June was by far the lull month. February, March, April, May and December were strong months. - The 9 to 10 PM time slot was almost twice as active as the next period. As suspected, the hours from 7 PM to 2 AM were the more active time periods. - The duration of the typical sighting was from 3 to 9 minutes. Sightings lasting from 10 to 27 minutes were next, and those from 1 to 2 minutes were next. Sightings of less than one minute far exceeded sightings longer than 30 minutes. - Disk/round UFOs and "other" shapes were reported significantly more often. Deltoid shapes were next most popular followed by Ovals, Lights, Rectangular and Cylinders. - 1988 and 1989 were peak years for reports, followed by 1990. 1986 had the least number of sightings during the five year period evaluated. =END= Regards, John --- * Origin: MUTUAL-UFO NETWORK - MUFONET-BBS NETWORK 901-785-4943 (1:123/26) --EOF-- Don -- -* Don Allen *- // Only | Are you ready for SETI?
