Most important thing: take your baseline measurements multiple times - morning, afternoon, evening, middle of the night if possible.

Count me in for June observations. I've got a decent telescope and binoculars setup. The longest daylight hours should actually make it easier to spot daytime anomalies, which are rarer but often...

Just get a second-hand TriField from eBay for about £120. You'll find them reasonably often. Way better value and honestly after you've used it for a few months you'll understand whether you want...

Question: have you had any actually interesting thermal anomalies that you couldn't explain? I'm thinking about setting this up in my flat because I keep getting cold spots in one corner and I'm...

doors slamming when the windows are closed Air pressure differences or drafts around window and door frames in old buildings are notorious for this.

News drop: The Ministry of Defence has released another batch of declassified UFO/UAP documents through Freedom of Information requests, focusing on 1970s-1980s sightings across the UK.
For a church specifically, check where heating/cooling systems are, where water pipes run, any air vents. Document all of that in your baseline.
Evening all. I've been cataloguing East Anglian mystery animal reports for a while now, and I'm noticing a spike in 'Black Shuck' sightings (the legendary hellhound creature) during autumn months,...
Did you get any footage on your phone at all? Even rubbish phone footage is better than no footage. And honestly if you're serious about this, a £300 thermal camera AND a decent torch and a...

South Wales here - I could get to Brecon Beacons for observation work. This is exciting. Count me in for coordination.
EMF detectors definitely behave differently in extreme cold. I tested mine at -2°C and the sensitivity dropped noticeably.

Honestly? Invest in a decent noise gate and filters before you invest in expensive microphones. You want to eliminate background noise - fridges, AC units, street noise - as much as possible.

is there a significant difference between a proper EMF meter and those cheap ones Honestly? Not really, functionally speaking. The difference is in reliability and filtering.

Victorian flats have terrible wiring. Honestly mate, your building probably needs rewiring if it hasn't been done in the last twenty years.
Skip the thermal, get yourself a proper astronomy camera instead. Something like a used astronomy CCD camera will pick up faint objects way better than thermal for this kind of thing.

has anyone noticed increased UAP activity around the summer solstice I'd love to see the data on this. How significant is the increase?

Most EVP recordings are pareidolia - your brain recognising patterns in white noise that sound like voices. It's not a criticism, it's how human brains work.

Should I be measuring air pressure? Not worth it unless you're there for extended periods. Humidity is more useful actually - sudden humidity spikes can indicate water infiltration or condensation...

Electrical surges or unstable power supply could cause all of this at once. Get an electrician round to check your wiring and your electrical panel.
I've built something similar but used a Seek thermal camera instead (cheaper, actually). Does the job fine. Your £200 estimate is spot on. The FLIR software is better though, I'll give you that.
