The AI s/w has been crunching the numbers and has found there are 2
significant cycles in UFO sightings data (I use mostly the NUFORC)
that hint at the origin of the people operating the aircraft. While
not totally nailed down the numbers suggest at least "a lot" of them
are human rather than ET's.

It's long been appreciated there are cycles hidden in UFO sightings
data. In the NUFORC numbers we see an interesting pattern the
stats suggests to be a feature of the observers (mostly in N Am and
after that mostly Europeans) -- most sightings happen on Sats with
a steady ramp-up from Mons, the lowest activity day, in data since
the start of modern sightings after WWII.

The counts upto early 2021 was:

Weekday #Sightings since 1900 Scaled 0-1
1 13498 0.3401 Sun
2 11518 0.0000 Mon
3 11902 0.0660 Tue
4 12579 0.1822 Wed
5 12755 0.2125 Thu
6 13649 0.3660 Fri
7 17340 1.0000 Sat

(The DOW numbers are the MYSQL codes).

We might initially believe this pattern could not be due to UFO
activity itself because "they" can't possibly operate on "our" 7 day week.
It must be due to the people making the sightings.

N Americans have a normal 7d work week and very likely the increase
Mon-Sat is related to people driving to work being bummed out on
Mons and not looking at the sky, but -- apparently -- becoming more
and more interested in objects flying overhead as the week drags by and
on Sat are at their most alert as they sit on their back porches
watching TV and drinking most of the day before churching up on Sun. But I maybe project.

But are there *other* interesting cycles in the numbers that might be
related to the operators of the UFOs themselves?

As it turns out -- yes. And surprising ones.

Detecting cycles in time series is notoriously tricky. Fourier
transforms (that assign an amplitude to different cycles) don't work
well with noisy data and latch onto bogus frequencies that aren't
"really" there. But several techniques are available to remove known
cycles (like the 7d one we see above) and out of all possible cycles
zero in on a "most likely" set that are statistically robust and
explain as much as possible of the ups and downs seen in the time series.

I have 5 programs to do this. And, conveniently, in their 10 most
likely cycles that all find the same key numbers. The s/w that is
supposed to be the most accurate finds the top 10 cycle lengths as:

Length Figure of merit
(d) (smaller == more likely)
360 13.1096
6 13.1571
384 13.2582
13 13.6365
12 13.9663
390 14.1439
378 14.1449
15 14.4333
9 14.4385
4 14.4801

Whaaaa?!

Hidden inside the UFO data are 2 very classical cycles -- a 360 day
cycle and a 6 day cycle. And they are the 2 most likely to be really present.

The 360-day calendar is an ancient calendar used by people like the
Egyptians and Hebrews and possibly dates back 4000-5000 years. And
many ancient civilizations had a smaller unit we'd understand to be a
"week" that varied from civilization to civilization from about 5 to
about 15. E.g. the Romans had an 8 day week. The Egyptians a 7 day
week. And certain people in Africa had a 6 day week which they later
ran in parallel with a 7 day week to give 42-day months. The early
20th cent Soviet calendar also featured a 6-day week. But I'll presume
it isn't them.

So it seems some part of the UFO people are scheduling their
appearances based on the old 360-day Bible calender and possibly have
some links to the matriarchal Akan people originally from Ghana/Ivory
Coast/W Africa (and, of course, like many other locations in the
world, "there is growing evidence that W Africa was the real location
of Atlantis") but later reaching S America, the Caribbean and N Am.

No wonder some of the reports of Men In Black have an "olive complexion".
