The SETV ETp or "ET phone" (also known as "ET Primer").
The ETp is an Active SETV experiment. The ETp platform mission, overall, provides behavioral investigators with a portable programmable bidirectional INTERFACE to enable well planned experiments, hopefully, to interactively engage suspected ET probes. The ETp platform employs resident 'built-in' autonomous data acquisition data-logging facilities to auto-log event data. There are no imaging cameras employed.
The ETp experiment is an attempt to attract, engage and establish interaction with a responsive ETI probe using a simple optically transmitted code. A photonic technique is used, as well as a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, with the assumption being that ETI probes are capable of detecting and emitting certain electromagnetic spectra. This assumption is borne both by speculative thought as well as derived from numerous Human observational anecdotally collected reports of interaction and the ETp designer's personal observation of suspected ET probe behavior. The base ETp experiment attempts to replicate known Human interaction with suspected ET probes.
ETp experiment design is 'data' driven. Experiment designer, W. Williams, having reviewed roughly 5,000+ anecdotal suspected ET probe behavior sighting reports noticed emmergent and invariant patterns, "There are numerous curious patterns to be seen within the mountain of UFOologically collected data if one is thorough and tenacious. Perhaps the most fascinating are the reports which describe apparent invitational interaction activity between Humans and suspected ET probes." A collection of these interaction reports have been acquired.
These interaction reports may be summarized:
- Typically in low light conditions, Humans are reported to observe
suspected ET probes which generally appear as
spherically shaped light source remotely
located at varying distances ranging from a few meters (few feet) to
10s of kilometers (10s of miles), hovering stationary
or moving in the sky. Desiring to interact, Human
observer points a light source in direction of the suspected ET probe
while 'modulating' light source by alternately
extinguishing and illuminating the light,
thereby, "signaling" the suspected ET probe. Suspected ET probes often
respond by mimicing or replicating the Human originated light source 'flash' signaling
pattern again by alternating
on-off ET object illumination.
Dr. Strand is replicating the ETp experiment which was demonstrated to him in 2001 by W. Williams in his home in California, USA.
There are other similar reports of interaction between responsive suspected ET probes and Human observers. These will be uploaded to website as time permits. Various light sources reportedly used to signal are itemized below:
- wax candle waving
- oil-wick rail-road semaphore lantern red/green color change signaling
- incadescent hand-held flashlight on-off blink signaling
- incadescent halogen hand-held megawatt spotlight on-off blink signaling, (NIDS)
- podium LASER on-off blink signaling (Steven Greer, M.D., and Sherri Adiamak, 1992 Santa Barbara, California, USA)
- automobile headlight on-off blink signaling
- airport rotating beacon mimicry, suspected ET probe mimicing beacon light pattern
Thank you.
As an aside there have also been non-photonic mimicry reported:
- Harley Rutledge (Ph.D., dept chair, physics, U of Missouri), also reported mimicry of stars over his neighborhood, which he named "pseudo-stars", as well as having interacted using flashlights in manner described above.
- Bruce Cornet (Ph.D. paleontology) imaged, as well as personally observed a 747 sized large form 'black' aircraft which flew directly over him in daylight that exhibited no engine pods or visible engines.
- Meteor astronomers Sirko Molau (Ph.D. astrophysics) and Aleister McBeath (Ph.D. astronomy) described to W. Williams, "dark-meteors" that seemingly mimic the behavior of meteors which don't emit light while moving at high speeds through the atmosphere. This latter point, is interesting reading. If one were to substitute term "dark-meteor" with "UFO" one would be hard-pressed to distinguish between literature about reported reactions of meteor astronomers and literature reporting reactions of the scientific community of the 1950s and 1960s with regard to suspected ET probes (UFO). (It may be that ET probes use meteor radiants as camoflage to both enter and exit the Earth's atmosphere undetected.)

- ET Object Illumination ET object illumination is believed to be the result of highly energetic atmospheric ionization speculated to be caused by an intense electric 'field' which surrounds (coronal ensheathment) certain suspected ET probes. Discretely the power, one may speculate, of the 'field' is increased or decreased thereby changing the intensity of the atmospheric ionization and the energy of the resultant emitted photons which Human observer perceives collectively as ET object light signaling. Paul Hill (Ph.D., NASA propulsion physicist), speculates (via his own personal observation of several operating suspected ET probes and detailed scientific observation analysis outlined in his manuscript) that the ensheathment field is employed as a laminar air-flow control system or "artificial air-foil" which may be used by suspected ET probes to eliminate through atmosphere sonic-booms, probe hull heating, and atmospheric borne particle 'collision' avoidance.

The ETp experiment attempts to replicate the characteristics of Human to suspected ET probe interaction. The characteristics may be briefly itemized as:
Details to be continued (last mod date: 12-04-2003)....
Ultimately the ETp experiment, will attempt to 'teach' an alphabet in one of several Human languages (e.g., English, Hebrew, Chinese, Latin, and et cetera) and the first ten ordinal numbers. Currently the primer only teaches English alphabet and the first ten ordinal numbers and are repeatedly transmitted unless an interactive response is detected. The optical coding method selected is International Morse Code as it is believed to be the oldest electric signaling method used continuously on Earth to this day. The radio frequency (RF) transmission of the International Morse Code is encoded utilizing frequency shift keying (FSK). The logic being, should an ET probe be near the Earth or operating within the Earth's atmosphere, the probe(s) may have been operating for an extended period, and may have already received and decoded the common transmission methods.
The optical code is transmitted using selectable semiconductor generated photonic and radiometric spectra:
Transmissions from a VHF analog full duplex residential 72 mHz radio transceiver with monopole antenna can also be concurrently sent, (employing a PC sound-card/DSP synthesizer) along with the photonic emissions to broadcast spoken letters, numbers or words. In concert with the primer code, a large LCD projection screened image may be projected to present letter symbols, words and pictographic icons.
While currently the ETp encodes the International Morse Code, multiple encoding schemes may be employed to transmit and receive messages. To facilitate sending the primer in multiple languages, discrete multiwave-length (monochromatic) fixed length Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals may be encoded with the 16-bit Unicode Standard (ver. 2.1). Unicode currently supports a 38,887 character set (as of 1998) and proposals have been submitted to the standards committee to add many unique charcters (glyphs), including a set of 5,384 Egyptian hieroglyphics. Unicode's versatility and use in transmitting even ancient languages, makes it superior to its 8-bit USASCII and the International Morse counterparts, which are currently employed in the ETp configuration.
Photonic transmitter mounts boresighted to zenith which gives 360° x ~270° degrees azimuth and elevated axis field of transmission. Photonic transmission intensities are scaled to produce an attraction range of 300 meters (based on Human visual sensitivity). The photonic emitters are coupled to the SETV ETp Data Acquisition System (DAS). The photonic detector is a silicon 'blue enhanced' detector filtered to match the emitters using a programmable servoed filter wheel (not shown). The photonic detector is interfaced locally via a high performance negatively biased preamplifier and is coupled to the ETp DAS via filter/amplifier. The DAS is comprised of filter stages and a NS COP-8 microcontroller which implements an on-chip 8 bit analog to digital converter. The quantisized data is also converted on-chip to EIA serial protocol. The serial data is level shifted to RS-421 for telemeter to a remote laptop computer for data management and archival operations. The control software implements an 'executive' which manages time-stamping (via GPS-TAPR-TAC), platform health monitoring, photonic measurements and decodes possible photonic probe interaction response. The ETp DAS system also records and timestamps raw data on each sample to hard disk.
Optical detector sensitivity is calibrated to enable an interaction/communication feedback range of less than or equal 20 meters. Essentially, for feedback and interaction to occur, an ETI probe must produce detectable emissions and be located within 20 meters of the platform on any axis except below the platform. The ETp platform configuration is designed for night-time (2100 to 0500 local time) operation only.
As the ETp is a programmable contact interaction platform, a series of discrete ' experiments have been planned.
One ETp experiment will attempt to teach a probe an alphanumeric symbol set that can in turn be used to teach words to build basic sentence structure and teach ideas with the aid of the LCD projection display system. Rather than trying to decode a probe's communication, teaching a primer to a probe significantly eases the burden of decoding returned or echoed responses. Since the OSR SETV ETp platform is programmable, its functions are only limited by the inventivness of the deploying investigator.
Summerizing, the ETp experiment mission attempts to allow suspected ET probe interactions, by replicating characteristics which have been known to cause suspected mimicry interaction between suspected ET probes and Human observers and to do so in a controlled and automatic data logging method. Granted, a probe may or may not be able to communicate with the ETp using the optical methods outlined. However, if interaction is attempted, even though actual communication may fail, we may learn a good deal about the probe's communication abilities.
Included in ETp design process is a study of ways in which the recorded data could possibly be misleading, fraudulent or hoaxed, with a rigourous understanding of how an ETp contact event could be faked, the possibility of a hoax can be eliminated.
ETp Experiment series descriptions will be uploaded with anecdotal feature support data and the details of the CE-V event which transpired in Canoga Park, California, USA, July 1998 which initiated the phase C (ETp) platform design and construction as time permits.
