Zoom in on Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

Here we zoom in on the R2 correlation maps of the sky near the 2010-2020 positions of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It seems each of these regions has "hot spots" that show the brightness of stars (because the WISE database carefully removes the IR light curve for anything that may be actually a planet or asteroid) in the region seem to vary significantly like the day-to-day variations in UFO sightings across N America.

How can this be? A simple mental model is -- many objects coming from the direction of these outer planets seem to cross in front of stars in the regions before making an appearance in the skies over N America.

Correlation maps showing R2 of IR light from each 1x1deg section of the sky in the 2010-2020 location of Uranus. The correlation is between light in the square with daily UFO sightings reported in the NUFORC database.

This first map shows correlations across the 2 days after the IR light varies.

This map shows correlations with sightings (only) 2 days after the light changes. Mental model: "2 days out".

"One day out".

"Today".
