Does the parallel reveal a more bizarre history than other locations? The map seems to change depending on the amount earth curvature goes into the map. Some show a line at the Kansas-Nebraska border while others show the same line at the Kanas and Oklahoma borders. Bad geography or something else?
Landmarks on the 37th parallel include --
Colorado City, Arizona; the Four Corners at the intersection with the 32nd meridian west from Washington (the only place where four U.S. states meet at a point);
Cairo, Illinois;
Bowling Green, Kentucky; and
Newport News, and Hampton, Virginia. It enters the Chesapeake Bay at the northernmost tunnel entrance / exit of the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel and the southernmost point of Old Point Comfort on the former Army base, Ft. Monroe.
The question may be: is there a less US-centric way of looking at the issue? Based on all US cases they appear to occur within the 40-30 parallel range. This seems to reflect cases from Asia and Europe as well.
Where would the South America, African, and Australian cases fall? Would a similar grouping be found there? What might those results indicate? What could be learned from looking at it globally?
In the 1950s and 1960s reports of UFOs they tended to be seen them moving NW to SE or the reverse. SW to the NE was another frequent route. Were they using a circumpolar path? Are there similar trends in other nations that might add to this information and provided some additional clues?
