An indirect observation is a research technique making use of pre-recorded behaviors. This involves things like statistics tables of reactions of materials, or other such records.

Direct observation means looking at it with your own two eyes, feeling it with your fingers (or other body parts), directly hearing it with your ears or directly tasting it with your tongue. Indirect observation means not sensing the object of observation directly but by observing the effects it has on its surroundings. An example of indirect observation might be seeing footprints in the snow and using this as evidence that snow leopards are in the area. Direct observation would be seeing the leopard itself.
