...Sunset Peak. Sandia scientists arrived at their remarkable findings by assembling the records of thousands of accidents in the laboratories for periods of up to 20 years and analyzing them with the aid of a computer. Plotting disabling injuries against the phases of the moon in which they occurred, for example, the researchers found "the possibility of a heightened accident susceptibility for people during the phase similar to that in which they were born, and for the lunar phase which is 180° away from that in which they were born." Equally significant, these accidents tended to peak in cycles...

Furthermore, there was a noticeable correlation between accidents and sunspot activity, which peaks on an average of every 11 years. In 1968 and 1969, for example, when the number of sunspots reached their peak in recent years, the accident rate at Sandia was the highest in the past two decades...
