Take a look at the year 1952 on page 4. There is a discontinuity in the
number of UFO sightings. Why? Was there some reason for a "frenzy" to happen
in that year but not the previous or following years?

I have the feeling that something triggered a frenzy of UFO sightings
perhaps do to something/a sighting that became well known in that year -
perhaps the number of TVs increase in 1952. Then in 1953 people got bored
with it and that's why it dropped in 1952.

Anyone here around in 1952 - were TVs becomming more popular around that
year?

Note: There were other years that had a large number (doubled the norm) of
sightings. But the number of unexplained sightings in 1952 was much much
higher.

Most UFO sightings actually come from military and civilian aircraft. There
has never been any "frenzy" around sightings. While TV was beginning to
become popular in 1952, it would be many years before people became bored
with it. If anything, the spikes in the years shown may be due to an
increase in air travel, and thus more flight crew.

In 1952 there were a number of UFO sightings over Washington, D.C.,
including some that were detected on radar. I'm sure that stirred up
the public's interest, and may have led to more reporting of
sightings. It also led to the government becoming serious about
keeping a lid on the stories. Later reportings may have been
discouraged, thus explaining the drop off.

Perhaps an awareness, from the media, that unusual lights might mean
something, combined with some requirement to report unusual "sightings".

Or, perhaps more likely, the aliens ran out of funding for their
research as we had proved so uninteresting.

Well, that would explain quite a lot about the senators, congressmen
and president.

Posting Roswell trash in this newsgroup is what
is weird. Oh, it must be about anti-gravity. :-)

Or TWA increased its number of flights (night and day). People then
learned how to identify airplanes. When did planes start
to flash lights when flying?
