Dear Dr. Nelson:
I would be curious to know whether there were any anomalous EGG data
observed May 9, 2001. On that date, The Disclosure Project
(http://www.DisclosureProject.org) held a press conference at The
National
Press Club during which some two dozen high ranking government and
corporate
witnesses related testimony regarding their firsthand encounters with
positively-identified extraterrestrial spacecraft and ET beings, both
living
and dead. The live webcast of this event is said to have been the
most
widely viewed webcast in the history of the internet.
I responded that I don't often do custom analyses, but the pleasant
letter persuaded me to take a look in an exploratory mode. The
attached graph shows the results. It displays the usual
analysis for a two-hour period beginning at 2pm EST, the time he
recalled for the beginning of the press conference. The
trend is positive, but not significant, so we can't really
distinguish the result from normal chance fluctuation.
There is a strong trend for about half an hour beginning a
little after 2, but again, we could not claim this is a
response to the press conference unless we had made a prior
prediction that this period of time would show a departure
from expectation. From my perspective, it is an interesting
graph, but it is not possible to make evidentiary claims.
