“…Complete NUFORC data were downloaded on February 15, 2021; MUFON data were provided on March 1, 2021, for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. We note that, when people choose to report a UFO sighting, they typically do so within a few days of the event (Antonio et al, 2022), however this is not always the case; due to these reporting delays, some sightings from the 2018-2020 period will be reported after the data were accessed, but the number will be small compared to the total for each database of about 5,000 reports per year. Only reports from the United States are used in this analysis.…”
