In his 1970 book Operation Trojan Horse, John Keel discusses how sightings (in this case of UFOs) were distributed on different days of the week. Allegedly drawing from over 10,000 “clippings and reports” Keel comes up with the following.
“Wednesday had the greatest number of sightings, and these were usually reported between the hours of 8 to 11 P.M.
Of the sampling used, .5 percent were not dated.” - Pg. 16, 17
He then goes on to say that this Wednesday phenomenon goes back to the Mystery Airships era and even into ancient times as evidenced by how in Hebrew mythology Wednesday is considered a time when demonic powers were especially active.
Keel’s thoughts are that these days are somewhat counterintuitive since one would expect more sightings on Friday and Saturday evenings when more people are out and about.
Has anyone seen similar analyses? Did they correlate with John Keel’s data? More generally, what are people’s thoughts on certain days being more apt to have paranormal phenomena occur? Going further with the idea of temporal patterns, does anyone know of seasonal and/or longer timeframe patterns?
