   Another variable that *may* be related to simple visual confusion on   
   the part of witnesses is the SOT -- the elongation. This is the angle   
   between the planet and the sun. If some planet has a small elongation   
   then it is effectively invisible -- it is too close to the sun during   
   the day to even be visible on earth. Most astronomers say 20 deg or   
   less makes any planet invisible to the unaided eye.  And we see the   
   Beta for the 3 SOT links are all +ve. I.e. the UFO sightings increase   
   with higher elongation. They decline when the objects are close to the   
   sun. It must be a case of confusion, again.  But that can't be so in   
   all cases. Neptune, e.g., was never seen by Greek or Roman scholars --   
   it is too dim. And Oumuamua is definitely not visible to the naked eye   
   and was only visible to powerful telescopes for a few years of the 21st   
   cent.  So there has to be -- at least in some cases -- an alternative   
   explanation.  And the simple version is -- if a UFO originates some   
   other place and travels to earth in a straight line WATCH OUT FOR THE   
   SUN GETTING IN THE WAY. I.e. if your spacecraft cant stand a close   
   encounter with the sun and you absolutely have to be on earth at a   
   certain time then plan your straight-line journey for a time when the   
   elongation is bigger than a few degrees.   
      
   A similar argument applies to the various PAB (incl the one "phi")   
   links. This is a direction from the planet going between the earth and   
   the sun. We can imagine it could have "something" to do with plotting   
   a course from some planet to earth. Depending on where this direction   
   points the amount of energy you need can be greater or less. Even a   
   super spaceship probably has running costs and it's possible alien   
   jellyfish pilots have to watch their pennies just like earthlings. So   
   a trip to earth is "best" undertaken when the relative positions of   
   the sun and the earth are jusssst right.   
      
   The "deldot" links are more interesting. This is the speed of the   
   planet relative to the earth in km per sec. Of the value is +ve then   
   the planet is moving away from the earth; -ve means toward the earth.   
   2 of the links in the table are +ve and 1 -ve. For Saturn and Uranus   
   UFO sightings tend to increase when the planet is moving away from the   
   earth. This sounds strange. If a planet is going away then surely it   
   can't mean anything is coming from there *to* earth? But, no, it's not   
   that simple. Depending on exactly how a trip happens, starting out on   
   the journey may well be more efficient (pennies!) at a time when the   
   planet is moving away from the earth to ensure the earth is at the   
   point your trip is moving toward when you get there.  The sample kind   
   of thing also applies to the -ve case. Just because UFO sightings   
   increase 28 days after Uranus starts to move toward earth doesn't   
   necessarily mean Uranus is the origin of (any) UFOs.  But just the   
   fact there are these links hints at the possibility.  Especially in   
   light of the other links.   
      
   Finally, the delta link. Delta is the distance between earth and the   
   planet on a given day in AU. There is only the one found by the   
   program.  Alarm bells should be sounding about now. :) It seems there   
   is only one planet that, when it is closer to Earth there is an   
   increase in UFO sightings and when it is further away there are   
   fewer. Only 1. If you were a betting jellyfish I think I know where   
   you would lay your shells down on there being some kind of UFO truck   
   stop somewhere there-abouts. The distance between Earth and Neptune is   
   re-enforce by it also having an APmag link. Magnitudes increase when   
   things are DIM.  Adding +1 to a magnitude means the star or planet is   
   1/2 as bright.  And SHOCK Neptune has a -ve Beta related to its   
   APmag. When it gets brighter the APmag is less and the -ve Beta means   
   there are more UFO sightings.  This is just what you might expect if   
   the distance between Earth and Neptune matters. We have it two ways now.   
      
   So we have some evidence that some UFO sightings are "mistakes".  We   
   have some evidence that maybe the position of some planets makes some   
   difference to how "they" arrive on Earth from (somewhere).  And we   
   have some hint that a certain someplace is the somewhere.  (And we   
   have prev seen some data that shows as the Voyager probe approached   
   some somewhere in summer 1989 there was a "reaction" in the sightings   
   data before and after approx that time).   
      
   But what is this with Oumuamua? Admittedly I just added that in to see   
   "what if". We see similar patterns with the other 1000s of asteroids I   
   have actually tried. Many are similar to the pattern for Oumuamua.   
   Some are much different. Some show nothing significant at all.   
      
   It seems distance between Oumuamua and Earth did not affect UFO reports   
   to any significant extent. But for some reason the angle between   
   Oumuamua and the sun as seen from the Earth, and the angle between   
   Earth and the sun as seen from Oumuamua -- these things seemed to make   
   a difference to UFO sightings. About 5% of sightings seem to have been   
   affected by contemporary chances in these angles.  It seems Our Pals   
   may have buzzed over to Oumuamua to check it out.  If something   
   landed in my back yard I would probably go over to look at   
   it. (Depends on how big, many tentacles and whether it has lots of   
   moving spider mouth parts).   
      
   But -- as I mentioned -- lots of asteroids seem to have similar   
   patterns that link significantly to UFO reports. The pattern may   
   relate to how certain journeys happen or how certain spaceship drives   
   work.  It may be that asteroids or any appropriate object along the   
   way are a kind of fuel for "them". Perhaps as well as pushing against   
   the solar wind with magnetic fields (a possible propulsion -- known as   
   "plasma sail" -- that roughly matches what the bulk of the data to   
   date is showing) perhaps they can use their magnetic fields or tractor   
   beams to push against asteroids and get a boost that way.  As other   
   data we've seen indicates, a chunk of UFO sightings on earth seem to   
   match quite well against the assumption that trips from certain   
   planets are straight lines between there and Earth and that the avg   
   speed of those trips is a respectable but not FTL ~1 AU per day.   
      
   Happy Hearings Day. (And Please Don't Expect Anything).
