   EXECUTIVE SUMMARY   
   - We follow up on patterns of activity seemingly predicted in advance   
     by certain web accesses. We are searching for techno-signatures in   
     cyberspace. And, apparently, finding them.   
   - We find most UFO activity is predicted at least moderately well by   
     models robustly trained on web access data. Some models seem very   
     accurate.  At least until (whoever) reads this. Maybe.   
   - Breaking down activity by type we seemingly get some vague picture   
     of what certain types of access predict next week. Perhaps topics of   
     interest to relevant parties. We speculate we maybe are intended to   
     discover this.   
   - We speculate that if some UFO activity is related machines   
     reverse-engineered by certain countries then we might be able to   
     (eventually) spot a specific "nationality" in such data. Of course,   
     if it is as widespread as some recent whistle-blowers claim, then   
     nothing specific might stand out.   
   - While we found in a prev post crop circles may convey information   
     about "where you can find us" (on Planet Dirt), or maybe "where the   
     best fishing is", the patterns we find here list certain topics as   
     important to (someone) for (some reason).  Are the relevant "topics"   
     something they are trying to tell us?  It's hard to imagine it's an   
     "accident" if (whoever) are as advanced as it otherwise seems.   
      
      
   Another day. More things rattling around that have to come out   
   on...  er... paper.   
      
   After looking at this stuff seriously for a couple years I think there   
   are some things that are tending to stand out.  While the available   
   data is noisy (kinda a tautology) there are some interesting   
   components in there. Some of these components suggest some very odd   
   connections for UFO activity as proxied by NUFORC reports with   
   patterns in other data. E.g. planetary movements and weather   
   conditions in several key regions seem to be historically associated   
   with odd goings-on and some other stuff.   
      
   Whatever has been going on didn't start in 2020 or whenever certain   
   studies or agencies seem to try to suggest "the activity" started up.   
   It's been around a while. Some patterns in old "mystery airship" data   
   seem to have many of the same patterns and affinities as modern UFO   
   reports. Which suggests underneath a layer of yellow journalism there   
   may be some similar activity, just expressed in journalese or common   
   parlance of the times.  And looking back over some of the science data   
   we are starting to collect we can start to see similar patterns   
   cropping up in numbers we can now follow back a million years or so.   
      
   So if, as I've speculated before, something interesting has been going   
   on in the background or under the noses of scientists and historians   
   "for some time" then it might stand to reason that "whatever" might be   
   somehow meddling in human affairs to some extent. This might be for a   
   variety of reasons ranging from pure scientific research to trying to   
   prevent humanity screwing up the local environment or exporting its --   
   let's face facts -- significant mental and emotional problems to the   
   rest of the solar system or further.   
      
   To that end, let us further speculate, it may be that "someone" is   
   twiddling with the Internet. Stands to reason if some nice corporate   
   entity puts a lot of what we are pleased to call "human knowledge" on   
   some medium and tries to keep it up to date then you might as well   
   look at it, right?  Just needs a couple wires plugged into the right   
   holes and -- voila -- your AI's can keep tabs on their AI's and   
   probably via simple modelling their military or militaries, or   
   anything else that might strike your fancy as "important", as well.   
      
   Nothing is secret if you are prepared to do the data analysis.  Every   
   bit of data eventually imprints itself on every other bit of data.   
   And the only way you can stop it is essentially cordon off something   
   from the rest of the universe. And if you do that even YOU can't get   
   access to it, so we presume no-one really does that even if it were   
   technically feasible.   
      
   So we might envision some box somewhere going out and and around on   
   daily patrol, sniffing for information. While some groups are looking   
   for "techno-signatures" in terms of physical objects -- boxes, waste   
   heat, exhaust gases or other stuff -- floating around the solar system   
   or in LEO, some *other* people might be able to spot something just   
   looking around the Internet. To see who is looking for what at times   
   that seem to correlate highly with other stuff. Stuff that indicates   
   they know something.   
      
   And as I indicated in a recent post, it seems certain accesses just to   
   my own web-site(s) (TLDR :) seems to indicate certain kinds of web   
   activity are highly predictive of some real-world events a few days   
   later.  How can this be? How can the number of searches for X (I take   
   those that impinge on my website as just a proxy for the "global   
   activity" of such web searches) at time T somehow reliably predict   
   certain activity T+7 days layer? How?   
      
   By "predict" I mean a reasonably robust form of predicting the future.   
   IOW some mathematical model is tuned up based on SOME of the available   
   data, then it is tested to see whether it works for other similar type   
   of data (e.g. later or earlier in time from the training data). If it   
   does then it is thought therefore to be "predictive". The math model   
   somehow captures something about the world and, in particular,   
   characterises or generalises to some extent some real-world phenomena.   
      
   So if this has been seen to be true, then why?   
      
   While there are no doubt an infinitude of complex theories that might   
   explain it. But at least a simple and obvious one is -- "they" are   
   listening and poking around for certain topics. Keeping abreast of   
   what is going on. Maybe it's all part of being a good wildlife park ranger. :)   
      
   So to push this barrow a bit further I've dug back into some recent   
   archives and got the programs to cook up some "robust predictive   
   models" that might give us a taste of who is interested in what. We   
   already suspect "the phenomenon" has a lot of moving parts; let's try   
   to characterise some of the possible groups and see what they are   
   keeping tabs on.  Maybe they are actually trying to send us a subtle   
   message.  If they are as clever at everything else as they are at   
   hiding out (which -- let us be clear -- is probably abundantly helped   
   by the previously-mentioned "mental problems") then surely what we see
