UFO sightings in 1950 jumped from only 10 *U* listings for all of February, to 100 in March, the first real wave that came early in the year. The total for all of 1950 ( 338 ) is only two thirds that for 1947 (569).The white curve is a running average of sightings per day. The busiest days were April 9, March 17 and 29 with 9, 7 and 7 events respectively.
As in 1947, North America has the most listings (252), with 46 in Europe and 10 in South America. Sightings were evenly if thinly spread across the contiguous 48 states, and for once Central Mexico joined in.
Like 1947, this wave fell between major meteor showers.
