whether there is a mathematical pattern indicating intelligence.

The Radio Telescope is a 10 year old Direct TV Reception dish given to me by

my brother. Power source is 12 volt AC to DC Adapter. Used $1.75 satellitefinder for meter to measure strength of radio signals. Set gain at noise level,anything on top of that will make it sound.

Signal meter reading the hypothesized ET signal at 6. Reads five with no ET signal (5 is

background noise.)

The signals were around Sagittarius and Aquila on Aug 14 (as predicted),precisely +30 Degrees altitude, and 153 degrees South East at 10:00 to 10:15.They came in 4 four bursts of one, three, four, three approximately 84 seconds

apart.

I was filming when I was receiving the hypothetical ET signal. The event being filmed, I wasable to measure the duration of the signals and time between them by using the time indicatoron the quicktime movie.

UFO RA and Dec (As you can see I put in the wrong time in military time)

Turns out it is much more difficult than I thought to convert degrees above my horizon andazimuth (degrees from true north) to Right Ascension and Declination, but is easy in the sensethat there is an online calculator. Here are the results.

Input

Date: August 14 2015Time: 14:00:00 (10PM PST)Time Zone Offset: 8 hours west of GreenwichDaylight Savings Time: add one hourLattitude: 34 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds North

Longitude: 118 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds WestEpoch Year: 2015

Output:

Local Sidereal Time: 12:51:58

Right Ascension: 14h 31 min 41sDeclination: -21 degrees 6 minutes 26 seconds

Tirion Page: 21Uranometeria 2000 page: 332 volume iiMillenium page: 863 volume ii

Clearly whether or not it is daylight savings has little affect on the calculation. The UFO was atabout 14 hours 30 min hours 23 right ascension and -21 degrees declination. But none the lessthe add one hour is correct, it is summer and fall fall back, spring spring forward.

The Wow signal was measured on August 15, 1977 at 10:17 PM Eastern Time. I measured mysignal on August 14, 2015 between 10:00 PM and 10:15 PM PST. Measuring the Azimuth witha compass and altitude with a sextant, I was able to use an online converter to get the field ofview of the telescope at the time of the signal, which, using Cartes Du Ciel, I was able to obtainmaps of the field of view, which were around Libra, Ophiuchus, and Sagittarius. When I workedat the state observatory in Oregon, about 30 years ago, the professor that ran the observatory

took me out one night at sunrise to show me his favorite constellation, which was rising with thesun, and it was Ophiuchus. Libra is home to the most likely extrasolar planet to have life (gliese581) Here is the field of view of the hypothetical ET signal:

Here are the results with the correct time in military time (They make sense completely):

Input

Date: August 14 2015Time: 22:00:00 (10PM PST)

Time Zone Offset: 8 hours west of GreenwichDaylight Savings Time: add one hourLattitude: 34 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds NorthLongitude: 118 degrees 00 minutes 00 seconds WestEpoch Year: 2015Altitude: 30 DegreesAzimuth: 152 Degrees

Output:

Local Sidereal Time: 20:41:48

Right Ascension: 22h 24 min 33sDeclination: -20 degrees 45 minutes 8 seconds

Tirion Page: 23Uranometeria 2000 page: 347 volume iiMillenium page: 1355 volume iii

As you can see the result is about 3 hours east of Sagittarius. This makes sense. I pointed thetelescope at the Sagittarius/Aquila area because that is where my theory predicted the ET

signal should come from. But I decided to do a sweep of the sky and when I went a little east ofthe Sagittarius/Aquila area I got a strong reading and decided to measure over there, because itis still close to the right area. You will find if you look for this position on a sky map, the locationof the hypothetical ETs is in the constellation Aquarius, around a planetary nebula there calledNGC 7293. I will provide a map of that area that I obtained from Cartes Du Ciel:
