# Nuclear UAP Evidence Surface

This Space is a simple public viewer for a reduced, hashed analytical dataset about one specific question:

**Do public UFO/UAP report rows cluster around nuclear power plants after ordinary controls?**

## Headline Finding

The current evidence surface does **not** support a nuclear-specific proximity signal. In the primary 50-mile comparison, nuclear power-plant sites had a lower mean public-report count than matched non-nuclear power-plant controls.

- Public geocoded report rows: `105250`
- Nuclear sites: `57`
- Matched non-nuclear controls: `285`
- 50-mile nuclear/control mean ratio: `0.851823`
- One-sided p-value for nuclear greater than controls: `0.854146`

## What This Is

- A public-source, reproducible evidence surface.
- A reduced export with date/place/shape/geocode/proximity features, hashes, and receipts.
- A way to inspect population, airport, and nuclear-site proximity factors without relying on anecdote.

## What This Is Not

- Not proof that any witness saw or did not see anything unusual.
- Not a bot, propaganda, or intent detector.
- Not a claim that aircraft explain every report.
- Not a claim about classified military or weapons-site activity.
- Not exact sighting GPS; report rows are geocoded to public Census place centroids.

## Additional Findings

- Events matched to Census population rows: `105086` of `105250`.
- Place-level log(population) vs log(report count) correlation: `0.641288`.
- Median event-place distance to a major scheduled airport: `13.277` miles.
- Population-weighted median Census-place distance to a major scheduled airport: `10.764` miles.
- Missing geocode rows: `17783` of `123013` U.S. rows.
