AI explanation
As more Kentuckians reported seeing UFOs, it sparked an interest in renewable energy sources. These UFO enthusiasts were over the moon about the idea of biomass power, leading to a wave of support for the industry. This sudden surge in demand from Kentucky somehow created a tractor beam effect, pulling Austria into producing more biomass power to meet the needs of their new, otherworldly fanbase. It seems like the UFO sightings in Kentucky truly did 'crop circle' a new path for biomass power in Austria!Model: dalle-3
Prompt: Prompt: In a serene field in Kentucky, a small crowd of bewildered residents standing under a starlit night sky, their faces illuminated by the soft, surreal glow of an unidentified flying object hovering above them. In an Austrian town, a lively biomass power plant hums with activity, its smokestacks releasing pristine, white steam into the air. The stark contrast between the enigmatic UFO and the grounded, eco-friendly power plant creates a visual symbol of the unexpected connection between the two remarkable events.

The pursuit of seemingly incongruous links in the annals of scientific inquiry has long been a fascination for researchers. Smith et al. (2015) explored the intersection of anomalous aerial phenomena and renewable energy sources, shedding light on the potential ramifications for sustainable development. Building upon this foundation, Doe and Jones (2018) delved into the esoteric connections between inexplicable lights in the sky and alternative energy frameworks, laying the groundwork for our present investigation into UFO sightings in Kentucky and biomass power generation in Austria.
In "Alien Encounters and Alternative Energy: Exploring Otherworldly Influence" (Smith et al., 2015), the authors find compelling evidence linking unidentified flying objects to innovative approaches in renewable energy. Similarly, "UFOs and Green Energy: A Cosmic Connection" (Doe and Jones, 2018) presents intriguing correlations between unexplained aerial sightings and sustainable energy initiatives, setting the stage for our study.
Venturing further into the realm of literature, "The War of the Worlds" by H.G. Wells and "Childhood's End" by Arthur C. Clarke offer imaginative depictions of extraterrestrial encounters, albeit in fictional contexts. While these works may seem far removed from the scientific discourse at hand, they serve as a reminder of the enduring fascination with interstellar phenomena and its potential impact on Earthly matters.
In our pursuit of a lighthearted approach to this unusual correlation, the research team also drew inspiration from popular television shows such as "The X-Files" and "Ancient Aliens." While these programs may lean towards the speculative, they exemplify the enduring allure of enigmatic connections and the pursuit of the unexplained. It is in this spirit that we embark on our investigation, recognizing the interplay between scientific inquiry and the whimsical nature of the unknown.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
The methodology employed in this study amalgamates robust statistical analyses with a touch of whimsy, underscoring the multifaceted nature of our investigation. Our quest to unravel the cosmic enigma of the relationship between UFO sightings in Kentucky and biomass power generation in Austria began with the compilation of data from the National UFO Reporting Center and the Energy Information Administration. Given the divergence of these datasets in terms of subject matter and geographic scope, our approach involved intricate data manipulation and harmonization akin to performing a complex dance with extraterrestrial choreography.
To identify UFO sightings in Kentucky, we adapted a geographic filter resembling a celestial sieve, sifting through reports to isolate sightings specifically within the borders of the Bluegrass State. Notably, the presence of bourbon distilleries was coincidentally considered during this process, albeit not for scholarly reasons. The biomass power generation data from Austria was similarly filtered, with distinct consideration given to the picturesque landscapes and the musical legacy of the country, aspects that bear no formal relevance to our analysis but provided a comforting background ambiance.
Following data compilation, we tasked our research team to unleash an arsenal of analytical tools, deploying cross-correlation analyses, time series modeling, and multivariate regression techniques. This analytical circus was nothing short of a quantum juggling act, manipulating the strands of data with the precision of cosmic acrobats attempting to find equilibrium amidst the celestial bodies of UFO sightings and the biotic energy realm.
Moreover, the correlation between Kentucky UFO sightings and Austrian biomass energy production was not erroneously attributed to an illusory alignment of the constellations; rather, it was derived from meticulous statistical calculations that tread the fine line between the empirical and the ethereal. We also conducted a post-hoc sensitivity analysis to ensure that our findings remained robust under varying parameters, much like securing a UFO against turbulence during interstellar flights.
In consideration of the purportedly peculiar nature of our investigation, we sought to maintain scholarly rigor while allowing for moments of levity and speculative interludes. As we journeyed through the statistical cosmos, we embraced randomness with an air of intrigue, recognizing that scientific inquiry is as much about the unexpected as it is about the anticipated.
In conclusion, our methodology strived to blend academic precision with a sprinkle of cosmic humor, recognizing that the pursuit of knowledge does not always adhere to the rigid confines of orthodoxy. Our methodologies may elicit quizzical expressions or raise the occasional eyebrow, but it is with a nod to the improbable and the surreal that we invite the scholarly community to peer through the telescope into our findings.

[[INTRDUCTION]]
The search for correlations between seemingly unrelated phenomena has captivated the scientific community for centuries. From the peculiar link between sunspot activity and stock market performance to the bizarre association between chocolate consumption and Nobel Prize awards, researchers have always been drawn to uncovering the unexpected connections that underlie our world. In this vein, our study sets out to investigate the enigmatic relationship between UFO sightings in the state of Kentucky and the production of biomass energy in the idyllic landscapes of Austria.
At first glance, one might quip that our research is truly "out of this world," but delving deeper, we have approached this investigation with utmost academic rigor. The National UFO Reporting Center boasts an extensive database, allowing us to analyze the temporal and geographic distribution of UFO sightings in Kentucky. Meanwhile, data from the Energy Information Administration offers comprehensive insight into the evolution of biomass power generation in Austria. Through meticulous statistical analysis spanning over four decades, our research has brought to light unexpected patterns that warrant examination and contemplation.
While the notion of extraterrestrial visitations influencing renewable energy sources may raise more than a few skeptical eyebrows, our findings compels us to explore this unorthodox notion with both scientific curiosity and wry amusement. Is it possible that beings from beyond have taken an interest in Austria's innovative approach to sustainable energy? Can Kentucky's wide-open skies be a beacon for otherworldly travelers seeking to observe renewable energy practices? While we speculate with a twinkle in our eyes, our research does not lend itself to flights of fancy; rather, it steers the conversation toward the unusual and the unexplained – a frontier where the curious and the whimsical converge.
In the pages that follow, we will navigate through the statistical intricacies and the historical nuances of our findings. To do so with solemn expressions and stiff language seems contrary to the essence of our subject matter; hence, we invite the reader to embark on this academic journey with a dash of mirth and a sprinkle of skepticism. We bid you to take a seat on this intellectual UFO – Unconventional Findings Odyssey – and venture forth with us into the outer reaches of improbable correlations. As we traverse the terrain of UFO sightings and biomass energy, we encourage a cerebral sense of wonder and a nod to the humor that must inevitably accompany such an endeavor.

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 = 0.8161503 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 81.6% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Biomass power generated in Austria) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., UFO sightings in Kentucky) over the 42 years from 1980 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 2.7E-16. 0.0000000000000002687017668186
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 0.9 in 2.7E-14% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 3,721,598,156,349,668 random variables You don't actually need 3 quadrillion 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 41 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 41 because we have two variables measured over a period of 42 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.
[ 0.83, 0.95 ] 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 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 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.
