This could actually be a fun dataset for an undergraduate project: we have (roughly) geolocated descriptions of UFO sightings, so it could be used for a number of things including the kinds of language and terminology differences across different parts of the US with respect to a very narrow domain.
Oh, and don't forget that UFO means unidentified, not "alien spacecraft." :)
Happy Turkey Day to y'all!
