David Mason

David was born and raised in Bellevue Washington. At age five his parents gave him a soldering iron and he showed his electronics projects to his kindergarten class. He soon developed an interest in astronomy and by age 10 he built a small Newtonian telescope using plumbing parts. He had an interest in lead guitar and at age 14 he began building his own Marshall tube guitar amplifiers and changed the design for custom sounds. By age 22 he was employed as an electronic engineer at Nye Viking, a Ham radio product manufacturer, where he designed electronic circuits for RF power monitors and wrote the metrology manuals for the calibration procedures of his designs. He started his own private electronic engineering consulting business and engineered and built a vector impedance oscilloscope that fits in the palm of the hand. He co-founded an electronic test and measurement equipment custom engineering and supply corporation where he presently contracts with the US government, aerospace, and industrial sectors. In his spare time, he volunteers at Bellevue College where he studied astronomy maintaining and calibrating the astronomical observatory. Some of his new technology devices were used in the movie "A Tear in the Sky" with William Shatner and Michio Kaku, where David worked as the inventor, science and technology researcher, and analyst. David supplied all of the FLIR cameras, inventions, and the large array of equipment used in the multi-award-winning movie documentary "A Tear in the Sky" which was directed and produced by Caroline Cory. David's interest in the UFO/UAP phenomenon began at age 13 when he built a "UFO detector" using a compass and electro-optical components. After reading many UFO reports that included pulsing lights he concluded it must be a form of light-wave communication. At age 17 he built a photodiode detection circuit into a pair of binoculars to enable listening to the lights of unknown aerial objects as well as a light-wave modulation transmitter using fluorescent lamps. His big discovery of using FLIR thermal cameras in UFO/UAP detection occurred accidentally. In 2005 David decided to use his scientific research grade test lab FLIR thermal camera outdoors to observe commercial jets. While aiming the FLIR camera toward the sky during daylight he recorded two very large boomerang shape objects flying overhead. The objects were invisible and made no sound. According to the FLIR camera, calibrated temperature span of the objects measured -30 Fahrenheit. This discovery of unknown aerial objects being invisible to the visual spectrum and measuring very cold increased David's interest in the UFO/UAP phenomenon. He began to invest capital into multiple research-grade FLIR cameras and various research device technologies. To this day he continues to engineer and develop new technologies for research of the UFO/UAP phenomenon, as well as other technological developments. David's hobbies and interests include solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar composition and recording, audio Hi-Fi amplifier and loudspeaker cone and voice-coil engineering, consulting with pro audio product manufacturers, consulting with groups researching the UFO/ UAP phenomenon, volunteering with astronomy clubs, astrophotography, mineral prospecting including radiation detection, and enjoying his collection of exotic sports cars.
