Original excerpt
Triangulation of a UAP from the three units of the Galileo Project in Las Vegas, Nevada. The three observing units, labeled: sphere, hideout and wildhorse at the top left corner of each panel, are separated by 10.2, 10.1 and 2.0 kilometers from each other. The object inside the yellow box is observed from different directions by these three units, enabling a measurement of its distance. (Image Cr…

- →Galileo Project deployed three observatories (sphere, hideout, wildhorse) in Las Vegas separated by 2.0–10.2 km
- →Triangulation from multiple sites enables distance measurement to UAP
- →Object geometry and distance constraints can be extracted from directional observations
