David Hooper showcases his work on a multispectral UAP detection system at the UAP Hackathon 2025 in San Francisco. Hooper's innovative gimbal tracking system integrates various cameras (UV, visible, IR) and a custom pan-tilt head with a slip ring, overcoming limitations of standard security cameras. The system aims for consumer-friendly plug-and-play integration, utilizing readily available components like common camcorders.
The discussion also covers the use of passive radar (via SDRs) to detect UAP position, velocity, and acceleration, and the importance of multimodal data analysis (including atomic clocks for time dilation detection) to objectively analyze UAP phenomena and validate online videos. The hackathon focuses on creating a decentralized, blockchain-managed sensor network for widespread UAP data collection and AI-driven analysis.
Hooper's future plans involve field work with experiencers, business development, and creating affordable consumer-grade UAP detection technology (under $250 per device for passive radar, LWIR mobile attachment, and atomic clock). He can be contacted on X (Twitter) @DavidHooperR.
