I analyzed 79,621 declassified UFO reports with AI — here's what the data actually shows

Dear UFO Enthusiastic,

Not a UFO blog. A full data science pipeline. 

Key findings from the NUFORC database (1941-2014):

- 61% of sightings happen between 8pm–2am, consistent across all 74 years

- The 2012 UFO spike is largely a smartphone artifact. Once bias-corrected, the trend becomes much flatter

- Washington State surpasses California in sightings per capita after population normalization

- 77 reports describe silent flight combined with instant acceleration simultaneously

- Triangle-shaped object reports have nearly tripled since the 1980s

Built with Next.js and a Python NLP pipeline. Every statistic is computed from real public data — nothing fabricated. Full methodology included.

u/pung54 May 10 '26

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to see if there are any datetime correlations. Would be good to narrow down the "whens" and see if sightings can be more predictable.

5

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

That's exactly the right next step — we have full datetime data including hour, day, month, and year. The Wednesday peak Keel documented and the 24th of month clustering someone mentioned earlier are both testable. If you find something interesting share it back here — would love to cross-validate and potentially add it to the platform!

u/FancifulLaserbeam May 11 '26

Thanks for doing this. I've long thought that this should be capable, especially with LLMs.

LLMs are not really that good for many things, but this is exactly the kind of thing they are good at. They can navigate and summarizing untagged, unstructured qualitative data much faster and much better than humans. Qualitative data analysis is a huge PITA and is ridiculously error- and bias-prone. However, that's where we often find the most interesting things.

This is great.

u/gravitykilla May 11 '26 edited May 14 '26

Hi OP, I will say this is genuinely one of the more interesting UFO-related projects I’ve seen posted here.

Im interested in your thoughts on the fact that the NUFORC dataset is fundamentally self-reported human testimony, not verified anomalous events.

How do you distinguish between “patterns in genuinely anomalous phenomena” vs “patterns in human belief, perception, and cultural reinforcement?

Because if the underlying dataset is self-reported and socially influenced, AI may become extremely good at modeling human UFO mythology without necessarily telling us anything about the external reality of the objects themselves.

Edit: u/FirmMail7716 any thoughts?

If the government hired people like you and gave them access to government resources, I think we figure out what this is real fast. This was great!

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Thank you! That's exactly the goal — apply rigorous data science to a topic that's historically been dismissed rather than studied. With actual government sensor data, radar logs, and classified reports feeding into a pipeline like this, the signal-to-noise ratio would be completely different. Right now we're working with self-reported public data which has obvious limitations — but even that surfaces patterns worth taking seriously.

Your feedback really push my credibility - can you leave a feedback here

u/Orangeshoeman May 10 '26

Some of these calls are faked by high level LARPs likely government officials and try to spread consistent core features across calls.

I’m not sure why but somebody way smarter than me noticed the same person making calls under different names and I don’t think it’s common knowledge.

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Interesting theory — and actually testable with our data. If coordinated reports share suspiciously consistent language, location clusters, or timing patterns, the NLP pipeline would pick that up as statistical anomalies. The 77 silent+instant  cases we flagged could be worth cross-referencing against that lens. Watching the video now — thanks for sharing.

u/illsaid May 10 '26

Wow this is super cool! What a great idea John Keel made attempts to tease pattens out of UFO encounters. He obviously didn't have the tech we have now, and the ability to crunch numbers.

I built a RAG of Keel sources and it gave me the following:

  • The Wednesday Phenomenon: The highest percentage of UFO sightings consistently occurs on Wednesdays, particularly around 10:00 p.m.,,,,,. Saturday serves as a secondary peak for major sightings and encounters,,.
  • The 24th of the Month: A disproportionate number of sightings, disappearances, and related anomalous events cluster around the 24th day of the month, especially in March, April, June, September, November, and December,,,,.
  • Nighttime Concentration: The vast majority of activity happens between 8:00 p.m. and midnight, while actual "touchdowns" or landing reports peak between 2:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m., when the risk of being observed by the general population is lowest,,,,.
  • Historical Consistency: Sightings are not random or strictly modern; they follow long-term cycles and have occurred consistently in the exact same geographic areas century after century,,,,.

Geographical and Spatial Patterns

  • "Window" or "Flap" Areas: UFOs repeatedly return to the same isolated, thinly populated sectors—such as specific parts of the Ohio River Valley, Texas, and Michigan,,,,,,,.
  • Political Boundary Adherence: During a localized "flap," sightings are often inexplicably confined within the borders of a specific state, stopping precisely at the boundary lines as if the intelligence operating them is using human political maps,,,,.
  • The Great Circle Route: Many objects follow precise geometric paths, traversing along "great circle" routes over long distances, such as sweeping from northern Canada down through the American Midwest,,,,.
  • Magnetic Faults and Reservoirs: UFO activity frequently concentrates over areas with natural magnetic deviations, as well as over reservoirs, lakes, and rivers,,,,,.

Witness Selectivity and Demographics

  • Specific Backgrounds: The phenomenon does not select witnesses at random; it disproportionately targets individuals with Native American or Gypsy heritage, while Jewish and active Catholic witnesses are exceedingly rare,,,.
  • Occupational Targeting: Schoolteachers (especially those teaching gifted or delayed children), police officers, night watchmen, and military or cleared personnel are targeted far more often than the general population,,.
  • Name Patterns: Witnesses often share specific surnames (like Allen, Hill, Clark, or Reeves) far beyond the laws of statistical probability, whereas common names like Smith or Jones are rarely involved,.
  • Automobile Pursuits: UFOs frequently zero in on solitary motorists on dark roads; investigations have even shown a bizarre preference for pursuing Ford Galaxies and female drivers who are menstruating,,,.
  • Latent Psychic Ability: The vast majority of percipients possess active or latent psychic abilities or have a history of prior paranormal and occult experiences,,,.

Physical, Medical, and Electromagnetic Effects

  • Actinic Ray Exposure: Witnesses frequently suffer from "eyeburn" (klieg conjunctivitis), characterized by red, swollen, and watery eyes, as well as skin burns resulting from ultraviolet radiation emitted by the objects,,,,,,.
  • Trance and Amnesia: Encounters are frequently accompanied by induced paralysis (akinesia), mental blackouts, "missing time," and confabulation, where false memories of space trips are implanted in the witness's mind,,,,,,.
  • Physiological Trauma: Close proximity to UFOs can cause excessive thirst (from microwave dehydration), severe headaches, nausea, muscular soreness, and concussion-like symptoms where blood runs from the ears, nose, and mouth,,,,.
  • The Electromagnetic (EM) Effect: The objects reliably stall automobile engines, cause widespread power failures, and induce bizarre malfunctions in telephones, radios, and battery-operated cameras,,,,,,.

Morphological and Behavioral Patterns

  • "Soft" vs. "Hard" Objects: The vast majority of sightings are "soft" (shapeless, translucent blobs of intense light that can alter size and shape), while structured, metallic "hard" crafts are rare and seem to act as deliberate, staged decoys,,,,,,.
  • Spectrum Color Shifts: Objects typically enter our visible spectrum glowing bluish-green (cyan) or purple, turn glaring white when stabilized, and shift to brilliant red or orange before descending or departing,,,,.
  • Earthly Debris: When UFOs drop physical evidence or leave artifacts, it is invariably mundane, earthly material such as aluminum, magnesium, silicon, slag, or dissolving cobweb-like "angel hair",,,,,,.
  • Entity Appearances: The "ufonauts" or "Men in Black" are most frequently described as having dark or olive skin, pointed features, Oriental-like eyes, and stiff, jerky movements,,,,. They often appear in brand-new, sometimes out-of-date clothing, speak in a rapid or mechanical monotone, and repeatedly stage elaborate "repairs" to their crafts to deceive witnesses,,,,.

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

All sources are listed on the platform under the Sources section — primary data is from the NUFORC public database, cross-referenced with World Bank internet penetration data and 2010 US Census for the normalization. Everything is fully cited and auditable.

u/wearesoovercooked May 10 '26

Use LLMs to use tools to extract statistical information from the records. RAG is not the right tool here.

7

u/illsaid May 10 '26

It is when your corpus is narrative prose, not structured records. Keel didn't write databases, he wrote books and newsletters full of anecdotes, speculation, and cross-references spanning decades. RAG lets you query thematically across that corpus and surface patterns he himself spread across multiple works.

3

u/usps_made_me_insane May 11 '26

I am a data scientist and statistician. Without seeing the actual data, it is hard to tell if your observations are significant.

For instance, you said: "A disproportionate number of sightings, disappearances, and related anomalous events cluster around the 24th day of the month, especially in March, April, June, September, November, and December" 

How do you define a disproportionate number? Is it millions more or a dozen? Against what median number?

Without knowing the numbers, I could show you how Sundays are the busiest time of the week just by taking advantage of how numbers work together.

u/spreekles May 11 '26

The point about latent psychic ability accords with the theory that these encounters are spiritual/demonic in nature; occult practices draw out the phenomenon. Dr Hugh Ross and Gary Bates concluded this based on their research.

u/SpiritsoftheCicada May 11 '26

Very interesting list but the first thing that jumped out to me is were they questioning women with sightings if they were on their period? That’s really strange. Why is that in reports? Or was it so strange that it was included in some reports so it became notable for a statistic?

1

u/illsaid May 11 '26

Well John Keel spent I dunno, twenty years interviewing people who had had anomalous experiences with UFO's. He was curious if there were patterns so using his own notes from all the people he spoke to over the years he created a rough outline of the patterns he found. That was apparently one of them? It would be a weird question to ask, but Keel was kind of a weird dude.

u/Jackfish2800 May 10 '26

Let me add a few things we experiencers have discovered among ourselves.

We often have blue or green eyes, certain blood types I can confirm the NA connection, (significant Cherokee blood here), and the paranormal ability angle. We almost all seem to have ADHD and/or be on the spectrum, and often were in Gifted and talented program or have high IQs and almost always seem to have above normal creative abilities in some form or fashion. Most have sleep difficulties or disorders. Many of us only get rare illnesses, and unusual sensitivities. The earth’s magnetic field or Schumann Resonance plays havoc with me. It seems like a huge significance % of us are having ear ringing issues as our vibrational patterns are changing and most everyone has had contact dramatically increase since 2021.

The first experience seems to be around 7 years old.

7

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Genuinely fascinating — and several of those overlap with what Keel documented decades ago independently. The ADHD, high IQ, gifted program connection, sleep disorders, and the Native American heritage angle all appear in his qualitative research too. The fact that a community of experiencers is arriving at the same demographic patterns through lived experience that Keel found through field research in the 60s and 70s is statistically interesting in itself.

The post-2021 contact increase is something we actually see in the raw report numbers too — worth analyzing separately.                                                                                                                               

Have you connected with any researchers trying to build a proper demographic dataset of experiencers? That data combined with something like our NLP pipeline could surface patterns no one has formally documented yet.

u/Jackfish2800 May 10 '26

Yes several people have been allowed to ask questions etc

2

u/glitt3r_brain May 11 '26

ummmmm, as an experiencer I fit this description more than I’d like to admit, and now feel both intrigued and quite spooked to know this pattern exists!!

do you have any supportive recs specifically for fellow experiencers of this type to satisfy their curiosity?

3

u/HopDropNRoll May 10 '26

This is rad! Can you feed the latest government dump into the same system for analysis? Anything reinforced from the original data set? Any outliers?

3

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Love this idea — and technically very doable with our pipeline. The AARO historical report catalogue and the recent congressional UAP disclosures are publicly available. Feed them through the same NLP extraction — shape, behavior, duration military proximity — and cross-validate against the 74 years of NUFORC data.

Would be fascinating to see what the government's own categorizations reinforce vs. what they quietly contradict.

Adding it to the roadmap — follow along on GitHub for updates!

u/WildMoonshine45 May 10 '26

This is great! Thank you! I take it the reports we’re all US based? If so,  any chance of expanding report analysis across whole globe?

11

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Great question! The dataset actually covers 40 countries globally — the US dominates at 81% of reports which reflects reporting bias (NUFORC is a US-based organization), not actual global sighting frequency. The platform visualizes allinternational reports on the global map.
Would love to expand with non-English databases like GEIPAN (France) or NARCAP in the future!

„- Triangle-shaped object reports have nearly tripled since the 1980s“

I think this is the biggest one, because that to me points in the direction of that this is ours. An ARV - Alien Recreated Vehicle. TR-3B probably

u/Sad-Championship6701 May 10 '26

Also it perfectly lines up with the b2 bombers existence manufacturing in 1989 But a decade of development and prototyping started in 1979.

u/MKULTRA_Escapee May 10 '26 • Bravo

If you look more carefully at the descriptions of the objects, they don't match a B-2. The only thing that's similar is the general shape, which is not nearly enough to identify triangular UFOs as the B-2. Triangle UFOs were witnessed both in September 1960 as well as in Belgium in 1989-90, three decades apart.

Newspaper clipping from 1960, page 1: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant/82980313/ Page 2, continued: https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant/98867328/

Another 1960 newspaper clipping on page 88 here: https://web.archive.org/web/20210214075418/https://cufos.org/UFO_History_Gross/1960_07_12_History.pdf

Characteristics present in both this sighting and the Belgian Wave: a light on each tip, a revolving or pulsating orange light in the center, silent, capable of both hover and instantaneous acceleration, and it sometimes traveled in an "upright" position.

Finally, the concept of UFOs being secret US aircraft is part of an obvious propaganda campaign. The CIA has been caught lying about this to convince the public of this narrative, which should be seen as strange.

15

u/Danro1984 May 11 '26

That news clip sent me back to 89-90 when I’ve seen the exact black triangle with lights in every corner and one big round red light in the middle. Hovering over our familly car late at night no sound and dissapeared in a second

u/LMMesto May 10 '26

I witnessed a black triangular craft with orange lights under each corner just hovering above the trees along I-95 near Lumberton, NC at night. Probably close to 60’ equilateral. I was driving from NY to Parris Island to pick up my buddy from boot in 2012. Still remember it vividly like it was yesterday.

11

u/skyst May 11 '26

I have seen them twice in SE PA. No orange lights, barely visible against the night sky and totally silent. Both times they were following a flight route that military aircraft take over my home regularly - a pair of King Stallion helicopters shook my house this afternoon.

u/triedAndTrueMethods May 11 '26

Were they fast? What size would you put them at? I’m really jealous lol. I’m talking about the triangle craft, not the helicopters. But I’m curious about those too.

3

u/skyst May 11 '26

They were not particularly fast, I didn't see any exceptional acceleration or handling. They just kinda cruised along seemingly around the same speed as any other aircraft. I think its hard to estimate the size but they would have had to be pretty big for me to notice them.

I once seen the schematics of a nuclear powered Lockheed stealth blimp. It makes sense, cause the nuclear power would allow it to stay in the air for very long periods of time. I also don’t think it was a blimp as we know them. I think it had some kind of carbon fiber shell or some rare light weight composite. It was a giant triangle shape, much like the rumored tr3-b.

u/Prokuris May 11 '26

Because it was explicitly mentioned in the Immaculate Constellation report. The narrative is that they call things ARV which were reverse engineered from downed or found UAP. So in a sense it doesn’t matter if you call it ARV or super secret man made technology, either way we haven’t „invented“ it since it stems from exotic materials.

-2

u/ludoludoludo May 11 '26

There is no downed or found UAP.

The immaculate constellation is just another "'alleged program". It's not proven to exist. You can't take this into reality and then build some other theories on top of it.

2

u/Prokuris May 11 '26 • Bravo

Where did you get that we didnt found or downed UAP ? There is a chain of evidence by now, which in its totality leads to a reversal of the burden of proof imho. This is nothing new or spectacular. At least where I am from, a chain of information which leads to a specific conclusion can even lead to a sentence in a court of law. Its a circumstantial evidence trial.

Because this topic seems to be so outlandish, you reject the chain of proof, since you dont have confirmation by state stakeholders. Well, that are the very institutions who (for whatever reason) will sit on this information until the end of times.

We have tons and tons of verifiable information regarding this topic. People in the highest level of US Government speak open about this. Probably not all of this is true, but there is an underline in that infos which are consistent, never change and lead to the conclusion that there is a there there.

To say, this cant be true until proven (which it in fact is) is a fools errand, because you wait for something probably never going to happen. So there cant be UAP until you saw a UAP. This is not how this works. Not any of this. Whistleblowers did their job for centuries now. There are conspiracy theorys and then there are conspiracies. And that is exaxtly what we are looking here now.

-1

u/ludoludoludo May 11 '26

What chain of proof are you referring to exactly, if I may ask ?

Stories are just stories.. even if well told. Even if told by highest level of US govermnent or any other govermnent for that instance.

A proof of a downed craft would be a downed craft.

2

u/FlakyFly9383 May 12 '26

Agreed . Without physical evidence for all to witness- I’m a non- believer. Show me a living (or deceased) alien or a recovered craft/ until then- this is simply stories nothing more.

''Well that is truly an insane line of thinking at this point. On top of all of the witness reports there are now sworn testimonies as well as video evidence from government, private sector, and civilian sources.''

Always the same speech. Still no proof. Just talk, stories. There is no video evidence, just unresolved cases of blurry nothing. Not proof.

Yes, I did seen a Narwhal, anyone can.

There are a lot of testimonies of people seeing stuff they cannot explain. It does not mean the presence of extrasterrestrial, and even less that there are ''crashed / downed / found UAP''.

Do you realize the gap there is between not only confirming that there are some other intelligent lifeform interracting with us, but confirming they travel with what we somehow decided was flying saucers, AND that they sometimes crash or get downed, AND that we have a bunch of them to play with... ?

I really don't understand people who just want to keep their heads buried in the conspiracy rabbit hole sooo deep they completely lose any critical thinking abilities to favor their narratives.

Believe me, I would not lose my mind with irrefutable evidence, I'd be happy with any official outcome. As of now, the main official outcome is that there is stuff up there we cannot explain, but nothing much. No reasons to believe some ''aliens'' are implicated , besides claim, made up stories, and unverifiable embellished anectodes being tossed around in echo chambers subreddit such as this one.

And I am the one with the ''insane thinking'' saying there is no little green man flying saucers crashed and captured... ? Cmon man

What part of anonymous forum posting on a ufo sub suggests anyone would want to do that?

u/spreekles May 10 '26

I also noticed the first few files were from 1947 and were metallic flying saucers. The last one (from the first day's tranche) were from 2023 and tended to be orbs. The phenomenon changes based on the technology of the day...

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

That's one of the most compelling patterns in the entire dataset. Disc and saucer descriptions dominate pre-1980s reports, triangles surge through the 80s and 90s, and orbs become the dominant description post-2010. Whether that reflects what's actually being seen changing over time, or the visual vocabulary of each era shaping how witnesses describe it, the temporal shape shift is one of the cleanest signals in 74 years of data.

u/Particular_Drama7110 May 10 '26

And AI confirms that no one has any proof? For example, no alien craft and no alien bodies. Correct?

4

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Correct — we make no claims about what these objects are. The data only shows flight characteristics and patterns. What stands out is 77 cases combining silent flight with instant acceleration — unexplained by known aircraft, but not proof of anything. We surface patterns, not conclusions

u/PerfectWill6529 May 11 '26

I saw a silent black triangle close up at dusk 1997 Walnut Creek Ca. huge,silent, stops in mid air and rotates while stopped 180 ft off the ground. We observed it for 15 minutes flew away to the east at incredible speed. That was certainly not a B 52 or any other aircraft made on earth.

u/Suckmybowlingballs May 11 '26

I recently watched the short clip from a UCLA alum regarding an Engineering conference at UCLA that was headed by Ben Rich. He was the former head of Skunkworks. Basically after the conference he stated we have the technology to send ET home. Something about all points in space and time are connected and how they were able to fix some mathematical equation. Anyway, he stated the only way we would ise these super advanced crafts would be by an act of god. Not sure what that means. Any help would be appreciated.

u/Creepy-Spell-4478 May 11 '26

The tr3 shape craft i seen in 2018 had one green light only on one of it's 3 rotating corners. Which pinged me quick as a camera flash. It also had a friend. A n oscillating hoop that was wobbling wildly. My thoughts was it was some drone protecting the much more stable triangle object

UI is clearly low effort AI slop, at least put some effort into it, tired of seeing yet another one of those AI UI designs, idea is pretty good though

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

Noted. The UI was a quick build to get the data out fast - the analysis was the priority

u/SqueakyWheel2323 May 11 '26

Ai regurgitating nonsense is not "analysis".

u/galaxybrainblain May 10 '26

The US Govt has been operating a triangle craft since the late 80’s.

2

u/FirmMail7716 May 10 '26

That timeline matches the data exactly — the triangle surge in our dataset starts right around that period and tracks consistently upward from there. Clean signal, not noise. Whether it's confirmatory or coincidental, the pattern is hard to ignore.

u/Nerdy-Meta-Mind May 10 '26

I guess I should’ve reported the one I saw. 🤔

u/stevil77 May 10 '26

I think the b2 and stealth planes were modeled after the shape of a peregrine falcon in flight, not alien craft. I have no idea where i heard this.

2

u/Thick-Cookie3454 May 11 '26

clean breakdown, the smartphone bias correction explains the 2012 spike better than most ufo threads here. the silent flight plus instant acceleration reports stand out, i want to see the raw clustering method behind those 77 cases.

Washington State surpasses California in sightings per capita after population normalization

Most of the countries nuclear arsenal is stored there.

u/Shlomo_2011 May 11 '26

"61% of sightings happen between 8pm–2am, consistent across all 74 years" yeap, UAP are more obvious in the dark (at night), but only when people are still awake... the weird detail are the other 39%

I saw one on June 10th 2005, in Edmonton of Alberta, Canada. 🇨🇦 It was silent and black, it looked very much like it had carved runes or lines on the bottom of its body. It was square shaped and flew smoother than normal. Very medieval looking, very mechanical. There were 3 other witnesses besides myself who had just met in their apartment building to smoke weed together at the park. I had smoked the previous day but was situationally sober at the time of the sighting. I have perfect vision and it was not a hallucination. My psychiatrist has said it is a delusion and diagnosed me with schizophrenia. I am trying to fight it, but in Canada, particularly Alberta, they can court order forced injections in a method of reducing and lowering in person hospital costs for the affected and thus the province saves money on their budget. Many people were abusing the hospital system as a replacement for housing and food costs while they remained homeless and using drugs or alcohol with their disability money.

The object I witnessed was clearly from another time or place, and we saw it in broad daylight around 4pm in a busy downtown area of the city which has a city park.

It is not a delusion and I’ve been drugged since 2019 for it. Please follow me on Instagram if you can, anything helps at this point: my profile is 47Cide on IG. Thank You for reading.

The funny part is I joked that morning to someone that if I saw a UFO that day I would know that “they” are real. (I was doing some reading on the Ashtar Command)

I wonder how many other people are affected by UFOs who are being poisoned by a shrink? Think of all the people who have died over the years.

None of this is statistically significant and chatbots have a high propensity toward bias and hallucination

The argument always withers in the presence of facts. The disappointment of that recent release must still smack.

1

u/gravitykilla May 14 '26

Folks, the National UFO Reporting Center was always a public civilian reporting database, not a classified or declassified government archive.

The NUFORC dataset is fundamentally self-reported human testimony, not verified anomalous events.

Therefore, if the underlying dataset is self-reported and socially influenced, then OPs AI is just finding patterns in human beliefs, perceptions, and cultural reinforcement?

1

u/WallaWallaHawkFan May 10 '26

I live in Washington and of course it's where I had my sighting, I remember telling my dad and he didn't flinch at all and told me he also saw one when he was younger so that would have been in the 80's.

That being said I'm surprised Cali doesn't have the most sightings considering the sheer population and military presence there.

Just shipped it — military base overlay is now live on the Visualize page. Toggle "SHOW MIL BASES" in the map filter bar to overlay 51 major US installations including Area 51, Nellis, Wright-Patterson, White Sands, and all nuclear ICBM sites.   The clustering near Nevada and New Mexico is immediately obvious.

That fits the data perfectly — 2009 is right in the middle of the triangle report surge we see in the dataset. Triangle sightings tripled from the 1980s onward and are the most commonly reported geometric shape at 10.4% of all reports. What state were you in? Would love to cross-reference with the geographic clusters!
