They suggest that the almost constant UFO activity from 1965 to the present indicates that close approaches of the planet to Mars to earth is no longer a factor; there are no longer cyclical recurrences of UFO activity peaks. An interpretation of this might be that UFOs are interplanetary in origin and the occupants have established bases close enough to earth so that long journeys are no longer necessary, the authors say.
