Where are all the Major Events?

Greetings. The modern history of the UFO phenomenon features some truly interesting and thought-provoking events. That fact is beyond dispute. 

The Foo Fighters. The Ghost Rockets. Roswell. The Washington Nationals. Socorro. Exeter. Dexter/Hillsdale. The Phoenix Lights. Stephenville. There are many, many more unexplained occurrences that are deserving of mention here, but the totality of the situation is not the focus of this blog posting, a possible change is.

As more recent decades have passed, it seems that the regularity of major UFO events has gradually fallen off for some reason. Taking a cursory look at this century, we have only a few robust events of note. The Chicago O'Hare event from November of 2006 and the Stephenville, Texas events from January of 2008. Not a long list, not at all. Now there certainly have been other reported events of some note that remain unexplained, but very few that feature multiple independent witnesses spread out over a wide geographical area. Very few indeed.

Why is this so? Unknown. Now, before proceeding any further, it must be made plainly clear that my own thoughts on the matter may be completely off base, and without merit. The amount of anecdotal information we have at our disposal comes courtesy of the many witnesses that made the effort to report their events, but that cashe of raw data is incomplete, with the majority of alleged witnesses not bothering to take the time to file a UFO sighting report. That logically means that there may not have been a drop-off in anomalous activity, just a drop-off in reported anomalous activity. That also makes any and all firm conclusions drawn from the available data likely incorrect, possibly inaccurate, or at the very least, completely indefensible. 

If in fact, anomalous activity has decreased in recent decades, a question demands asking: Why has anomalous, potentially extraterrestrial activity become less commonplace nowadays? That particular inquiry will be added to the monumental stack of unanswered questions about the UFO problem. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
