We’re still in the early data-collecting stages of our project; but in doing so we’ve come across an intriguing pattern. The figure below plots total U.F.O. sightings in the U.S. for each state (per 10,000 residents) between 1997 and 2007 against total Bigfoot sightings in each state (per 10,000 residents) for the same period.
The relationship is strong and positive. States with more U.F.O. sightings also have more Bigfoot sightings. In fact, six of the top ten U.F.O. and Bigfoot states are the same: Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Alaska, Wyoming, and Colorado. Two states, Washington and Oregon, are among both categories’ top five.
"The data suggest that alien spacecraft and Bigfoot tend to visit the same states with similar relative frequencies."
Basically concluding: "a number of the top ten U.F.O. and Bigfoot states share more in common than ample sightseeing opportunities. For instance, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Colorado — both U.F.O. and Bigfoot hot spots — are among the least religious states in the country, which might impact their citizens’ likelihood of “seeing” both phenomena."
Now as fascinating as this study is, one could also come to other conclusions such as Bigfoots are really aliens. How else can you explain their technology that blurs cameras and videos from great distances? Or maybe the aliens are just messing with us and dressing in Bigfoot costumes when visiting. Who knows? It could be their equivalent to college hazing. And Crop circles being a version of tagging the earth with their fraternity logo.
I'm anxiously awaiting their next study on Chupacabra, Werewolves, the Loch Ness Monster, Vampires , Elves and Pixies. I bet they find similar correlations.
No matter, I'm sure all these mysteries will be solved by 2012 anyway.
