"On the terrace of the Schneefernerhaus Environmental Research Station, located just below the summit of Germany’s highest mountain, Zugspitze, researchers from the Interdisciplinary Research Center for Extraterrestrial Studies (IFEX) at the University of Würzburg have installed a new AI-based camera observatory designed to detect UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and UFOs. The AllSkyCAM system will also serve as a testing platform for potential future deployment on Mars.

For several years, the IFEX team, under the leadership of Professor Hakan Kayal, has been developing and testing various versions of its "SkyCAM" systems at different locations. In addition to the facilities at the so-called "Blue Box" in Hessdalen, Norway—a high mountain valley known for decades of recurring sightings of mysterious lights and UFOs (the so-called Hessdalen Phenomena)—another system operates on the roof of the University of Würzburg. There, it is used to train an artificial intelligence algorithm to distinguish between known and common aerial objects (such as insects, birds, aircraft, satellites, or meteors) and unknown anomalous objects, phenomena, or appearances."
