We Lead the World in UFO Sightings!

Would you believe the United States has 96 % (!) of the world’s UFO sightings?

Well, heck, I’ve seen UFOs. A lot of the people I know, maybe most of them, have seen UFOs. Once it was me and a lobbyful of White Castle customers, in broad daylight, gawking out the window at… what? Nobody knew.

Going by the map, the USA is way out in front, with Britain second and Western Europe third. How do we account for this?

*Thanks to our popular culture, do we expect to see more UFOs?

*Is there a lot of junk up there that isn’t flying saucers but just can’t be identified by an observer on the ground?

*Are illegal aliens really aliens–like, from other worlds?

*Red Chinese spy balloons? Caught ’em at it once: that surely was not the only time they ever did it.

I think what we call “public education” makes us poorly prepared to face reality of any kind–and that we take movies and special effects way more seriously than we ought to. We do need to know what’s going on up there in our country’s air space. It would be nice to know that rational people are handling it.
