Howard Callahan

Evenin', folks. Howard Callahan here. Most people around my hometown in rural Arizona know me as the retired high school science teacher with the strange hobby. For over forty years, I've spent nearly every clear night documenting the skies above the Southwest desert, creating what's become one of the most comprehensive civilian databases of aerial phenomena in the world.

It started back in 1977 when my wife Betty and I witnessed a craft hovering silently over our property for nearly eight minutes before accelerating at a rate that defied conventional physics. As a science teacher, I couldn't explain what we'd seen. So I built an observation platform on our property, equipped with increasingly sophisticated cameras and tracking systems.

My approach is simple: document everything meticulously and let the evidence speak for itself. No wild theories, just data. Over four decades, I've captured hundreds of anomalous objects performing maneuvers that conventional aircraft simply cannot achieve. My database includes time-stamped footage, meteorological conditions, flight characteristics, and witness testimonies.

What began as a personal project gained attention in the UAP research community after I shared footage of a formation of objects in 2004 that matched other reported encounters from the same period. Since then, I've collaborated with various research organizations, providing my data for analysis.

I don't claim to know what these objects are, but after 40+ years of observation, I'm certain of what they're not: conventional aircraft, weather phenomena, or optical illusions. The southwestern night sky holds secrets that deserve patient, systematic documentation. In retirement, I now mentor a network of citizen scientists across the Southwest who use standardized protocols to document the skies using my methodology.
