EVIDENTLY NO LULL
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Based on one indicator, Indiana sightings (Indiana being on the `Top Ten'),
|
||
|
|
during the last eight months reported events a little over 60% of last years
|
||
|
|
total. Based on this more immediate information, and the fact that we are 60%
|
||
|
|
through 1990, we are pretty close to the same numbers for this time of year.
|
||
|
|
Also, input from other sources has resumed and the data appears to be pretty
|
||
|
|
consistent with that projection. As you may be aware, other input for June,
|
||
|
|
July & August is not yet showing up, but will within 30-60 days.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I would not be surpised NOT to see a dramatic increase in significant
|
||
|
|
sightings for August-on, especially in the area of the Middle East, in light
|
||
|
|
of information that we have on file. However, this too, wouldn't show up until
|
||
|
|
October or November, except for some types of media coverage. Why an increase?
|
||
|
|
In the fall of 1973 we experienced a major world-wide UFO wave, the largets
|
||
|
|
concentration of sightings since 1952. It is quite interesting when you look
|
||
|
|
at the graphs which help illustrate the beginning, intensity, and end of the
|
||
|
|
wave. At that time we were not collecting information on the total U.S. but
|
||
|
|
merely our region. According to research done by Richard Hall (`Uninvited
|
||
|
|
Guests'), in 1973 we had the OPEC oil embargo, a petroleum crisis and
|
||
|
|
political turmoil in the U.S., the Agnew resignation, and the last but
|
||
|
|
probably the important timely item, the Israeli-Arab war (Oct. 6-21).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Our six state regional data showed a concentration of sightings which
|
||
|
|
started on October 5th & began to taper off on the 23rd. According to other
|
||
|
|
sources this pattern actually extended all over the country. The correlation
|
||
|
|
appears very suspicious at first glance. It seems to be meaningful when you
|
||
|
|
consider that four of our six states should be `rainguages' or `activity
|
||
|
|
indicators' since they are all on the top in the nation. Ohio ranks in 2nd
|
||
|
|
place in UFO activity, being 6th in population. Illinois ranks 6th, being 5th
|
||
|
|
in population. Indiana ranks, 8th, being in 11th palce in population. And
|
||
|
|
Missouri ranks 9th, although 13th in population.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then according to Hall's research, in 1978 we had the continuing Middle
|
||
|
|
East Crisis, a petroleum shortage and an OPEC price increase. 1978 was another
|
||
|
|
peak year for UFO sightings, although not publicized. The wave occured between
|
||
|
|
October and December and was most intense in the Middle East, itself, and in
|
||
|
|
AUSTRALASIA! This includes Arab nations and an oil field landing at Kuwait.
|
||
|
|
When the regional graphs were checked to see if there was an increase in our
|
||
|
|
area, we were astonished to see that 1978 was another peak year. This time,
|
||
|
|
however, the sightings were spread out over the whole period. But it does
|
||
|
|
appear that multiple nation-threatening turmoil is the concern of ETI,
|
||
|
|
especially when it involves the Middle East. Their interest in our dependence
|
||
|
|
on fossil fuel is evidenced in the data.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the next few months it will be interesting to see if there are any cor-
|
||
|
|
relations with the current crisis, and especially if there is any UFO activity
|
||
|
|
reported in the Saudi Arabia/Iraq area. The big difference between older
|
||
|
|
events and the present situation, however, is that at press time we are not at
|
||
|
|
war, nor is anyone in that area.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I just received the July/August 1990 issue of IUR by CUFOS and there was
|
||
|
|
yet another mention of interest. I.Scott, in his article `UFO Studies In The
|
||
|
|
Scientific Literature', mentioned: `I found significant relationships between
|
||
|
|
UFO activity and (a) sunspot activity, (b) power failures, (c) Israel military
|
||
|
|
activity. Nonsignificant relationships included war nerves, studied as years
|
||
|
|
of American wars and as years of American nuclear bomb testing...' I thought
|
||
|
|
this was an interesting independent comment and, also, an interesting
|
||
|
|
observation, since I had been thinking about the `war nerves' thing myself, in
|
||
|
|
the last few weeks in regard to other active periods.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
END.
