   While I'm fired up I'll comment on this, too. :)   
      
   Watched the ~2nd ep of the Craig Charles et al show "UFO Conspiracy".   
   I wasnt expecting much, given the title of the show, but it does have   
   some new information I havent read about in the funny papers -- and   
   I read the funny papers a lot.   
      
   My ears pricked up when they talked to what I presume was an   
   MIT radio astronomer that had done an analysis of UFO sightings.   
   He mentioned something about there being (the inevitable! :) problems   
   with the data but the patterns and cycles that he found   
   suggested some component of sightings suggested a surveillance   
   operation of Planet Dirt. But there were no details.   
      
   Some time back I posted something on the time-of-day patterns in the NUFORC   
   sightings. Given all times in their database seem to be local time,   
   and given sightings are sometimes reported YEARS after they were actually   
   made and therefore the time-of-day may not be exactly as you remembered   
   from 20y back (or whatever), and the vaguaries of daylight saving,   
   let alone exactly what timezone each sighting was made in anyway,   
   the patterns I found suggested some component of sightings related to   
   a bunch of UFO's that seemed to be counter-rotating.   
   I.e. they "daily" arrived on the US E coast, screamed across the country   
   at 1000s of mph, and disappeared off the US W coast.   
   Another interesting chunk seemed to represent a bump of sightings that   
   seems to occur across the country at the same time GMT and (at the time)   
   was even represented here in SE Australia.   
      
   I wonder if there were the patterns "the astronomer" was talking about.   
      
   I did a quick bing & google search to see if there was an obvious   
   publication covering the research but found nothing but articles about   
   groups of *us* setting up to observe *them*.

   Mysterious lights spotted `all over San Diego' as dozens of residents   
   speculate UFOs are hovering over the Pacific Ocean

   DRAMATIC footage shows a series of bright lights hovering over San Diego.   
   The bizarre video shared online on Monday fuelled ...   
   [Maybe not just SD. We've been seeing nightly displays of big yellow   
   lights appearing overhead, hovering, moving around, and disappearing   
   around 6pm-8pm for past few weeks.  Quite a few times I've turned   
   around and seen 2 yellow "stars" at a place only 1 should be only to   
   realize one of them was drifting along v slowly. One time I turned back   
   and the 2nd one started moving as well. Normally would not be too   
   interesting. But someone has worked up some kind of patrol with   
   several light aircraft and a couple of jets that regularly patrol   
   around the region, apparently trying to scare the "drones"   
   off. Earlier this evening saw a dim light over in the E moving N to S.   
   Might have been a polar sat but for 2nd time in the evening a light   
   aircraft came screaming in from N aimed directly under where the "sat"   
   was. I thought the plane might slow down and do something, but it   
   acted like it wasn't interested and just kept going. The dim little   
   light didn't seem to react, either.  Just back from outside ~midnight   
   and "CAP" was over to the east apparently flashing lights up into the   
   sky for some reason].
