UFO Statistics: “UFO Sightings Map: by Shapes in South America”

The whole article:

“Three general UFO shapes are overlaid here. ‘Saucers’ in Blue are disks, cones, ovoids and spheres together. Violet is for ‘Cigars,’ cylinders, fuselages, elongated shapes. Green indicates angular forms: flying triangles, deltoids, diamonds, rectangles.

These overlap somewhat, some reports indicate multiple shapes. An earlier disk might be covered over by a later cigar. The same UFO might be described as either depending on perspective. Disks outnumber cigars, and both outnumber Flying Triangles which are fairly scarce in South America.

One lonely Cigar shows in Chilean Tierra del Fuego at the bottom of the map. Note the band of cigars between 30 and 35 degrees South Longitude across Chile and Argentina.”

The whole article:

“Here, three general UFO shapes are distinguished by colors. Light blue for round UFOs: saucers, disks, cones, ovoids and spheres. Violet is for cigars, cylinders, fuselages, elongated shapes.  Green indicates angular forms: triangles, deltoids, diamonds etc. There will be some overlap. Multiple shapes are sometimes seen together. One man’s cigar is another man’s disk.

Flying triangles appeared in the mid 1970s, fell back, then returned in force from 1988 onward, especially in Belgium and England. Cigars are common in Portugal and France, less so in Spain.

Sightings at sea tend to be cigars. Note the distribution in Sweden: saucers in the West, cigars in the East, triangles in between. Romania prefers saucers in the North and Triangles to the South.”

The whole article:

“Three general UFO shapes are overlaid here. Layer #1 in Blue are disks, cones, ovoids, plates and spheres. Violet is for cigars, cylinders, fuselages, cigarette shapes. Layer #3 in Green indicates angular forms: flying triangles, deltoids, diamonds, rectangles etc.

There is some overlap. Multiple shapes are reported at times. A saucer might be overlaid by a triangle, the same place but at a later date. A saucer seen edge-on becomes a ‘cigar’ at times.

Disks outnumber cigars/cylinders, and both appeared early on. Flying triangles show mostly in urbanized areas near coastlines. Rural FTs show around Indiana. One small cluster was near Lumberton, NC in 1975 (79W x 34N) predated a major Belgian deltoid wave by 14 years.”
