Large anisotropy is observed for gravitational-radiation-detector intensity as a function of sidereal time, with peaks in the direction of the galactic center and in the opposite direction consistent with 12-h antenna symmetry. The 12-h sidereal-time histograms exhibit anisotropy exceeding 6 standard deviations from the mean.
