      "question": "Can weak or rejected radio detections across long time baselines be associated by physically consistent motion, recurrence, Doppler behavior, observation geometry, and retrospective predicted-track searches rather than frequency identity alone?",
      "hypotheses": [
        "Some apparently unrelated detections are repeated observations of known human transmitters or satellites and can be recovered by historical orbital correlation.",
        "Kinematic fingerprints may associate detections that frequency-only matching separates.",
        "A fitted recurrence/ephemeris hypothesis can recover sub-threshold or previously rejected detections in older observations.",
        "Known satellites and spacecraft can provide calibration/ground-truth cases before unknown-source claims are considered."

      "methods": [
        "Normalize detections across observatories, epochs, frequencies, drift rates, sky positions, beam geometry, and instrument state.",
        "Aggregate historical satellite/spacecraft ephemerides and orbital-element epochs rather than propagating present-day orbits blindly backward.",
        "Fit recurrence, radial-acceleration, and orbital-family hypotheses.",
        "Predict historical time/frequency/geometry windows and back-search archived observations.",
        "Use known spacecraft as blinded calibration targets where feasible.",
