Bigfoot & Aliens, together at last!
In honor of tonight's (3/23/2012) special Ancient Aliens program, I've thrown together a little Tableau Viz comparing (on a wicked high level) UFO sightings versus Bigfoot sightings. Enlightening? You be the judge. UPDATE: I added video of the episode down below the viz. [box type="info"]It looks like if you live in California or Washington State - you are either very blessed with special being visits OR you've got the most crazy people in the whole friggin' country.[/box] Bigfoot data comes from here, and UFO data comes from the "National UFO Reporting Center" (and there was a sh*tload of it). All screen-scraped in true data-hoarder style. This is just for fun, hence the goofy monster heads. Enjoy! [box type="tick" style="rounded" border="full"]Why do I love this viz? Because upon looking at it, you know exactly what I'm talking about and what everything means. There is very little that needs to be explained. The end-user does not need to be "nudged" toward any particular control or interaction. Things behave how you would expect.[/box]
Not the best episode ever. But hey, whatever. Check my original Bigfoot viz over here.
