Distribution of observations in time
Since 1951, a certain periodicity has been recorded in the large-scale appearance
of the phenomena, with clearly marked peaks in.1954, 1964, 1967 and 1975. How-
ew~r, scientific reseax·chers have not yet been able to find any partic~ular
£Jpatial occurrence in the universe that corresponds to this "pe::-iodicity". Only
one piece of data could be put forward by Mr Poher! ~ere seems to exist a
correlation between UFO observations and temporary abnormal fluctuations in the
earth's magnetic field.
At the overall level of the phenomenon, only the following points can therefore
be put .forward: ...
Observations canno~ be suspect since in more than 8~ of cases, they can be
. '·
correlated. with aero-space or physical "events"..
