    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
    - Data published on Euroufo show a pattern of UFO activity that
    seemingly predicts the pandemic in the same list of countries
    several years later.
    - The pattern shows a gradually strengthening association between UFO
    sightings and covid cases (& deaths) 2013-2017.
    - This pattern is virtually identical to the one between US
    state-by-state sighting activity and state-by-state covid
    statistics.
    - We recall data posted previously that show day-by-day UFO sightings
    data in 2020 is eerily similar to day by day covid case data. The
    max R2 (in a TS model that otherwise is stat sig in 2 tests) is
    found with a lag around 6 days -- approx the incubation period.


    As you do was scanning various UFO sites for mo data and came across
    this lil titbit:
    <http://www.euroufo.net/tag/2017/>

    Note the 2 images that summarize sightings data upto 2017: <http://www.euroufo.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2017EuropeUfoReports-Totals.jpg>
    <http://www.euroufo.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/2017EuropeUfoReports-Variation.jpg>

    Immediately some s/w sucked in the numbers and compared them with all
    the other data series in the database.

    A whole heap of interesting parallels came up -- seemingly
    parallelling the list of country attributes we've seen before when
    looking at UFO activity linked with major earthquakes. We recall when
    some countries experience a major earthquake UFO sightings go up
    apparently in response; in other countries a major quake causes UFO
    sightings to go down in response. (By "UFO sightings" I mean a
    convenient proxy to global UFO activity -- I normally use NUFORC
    because it has a neat policy of scientific openness and information
    sharing &ct).

    When you make a list of "how much' UFO activity is apparently affected
    by major quakes nearby you get a pattern. When you look up what other
    country attributes seem to parallel that "earthquake response"
    pattern you get a list that looks like a green socialist handbook --
    low population growth, zero net exports, high GDP, high literacy.

    So when I put those JPEGS from Euroufo the same list showed up. Those countries seeing an increase in UFO activity tended to have more of
    these same properties. Of course the list of countries is European --
    they're all socialist by US standards. But some are more. :)

    So it was inevitable one of the country properties in the database
    associated with European countries was covid statistics.

    And there was a match.

    We've seen that before, too.

    But this time the AI was saying the match was better than seen
    before. Because *this* time the "UFO sighting data" was not absolute
    numbers by a "percentage change" from the avg sighting levels. If it
    turns out those kind of data predict e.g. covid cases per mn capita in
    each of the countries listed it is pretty much a clincher there is
    some kind of causal link. How can the percentage change of UFO
    sightings in 2013-2017 "predict" the covid cases per mn cap in the
    same countries in 2021? There should be no relationship, a priori.

    But here is the list of statistics for each year in the JPG 2013-2017:

    Year Resp Var Filter Trans R2 \beta
    2016 deathspc 1 - 0.74144359 3.2968
    2016 casespc 1 - 0.73832100 3.32385
    2016 deathspcy 1 log 0.65830491 0.0195431
    2016 casespcy 1 log 0.64946882 0.0195371
    2015 deathspcy 1 log 0.62354988 0.0215645
    2015 casespcy 1 log 0.59296184 0.0210108
    2015 deathspc 1 - 0.50452033 2.46385
    2017 casespc 1 - 0.41281487 4.77227
    2017 deathspc 1 - 0.34442810 4.27761
    2015 casespc 1 - 0.32953825 1.9842
    (The cases and deaths are per mn cap for the last 7d from JHU data.
    All models above are significant at 90% conf. The models for other
    years were not stat sig).

    The stats suggests UFO sightings across Europe 2013-2017 are somehow
    associated with covid cases in 2020. E.g. for each 1% pt of increase
    in UFO activity seen in one of the countries in 2016 there was a
    corresponding 3.3 more deaths per mn cap covid cases in 2020 and the
    same number of deaths (consistency between models, at least).

    The log models are useful for estimating percentage differences
    because exp(x) ~= 1+x for small x. So for the log model for 2016
    deaths per mn cap we see each +1% of UFO activity is associated with
    exp(0.02) i.e. 1.02 i.e. "2% more" covid deaths in 2020.

    We note the association seems to change over time. In 2017 the \betas
    are around 4.5; in 2016 around 3.3; in 2015 around 2; in years before
    that non association.

    This data is independent of the NUFORC data I've posted previously
    about the patterns of covid across US states that show an almost
    identical pattern. Low association in earlier years and higher
    association in later years.

    To summarize the US/NUFORC data from before:

    Comparing percentage difference of UFO sightings in US states from
    10-y average 2000-2019:

    Year Resp var \beta
    2013 casespc -268.018
    2016 casespc 289.515
    2017 casespc 378.798
    2018 casespc 217.786
    2019 casespc 385.104

    Apart from the \beta's for the US being 100x those for Europe mostly
    because the case rates in the US are still near the worst in the
    world, the pattern is very similar.

    Early years show mostly "no association" although 2013 shows a NEGATIVE association. UFO activity in 2013 relative to normal predicted the
    "opposite" of cases rates in the last week in 2021. But then, roughly,
    the association increases with 1% more UFO sightings in 2016 being
    associated with 289 new cases per mn cap in 2021 growing to 1% more
    UFO sightings in 2019 in a state being associated with 385 more cases
    in 2021.

    When you take into account another post showing that cases in 2020
    were similar to the UFO sightings data SHIFTED BY 6 DAYS there is good
    evidence of a connection over the US and at least in Europe. And
    probably world-wide.

    There is some good news as I indicated before. When the data is
    broken down by UFO type only *some* types seem to explain the +ve
    correlation between activity and covid cases. Other types have no
    association or a negative association.

    It may be some UFO's are "creating trouble" either inadvertently or
    on purpose (you gotta suspect if any of those folk stories about anal
    probes are correct, "someone" was maybe looking for bacteria or
    viruses that might cause problems -- the "crude medical experiments"
    otherwise would seem to serve no "advanced" purpose), while others may
    be trying to avert the pandemic and/or reverse the activities of the
    other guys.

    Of course I might wake up and find this was all an old movie I was
    watching before drifting off to sleep in front of the tivvy.
