New study introduces an innovative measure of public attention based on reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), demonstrating a surprising link between these sightings and economic conditions at multiple levels across the United States. This unconventional approach shows that UAP sightings, correlated with traditional attention metrics, offer a unique lens to analyze public focus, which fluctuates with economic cycles. The findings are significant because they reveal a new way to study macroeconomic behavior and inform policy, particularly in managing regional economic responses and addressing variations in public attention during periods of economic uncertainty.

Moral appeals alone, like fairness or reducing harm to incarcerated individuals, rarely changed minds.
