F. S. Lyons presents an evidence-first method for examining unusual sightings before deciding what they mean.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-04 issue.

Field notes

The project turns unusual-sighting analysis into a sequence of recordkeeping and comparison tasks rather than a verdict machine. Its four-part system includes a book, field workbook, facilitator guide, and illustration manual; the latter is listed as a free PDF. The site also limits its own authority, describing the assessment as an author-developed reader aid rather than a scientifically validated probability or witness-certification test.
