This is to some extent supported by demographic studies, such as Hynek's UFO Evidence demographics which I profile at my (currently down due to a geocities problem) website under: http://www.geocities.com/~mcashman/uhyndem.htm In those statistics, one can see that youths, housewives and aviation personnel represent very close to half of all reporters in Hynek's book. As one crosses the strangeness categories to higher strangeness cases, this sample shows a decrease in technical personnel, and the aviators are nearly winnowed out by the time CE-II are reached, while housewives and the young alone represent nearly 50% of the reporters. These figures, I think represent fairly faithfully a number of things, one of which is that people who spend more time under the sky tend to report UFOs more often, and secondly that, as UFOs come within closer range, the demographics of UFO reporters approaches more closely the typical US demographic profile. ------ Mark Cashman, creator of The Temporal Doorway at http://www.geocities.com/~mcashman - Original digital art, writing, and UFO research - Author of SF novels available at... http://www.infohaus.com/access/by-seller/The_Temporal_Doorway_Storefront/ ------
