Ever wondered just how many reports there are of UFOs? UFO Maps uses a Google Maps mashup to show the history of UFO sightings in the US back to the late 1800s. The website also has a KML file which lets you view their data in Google Earth with each year’s data in separate folders. Recently, Frank Taylor of Google Earth Blog posted a modified version of the UFO map adding time animation (2 Mbs). Select the play button to the right of the time slider to start the animation. The first widely publicized UFO sighting was by a pilot named Kenneth Arnold in 1947. But, you’ll be amazed how many reports have been made in the last twenty years.

During the evening of October 21, 1978, twenty year old Australian Pilot Frederick Valentich disappeared over Bass Strait, while flying from Melbourne’s Moorabbin Airport to King Island, off the coast of Victoria. His last communication occurred at 7:12 p.m., during the largest UFO flap in Australian history. Nearly fourteen years after that fatal Saturday evening, no trace has ever been found of either the pilot or his blue and white Cessna model 182 aircraft.

We report here on a study of the hypothesis that UFO events are correlated with local sidereal time, an observation advanced by Dr. Claude Poher, Dr. Donald Johnson and more recently by Dr. Peter Sturrock. Local sidereal time is used by astronomers to keep track of the stars that pass the observer’s meridian at a particular instant. A subset of a large catalog for which geographical and temporal data are available was taken as a basis for the study, involving 11,991 events. Local sidereal time was computed for these events. While a frequency distribution indicative of a correlation with star positions was indeed detected, control with a separate catalogue compiled in France discloses an important artefact: multiple entries for a single, particularly remarkable UFO event have resulted in massively duplicated records. This calls into question the significance of the claimed pattern.

This article originally was drafted as a sample chapter for a proposed book on the 1978 McGuire AFB case. It was hoped that a publishing contract with an advance on royalties would enable me to tie up some important loose ends in my investigation. These included a planned face-to-face meeting with another primary witness living in a distant state and acquiring additional documentation. Despite two promising prospects, no contract was ever obtained.

[(*)2005 Introduction: National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. On November 28, 1966, Donald E. Keyhoe (Maj., USMC Ret.), Director of NICAP, and I as Assistant Director addressed the Colorado UFO Project scientists and staff in Boulder, Colorado, by invitation. They were just beginning a 2-year study of UFOs under a grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and knew very little about the subject. .My paper presented that day long ago illustrates how little has changed in the intervening years. The paper, unfortunately, proved to be prophetic. - Richard H. Hall, January2005.]

Analyzing UFO data and reasoning about it has been extremely controversial due to a number of factors, primarily disagreement about which data are mutually agreed upon as requiring explanation. In this article I attempt to provide a conceptual framework and guide for thinking about and theorizing about UFOs.
