SCU/Knuth multi-sensor triangulation methodology.
documentedframeworkScientific Instrumentation & Sensor Data
The SCU/Knuth analytical argument that combining pilot visual contact, WSO observation, Princeton Aegis radar, and ATFLIR infrared video across different bands and geometries cross-validates the object's size (~40 ft from three independent platforms) and motion, minimizing single-sensor error or single-witness misperception.
Core defense of the case's reliability: multiple trained observers in multiple modalities corroborate the reports, so fabrication or isolated equipment malfunction is, per the authors, greatly reduced. Three independent ~40-ft size estimates are cited as a key corroboration. The methodology itself is documented; the inference that triangulation establishes anomalous performance is the contested step that the parallax/uncertainty critique attacks.
