The decline in UFO sightings continues
SyracuseNewsTimes ^ | Cherly Costa

Posted on 07/28/2018 6:57:29 AM PDT by BenLurkin

MUFON sighting numbers have been suffering as well. In 2016 their average monthly sightings were between 350 and 400 per month. In 2017 sighting numbers fell between 275 and 300 reports per month. In 2018 the sighting numbers started at about 375 and bounced between 250 and 300 per month, as shown on the chart.

As shown in the chart, in 2016 the combined UFO sighting numbers hovered between 700 and nearly 900 per month. In 2017 the sighting numbers were down from 2016, and hovered between 260 to its lowest at 240, with a brief upsurge in June to a little over 325. In 2018, the combined sighting numbers started out at about 340 and bounced back and forth between 250 and 300, but are still heading downward.

Since the June article, I have had a great deal of social media commentary regarding this downward trend. The comments range from “The aliens don’t like us,” “People are apathetic about reporting,” and “Perhaps there’s something astronomically going on with where the aliens are from.” One comment suggested that the aliens are afraid of President Trump’s proposed Space Force.

Square/rectangle silhouettes have been on a steady increase since 2010, while all the other common UFO silhouettes have been declining. Even the square/rectangles have shown a slight decrease in the past two years.

But one UFO that still continues to increase in sightings is the Saturn silhouette. The Saturn shape has been around for some time: One was reported in village of Norwood in St. Lawrence County, New York, in July 1833.

Oh, thank God they’re going away. Now we can all get back to normal.

Trump either scared them all away or he had previously conspired with them to help alarm Hillary supporters and they aren’t needed, any more.

The Russians are probably manipulating the UFO sightings data. Congress needs to investigate this.

“The decline in UFO sightings continues...”

They’re probably massing on the edge of the solar system for an attack on earth.

>>Trump’s fault.<<

I heard on “Coast to Coast” the other morning that UFOs (disguised as meteors) are giving us a pass now that Trump is POTUS.

The hit to the extraterrestrial tourism industry will not be seen until Q3 economic results.

An ominous sign. The calm before the storm.

I think it's a little puzzling that, with the explosion in personal video, smart phones, dash board cams, CCTV, security came, and on and on...

WHERE ARE ALL THE PICTURES?

Maybe our stratosphere has become too crowded with slow moving matter (both man-made and celestial) due to
lack of Sunspot activity. Sunspots typically go on an 11 year cycle. Earth’s upper atmosphere will contract a little, and this means space junk in very low Earth orbit will feel less atmospheric drag and stay in orbit longer, adding to the concentration of debris.
