Abstract
We report here the results of a statistical cross-correlation study between 262 of Weber's gravitational radiation events and various geophysical, meteorological, and other phenomena. A correlation at the 2.7 standard-deviation level is found between the gravitational radiation events and the measure of the magnetospheric ring-current intensity, and at the 3.0 standard-deviation level with sidereal time. The results imply that some of the reported gravity events could be caused by processes other than gravitational radiation.Keywords
