UFO Reports Spike After Media Events

It turns out that when you take 15 years of UFO and alien reports and stick them on a chronological timeline, the number of reports spike after major media events prominently featuring aliens and UFOs.  1978 was a big year because that’s when Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released.  1996 was another big [...]
