Interesting question for the skywatchers: has anyone noticed increased UAP activity around the summer solstice (June 20-21)? I've been going through historical UAP reports for the past 40 years and there seems to be a minor but consistent uptick in June, particularly around the solstice date. Nothing dramatic, but enough to be statistically interesting.
Theory-crafting here: the summer solstice represents maximum daylight hours in the Northern Hemisphere. If you were an intelligence-gathering operation (conventional or otherwise), you might use the longer daylight to conduct observations with less chance of being noticed at night. Alternatively, if there's something astronomical about the solstice that matters (planetary alignment, electromagnetic activity, whatever), entities interested in Earth might be more active.
Obviously this is speculative, but I'm keen to organize a coordinated monitoring effort for June 2025. Anyone interested in running skywatching observations on solstice night and comparing notes? Would need observers across multiple UK locations for proper coverage.
