Building a UAP "Dog Whistle": Exploring the Skywatcher Phenomenon

Here at Enigmatic Ideas, we tinker with esoteric concepts and explore the boundaries of what we think we know about reality. Lately, there's been significant buzz around the Skywatcher YouTube series, particularly their claims about attracting Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs) using specific methods. Drawing inspiration from their work and publicly shared information, we decided to try to build our own version of a UAP "dog whistle" device.

In this article, we will explain exactly how to build one of these using a Raspberry Pi Zero, a rechargeable battery, a bluetooth speaker and some custom python code. The device is standalone and completely portable so it can be taken anywhere. We will provide all the details (including hardware used and custom code) so that you can try this out yourself.

Although we typically only share the details of our builds with our paid subscribers, this one is a freebie. Let's all summon UAPs!

Backstory

The Skywatcher organization, founded by former US Air Force veteran Jake Barber and advised by national security expert Matt Pines, began its operations in early 2025. Their mission is to collect rigorous data on anomalous phenomena in the sky, understand what they represent, and share findings publicly. They employ different skill sets, including military, intelligence, and scientific expertise, to investigate the question of anomalous phenomena. Skywatcher uses two primary methods to try and attract UAPs to a location equipped with various sensors: "machine-based calling" (dubbed the "dog whistle") and "neuromeditative interaction" (or psionics).

Listen to the audio companion for this article below for additional background on Skywatchers and their UAP research methods.

According to Matt Pines, the machine-based calling method involves deploying a series of electromechanical signals that Skywatcher has reason to believe results in UAPs appearing near their location. James Fowler is identified as the engineer behind their original "Skywatcher system," which developed into this dog whistle. Skywatcher claims that after turning on their dog whistle equipment, they generally observe three to five different classes of UAP per day during operations, with UAPs literally coming to them day after day. They also note that when they experiment with not using the equipment, they haven't seen the daytime phenomena they typically observe. This systematic cause-and-effect experimentation has led them to specific custom capabilities that yield different UAP responses every time they are deployed for the right amount of time. However, they are careful to keep the specific configuration and method of their dog whistle "pretty close to our chest", viewing it as their "secret sauce" developed with significant time and energy.

Despite Skywatcher's discretion regarding their exact methods, a UFO influencer named Jason Wilde recently posted his own specifications for a UAP dog whistle on the platform X. He presented this as a guide on how to make such a device, claiming it was "super easy".

According to Jason Wilde's post, the signal contains several distinct components:

• 7.83 Hz carrier (via modulated 100 Hz base tone - linked to Schumann resonance)
• 528 Hz harmonic (described as a spiritual frequency)
• 17 kHz ultrasonic ping (described as subtle and suspected to be detectable by Non-Human Intelligence (NHI) technology)
• Organic 2.5 kHz chirps (occurring every 10 seconds, intended to provide a unique signature like creature calls)
• 432 Hz ambient pad (a smooth masking layer)
• Breath layer (white noise shaped to feel "alive")

Wilde instructs users to either pulse the signal or play it straight, emphasizing that low volume is sufficient as volume does not matter in this context.

It's important to acknowledge whether this research and experimentation, even based on publicly shared, unverified specifications, is a good idea in the first place.

Skywatcher personnel have spoken of historic injuries associated with the phenomenon, including exposure to radiation and directed energy. They take precautions such as using radiological measurement equipment. There's also the profound question of intent – whether the intelligence behind these phenomena, if any, is benevolent or malevolent. Skywatcher operates with a specific oath emphasizing humility and a loving, welcoming disposition, deliberately not taking an offensive or defensive posture.

Listen to Jake Barber from Skywatcher below offer his thoughts on the UAP "dog whistle" and the potential of opening pandora's box.

Throwing caution to the wind, we were inspired by this public-domain information and the intriguing claims from Skywatcher, so we've taken Jason Wilde's specifications and built a device using a Raspberry Pi Zero. Our approach aligns conceptually using a system to generate a WAV file with six distinct audio layers, managed by a player and systemd service scripts.

The layers our audio generation script are nearly identical to Jason Wilde's list, including:

• Schumann Resonance (7.83 Hz AM modulated over 100 Hz carrier)
• Harmonic Tone (528 Hz with added harmonics)
• High-Frequency Pings (17 kHz, occurring every 5 seconds)
• Frequency Chirps (2.5 kHz sweeping upward every 10 seconds)
• Ambient Pad (432 Hz with multiple harmonics)
• Breathing White Noise (shaped to simulate a breathing rhythm)

While the exact timing of the pings differs (every 5 seconds vs. just "17 kHz ultrasonic ping" in Wilde's list), and the chirps are described as sweeping upwards, the core components of the signal structure proposed by Wilde were achievable using a Python script.

This is what the device sounds like when running:

Below are the details for setting this up if you would like to try this yourself. The assumption is that you have a familiarity with installing the Raspberry PI OS and can navigate within a Linux OS.

First the hardware that was used:

1. Raspberry Pi Zero
2. PiSugar3 1200 mAh Rechargeable battery
3. PiSugar3 3d-printed Pi Zero case
4. Anker Soundcore 2 Bluetooth speaker

Software:

1. audio signal generation script - uap3-generator.py
2. audio player script - uap3-player.py
3. audio player service - ua3-player.service

Setup

There are three setup steps - first you'll need to configure bluetooth so that your Raspberry Pi Zero automatically connects to your speaker. Next, you'll generate the "dog whistle" signal wav file that can be played by a player service. And then lastly, you'll configure a player service which will automatically play the signal when the speaker is active and detected.

Honestly, the most difficult part of this project was configuring bluetooth. If you're using the most recent Raspberry Pi OS (Bookworm), the pipewire library replaces pulse audio for the audio system. Save yourself a lot of heartache and use this set of steps to get bluetooth to reliably connect to a speaker.

Also, with the Pi Zero, wifi and bluetooth share the same underlying BCM2835 single-core chip.  We noticed that wifi contention made it difficult for python to generate audio on the fly and reliably output to bluetooth without continual buffer overruns.

To address this, we pre-render the audio file. That is what the uap3-generator.py script does. Run that script once to generate a .wav file and then the player service will find it and play it automatically when the speaker is active. Here's the steps to configure the signal generator and playback service.

When you are done you should have a working configuration where when the speaker is started it will automatically connect to the Pi and the audio signal should just start playing. What's nice about this is that nothing has to be installed on your phone - it's a completely standalone device. Simply power it up and wait for the UAPs to arrive. 😄

Does this work?

The underlying hypothesis behind this kind of device, and Skywatcher's machine calling, is that certain specific signals, whether audio or electromagnetic, might be detectable by or of interest to UAPs. Skywatcher is actively researching how and why their methods might work. They are conducting field experiments with sensors like radar, electro-optical and infrared cameras, and laser rangefinders to collect data when UAPs appear. They categorize observed UAPs into nine classes based on visual representation, movement, and the means used to attract them. Some classes are described as seemingly behaving like biological creatures, others like metallic objects, and others as light-based anomalies.

Our build, based on Jason Wilde's shared specifications, is an experimental exploration into the same idea. It's important to remember that Wilde's recipe may not be the precise, tested method used by Skywatcher, who keep their techniques proprietary. However, it provides a tangible set of instructions for anyone interested in building a device based on the concept of a UAP dog whistle.

This is the type of project we like at Enigmatic Ideas – building and experimenting with devices that touch upon the enigmatic, paranormal, and weird, pushing the boundaries of conventional understanding. We're excited to explore whether a device built to these specifications yields any interesting results, always proceeding with caution and an awareness of the unknown factors involved.

Stay tuned for updates on our UAP dog whistle build and any observations we might make!
