My first approach to analyzing 152,000 UFO sightings had a 34% accuracy rate. I almost published it anyway. Here's what went wrong with semantic embeddings, why I pivoted to LLM extraction, and the methodology that actually worked.
I claimed triangles are nocturnal. That disks are 5x more likely to involve entities. That shadow beings terrify while light beings inspire awe. Here's the sighting ID index so you can verify it yourself.
I analyzed entity encounters in the NUFORC sightings database. Shadowy beings: 68% of witnesses report fear. Greys: 38% involve abduction. Light beings: more awe than fear.
The "1989 Circle of Lights" study explores the impact of human intention on random event generators (REGs). Spanning three decades, this research includes 27 distinct experiments, primarily focused on influencing REGs using mental intention. The experiments incorporated control tests and utilized various methodologies, including direct and seed modes of event generation.
Results from these experiments indicate a significant correlation between intention and the statistical output of REGs. Out of the 27 experiments, eight yielded statistically significant results supporting the influence of intention. These findings suggest a noteworthy interaction between consciousness and physical systems.
The study also delves into the theoretical implications of these findings, situating them within the broader context of parapsychology. It raises questions about the nature of consciousness and its potential to interact with and influence physical systems, opening avenues for further research in this intriguing field.
