[uploaded 35 times; last 28/09/2024]

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- We look at the latest "heat maps" linking the activity of different
  types of UFOs with the world's oceans.
  See: <kym.massbus.org/UFO/MAPS>.
- The variation in UFO sightings seems to be greatly influenced by
  e.g. the sea surface temperature seen in "known" key regions of the
  world's oceans.
- Different types of UFO's as described by shape, color and certain
  keywords in sightings reports seem to be associated with slightly
  different areas of the world.
- The (sometimes literally :) "hot spot" areas read like a who's who
  of paranormal sites.  But there are a few items on the list we see
  here that are new to me and maybe to the UFO research community.
- The patterns seem to hang together with each other as well as a
  growing body of other data collected by various scientific bodies
  for totally different purposes.


The AI's continue to churn through the world's databases to try and
link UFO activity with various other kinds of data that have been more
accurately recorded over the past 50-100y.

In the past week they latched onto data I've been using for the past
few years to look at global weather trends. It's a gridded dataset
(IOW by latitude and longitude) of daily infra-red measurements over
the world's oceans. Scientists use this data to measure the average
temperature of the world's sea surface temperature by measuring IR
coming up from the oceans at night, when they are not so obscured by
clouds or reflected sunlight.

If UFO activity as observed e.g. over N America is influenced in any
way by weather in remote locations, then we should be able to compare
the rise and fall of daily UFO reports of various types against the
average sea surface temperature for each 1x1 deg area of the oceans.
According to simple math and basic forensic science ("if a suspect has
visited a location then they leave something at that location and the
location leaves something on them") if UFO's are more or less physical
objects that interact with their environment, then over the long term
we should see changes in SST "imprint" on UFO activity reports well
enough to get a statistical read on where they have been and maybe
where different types of UFO's "come from".

The latest results take NUFORC data for various types of UFO reports
-- I generally follow the NUFORC's idea of categorising reports by
"shape" (e.g. Triangle, Sphere, etc) as well as keywords I extract
from the comment field in the short form of the reports. (Dredging
through the total and sometimes very detailed report for each sighting
is going to have to wait until I have a lot of spare computer time on
my hands :).

The results today are remarkably similar to other surveys we've looked
at in the past. But this time we will look at different UFO types and
see whether they come from different areas of the world, and whether
there are different commonalities and patterns in their distribution.

The basic procedure goes through each 1x1 deg region of the world's
oceans day by day since 2015 upto the latest sat data (i.e. within the
last 24 hrs) and decides whether each type of UFO report varies in a
statistically identical way. As usual we use 2 different stats tests
to determine if the similarity is "beyond chance". My s/w generally
uses a T-test on a regression \beta at 90% conf (i.e. 1 chance in 10
any similarity could be just chance) and a rank test ("Spearman") on
the ordering of the "cause" and "effect" variables in the rest -- also
at 90% confidence.  The 2 tests are relatively independent and make
different assumptions about the data. Of the 2 the Spearman is the
most general and does not rely on certain properties of the data the
T-test assumes -- properties anyway that almost always apply. Together
they assure us any similarity is about 1% likely to just have
happened by luck.

And given we are performing the comparison over the whole ocean for
the last 8 years we can also just look at the graphical output to see
where they look like "noise" or there are patterns of where
locations that match UFO reports strongly and weakly are happening.

The strength of the match is given by the "R2" statistic. The
so-called "explanation power" of a statistical model shows what
fraction of the variation in the "effect" is predicted by the "cause".
In this case the fraction of the day-to-day change in UFO sightings
against the day-to-day change in sea surf temp for each 1x1 deg
square in the world's oceans.

The plots are at <kym.massbus.org/UFO/MAPS>. Different plots show the
"density" of R2 across the oceans for each of several UFO types.  The
color shows the value of the R2. Yellow indicates the strongest
match, fading off to black for "no match".

We see high degrees of matches for a slew of regions and locations we
probably all know from tales of the weird and wonderful.  They all
seem to be "top 10" paranormal locations known or suspected for
years.  Different UFO types seem to contain a lot of information about
sea surf temps in locations like the West Antarctic, Northern Siberia,
NE Greenland, the Bering Straight, Easter Island, Hawaii, Java, the
Sea of Japan, and various lakes around the world. It seems each UFO
type -- in general -- has its specialised locations but in toto there
are some common areas of contact as illustrated also in the "all UFO
reports" map.

As I said, there's nothing we haven't seen before in these kinds of
studies.  It seems almost all kinda of widely collected scientific
data from ocean temperatures, polar sea ice, earthquake activity, and
many other physical measurements all point to certain key areas as
"imprinting" of UFO report data. We are forced to conclude different
types of objects seem to have at least passed through certain regions
of the world on a regular basis for these patterns to hold up.

E.g. "all UFO sightings" seem to have hot spots located in: the West
Antarctic (i.e. west of the Antarctic Pen and well off the coast of S
America), Hawaii, Cuba (aka the Devils Triangle), west of Java, and
the middle of the Arabian Gulf. There are "warm spots" in the Bering
Sea, off the NW of Greenland, all along the north Russian coast, off
the E coast of S America, points along the Antarctic coast from W Ant
to E Ant, off the Australian Bight and the Tasman Sea.  There are also
some interesting hits I haven't seen before -- e.g.  central Africa
(seeming correspond with a region including Lake Chad where a
well-known cryptid is sometimes reported) and Pacific islands from
Palau to Easter Island.

Looking at specific types of UFO's we see the exercise brings up hot
spots like W Alaska, S Greenland, the Great Aus Bight, and areas off
Argentina, Japan and Antarctica.

"Light" type UFO's seem to have very many influences with hot spots
all over from the regions prev listed to "new" ones like a huge area
off Madagascar, central Africa, and NE Greenland/NE Canada.

UFO's with comments that contain words like "ocean", "lake", "water"
and similar have their own distinctive pattern that seems consistent
with the others. Their hot-spots are central America, E Africa, N
Russia, N Canada, N Greenland, and an area in E Polynesia
(~Mangareva).

UFO's described as "red" (usu light-type UFO's but also incl any that
have red lights on or about them) seem to have a strong imprint of SST
off the W of the Ant Pen as well as another region off to the E of the
Ant Pen. Another region is nr the middle of the Polynesian region and
yet another off the N coast of Alaska.

"Sphere" UFO's also have an extensive region of influence off the W of
the Ant Pen as well as a huge circular area in the middle of the S
Atl between S Am and Africa.  Another region appears in the equatorial
Atlantic and yet another in lakes in central Russia.  There is also a
small region off the N coast of far E Russia and some lakes in W
Canada/E Alaska.  Some bright spots also appear on the coast of
Antarctica.

"Triangle" UFO's seem to have only a very small region of influence --
mostly from the N Bering Sea to the NE of Alaska. There are several
other warm spots in areas prev listed incl off Cuba aka the Triangle.
Another interesting area is off W Java.

"Yellow" UFO's (incl lights described as yellow as well as any object
that has a yellow light on it) have a main area in central Russia with
smaller areas in the S USA, coastal Brazil, coastal S Africa, NE
Polynesia, and some lakes in far E Russia.

And, finally, "bright" objects -- one of my particular favorites
given the way the hair on the back of my neck and legs stands up when
they buzz around my part of the world, usu challenged by a retinue of
light aircraft trying to look inconspicuous -- seem to ping all prev
areas in a big way.  But the very big and hottest hot spot seems to be
Western Greenland.

In all of the above "hot spots" may or may not relate to what some
people argue are "UFO bases" under the world's oceans.  That could be
the case. But given a similar exercise seems to suggest UFO sightings
also contain information about the movement of the major planets esp
the outer gas giants, as well as almost every asteroid I have in my
database, it may well be these regions are more like "truck stops"
rather than "homelands".

But it is interesting to see at least among the several types we've
looked at here they seem to have specialised areas. One of the
possible activities of some (suspected) objects is farming the
Southern Ocean. Data we've seen elsewhere suggest certain types of
edible plankton that grow in seasonal cycles in the N and S hemisphere
also imprint of UFO activity.  (Interestingly, some inedible types and
also a major type responsible for a good chunk of the oxygen in the
atm do NOT imprint). We see a hint of that with "minor" hits for
different UFO types across the 40S band but we are yet to identify the
UFO type associated with "farm tractor".

--
The US government portrays itself as the world's preeminent
superpower, so to acknowledge that there are things in their
airspace, whatever they are, that are faster and more manoeuvrable
and run rings around fast jets doesn't play very well.
So there's the embarrassment factor, and maybe a little bit of
fear that either an adversary has made a quantum leap in
development, which has left the US in a poor second place, or, as
some believe, this really is extra terrestrial, in which case we're
not at the top of the food chain anymore.

Retired US Air Force Captain Reveals UFO Attacked A Nuclear Missile Base

[Apparently the "demonstration" happened more than once at different
bases.  Some people have interpreted it as "give up your nuclear
weapons; they are dangerous". But it might have also been "your best
weapon is useless against us; surrender!". The situation is probably
complicated because there's likely more than one "them". Of course it
might have just been swamp gas or Chinese balloons. In Australia they
call them Chinese satellites and apparently they've been chasing them
with small aircraft -- so as not to draw attention to what is going on
-- since the 1960s. Don't tell anyone I told you].

UAP: Knowns, Unknowns, and Uncertainties
Micah Hanks, 02 May 2023
On June 2, 1964, Charles Davis, a youth living near the town of Hobbs,
New Mexico, had been playing outside in full view of his grandmother
when a small, top-shaped black object swooped down from the sky and
hovered over him, dumping a shower of flames onto the frightened child.
Although he said he could feel no pain, Davis was left temporarily
disfigured after the incident and, to this day, prefers not to talk about
the possible existence of UFOs.
What were the objects that young Charles Davis, and many others have
had seemingly terrifying encounters with over the years? In this
installment of The Micah Hanks Program, we look at potentially harmful
cases involving UAP, and whether they should cause us to rethink many of
our presumptions about the nature and possible intention of the phenomenon.
