[[INTRODUCTION]]
Amidst the myriad puzzling conundrums of the modern world, the improbable connection between human nomenclature and extraterrestrial encounters has emerged as a perplexing enigma. While some may dismiss such peculiar correlations as mere statistical anomalies, our intrepid research team endeavors to unravel the cosmic yarn woven between the popularity of the first name "Annabelle" and purported UFO sightings in the enigmatic expanses of Alaska.
In the annals of etymology, the name "Annabelle" exudes an air of whimsy and understated charm, evoking pastoral idylls and perhaps the occasional nursery rhyme. Yet, beneath the veneer of quaintness lies the potential for profound revelations. Much like the roots of a stately oak tree, the semantic lineage of "Annabelle" extends deep into human history, intertwining with cultural trends and societal shifts.
On the other end of the cosmic spectrum, the Alaskan wilderness beckons with its rugged allure and untamed mystery, invoking visions of aurora-lit skies and elusive denizens of the night. It is within this ethereal backdrop that reports of unconventional aerial phenomena, often attributed to unidentified flying objects, have punctuated the starry tapestry of the Last Frontier.
Thus, the collision of these disparate realms—namely, the endearing moniker "Annabelle" and the enigmatic spectacle of UFO sightings in Alaska—necessitates a closer scrutiny, a probing inquiry that seeks to navigate the celestial dance between statistical probabilities and the serendipitous whims of the cosmos. Our foray into this thought-provoking nexus is not merely an academic exercise; it embodies an embrace of the delightful and the incongruous, a recognition that the universe occasionally unfolds its mysteries through unexpected avenues.
In the pages that follow, we invite the reader to accompany us on a venture, not merely of rigorous statistical analysis, but of lighthearted contemplation and speculative wonder. Our investigation into the "Annabelle-Alien Paradox" ventures beyond the confines of traditional disciplinary boundaries, propelling us into an interdisciplinary odyssey that straddles the realms of etymology, ufology, and the intriguing interplay of human predilections and celestial intrigue.
Therefore, as we embark upon this journey of intellectual curiosity and offbeat fascination, let us approach our inquiry with a blend of methodical rigor and, dare we say, a touch of cosmic whimsy. After all, in the cosmic theater of the universe, where "Annabelle" and aliens gracefully waltz across the stage, the conventional must gracefully yield to the beguiling and the extraordinary.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
Previous scholarly inquiries have delved into the realm of human naming patterns, space phenomena, and the intersection thereof. Smith (2005) laid the groundwork for the exploration of esoteric name correlations by examining the relationship between the popularity of the name "Alexander" and sightings of asteroid occurrences. Doe (2010) expanded this domain of scrutiny by probing the prevalence of the name "Luna" and its potential link to lunar phases and celestial events. Jones (2017) further enriched this discourse with an investigation into the connection between the name "Orion" and stargazing preferences in urban environments.
Amidst these earnest attempts at academic investigation, our own research stands as a whimsical foray into uncharted terrain, providing an offbeat twist to the stately procession of scholarly endeavors. As we navigate the corridors of human nomenclature and the cosmic dance of extraterrestrial encounters, we find ourselves drawn to a wider array of sources, both factual and imaginative, that encapsulate the multi-layered tapestry of our research subject.
Turning to non-fiction literature, "The UFO Encyclopedia" by Jerome Clark offers a compendium of reported UFO encounters, providing an encyclopedic array of narratives that loosely intertwine with our own findings. Aside from the factual accounts, "Annabelle's Adventures in Alaska" by Carol Johnson piques our curiosity, although it must be mentioned that it relates more to a whimsical travelogue than rigorous academic insights.
On a more whimsical note, works of fiction such as "Annabelle of the Alien Patrol" by Peter David and "UFOs and Unicorns" by Samantha Silverbeam embody the fusion of fantastical extraterrestrial narratives with the charming allure of whimsical nomenclature. These literary diversions, while veering further into the realms of fantasy and creative conjecture, nevertheless echo the thematic undercurrents of our own odyssey: a lighthearted dalliance with the perplexing juncture of human appellations and cosmic esoterica.
Expanding beyond the literary realm, cinematic narratives such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and "Paul" (2011) offer cinematic sagas that intertwine the uncanny allure of extraterrestrial encounters with elements of humor and offbeat charm. While these cinematic capers sway closer to the whimsical side of our interdisciplinary inquiry, they nevertheless infuse our academic pursuits with a dash of cosmic levity and playful speculation.

For this study, a whimsical yet rigorous approach was employed to ascertain the extent of the correlation between the frequency of the first name "Annabelle" and reported UFO sightings in the elusive terrain of Alaska. Leveraging data from the US Social Security Administration (SSA) and the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), our research team adopted a hybrid research methodology that mirrored the enigmatic nature of our investigation.
Firstly, the US Social Security Administration's comprehensive database of baby names bestowed upon newborns was scoured to extract the historical popularity trends of the name "Annabelle" from 1975 to 2021. The methodology involved diving into the vast ocean of nomenclature, where the ebb and flow of appellations mirrored the rhythmic dance of the celestial spheres. The data was subsequently distilled to reveal temporal patterns and fluctuations in the prevalence of the endearing appellation, providing a nuanced glimpse into the cultural zeitgeist that enshrouded this whimsical name.
Simultaneously, the National UFO Reporting Center's repository of reported extraterrestrial sightings within the enigmatic expanses of Alaska was meticulously combed through, a task that one might liken to searching for proverbial needle-like spacecraft in a haystack-like wilderness. Amidst the rich tapestry of reported encounters, our intrepid researchers discerned patterns and clusters, striving to unveil any serendipitous synchronicities with the temporal flux of the name "Annabelle."
The statistical analyses were performed using sophisticated software such as SPSS and R, allowing for the exploration of correlation coefficients and significance levels while also fostering a whimsical dalliance with the esoteric dance of data points. A correlation analysis utilizing Pearson's coefficient was conducted, followed by a series of hypothesis tests to ascertain the cosmic significance of our findings. The obtained correlation coefficient of 0.8974037, coupled with a significance level of p < 0.01, not only lent palpable weight to our observations but also elicited a wry sense of cosmic irony, reminiscent of a celestial jest on a galactic scale.
Additionally, geographical mapping tools were utilized to visualize the geographical distribution of UFO sightings in Alaska, creating ethereal cartographic tapestries that mirrored the cape-like expanses of the aurora-lit skies. This spatial analysis not only infused a sense of wonder into our exploration but also provided compelling visual evidence of the spatial correspondences between reported sightings and the ethereal lullaby of the name "Annabelle."
In summary, our methodological approach married the whimsical and the rigorous, weaving a tapestry of statistical analyses and esoteric inquiries that dance between the limits of earthly convention and the curious allure of the cosmos. The resulting findings, as we shall disclose in subsequent sections, not only shed light on the "Annabelle-Alien Paradox" but also beckon us to contemplate the cosmic jigsaw puzzles that unfold amidst the celestial waltz of names and lights.

As we navigate the corridors of human nomenclature and the cosmic dance of extraterrestrial encounters, we find ourselves drawn to a wider array of sources, both factual and imaginative, that encapsulate the multi-layered tapestry of our research subject.
Turning to non-fiction literature, "The UFO Encyclopedia" by Jerome Clark offers a compendium of reported UFO encounters, providing an encyclopedic array of narratives that loosely intertwine with our own findings. Aside from the factual accounts, "Annabelle's Adventures in Alaska" by Carol Johnson piques our curiosity, although it must be mentioned that it relates more to a whimsical travelogue than rigorous academic insights.
On a more whimsical note, works of fiction such as "Annabelle of the Alien Patrol" by Peter David and "UFOs and Unicorns" by Samantha Silverbeam embody the fusion of fantastical extraterrestrial narratives with the charming allure of whimsical nomenclature. These literary diversions, while veering further into the realms of fantasy and creative conjecture, nevertheless echo the thematic undercurrents of our own odyssey: a lighthearted dalliance with the perplexing juncture of human appellations and cosmic esoterica.
Expanding beyond the literary realm, cinematic narratives such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977) and "Paul" (2011) offer cinematic sagas that intertwine the uncanny allure of extraterrestrial encounters with elements of humor and offbeat charm. While these cinematic capers sway closer to the whimsical side of our interdisciplinary inquiry, they nevertheless infuse our academic pursuits with a dash of cosmic levity and playful speculation.

Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.
r2 = 0.8053334 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 80.5% of the change in the one variable (i.e., UFO sightings in Alaska) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Popularity of the first name Annabelle) over the 47 years from 1975 through 2021.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 1.3E-17. 0.0000000000000000133900835726
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.
But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.
Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.9 in 1.3E-15% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 74,682,132,831,963,088 random variables You don't actually need 74 quadrillion variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.
p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.
In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.
Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 46 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 46 because we have two variables measured over a period of 47 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.
[ 0.82, 0.94 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.
This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!
All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.
Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works
- Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
- Lack of causal connection: There is probably
Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied. - Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple
Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
