UFO hot spots (MAP)

Researchers at the University of Utah used over 98,000 reports of UFO sightings between 2001 to 2020 to create a map of the biggest UFO hot spots in America. Their study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, concluded that "the majority of sightings were in western parts of the U.S." The scientists believe there's a better chance of seeing a UFO in the west because there are "lots of wide-open spaces and dark skies." The West – as well as some very isolated areas in the Northeast – saw “far more sightings," while fewer UFO sightings were reported in the central plains and the Southeast.
