A study by researchers from the Hebrew University and the German University of Würzburg, led by Prof. Yoni Pertsov and Uriah Lanker-Dine, found that the human ability to process large parts of the field of vision optimizes the search operation he performs. As a result, the researchers suggest that inter-individual differences in the processing ability of the visual field can explain inter-individual differences in performance in a search task

According to the principle of "Occam's Razor", it is much more likely that UFOs can be explained as natural phenomena that we do not yet understand, or artificial objects of terrestrial origin, just as Umama's seemingly mysterious properties have been offered far more prosaic explanations than the alien probe speculation.
