I would not otherwise drag ATS threads over here, but I came across, what to me, anyway, is a -most- intriguing ufology idea. This research connects sighting surges with/following ufo movies. Per one David Clarke, ufo consultant at the National Archives. It always reminded me of a link I used to have, to a 1950 Rand Report document on the use of "superstitious beliefs" for the purposes of psychological warfare. (I had went back to revisit that link, at one point, and found it disabled.)
Despite my own sightings, I am on the fence as to what anomalous ufo experiences are. Probably closest to the truth, is that each witnesses' has it's very own unique reason. Of which there are many numbers.
So, this ufo/movie idea is called, "Ufo sightings: The Will Smith effect examined."
