Did anyone else notice the missing time phenomenon happens more often during certain moon phases?

Been tracking this for years actually and yes, there does seem to be a pattern. From what I've logged in my own case files, new moon and full moon both seem to produce upticks in missing time reports but for different reasons possibly. Full moon cases tend to involve more witnesses, new moon cases tend to be solo and the experiencers are often more confused about what happened.

I've got maybe 40 documented cases I've collected over the past decade or so and when I plotted them against a lunar calendar the correlation wasn't perfect but it was noticeable enough that I couldn't dismiss it. Someone else here done the same thing? Would be interesting to compare data properly rather than just trading anecdotes.

The cynics will say people are just more likely to be outside during a full moon so obviously you get more sightings. That's fair up to a point but it doesn't explain the new moon clustering at all. Has anyone noticed whether the duration of the missing time varies between phases too? That's the bit I cant figure out.

@OtherworldlyOxfordshire this is really interesting to me because living in Point Pleasant I've had a few strange experiences over the years and when I went back through my old journals trying to piece things together, a lot of the really unsettling nights did seem to cluster around full moon periods. I always assumed that was just coincidence or maybe I was outside more at night when its bright enough to see without a torch. But if you're seeing the same pattern across multiple case files thats worth paying attention to. Have you noticed whether the new moon cases tend to involve different types of accounts compared to full moon ones? Like are people describing different kinds of experiences, different entities mentioned etc. That kind of breakdown would help rule out whether this is just a reporting bias thing where people are more likely to be outdoors and notice something unusual on brighter nights.
