I suppose you’re getting the 5000 number from the 5% claim but Hanson actually doesn’t claim 5000 as a number but rather makes the claim “I’d guess there are at least a thousand such strong dramatic reported events.”
So here you drop from a 5% claim to that of about 1%.
As for where, it doesn’t take too much to start getting some leads. Most are news stories that probably don’t meet your criteria but this might at least offer some basis for thinking something is going on. I think the question then becomes more why is the government and military taking these steps—they are clearly not costless and many other efforts are competing for funds—if there is really nothing but smoke and mirrors.
