OK, John, here it is. It can be constructed for the price of a 12v
battery, a door buzzer or bell a magnet and some wire. The housing is a
large jar such as institutional size foods come in. The base is a simple
wood block and the strut can be a coat hanger. The rest should be self
explanatory, but if you have any questions, feel free.
The magnet is delfected by any strong magnetic field, such as that which
is purportedly produced by a UFO. If the field is strong enough, the
circuitis closed and the buzzer sounds. The loop shouldn't be more than 1"
in diameter and the wire should be as thin as possible depending on the
battery you use. The beauty of this is it will not make a sound if the UFO
is an airplane or AF test craft, unless they are using exotic power
supplies.
----------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, you may get spurious readings during times of high solar
activity. I have seen plans for an "Aurora Detector" similar to what is
described. Basically, the rise in the flux of the magnetic particles from
the sun would trigger the buzzer. This would be quite erratic, especially
during an auroral display.
BTW, why do UFO's have intense magnetic fields? I must have missed
that part.
