Scientist Muki Haklay blogged about the term CS entering the OED (link below). Quoting from MH's blog: "The first use of ‘citizen science’ in the meaning that we now use can be traced to an article in MIT Technology Review from January 1989. The article ‘Lab for the Environment’ tells the story of community-based laboratories to explore environmental hazards, laboratory work by Greenpeace, and Audubon’s recruitment of volunteers in a ‘citizen science’ programme."

Quoting from the Kerson article: "Audobon involves 225 society members from all 50 states in a "citizen science" program that gets information out within five weeks. Volunteers collect rain samples, test their acidity levels, and report the results to Audobon headquarters, which releases a monthly national map of acid-rain levels." (ref: Kerson, R., 1989, Lab for the Environment, MIT Technology Review, 92(1), 11-12)

Article in MIT Technology Review from January 1989 by R. Kerson.

Also described is a first use of the term 'Citizen Scientist' in an article in the New Statesman about 'Ufology' (see OED below). Quoting from MH's blog: "Just as interesting is the use of ‘citizen scientist’. It was used 10 years earlier, in an article in New Scientist that discussed enthusiasts researching Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) and identified ‘ufology’ as a field of study for these people".

Hi
I am making my first project and I would like to add a zoom button, however I cannot figure it out. My project is about UFOs and zoom would be probably be needed. Thanks

All I got was black subject images, otherwise everything worked fine.

If you are serious and this is not a poor attempt at humor you need to get your subject set reduced to images that just might have something in them. I don't think you will find aliens but there maybe useful science sorting out what people perceive as ufo's since there is a steady stream of sightings worldwide.

^If You are an Alien, then that's makes me a UFO Radar Radio Station, because I was able to send you a message across the galaxies on a smarthpone, ha! ha! ha!

I found my UFO Look at the top left

The object top left is (sadly) not a UFO but a foreground star from our galaxy.
The stripes, colours and weird centre are optical artifacts.
Happy hunting !

I am a citizen scientist researching the subject of UFOs, or as the US Government prefers to call them, UAP. I know how frustrating it can be when no one cares about your efforts. I care about it and want to hear about your research efforts. I have six FOIA letters to share from federal government officials and a whole lot of research of my own. Here is a recent video. I will be back, and trust me, I know how brutal skeptics can be, but I got news for them: in over 70 years, government scientists have failed to resolve it. It's time we took charge and did it ourselves, and I am very confident that it is extremely doable. I do not think our governments are on the right track in regard to the issue, and I don't just bow down and accept whatever they tell me at all. I don't think that's who we are, we are free human beings, and we have a right to do our own research without harassment, intimidation or being treated like we are crazy for being interested in the subject.

I think that the UFO sightings are real, but the aliens don"t want to talk to us cause, they are afraid that we will kill them cause we are always at war with each other. What do you guys/ladies think?
