Subject: ufos and earthquakes

The AI s/w is hip deep into data mining earthquake data and trying to
match it up with UFO sighting data.

The whole point of using "AI" is to examine every hypothesis that
links all the available data up and estimate a probability each is correct.

This approach is just made for fringe areas of science where traditional
thinking tends to reject new ideas until they have accumulated a
sufficient amount of supporting evidence. There are good but mostly
outdated reasons why this is the way things are. This methodology
tends to inhibit new science and also infuriates those researchers working
"outside the system".

The s/w is still tracing down lots of alleyways but the preview is
tending to support the idea that earthquakes affect UFO sightings and
(we assume) the underlying phenomenon itself.

Some areas see a striking +ve corr between more earthquake activity
and more UFO sightings; some see a striking -ve corr.  The AI is
mostly working on the assumption that +ve corr means the objects in
question had a base of operation in the region and tend to start
buzzing around whenever a lot of big jolts hit the area.  In other
places more quakes per month tend to diminish sightings and it's
assumed those regions are "work locations" rather than "home locations".

The main job of the s/w now is trying to come up with a simple and
understandable-to-humans hypothesis linking why some regions are
"home" locations and others "work" locations. Among many possible
ideas it's trying to evaluate is there are UFO bases in the Arctic,
possibly in the deep ocean, but they travel seasonally to the
sub-tropical S Indian Ocean and S Pac "for some reason".

But the fine details in the various data are slightly inconsistent and
the s/w is having trouble finding a clear winner to all its hypothesising.

While it continues to experiment and burn electricity I've put some plots
linking earthquakes from various regions with UFO sightings data to show how
striking the relationships can be after some gentle smoothing operations.

The following page shows a number of regions with major earthquakes
per month along the X axis and number of UFO sightings in the USA per
month along the Y axis.

Some regions obviously have a graph sloping up. These are the posited
"home regions" for (some types of) UFO activity.  The other regions
show a line sloping down. These are the presumed "work locations"
where UFO's fly to, at least seasonally, for some reason.

You can see the N Atl, the N Atl Ridge and Iceland are suspected
"home" regions.  But so (surprisingly) are Uganda, Guatemala, Mongolia
and Pakistan.

The s/w is also showing that by some chains of reasoning Afghanistan and the
nearby N Indian Ocean is "the" home region and has run off into one of its
side chains and dredged up monthly troop numbers battling the Taliban over
2001-2020.  Guess what -- a significant +ve corr against month by month UFO
sightings in the USA. A shooting war is as good at stirring up UFO activity
as earthquakes.
