Wayne LaTorte is a safety engineer who works for the U.S. Postal Service. For most of his life, Wayne has been fascinated by UFOs. He has kept records of UFO sightings in the desert areas of Arizona, California, and New Mexico over the past 15 years, and he has correlated them with earthquake tremors.
A fellow engineer suggests that Wayne use regression analysis as a means of determining the relationship. Wayne does this and finds a "constant" of 30 separate earth tremor events and a slope of 5 events per UFO sighting.
Wayne then writes an article for the UFO Observer, claiming that earthquakes are largely caused by the subsonic vibrations emitted by UFOs as they enter the Earth's atmosphere. What is your reaction to Wayne's article?
