   MODEL:   
   Durbin-Watson d = 0.092854   
   d < dL (1.659956):  Positive auto-corr at 5%   
   (Serial corr detected; estimated rho = 0.928818)   
   y = -3.15025809e+02*log(x) + 3.47411018e+03   
   beta in -315.026 +- 93.2384  (90% CI)   
   alpha in 3474.11 +- 66.5076   
   T-test: P(beta<0) = 1.000000   
   Rank test: calculated Spearman corr = -0.380960

   r2 = 0.10225803   
      
   The flights seem to prevent around 10% of COVID deaths in some way.   
   The usual 2 stats tests show less than 10% likelihood it was a "just   
   coincidence".   
      
   The table shows "rate of flights" (a calculation that smooths the   
   number of flights per day over 3 days into an estimate of the number of   
   flights per year at that point) versus the "rate of deaths". I've   
   ordered the table to show there is a good relationship between flights   
   and deaths -- the higher the rate of flights the lower the rate of   
   deaths, irrespective of whether that was at the start of 2024 or   
   around now.   
      
   Because the model involves the log of the flight rate it works out   
   when the number of flights is doubled the rate of deaths goes down by   
   around 315*log(2) = 218.   
      
   The stars at the end of each line show how close the model estimate is   
   to the actual value we get from the announced data at the end of each   
   week. It isn't very close. Most lines in the table are "out" (1 star)   
   or "very out" (2 stars). The data is very very noisy.  Nevertheless,   
   the ordering of the flight column is robustly the opposite of the   
   order of the deaths column. And the model formula calculates the death   
   rate consistently better than a guess.   
      
   During the lock-down months of the pandemic the skies locally were   
   "alive" with odd lights at night and even odder things going across   
   the sky during the day. Think of any type of UFO type you've heard of.   
   We saw one. And some I couldn't find listed in at last the NUFORC   
   database for the past 70y. (A copper-colored dumbbell moving slowly   
   across the midday sky, seemingly symmetric teardrop shapes point to   
   point in a slow flat spin, the whole thing moving at a constant speed,   
   const elevation, in a straight line.  Rough calculations with angular   
   size and nearby fluffy clouds at el ~45 deg as a reference, suggest   
   the thing was 30m from one end to the other).   
      
   When the local airport re-opened and these odd aircraft flights   
   started up again, then "ramped up to 11" over the next 6-12m, the   
   strange daytime objects disappeared and the nighttime lights became   
   less and less and less obvious. Where we once saw dozens of lights at   
   night, sometimes chased by Chinook helicopters, we might now see only 1   
   or 2.   
      
   So it looks like the light aircraft have achieved their goals and one   
   of the outcomes is apparently a spooky-parallel reduction in COVID.

   Concerns Over Unauthorized UAS Incidents Prompt New International Defense   
   Collaboration   
   The Debrief/Micah Hanks, 23 Sept 2024   
   A new initiative seeks to mitigate concerns associated with   
   unauthorized incursions by unmanned aerial systems (UAS) by developing   
   innovative new counter-drone technologies.   
   The initiative, a collaboration between the Pentagon's Defense   
   Innovation Unit (DIU) and Singapore's Ministry of Defence, aims to   
   leverage technologies to enhance drone communications and offer novel   
   means of combatting unauthorized drone incursions through counter-UAS   
   capabilities.
