Visual analysis is a powerful tool to detect anomalies and outliers in data, as long as you give the user the right tools to look with.
On our second day of the #dashboardweek, I tried to find an answer to the question “are there aliens among us or all that is just our imagination” by looking for anomalies in UFO reports. I thought of finding a site of an interstellar spaceport or something like it. so far I didn’t find a lot of unexplained behaviour out there: if people see more “objects”, it is just because there are more people out there. But maybe you will be luckier!
