Six months ago I made a thread about my UFO forecasting software. Then two months later, I made another thread. I'm glad I did because I got some helpful feedback. Based in part on that, I was able to improve the software and successfully test it on dozens of historical UFO events. The results are even better than I hoped. For those of you who haven't read those threads, I'll introduce myself and the software. I'm an amateur researcher and an experiencer. I started a research project on reddit a year ago, with the help of about 150-200 reddit experiencers. I've been adding their natal birth charts to a dataset and comparing them to a control group of natal charts and a UFO event chart group. An event chart is like a natal chart, only using a documented incident instead of a birth. My python codebase is designed to break the charts down and compare them across dozens of metrics. After comparing them all, it became clear that the event charts don’t look random. They tend to cluster around a recognizable geometric signature. Especially in declination compression and symbolic aspect density. That gave me the idea to build the Contact Zone Forecaster. The CNZ is a pattern that appears when certain symbolic geometries in a chart compress into a narrow configuration (tight declination alignments, dense minor aspects, and node structures). When I started scanning charts using those dimensions, I noticed that experiencers and historical UFO events tended to cluster in the same region of the metric space. That observation led to a deeper analysis of charts across the experiencer, control, and event datasets, which produced what I now call the Centroid Triangle. Three kinds of charts, clustering into a triangle. The software can analyze a single chart, and the software can also scan an entire window of time around a historical UFO case and looks for spikes in those same structural patterns. That's what I did with the window of time that encompasses the Rendlesham Forest incident. Rendlesham is one of the best documented UFO cases. Multiple military witnesses, a clearly defined timeframe, coordinates. I ran the software across the nine-day window surrounding the events, effectively sweeping the timeline hour by hour and measuring how closely each moment resembled the geometric signature found in the event dataset. What came out of that sweep was big. The strongest signal spikes clustered tightly inside the known incident window, with the highest concentration appearing on December 26, 1980, the night of the first encounter. Several of the top-ranked nodes occurred within hours of each other on that day, while precursor signals appeared just before the event window and gradually faded afterward. Of course, this doesn’t prove that UFO encounters are caused by astrology. That’s not the claim. What it does show is that when you scan time using the same structural metrics that appear in experiencer and UFO event charts, the signal is not flat. Instead of random noise, the sweep produced a clear rise-peak-decay pattern centered on the historical incident window. For a first proof-of-concept test, that’s exactly what you would hope to see from a temporal anomaly detector. There's an intro to the software here. It should be available for download by the end of summer. Feel free to ask any questions here or on my sub submitted by /u/Julian_Thorne [link] [comments]
