[[INTRODUCTION]]
The cosmic enigma of UFO sightings has fascinated and perplexed humanity for decades, with people eagerly seeking evidence of visitors from outer space. In a similar vein, the recall of automotive vehicles has been a terrestrial concern, with manufacturers striving to ensure the safety and reliability of their products. It is in this juxtaposition of the extraterrestrial and the automobile that we find the inspiration for our research, delving into the tantalizing question: Could there be a celestial force at play in the realm of automotive recalls?
As we embark on this otherworldly journey of investigation, we must first acknowledge the skepticism and raised eyebrows that often accompany discussions of UFOs and statistical correlations. Nevertheless, it is our firm belief that scientific inquiry should not be limited by terrestrial boundaries but should extend to the far reaches of the cosmos. After all, as every good scientist knows, curiosity is the driving force of exploration, whether it be of distant galaxies or perplexing statistical anomalies.
The alignment of UFO sightings and automotive recalls may appear as improbable as a UFO sighting itself, prompting us to carefully consider the evidence and statistical analyses. As we navigate the sea of data, let us approach this investigation with open minds and an abundance of caution, much like a driver navigating a winding road on a foggy night. After all, we must be ever-mindful of potential statistical red herrings or, in this case, red-planet holographic projections.
In the words of the wise statistical theorist, Yoda Yodasen, "Correlations strong, these findings are. But causation, prove them we must." With this sage advice in mind, we shall traverse the celestial and automotive landscapes, seeking to unveil the hidden threads connecting UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls. And perhaps, in the process, we will shed light on one of the universe's most confounding mysteries, much like a trusty headlight illuminating the darkest of statistical alleys.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
Data Collection:
The data for this study was collected from the National UFO Reporting Center and the US Department of Transportation from the years 1976 to 2021. The National UFO Reporting Center provided detailed records of UFO sightings in Delaware, while the US Department of Transportation supplied comprehensive data on automotive recalls issued by Honda. The UFO data was scrutinized for any signs of little green men driving around in their UFOs, while the automotive recall data was examined for any peculiar patterns resembling extraterrestrial interference.
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data, we employed a team of highly trained UFO spotters and Astronomical Society members, who meticulously combed through countless records of celestial phenomena. Additionally, a group of Honda enthusiasts and automotive engineers were tasked with scrutinizing every recall issued by Honda, looking for any signs of a cosmic fingerprint. Their exhaustive efforts revealed a trove of data that became the foundation of our investigation. Our data-mining process can be likened to searching for a needle in a haystack, although in this case, the needle happens to be a UFO and the haystack is the vast expanse of automotive recalls.
Statistical Analysis:
To assess the relationship between UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls, we utilized advanced statistical techniques, including correlation analysis, time series analysis, and regression models. The correlation coefficient was employed to measure the strength and direction of the linear relationship between the two variables, giving us insight into the extent of their interstellar entanglement. The statistical results were scrutinized with an eagle eye, or perhaps we should say, an alien eye, for any hints of a cosmic conspiracy.
Amidst the rigorous statistical analyses, it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation, as wise statisticians and intergalactic philosophers alike have emphasized. Therefore, while our findings may suggest a connection between UFO sightings and Honda automotive recalls, we refrain from making hasty conclusions about the influence of extraterrestrial beings on the manufacturing processes of Honda. Nevertheless, our statistical journey has shed light on a curious nexus between the celestial and the terrestrial, prompting further inquiry into the cosmic dimensions of automotive safety.
In the words of a renowned statistician, "When in doubt, run more regressions." This mantra guided our meticulous approach to unraveling the enigmatic association between UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls, as we endeavored to illuminate the shadowy corners of statistical inference with the brilliance of cosmic curiosity.

[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the data gathered from the National UFO Reporting Center and the US Department of Transportation yielded intriguing results. The correlation coefficient of 0.7551528 indicates a strong positive correlation between UFO sightings in Delaware and the number of automotive recalls issued by Honda. This suggests that as UFO sightings increase, so do the automotive recalls from Honda, and vice versa. It's almost as if there's an otherworldly force at play, guiding the fate of these automotive recalls. One might even say it's a case of "universal driving forces" influencing earthly events.
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.5702557 provides evidence that approximately 57% of the variation in automotive recalls can be explained by the variation in UFO sightings. This finding implies a substantial degree of predictability, as if the cosmic dance of UFOs has a discernible impact on the recall patterns of Honda vehicles. It's as if the forces of the universe are aligning to ensure that statistical patterns remain as mysterious and perplexing as the UFO sightings themselves.
The p-value of less than 0.01 indicates that the observed correlation is statistically significant, providing strong evidence against the null hypothesis. This means that the likelihood of the observed correlation occurring by chance is exceedingly low, further bolstering the case for a genuine connection between these seemingly disparate phenomena. One might even say it's a statistical "close encounter" of the significant kind.
In Fig. 1, the scatterplot visually displays the robust correlation between UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls. The data points are tightly clustered along a positively sloped line, emphasizing the consistent association between these two variables. It's as if the scatterplot itself is an illustration of the cosmic interplay between the celestial and the automotive, where each point represents a potential UFO sighting influencing the fate of a Honda vehicle.
In conclusion, our findings not only confirm the existence of a remarkable link between UFO sightings in Delaware and automotive recalls issued by Honda, but also invite us to ponder a larger question: Could extraterrestrial activity be shaping the trajectory of terrestrial events, including the manufacturing processes of a prominent automaker? As researchers explore these unexpected connections, it seems the universe continues to humor us with statistical anomalies that are truly "out of this world."

While not directly related to UFO sightings or Honda recalls, the game's cosmic ambiance may inspire contemplation on the interconnectedness of celestial phenomena and earthly machinery.
Have you heard about the new board game for car enthusiasts and UFO aficionados? It's called "The Cosmic Recall: Interstellar Showdown Edition."
In conclusion, the literature presents a wealth of information on UFO sightings, automotive recalls, and speculative fiction related to otherworldly vehicle encounters. However, the intersection of these domains remains conspicuously unexplored, leaving ample room for our investigation to shed light on this enigmatic connection. As we delve deeper into the data, let us heed the words of wisdom from the yet-to-be-discovered statistical forefather, "When navigating uncharted statistical territories, one must always expect the unexpected, much like encountering a UFO at a cosmic intersection."
[[RESULTS]]
The statistical analysis of the data gathered from the National UFO Reporting Center and the US Department of Transportation yielded intriguing results. The correlation coefficient of 0.7551528 indicates a strong positive correlation between UFO sightings in Delaware and the number of automotive recalls issued by Honda. This suggests that as UFO sightings increase, so do the automotive recalls from Honda, and vice versa. It's almost as if there's an otherworldly force at play, guiding the fate of these automotive recalls. One might even say it's a case of "universal driving forces" influencing earthly events.
Furthermore, the r-squared value of 0.5702557 provides evidence that approximately 57% of the variation in automotive recalls can be explained by the variation in UFO sightings. This finding implies a substantial degree of predictability, as if the cosmic dance of UFOs has a discernible impact on the recall patterns of Honda vehicles. It's as if the forces of the universe are aligning to ensure that statistical patterns remain as mysterious and perplexing as the UFO sightings themselves.
The p-value of less than 0.01 indicates that the observed correlation is statistically significant, providing strong evidence against the null hypothesis. This means that the likelihood of the observed correlation occurring by chance is exceedingly low, further bolstering the case for a genuine connection between these seemingly disparate phenomena. One might even say it's a statistical "close encounter" of the significant kind.
In Fig. 1, the scatterplot visually displays the robust correlation between UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls. The data points are tightly clustered along a positively sloped line, emphasizing the consistent association between these two variables. It's as if the scatterplot itself is an illustration of the cosmic interplay between the celestial and the automotive, where each point represents a potential UFO sighting influencing the fate of a Honda vehicle.
In conclusion, our findings not only confirm the existence of a remarkable link between UFO sightings in Delaware and automotive recalls issued by Honda, but also invite us to ponder a larger question: Could extraterrestrial activity be shaping the trajectory of terrestrial events, including the manufacturing processes of a prominent automaker? As researchers explore these unexpected connections, it seems the universe continues to humor us with statistical anomalies that are truly "out of this world."

[[DISCUSSION]]
The findings of this study provide compelling evidence for the association between UFO sightings in Delaware and automotive recalls issued by Honda, supporting and extending prior research on this celestial-automotive nexus. The substantial correlation coefficient and statistically significant p-value underscore the robustness of this cosmic connection. It appears that the extraterrestrial and the terrestrial are indeed intertwined in unexpected ways, akin to a statistically significant cosmic dance.
Our results align with the work of Smith et al., who highlighted the prevalence of UFO encounters across different states. By placing a terrestrial lens on interstellar phenomena, our research offers an unexpected twist in revealing the potential impact of these encounters on automotive manufacturing. This unearthly influence on earthly affairs is reminiscent of a "cosmic recall," where cosmic forces influence the material world in mysterious ways.
Similarly, the insights from Doe and Jones' historical perspective on automotive recalls find resonance in our findings. The statistically significant correlation between UFO sightings and automotive recalls points to a connection that defies conventional explanations, much like a recall that defies earthly logic. The interplay of the cosmic and the terrestrial in shaping automotive recalls unfolds like a cosmic comedy, where the universe takes the wheel in steering our statistical inferences.
Extraterrestrial tampering with Honda's manufacturing processes may not be as far-fetched as it seems. As our study echoes the sentiments of Leslie Kean's compendium of UFO accounts, the statistical analyses linking UFO sightings to automotive recalls provide a quantifiable foundation for pondering the interstellar-influences hypotheses. It's almost as if the statistical cosmos has orchestrated this endeavor, leading us to uncover correlations that are truly "out of this world."
Moreover, our results invite contemplation of the unforeseen connections between celestial and terrestrial occurrences. The cosmic ambiance evoked by the correlations hints at a larger interstellar phenomena influencing events on Earth, not unlike the alliances and conflicts in the "Cosmic Encounter" board game. The statistical kinship between UFO sightings and automotive recalls is akin to an enigmatic puzzle, where each data point represents a cosmic whisper guiding the fate of automotive events.
As we unravel this celestial-automotive entanglement, it is essential to maintain a sense of scientific curiosity and humor, just like encountering unexpected statistical anomalies. Our research provides a roadmap for future explorations into the intersection of extraterrestrial phenomena and terrestrial events, while reminding us that statistical analysis holds the potential for uncovering cosmic humor in the most unexpected places. Just like a good dad joke, the universe continues to surprise us with statistical anomalies that are truly "out of this world."

The Cosmic Recall: Unveiling the Interstellar Connection Between UFO Sightings in Delaware and Honda Automotive Recalls
[[ABSTRACT]]
This research investigates the intriguing relationship between the obscure world of UFO sightings in Delaware and the earthly realm of Honda automotive recalls. By analyzing data from the National UFO Reporting Center and the US Department of Transportation, we uncovered a surprisingly high correlation coefficient of 0.7551528 and a p-value of less than 0.01 for the time period spanning from 1976 to 2021.
Drawing from this data, our findings reveal a substantial connection between the frequency of reported UFO sightings in Delaware and the occurrences of automotive recalls issued by Honda. This correlation persists over decades, raising eyebrows as to whether extraterrestrial activity could somehow be impacting the stability of Honda vehicles.
Our study leaves much to ponder, prompting the question: Are extraterrestrial beings not only observing us, but also influencing Honda's manufacturing processes from light-years away? As William Shakespeare once 'Honda'ly said, "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their Honda max weight capacities."
[[INTRDUCTION]]
The cosmic enigma of UFO sightings has fascinated and perplexed humanity for decades, with people eagerly seeking evidence of visitors from outer space. In a similar vein, the recall of automotive vehicles has been a terrestrial concern, with manufacturers striving to ensure the safety and reliability of their products. It is in this juxtaposition of the extraterrestrial and the automobile that we find the inspiration for our research, delving into the tantalizing question: Could there be a celestial force at play in the realm of automotive recalls?
As we embark on this otherworldly journey of investigation, we must first acknowledge the skepticism and raised eyebrows that often accompany discussions of UFOs and statistical correlations. Nevertheless, it is our firm belief that scientific inquiry should not be limited by terrestrial boundaries but should extend to the far reaches of the cosmos. After all, as every good scientist knows, curiosity is the driving force of exploration, whether it be of distant galaxies or perplexing statistical anomalies.
The alignment of UFO sightings and automotive recalls may appear as improbable as a UFO sighting itself, prompting us to carefully consider the evidence and statistical analyses. As we navigate the sea of data, let us approach this investigation with open minds and an abundance of caution, much like a driver navigating a winding road on a foggy night. After all, we must be ever-mindful of potential statistical red herrings or, in this case, red-planet holographic projections.
In the words of the wise statistical theorist, Yoda Yodasen, "Correlations strong, these findings are. But causation, prove them we must." With this sage advice in mind, we shall traverse the celestial and automotive landscapes, seeking to unveil the hidden threads connecting UFO sightings in Delaware and Honda automotive recalls. And perhaps, in the process, we will shed light on one of the universe's most confounding mysteries, much like a trusty headlight illuminating the darkest of statistical alleys.

[[CONCLUSION]]
In conclusion, our study has unveiled a compelling connection between the otherworldly realm of UFO sightings in Delaware and the earthly domain of Honda automotive recalls. The correlation coefficient of 0.7551528 has provided statistical evidence that these two phenomena are intertwined in a manner that can't simply be brushed off as a statistical fluke. It's as if statistical anomalies and extraterrestrial activities are engaging in a cosmic game of "Dad Jokester the clown," leaving us befuddled and bemused by their unexpected correlation.
The r-squared value of 0.5702557 indicates that over half of the variation in automotive recalls can be attributed to the whims and fancies of UFO sightings. It's almost as if there's a statistical tug-of-war between the celestial and the automotive, with Honda vehicles caught in the middle, much like a cosmic game of "tug-of-data."
Furthermore, the p-value of less than 0.01 supports the idea that this correlation is not just a statistical hiccup, but a genuine and perhaps, cosmic connection. It's as if the universe is playing a statistical prank on us, leaving us with a statistically significant "gotcha" moment.
Based on these findings, it seems that there's a statistical ebb and flow between UFO sightings and automotive recalls, almost as if the extraterrestrial beings are "driving" the recall patterns of Honda vehicles from light-years away. This correlation presents us with a pun-tastic scenario where one might ask if Honda is not just concerned with "CR-V" ratings, but also cosmic ratings!
It is clear from our study that no more research is needed in this area, as we have undoubtedly shed light on the cosmic conundrum of UFO sightings and Honda automotive recalls. As we leave this investigation, we're reminded of the immortal words of scientists everywhere: "May the F=ma be with you."

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.5702557 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 57% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Automotive recalls issued by Honda) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., UFO sightings in Delaware) over the 46 years from 1976 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-9. 0.0000000013288553672153663000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.76 in 1.3E-7% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 752,527,344 random variables You don't actually need 752 million variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 45 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 45 because we have two variables measured over a period of 46 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.6, 0.86 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,213 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 635,695,369 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is. - Outlandish outliers: There are "outliers" in this data.
In concept, "outlier" just means "way different than the rest of your dataset." When calculating a correlation like this, they are particularly impactful because a single outlier can substantially increase your correlation.
For the purposes of this project, I counted a point as an outlier if it the residual was two standard deviations from the mean.
(This bullet point only shows up in the details page on charts that do, in fact, have outliers.)
They stand out on the scatterplot above: notice the dots that are far away from any other dots. I intentionally mishandeled outliers, which makes the correlation look extra strong.
