French researchers analyze, attempt to find patterns in UFO 'hotspots'

[kalibex]

Out of the 1,961 sightings recorded between 1951 and 2013, Thibault Laurent, Christine Thomas-Agnan, and Michaël Vaillant have 381 D-class observations, and their conclusions are provocative. They considered many variables surrounding these events. Population density being a key factor for their models. More people and more sightings mean more reports. But this is only the tip of the iceberg as Thibault and pals note a strong correspondence of D-class reports around nuclear power plants and toxic waste dumps. Also factoring into the mix are rural areas, forests, and wetlands.

Thanks for sharing, kalibex.

I was reminded of a post from Approaching Infinity in the Inter-dimensional windows and Seth's co-ordinate points thread about another 1958 French study of UFO patterns which came up with the concept of orthotenic lines that may be important for a grid pattern underlying UFO sightings.

AI's post can be found in Reply #48 and Archea's follow up is in Reply #87.

Might be of relevance here, I think.
