The study was conducted by Antoni Wędzikowski, a Warsaw-based lawyer and independent researcher who analyzed 80,000 UFO reports from the nonprofit National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) and compared them with bathymetric data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Using publicly available UFO sighting data and detailed ocean depth maps, the report identified correlations between reported sightings and deep underwater terrain features.
The analysis also uncovered a striking geographical anomaly, with clustering patterns appearing on the West Coast but not on the East or Gulf coasts.
Three regions, La Jolla, Mugu Canyon, and Monterey Canyon, showed unusually high concentrations of sightings compared with population-based expectations.
The report suggested sightings could occur in temporal bursts rather than being evenly distributed over time.
While the findings stop short of proving any underwater origin, they add data-driven support to growing scientific interest in unexplained objects moving between air and sea.

>’First, the analysis did find a statistically significant spatial association between submarine canyon features and UAP report density along the US West Coast,’ he said.
>’These are not trivial numbers. The association also correctly predicted 4 out of 5 top hotspot cells.’
>’But the second surprise was equally important: the effect is absent on the East and Gulf Coasts. It is not a universal pattern. It concentrates in specific West Coast regions, primarily Puget Sound and the San Diego canyon system, and does not generalize across the full US coastline.’
>Each of the three major clusters of sightings was associated with deep underwater topography.
>In these areas, the number of sightings far exceeded what would be expected based on population distribution alone.
Again.. coming back to the 4 Chan leakers claims..
I lived in monterey CA for about 18 months and sadly never saw anything. I do think it would be a perfect spot for an underwater base. Extremely large underwater trench and a city that is cover in an almost daily fog.
