   EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:   
   - We've seen planetary parameters like geocentric distance and   
     "elongation" (visual angle between a planet and the sun) correlate   
     strongly with UFO sighting data. Normally the strongest   
     correlations show up when the planetary data is time shifted 10s of days.   
   - It turns out parts of each year show a -ve correlation between   
     geocentric distance and UFO sightings -- i.e. the closer the planet   
     is the more UFO sightings there are in following days.  We might   
     interpret that as UFO's arriving after a trip of several days from   
     that planet result in more sightings that usual.   
   - But at other times of the year there is a +ve corr between the   
     geocentric distance and sightings. I.e. the further the planet gets   
     from the earth the larger the number of sightings.  We might   
     interpret that as UFO's buzzing around, waiting to make the trip to   
     the relevant planet(s).   
   - Over a long enough range of time lags we can see the cycle of +ve corr,   
     0 corr, -ve corr, and 0 corr seems to repeat, possibly with stronger   
     correlations at the peaks as years go by.   
      
      
   I read somewhere a comment from a couple of the guys that were at the   
   2004 Nimitz/Tictac incident.   
      
   Over a period of several days a group of UFO's that were difficult to   
   see on fleet radars suddenly appeared off Catalina Island and   
   proceeded at "a leisurely pace" and relatively low altitude due S where   
   they would eventually disappear.   
      
   The radar guys didn't know what to make of it.  They checked their   
   equipment but it seemed OK.  The various bigwigs in the fleet exercise   
   ignored the reports. At first.   
      
   On the 4th or 5th day there were a couple of spare planes hanging   
   around and they were ordered to go an check out what the hell those   
   things were.   
      
   Big surprise when they got to the area. Reports are a bit confused but   
   at least one unusual object was seen that avoided interception with   
   40g turns and super-cruising at low altitude over the ocean.  Reports   
   are again confused but it seems the object or objects in question not   
   only were invisible to aircraft radar but had the ability to become   
   invisible to sight as well.   
      
   Reports are again confused but there may also have been a large   
   underwater object moving around in the area at the same time. If so it   
   was invisible and inaudible to a sub that was also in the fleet   
   exercise going on at the time.   
      
   The comment from "the guys" was the objects seemed to behave like they   
   were on some kind of annual migration -- like whales.   
      
   I've been looking at how various planetary data correlate with UFO   
   sightings. Previously I posted some data showing there were large   
   correlations between the geocentric distance of various planets and   
   e.g. the NUFORC day-to-day sighting numbers.  By "time shifting" the   
   planetary data we tried to maximize the similarity of various curves   
   and found what seemed to correspond transit times from various planets   
   showed up.   
      
   ~ ~ ~   
      
   Using the estimated lags and the known planetary distances a rough   
   estimate of transit times showed up that seemed to be roughly   
   consistent from planet to planet -- i.e. planets further out in the   
   solar system showed longer transit times.   
      
   The AI s/w I'm using has been continuously chugging away doing its   
   "correlate everything with everything else" and has now come up with a   
   few more interesting observations.   
      
   Using detailed tabulations of different lags for each planet and UFO   
   type it now suggests there is not only some traveling from other solar   
   planets to earth but also vice versa. On what seems to be an "annual   
   migration".   
      
   At some times of the year there is a significant negative correlation   
   between geocentric distances and UFO sightings. I.e. the closer   
   various planets get to the earth the number of UFO sightings goes up   
   in a parallel too close to be just luck.   
      
   But the latest numbers show at OTHER times of the year there is a +ve   
   corr between geocentric planetary distances and UFO activity. I.e. the   
   further away a planet is getting the more UFO activity -- exactly the   
   revers of the other part of the year.   
      
   For the rest of the year there is essentially no corr between   
   planetary distance and UFO activity.   
      
   This same pattern is observed for each planet but the type of UFO   
   involved in the sighting has some effect.  It seams some UFO types   
   are associated with some planets, and other types are associated   
   with other planets.  I'll leave it to the interest reader to discover   
   whether any UFO type is not associated with any other planet. :)   
      
   The simple interpretation suggested is some UFO's are involved in some   
   kind of annual migration to and from various planets.   
      
   At some times of the year they are buzzing around on earth because   
   their destination planet is too far away or maybe is behind the sun   
   (requiring some tedious or maybe impossible-for-UFO-tech maneuvering   
   to get there).   
      
   Some of those UFO's apparently buzz off toward their remote   
   destination leaving number of sightings uncorrelated with planetary   
   distances for a couple months.  Then the migration is reversed and the   
   closer the various favoured planets get the higher UFO sightings move   
   in spooky parallel again.   
      
   I've generated a bunch of plots to show which planets are apparently   
   involved with which UFO types and "how long" the to and fro journeys   
   may be taking. In line with previous posts on this topic it seems "top   
   speed" for the various journeys is still in the 100-1000 km/sec range.   
      
   Interesting also is that some UFO types (e.g. "lights", "fireballs")   
   that may be associated more with meteors than unusual aerial objects   
   indicate a slower transit time of around 40 km/sec -- exactly in line   
   with asteroid belt speeds.  Those parts of the curves may more   
   correspond with rocks being kicked out of the asteroid belts by   
   Jupiter and Saturn. The curve shows the speed distribution of those   
   incoming rocks, itself an interesting byproduct of the processing.

   ABC News, 05 Feb 2021 10:06Z   
   Google launches a platform in Australia offering news it pays for after   
   striking its own content deals with publishers. It's part of a drive to show

   NASA Will Build Artemis Base on the Moon's South Pole   
   Location, Location, Location...   
   The Debrief, 5 Feb 2021   
   As NASA prepares to put American astronauts on the Moon in 2024, the   
   organization must decide where it will place the Artemis base camp that   
   will eventually house astronauts, rovers, scientific equipment and   
   serve as a permanent settlement for future lunar missions. Though   
   several locations are being considered, they are all near the lunar   
   south pole.
