Cho Jinn Posted March 25 #28 Share Posted March 25 15 hours ago, Trelane said: No, not necessarily. However, it is curious how the stark uneven distribution lands almost exclusively in the US. We must just be that interesting to ETs! It looks uneven, surely, though (i) this is based on NUFORC data which will be U.S.-biased and (ii) does Shermer propose that "UFOs" are merely the domain of Americans, Brits, and urban South Africans, coastal Australians, some Japanese, and other disparate peoples? Controlling for generalized media blackout regions, deserts, jungle, or other less-inhabited areas, the UFO map compares rather well with population density. Shermer's attempted association between the phenomena and, apparently, Protestantism seems like a weak stretch to me; there are likely more interesting parallels. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRayden Posted March 25 #29 Share Posted March 25 Interesting, without knowing it, I would say this are also the spots where Nuclear reactors are and/or Nuclear weapon depots. As we all know (or the people that are following this for years), UFO sightings raised after we stared working with Nuclear power. AS the US is the country which invented the Nuclear Bomb, the only country that ever used it against people, the country with the most Nuclear reactors and weapons and the only country that was always at war since it was established (I think you had 11 years of peace in total) , it is not hard to find UFOs in America. And let's not forget that if Roswell is true, that you have killed Aline's. So if the UFOs are friendly, they have to watch you as you are not (your history shows it), if they are not friendly they again have to watch you as you could be the biggest threat. You don't need to be a scientist to make this map, just look at the past 70 years of UFO sightings and you know everything... 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what Shermer is talking about. The US seem to be obsessed with UFOs.. hence the socio cultural phenomenon remark. Hazzard, few countries have had organizations like MUFON or NUFORC, operating for decades. We are blessed here. My opinion. I know what Shermer did, he ^assumed^ that since UFO's do not exist, the Americans out West are unstable people, and fakers. Nod, if you see where Shermer went wrong, Hazzard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think about it, I'm sure the answer will come to you. Hint. Many thousands bursts in one tiny area over a very short time. Stop equating their technology with ours.

We are a first generation rocky planet with metals around a first generation unusually quiet yellow sun in the "habitable zone" of a first generation quiet galaxy and our system just happened to form in the molecular cloud of a neutron star merger giving us the good metals for advanced tech. We might have close to equals. But nothing that far beyond. I also have a problem with humanoid aliens. We are a pure product of environmental stresses and not a convergent to fill a niche and the way evolution works, if we encounter technological life and they don't have a large moon pulling on them.
