This was a metastudy looking at a large body of research.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The median prevalence of schizophrenia was 4.6\/1,000 for point prevalence, 3.3\/1,000 for period prevalence, 4.0 for lifetime prevalence, and 7.2 for lifetime morbid risk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Point prevalence is the proportion of those manifesting the disorder at any one given point in time.  Period prevalence is the proportion of those manifesting the disorder over a specified period of time, such as a year. Lifetime prevalence is the proportion of individuals who have ever seemingly had the disease and who are alive on the (hypothetical) day of the measurement.  Lifetime morbid risk is the chance that a person will develop the disorder during a specific period of their life up to a specific age, usually referring to an entire birth cohort, regardless of whether or not the individuals in the group are living .<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>There were no significant differences between males and females, nor between urban, rural, and mixed sites, although migrants and homeless people had higher rates of schizophrenia and, not surprisingly, developing countries had lower prevalence rates (the lower prevalence of schizophrenia in developing countries has been previously documented). It is well known from other studies that migrants have higher than expected rates of schizophrenia [2-8], although definitions of migrants in these studies have been variable and the studies have suffered from a series of other methodological problems.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thus, if 10,000,000 men have been in the military in the US since 1960 (a very conservative estimate) then there would have been several tens of thousands of individuals (over their career or subsequent to their retirement) with some form of schizophrenia.<\/p>\n<p>This might mean that there are a lot of alien sightings unaccounted for.  This discrepancy could easily be understood, however, with reference to the fact that Air Force personnel are more likely to &#8220;see&#8221; this sort of alien or their effects than are the general military population.  To attain that estimate, it would be reasonable to assume that about 10 or 15% of the total US military would have spent considerable time on military bases with a strong air force presence, thus reducing this estimate to something like 5 to 10 thousand individuals (minimum).  The number of individuals who have worked on nuclear launch bases on dry land is much lower, and classified, but again, there would be several hundred or even a few thousand individuals who could have &#8220;seen&#8221; an alien or developed the memory subsequently using their own brains and not necessarily their own eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I quickly add that there is not a correspondence between schizophrenia per se and &#8220;seeing aliens&#8221; but a fairly common form of schizophrenia involves delusional symptoms easily  strong enough for someone to be quite certain that they did, and a much smaller percentage of individuals with this disorder hallucinate, and hallucination and delusion seem to frequently occur together. The majority of individuals with schizophrenia would not see or imagine aliens.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a 2001 video from the same guys who appear to keep coming back again and again.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"640\" height=\"390\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/7vyVe-6YdUk&#038;hl=en_US&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;version=3\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowScriptAccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>The Truth is Out There.
