We've been tracking UFOs on radar since the '50s - what have we learned? Mitch Randall discusses the history, technology & techniques involved with tracking UFOs on radar & shares his vision for the SkyWatch passive radar UFO tracking network.
Mitch Randall, the CEO of Ascendant AI and innovator behind the SkyWatch Passive Radar UAP tracking system. Skywatch was developed through the Galileo Project and hopes to detect UAP using reflected signals as an alternative to traditional radar technology.
Mitch has Masters Degrees in both Electrical Engineering & Physics, and has a long history in scientific instrumentation and radar - dating back to 1984. His experience includes roles at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), along with dozens of key inventions in radar technology widely used across industry.
Mitch co-founded Binet in the early 90s to bring bistatic 3D velocity measurement to research weather radars all over the world, and co-founded the Advanced Radar Corporation in the early 2000's to commercialize these innovations for applications in the commercial weather radar market. In 2005 he co-founded WildCharge to commercialize wireless charging technology for microelectronics, in 2018 co-founded Ascendant AI, and in 2021 he became a Research Team member of Harvard’s Galileo Project, where he developed the proof of concept of a SkyWatch receiver. He is the lead author of the paper describing the SkyWatch receiver for the Galileo Project in the Journal of Astronomical Instrumentation.
