Tim Hebert's MUFON Report as our process would rework it

An example of what our Analytics program would do to a report like that which Tim analyzed and provided as an example of his approach. Here is his URL for his exquisite evaluation:

We are not interested in UFO sightings as such but in those encounter stories presented by Albert Rosales vast library of them, many also offered by Preston Dennett, and those illustrated by Jose Caravaca in his books.

But as an example of what our process would do to UFO stories, here is an "edited" copy of Tim's MUFON report as we'd cleanse it of extraneous materials for our purpose:

" my girlfriend and I witnessed an extremely bright hovering object, amber in color. a better view of it over the treetops and witnessed what looked like a triangular light pattern -- one very large, very bright amber light in the nose and a smaller flashing light on each wingtip and center which stayed illuminated but strobed brighter in order from left to right.. Because it was so far away we could not make out any structure. The large light was unlike anything we had seen in the sky before in terms of its size and brightness. 

we saw the object again, hovering back close to its original position. It was much closer

The object was very close. I would compare it to watching a plane in take-off pass overhead in terms of its distances. it stopped hovering and began moving -- drifting might be a more fitting verb -- across the sky towards us. the object passed directly overhead. As it did we both witnessed the solid black outline of an equilateral diamond: a small white running light in the center and at each tip with an over-sized, amber-colored seemingly directional (forward to forward-down) light at its nose and a significantly dimmer light on its tail. The three lights from wingtip to wingtip constantly strobed in a right-to-left direction as it moved away from us. The object was silent as it passed over and disappeared 

continue watching it but  it was nowhere in sight -- until we happened to catch the faint strobe of the object now a great distance away.We watched this object glide back and forth across the sky at a great distance --. her mother came outside to watch it pass at about 45 degrees above the horizon close enough to make out the triangular front of the object. We kept noticing that it seemed to pass in a straight line until we could not see it anymore and then begin its trajectory again from where it started -- but we never saw it fly back. We assumed that we simply missed its return path. Finally we watched one disappear into the distance and made sure to watch for its return. It never flew back. Suddenly it was once again close.  faint strobe of the object now a great distance away.We watched this object glide back and forth across the sky at a great distance -- -- for over an hour.

We tracked the object as it passed about 60 degrees above the horizon when suddenly we noticed a second, identical object flying towards us from a great distance. We continued watching these two objects pass back across the sky.

The total sighting lasted from 9:20pm to 10:45pm.

End of submitted report."

This is only the information needing analysis. Personal and unnecessary details emended.

We will highlight any information found in other accounts -- our encounter reports only -- which were like or similar to information in other non-related reports.

To include flight data, weather data, personal information, psychological information, and other details outside or peripheral to a supposed "alien: encounter is not what we propose to do.

Also, and importantly so, UFO sightings like that "edited" above have no purpose for our attempt to find credible, unusual (unique) similarities in, at least, enough reported tales to make a case for the reality of a strange encounter of a person or being who is not of our known reality.

Getting sidetracked by "data" and asides that do not attain to our purpose for this endeavor is not acceptable to the young computer wizards I've asked to do this.
