In conversation a few weeks ago I discussed the analysis plan for Metron Deep Research with a friend of mine. I told him, each analysis, taken as a subset corpus from the Primary repository stands on its own as having the potential to glean interesting insights. But each silo of analysis is likely to beContinue reading “Studying UFOs: Data Challenges, Facts & Analysis Approach”

The Difficulty Analyzing CEIV – Abduction Cases
We have been hesitant to delve into the UFO abduction topic due to the high level of unfactual contamination inherent in this corner of ufology. Abduction cases are subject to large amounts of hoax, alternative causes such as sleep paralysis/night terrors and an absence of physical evidence (analysis of materials removed from the bodies ofContinue reading “The Difficulty Analyzing CEIV – Abduction Cases”
Again, About Those Recent CIA Files…
We could not help but dig a bit deeper into the recent documents released by the CIA pertaining to UFO’s as detailed in a FOIA request from The Black Vault. This time around we ran a topic extraction analysis. We must again state this is a beyond-normal challenging set of documents due to the sheerContinue reading “Again, About Those Recent CIA Files…”
About Those Recent CIA UFO Files…
You may be aware that the CIA recently responded to a FOIA request from The Black Vault regarding UFO documents. You can find the latest document dump here. If you are unfamiliar with The Black Vault, we highly recommend you pour yourself a steaming hot cup of curiosity and peruse the many interesting documents theyContinue reading “About Those Recent CIA UFO Files…”
NLP Analysis: MUFON Journals
Project Name: MUFONJRNL1 Project: NLP Analysis of a corpus consisting of MUFON Journals from the 1970’s and late 1980’s. Corpus: PDF document file types, 33 in total Description: MUFON is the Mutual UFO Network, a group of civilian ufo researchers and ufologists. They publish a monthly journal that is distributed to membership. Many of theContinue reading “NLP Analysis: MUFON Journals”
The Usefulness of Probability in the Approach to the Study of the UFO/UAP Phenomenon.
If you estimate probabilities for every belief you can therefore choose the belief that features the highest probability. This is can be used for purposes of predicting outcomes. But it can also be used to add weight to a belief one is looking to validate. We take a basic probability formula, P(A) = n(A)/n(S) orContinue reading “The Usefulness of Probability in the Approach to the Study of the UFO/UAP Phenomenon.”
Metron Deep Research: A Statement
Research conducted by Metron Deep Research supplies credence to the theoretical constructs regarding the deeply symbolic nature of the UFO/UAP phenomenon. Various shades of this theory exist with the most prolific, and in our opinion, relevant, being the Vallee Hypothesis (VH), sometimes also referred to as the Interdimensional Hypothesis (IDH). For our purposes and theContinue reading “Metron Deep Research: A Statement”
Help Defeat Covid-19
Kaggle has made 44,000 documents provided by the White House available on their website for text data scientists to download. The challenge is well defined and specific questions are asked to be solved. You can access the challenge and files here. This is a chance to further prove the power of textual data analysis. SignificantContinue reading “Help Defeat Covid-19”
Toward A Believability Score
In Wall Street investment circles there is a concept known as the “conviction rating.” The conviction rating is applied to investment ideas as an indicator of the degree of certainty that the investment will produce a profitable outcome. The scale may be on 1 to 10 basis with 10 being the highest absolute certainty thatContinue reading “Toward A Believability Score”
The Phenomena Represents A Challenge To Data Science
In a data science approach to the study of the phenomena there are many challenges to overcome. View the dataverse from a 30,000 foot macro perspective and you see a serious fragmentation and pooling of data regarding the phenomena. Drill down to any of these sources and you will find varying degrees of structured versusContinue reading “The Phenomena Represents A Challenge To Data Science”
