UFO Sightings Map:
South America, Off-season.
UFO sightings here are limited to non-wave months for all years.
The excluded months are: June-July 1947; March-April 1950; June-Sept 1952;
Sept-Nov. 1954; November 1957; August 1965; March-April 1966; March 1967;
July-Sept 1968; Oct-Nov 1973.
"Wave months" are those with reports counts in three digits or so. Presumably, the remainder are less affected by media frenzy. This done, reports in the northern and western countries are more evident.
Chile was most affected by this exclusion, a drop of 22.5% from 89 events to only 69. Brazil saw a much smaller decrease, about 10.1%.
