The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab reports results from an analysis of the combined $ν_e$ and $\bar ν_e$ appearance data $6.46 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target in neutrino mode $11.27 antineutrino mode. A total excess $240.3 \pm 34.5 52.6$ events ($3.8 σ$) is observed combining two sets energy range $200
