Florida MUFON Presents: Scientists John and Gerry Tedesco discuss their "Nightcrawler Organization!
Join MUFON Florida State Director Matt Kellison featuring guest speakers John and Gerry Tedesco.
John Tedesco is an accomplished Electrical and Electronics Engineer with more than 40 years of experience in laboratory engineering, instrumentation design, and product safety evaluation, including over 25 years with Underwriters Laboratories. A patented inventor and IEEE member, his work spans advanced optical systems and applied research. He is currently affiliated with Harvard University’s Galileo Project under Dr. Avi Loeb, contributing to research on anomaly detection and unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP). He is also the author of Nightcrawler: Eye on the Sky.
Gerry Tedesco is an Avionics Specialist with GE Aerospace and a multidisciplinary researcher with experience in aerospace systems, defense manufacturing, and forensic laboratory science. He has supported advanced reconnaissance and surveillance programs for U.S. and allied forces and previously held a Department of Defense security clearance. He is also involved with Harvard University’s Galileo Project, led by Dr. Avi Loeb, supporting research into anomaly detection and UAP, and is a co-founder of the Nightcrawler: Eye on the Sky mobile laboratory.
Nightcrawler: Eye on the Sky, Inc. is a nonprofit scientific research organization dedicated to the systematic observation and analysis of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) and Unidentified Submerged Objects (USO) across both air and maritime environments. Led by John and Gerry Tedesco, the organization operates a mobile, multi-sensor laboratory platform designed to capture, validate, and analyze anomalous events using a cross-modal, physics-based detection framework. Their work is grounded in scientific rigor, repeatability, transparency, and real-world data acquisition.
Over the past four years, their research has progressed through multiple phases, beginning with grassroots, self-funded field investigations along coastal Long Island using optical and basic detection systems. These early efforts established baseline observational protocols and enabled frequent, high-tempo deployments. As their work advanced, they integrated electro-optical, infrared, and radar systems, developing a cross-modal detection methodology supported by strict calibration standards and data integrity practices.
This evolution led to the development of the “Nightcrawler” mobile laboratory: a fully integrated, multi-sensor telemetry platform equipped with multispectral imaging, advanced thermal technologies, active radar systems, RF detection, and real-time sensor fusion capabilities. Their current phase expands beyond aerial phenomena to include subsurface and maritime anomalies, incorporating marine radar, sonar, and underwater sensing technologies, with planned offshore expeditions in deep-water regions off Long Island and the Virginia coast.
Central to their operational philosophy is the principle that no single sensor defines reality; only the convergence of independent detection methods can produce credible evidence. This approach allows them to differentiate between artifacts and physical objects, distinguish reflected versus emitted energy, and simultaneously validate motion, thermal signatures, and signal behavior.
Today, Nightcrawler stands as a funded, multi-platform research initiative contributing to the broader landscape of independent and institutional UAP research.
Don’t miss this opportunity to hear directly from John and Gerry as they present their cutting-edge research and field work. Please join using the Zoom link provided below. The meeting is limited to the first 100 members, so make sure you log in a few minutes early to reserve your spot. If you can't make it, the recorded meeting link will be emailed to everyone shortly afterwards. Looking forward to seeing you!
