extends Function

Symbolized as sigma.
It is a value between zero and one that indicates the "abnormality" level
of a report compared to normal processes, familiar phenomena
and known manufactured objects.
Seven factors commonly found in sighting reports have been carefully defined,
and one simply counts up the number of these factors recognized in reading
the report and divides by seven to record.
The seven factors (quoting verbatim from Ballester and Guasp) are:

• Anomalous appearance


• Existence of anomalous movements


• Apparition of physical-spatial incongruities


• Technological detection


• Close encounter


• Presence of beings associated with the UFO


• Finding of traces or production of effects
