There are, of course, the famous "green meteors" of the US southwest from the
early period of UFO observations. Also, a case from 1959 in New Zealand
described the underside of the object as displaying two green lights in
"dents".

I believe you are referring to geographics rather than demographics.
Demographics is the study of the characteristics of populations (for instance,
UFO witnesses), while you seem to be interested in a study of the geographic
distribution of UFO reports.

There are a variety of different studies of the geographic components of
specific waves, but I am not aware of any comprehensive geographic study.

However, there are severe selection effects to be considered in validating
such a study:

	1) Knowledge of the existence of UFO phenomena as a separate
		category of experience
	2) Availability of UFO research groups
	3) Availability of modern communication and information storage systems
		(including archives, newspapers, and libraries)
	4) Geographic and meteorologic knowledge held by the indigenous
		population

	... etc.
