The AI s/w has been crunching the numbers and has found there are 2   
   significant cycles in UFO sightings data (I use mostly the NUFORC)   
   that hint at the origin of the people operating the aircraft. While   
   not totally nailed down the numbers suggest at least "a lot" of them   
   are human rather than ET's.   
      
   It's long been appreciated there are cycles hidden in UFO sightings   
   data. In the NUFORC numbers we see an interesting pattern the   
   stats suggests to be a feature of the observers (mostly in N Am and   
   after that mostly Europeans) -- most sightings happen on Sats with   
   a steady ramp-up from Mons, the lowest activity day, in data since   
   the start of modern sightings after WWII.   
      
   The counts upto early 2021 was:   
      
   Weekday   #Sightings since 1900         Scaled 0-1   
       1     13498                          0.3401  	Sun   
       2     11518                          0.0000  	Mon   
       3     11902                          0.0660         Tue   
       4     12579                          0.1822         Wed   
       5     12755                          0.2125         Thu   
       6     13649                          0.3660         Fri   
       7     17340                          1.0000  	Sat   
      
   (The DOW numbers are the MYSQL codes).   
      
   We might initially believe this pattern could not be due to UFO   
   activity itself because "they" can't possibly operate on "our" 7 day week.   
   It must be due to the people making the sightings.   
      
   N Americans have a normal 7d work week and very likely the increase   
   Mon-Sat is related to people driving to work being bummed out on   
   Mons and not looking at the sky, but -- apparently -- becoming more   
   and more interested in objects flying overhead as the week drags by and   
   on Sat are at their most alert as they sit on their back porches   
   watching TV and drinking most of the day before churching up on Sun. But I   
   maybe project.   
      
   But are there *other* interesting cycles in the numbers that might be   
   related to the operators of the UFOs themselves?   
      
   As it turns out -- yes. And surprising ones.   
      
   Detecting cycles in time series is notoriously tricky.  Fourier   
   transforms (that assign an amplitude to different cycles) don't work   
   well with noisy data and latch onto bogus frequencies that aren't   
   "really" there. But several techniques are available to remove known   
   cycles (like the 7d one we see above) and out of all possible cycles   
   zero in on a "most likely" set that are statistically robust and   
   explain as much as possible of the ups and downs seen in the time series.   
      
   I have 5 programs to do this. And, conveniently, in their 10 most   
   likely cycles that all find the same key numbers. The s/w that is   
   supposed to be the most accurate finds the top 10 cycle lengths as:   
      
   Length	Figure of merit   
   (d)	(smaller == more likely)   
   360 	13.1096   
   6 	13.1571   
   384 	13.2582   
   13 	13.6365   
   12 	13.9663   
   390 	14.1439   
   378 	14.1449   
   15 	14.4333   
   9 	14.4385   
   4 	14.4801   
      
   Whaaaa?!   
      
   Hidden inside the UFO data are 2 very classical cycles -- a 360 day   
   cycle and a 6 day cycle. And they are the 2 most likely to be really present.   
      
   The 360-day calendar is an ancient calendar used by people like the   
   Egyptians and Hebrews and possibly dates back 4000-5000 years.  And   
   many ancient civilizations had a smaller unit we'd understand to be a   
   "week" that varied from civilization to civilization from about 5 to   
   about 15. E.g. the Romans had an 8 day week.  The Egyptians a 7 day   
   week. And certain people in Africa had a 6 day week which they later   
   ran in parallel with a 7 day week to give 42-day months. The early   
   20th cent Soviet calendar also featured a 6-day week. But I'll presume   
   it isn't them.   
      
   So it seems some part of the UFO people are scheduling their   
   appearances based on the old 360-day Bible calender and possibly have   
   some links to the matriarchal Akan people originally from Ghana/Ivory   
   Coast/W Africa (and, of course, like many other locations in the   
   world, "there is growing evidence that W Africa was the real location   
   of Atlantis") but later reaching S America, the Caribbean and N Am.   
      
   No wonder some of the reports of Men In Black have an "olive complexion".
