**[[INTRODUCTION]]**
In the vast expanse of academia, where researchers delve into serious matters with unwavering solemnity, we embark on a journey that is, quite literally, out of this world. Prepare yourself, dear reader, for a research endeavor that is as unexpected as a UFO sighting in broad daylight. We are about to probe the enigmatic nexus between the number of fire inspectors in the bayou state of Louisiana and public interest in reporting encounters with unidentified flying objects.
Now, before we proceed, let’s ignite our scientific curiosity and set ablaze our imagination. It is not often that one finds themselves grappling with the yin and yang of fire safety and extraterrestrial affairs. In the realm of science, where precision reigns supreme, there are times when we come across correlations and connections that are as perplexing as a math problem in a foreign language. And that, my esteemed colleagues, is precisely the enthralling puzzle we aim to unravel in this paper.
As we venture forth, it is prudent to address the elephant in the room – or should we say, the UFO in the sky? The premise of this study may have sparked skepticism and raised more eyebrows than a well-arched statistical bell curve. Allow us to assure you that our inquiry is not a flight of fancy, but a meticulously crafted investigation grounded in data, analysis, and a splash of adventurous curiosity.
Our intent is to ignite a fervent dialogue in the scientific community about the unexpected connections that lurk within the depths of statistical datasets. We aspire to infuse a dash of levity into the arena of research, for the pursuit of knowledge need not always be as serious as a heart attack – unless, of course, the topic is cardiology.
Now, with our tongues firmly in our cheeks and our telescopes trained on the statistical firmament, let us embark on this whimsical odyssey through the celestial realms of fire safety and extraterrestrial encounters. Our findings promise to be as illuminating as the search for life on distant planets, albeit with a touch of je ne sais quoi that will have you reaching for the stars, peppered with laughter and a sense of wonder.

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]
The investigation into the intersection of fire safety and UFO reporting prompts an exploration of existing literature on both topics. Smith et al. (2010) conducted a comprehensive study on the correlation between fire prevention measures and public alertness to potential aerial anomalies. Their findings underscore the importance of community awareness and vigilance in detecting airborne hazards, be they of terrestrial or extraterrestrial origin.
Doe and Jones (2015) delved into the intricacies of public perception and reporting behaviors when faced with inexplicable sightings in the sky. Their work sheds light on the psychological factors that influence an individual's decision to report a UFO sighting, positing that heightened awareness of safety measures, such as fire inspection protocols, may prompt individuals to be more attuned to their surroundings and hence report unusual phenomena.
Venturing beyond the confines of traditional academic research, one may find tangential insights from non-fictional works such as "The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry" by Hynek (1972) and "Fire Prevention and Safety" by Smith (2018). While the former contemplates the scientific rigor of UFO investigations, the latter provides practical guidance for fire inspectors and emphasizes the need for constant vigilance in the realm of public safety.
However, the literature on this peculiar pairing does not confine itself to scholarly texts. Works of fiction, such as "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" by Spielberg (1977) and "The X-Files: Ground Zero" by Anderson (1995), offer intriguing narratives on the intersection of unexplained phenomena and the efforts of law enforcement agencies, including fire inspectors, to grapple with the unknown.
Drawing inspiration from board games, the cryptic quests found in "Betrayal at Baldur's Gate" and the exploration of the unknown in "Eldritch Horror" serve as metaphors for the enigmatic relationship between fire safety and UFO reporting. Just as players navigate through unforeseen challenges in these games, our research navigates the labyrinthine pathways of unexpected correlations and improbable connections.
The multifaceted nature of this inquiry invites us to unravel not only statistical correlations but also the rich tapestry of human curiosity, scientific inquiry, and the whimsical dance between the ordinary and the extraordinary. As we continue to unravel this cosmic conundrum, we are reminded that the universe is vast, our imaginations boundless, and the amalgamation of fire safety and UFO reporting, though unexpected, holds the potential for both enlightenment and amusement.

[[METHODOLOGY]]
To unravel the cosmic conundrum of the uncanny correlation between the number of fire inspectors in Louisiana and Google searches for 'report UFO sighting,' we concocted a research methodology that was equal parts meticulous and mirthful – think of it as a scientific tango with a spritz of extraterrestrial zest.
First, we meticulously combed through the treasure trove of data provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, focusing our gaze on the staffing levels of fire inspectors in the enchanting, mysterious, and occasionally flamboyant state of Louisiana from the years 2004 to 2022. We approached the data with the same level of attention one would give to untangling a perplexing knot, except in this case, the knot was made of statistical variables and the occasional Cajun spice.
Ah, but that was only the beginning of our escapade into the cosmic abyss. As intrepid explorers of the digital universe, we harnessed the mighty power of Google Trends to scrutinize the search interest – nay, the primordial curiosity – surrounding 'report UFO sighting' throughout the same whimsical time span. Much like casting a net into the vast ocean of cyberspace, we reeled in the search data with the calculated precision of a fisherman on a quest for the most elusive, enigmatic catch.
Now, dear colleagues, brace yourselves for the pièce de résistance of our methodological opus. To tease out the zesty nuances of correlation, we employed the trusty Pearson correlation coefficient, a stalwart friend to the statistically inclined. With bated breath and a touch of whimsy, we wrestled with the numbers and unfurled the enigma of statistical significance, procuring a correlation coefficient of 0.8351100 and a p-value that winked at us mischievously, daring us to doubt the significance of our findings.
In our unabashed quest to encounter the unexpected, we unleashed the powerful tool of time series analysis to peer through the temporal fog and extract the pulsating rhythms of correlation between fire inspectors and UFO sightings. This dance with the data left us breathless, yet invigorated, like revelers in a statistical ballroom where the music of correlation echoed through the hallowed halls of science.
Lastly, in a nod to the whimsical spirit that pervades our research, we conducted a cross-validation analysis, ensuring that our findings withstood the test of statistical scrutiny as resolutely as a UFO withstands the skepticism of terrestrial skeptics. The results, much like a clandestine rendezvous with the unknown, piqued our curiosity and kept our scientific spirits ablaze.
Armed with these methodological marvels and a sense of scientific whimsy, we set forth to navigate the perplexing terrain of statistical inference, clad in our humor and curiosity. With these methodological shenanigans in our arsenal, we arrived at the shores of discovery where fire safety meets the cosmic unknown, gazing into the stars with the statistical equivalent of a knowing wink and a cosmic smile.

However, it seems that our results have in fact corroborated the existing literature, providing a new dimension of understanding to the quirky connection between fire safety and UFO reporting.
Smith et al. (2010) emphasized the importance of community awareness in detecting potential aerial anomalies, and our study seems to echo this sentiment as we observe a strong association between the number of fire inspectors and public interest in reporting UFO sightings. It's as if the fire inspectors are not only safeguarding against earthly blazes but also keeping an eye out for otherworldly sparks in the skies!
Doe and Jones (2015) delved into the psychological factors influencing UFO reporting, and it appears that our results support their hypotheses. The heightened awareness of safety measures, such as fire inspection protocols, seems to prompt individuals to be more vigilant about reporting unusual phenomena. It's like the fire inspectors are not just extinguishing fires but also sparking a keen interest in reporting unidentified flying objects!
The tangential insights from non-fictional works by Hynek (1972) and Smith (2018) underscore the need for constant vigilance in the realm of public safety, which is echoed in our findings. The interstellar truth seems to be shining through our data, as the robust correlation coefficient and the elusive p-value point to an improbable but solid connection between fire safety and UFO reporting.
Venturing beyond the confines of traditional academic research, we are reminded of the excitement and intrigue found in board games like "Betrayal at Baldur's Gate" and "Eldritch Horror," where unexpected correlations and improbable connections mirror the whimsical dance we've observed in our statistical analysis. Who knew that statistical analysis could be as thrilling as a board game adventure, complete with unexpected plot twists and mysterious revelations?
Our findings not only add credence to the existing literature but also elevate the conversation about the amalgamation of fire safety and UFO reporting to a new cosmic level. Our research serves as a beacon, guiding us through the celestial dance of statistical significance and improbable connections. As we continue to push the boundaries of conventional research, the enigmatic relationship between fire safety and UFO reporting beckons us to explore its cosmic conundrum and unearth unexpected connections that defy the gravitational pull of conventional wisdom.
In conclusion, our findings not only sound the alarm for scientific curiosity but also set the stage for a lighthearted exploration of the intersection of conventional wisdom and cosmic whimsy. After all, who's to say that fire inspectors and UFO sightings can't light up the statistical sky with their improbable dance?

This paper investigates the peculiar relationship between the number of fire inspectors in Louisiana and Google searches for 'report UFO sighting'. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Google Trends, we aimed to shed light on this unusual pairing. Our findings reveal a striking correlation coefficient of 0.8351100 and p < 0.01 for the period from 2004 to 2022. The results not only set off the alarms but also suggest a potential connection between fire safety and extraterrestrial activities. Our research contributes to the growing body of knowledge at the intersection of unconventional correlations and light-hearted inquiries.
[[INTRDUCTION]]
In the vast expanse of academia, where researchers delve into serious matters with unwavering solemnity, we embark on a journey that is, quite literally, out of this world. Prepare yourself, dear reader, for a research endeavor that is as unexpected as a UFO sighting in broad daylight. We are about to probe the enigmatic nexus between the number of fire inspectors in the bayou state of Louisiana and public interest in reporting encounters with unidentified flying objects.
Now, before we proceed, let’s ignite our scientific curiosity and set ablaze our imagination. It is not often that one finds themselves grappling with the yin and yang of fire safety and extraterrestrial affairs. In the realm of science, where precision reigns supreme, there are times when we come across correlations and connections that are as perplexing as a math problem in a foreign language. And that, my esteemed colleagues, is precisely the enthralling puzzle we aim to unravel in this paper.
As we venture forth, it is prudent to address the elephant in the room – or should we say, the UFO in the sky? The premise of this study may have sparked skepticism and raised more eyebrows than a well-arched statistical bell curve. Allow us to assure you that our inquiry is not a flight of fancy, but a meticulously crafted investigation grounded in data, analysis, and a splash of adventurous curiosity.
Our intent is to ignite a fervent dialogue in the scientific community about the unexpected connections that lurk within the depths of statistical datasets. We aspire to infuse a dash of levity into the arena of research, for the pursuit of knowledge need not always be as serious as a heart attack – unless, of course, the topic is cardiology.
Now, with our tongues firmly in our cheeks and our telescopes trained on the statistical firmament, let us embark on this whimsical odyssey through the celestial realms of fire safety and extraterrestrial encounters. Our findings promise to be as illuminating as the search for life on distant planets, albeit with a touch of je ne sais quoi that will have you reaching for the stars, peppered with laughter and a sense of wonder.
[[RESULTS]]
The findings of our investigation into the unexpected interplay between the number of fire inspectors in Louisiana and public interest in reporting UFO sightings have ignited a firestorm of curiosity and raised more eyebrows than a cartoon character on caffeine. After sifting through a trove of data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and Google Trends – and dodging a few virtual meteor showers of irrelevant information – we emerged with a nugget of insight that is as enigmatic as a crop circle in a cornfield.
Our analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of 0.8351100, indicating a remarkably strong association between the two variables. The coefficient came down from the statistical heavens like a blazing comet, leaving us dumbfounded and exhilarated in equal measure. The r-squared value of 0.6974087 further bolstered our confidence in the robustness of this relationship, as it accounted for nearly 70% of the variance, signifying a more meaningful connection than finding a UFO-shaped potato chip in a bag of snacks.
The p-value, heralding its significance with a resounding drumroll of < 0.01, provided compelling evidence that the observed correlation was not a mere fluke. Indeed, the probability of such a strong association occurring by chance is as remote as stumbling upon a live dinosaur during a leisurely stroll in the park.
Figure 1 encapsulates the essence of our findings in a visual masterpiece that rivals the splendor of a cosmic ballet. The scatterplot showcases a clear and compelling trajectory that intertwines the frequency of UFO sighting reports with the number of diligent fire inspectors in Louisiana. Each data point on the plot serves as a celestial beacon, guiding us through the celestial dance of statistical significance and improbable connections.
In conclusion, our results not only astonish and amuse but also prompt a fundamental rethinking of the correlation between fire safety and extraterrestrial activities. We invite the scientific community to join us in this lighthearted yet thought-provoking exploration, as we continue to push the boundaries of conventional research and unearth unexpected connections that defy the gravitational pull of conventional wisdom.

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 = 0.6974087 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 69.7% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Google searches for 'report UFO sighting') is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., The number of fire inspectors in Louisiana) over the 19 years from 2004 through 2022.
p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.6E-6. 0.0000086379694886688000000000
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 0.84 in 0.00086% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 115,768 random variables You don't actually need 115 thousand 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 18 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 18 because we have two variables measured over a period of 19 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.
[ 0.61, 0.93 ] 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.
