20% weight

Scientific fields measure whether an event produced data that can be independently tested and verified. This includes radar confirmation, photographic and video evidence, sensor anomaly readings (radar, radio, GPS, electronics, camera), physical evidence (landing traces, burn marks, soil changes, radiation, magnetic anomalies, material samples, debris), and the chain of custody and analysis results for each piece of evidence. High scientific scores indicate events where the data could support or refute specific hypotheses.
