Episode notes
1970s: A Spike That Signals Change
- Richard Dolan found a dramatic rise in USO reports during the 1970s, making that decade unusually dense with sightings.
- He treats that spike as a behavioral signal that something changed in the phenomenon's activity or participants.
Shift To Night And EM Interference
- Nighttime encounters and electromagnetic interference increased sharply after the late 1960s.
- Dolan reads these correlated shifts as behavioral adaptation by the objects or intelligences involved.
Beings Rare, Memories Potentially Altered
- Only about five percent of USO cases include beings or missing time, and many missing-time reports lack clear being descriptions.
- Dolan warns cognitive manipulation and telepathic communication may affect witness memories and descriptions.
