~20 years ago at 2:30am, an AM radio anomaly sensor array detected unprecedented interference patterns near Palomar Observatory. Visual confirmation showed an aerial object approximately 1 mile above the facility exhibiting rapid positional changes (sub-second displacement intervals) that exceeded typical tracking capabilities.
The detection system was specifically designed to monitor electromagnetic anomalies in the AM frequency band, suggesting the object either emitted or disrupted radio signals in a measurable way. The proximity to Palomar Observatory (a major astronomical research facility with sensitive instrumentation) adds context to the electromagnetic signature.
Original analog recording preserved on magnetic tape, currently being digitized for analysis. The sarcastic "Mylar birthday balloons" comment implies the object's behavior was inconsistent with conventional explanations—balloons don't trigger RF sensors or execute instantaneous position changes.
Key technical questions: What specific AM frequencies triggered the alert? Was there a correlation between visual movement and RF signature changes? Did Palomar's own sensors log anything concurrent?
