2015 French study (p~0.00013) and a US county-level study report nuclear-presence/UAP association; bias-confounded.
A 2015 French economics study reported a statistically strong link between nuclear activity and unexplained UFO reports; a US county-level study found nuclear-facility presence associated with higher sighting and close-encounter rates, stronger in low-population counties. Proponents cite these as measured signal. Skeptics note the inputs are reports, so the correlation may quantify reporting/collection bias rather than refute it.
