Re: [Vo]:What is a UFO detector?
From Daniel, Well, given that this is an offtopic subject, when will be you next session with Witch Doctor? Can we suggest questions for you? One can always suggest questions, to paraphrase an answer made famous in the film Ice Station Zebra. ;-) . Depending on the circumstances I may consider them. I have plenty of other priorities however. I also have no idea when I'll get another crack at the Witch Doctor. Could be a long time.

[Vo]:What is a UFO detector?
Hi On this page various UFO detectors can be bought? How do they work? What mesurable disturbances are UFOs causing? http://www.imagesco.com/ufo/ufo-detectors.html#ufo-02 David David Jonsson, Sweden, phone callto:+46703000370

David sez: Hi On this page various UFO detectors can be bought? How do they work? What mesurable disturbances are UFOs causing? http://www.imagesco.com/ufo/ufo-detectors.html#ufo-02 David I would recommend purchasing the second article in the list, the one with the cool looking spiral fractal pattern. Great conversation piece. As for detecting UFOs what works best for me is when I remove all the layers of tin-foil from underneath my underwear, and inside my hat. Reynolds aluminum foil is a lot cheaper too. ;-) Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks

Great conversation piece. I won't by anything until I get an explanation about what is being measured. It seems that they measure any changes to the earth magnetic field bigger than some threshold. I have ordered a three axis magnetometer but I don't know hat to build with it. maybe I do a similar detector. You can build a similar device yourself for less than $10 with a PC interface over USB so you can get all data logged. Buy a MSP430 microcontroller board for $4.30 incl. shipping from TI: https://estore.ti.com/Search.aspx?detail=1k=MSP-EXP430G2 and buy a 3-axis sensitive magnetometer at Digikey för $3.79: http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSearch/dksus.dll?Detailname=342-1082-1-ND Put them together via I2C with some soldering and maybe some voltage level adaptions and have the MSP430 send the data over USB to a PC that logs everything and send the measured data to some site on Internet. This setup is 10 times cheaper than the Imagesco stuff and better since everything is logged. If you can't detect a UFO with this device, which should be very unlikely, you will likely be able to detect the expected big magnetic storms originating from solar eruptions expected this and next year.
