10 US States Where You’re Most Likely to Encounter Aliens
If you want a “close encounter of the third kind,” try visiting one of these 10 US states. These places are known for having the most alien sightings and abductions.
The New York Post says California is the top spot. Since 1974, there have been over 36,000 UFO sightings in the state. That’s about one sighting for every 1,075 people. It gives you a better chance of seeing something unusual.
Other states with many sightings include Washington, Florida, and New York. Nevada, home to Area 51, is only ranked 10th. That may mean aliens prefer quieter or less well-known locations.
The “Safe Zones” From Alien Abductions
If you’re not keen on meeting aliens, a few states in the US might be considered “safe zones.” Louisiana ranks last when it comes to UFO sightings, with just one for every 3,815 people. Despite having only about 10% of California’s population, it sees far fewer reports of alien activity.
Other low-ranking states include Mississippi, Alabama, and Virginia — all of which have similarly low sighting rates, making them ideal for anyone looking to steer clear of extraterrestrial encounters.
The West Coast: A Hotspot for Alien Activity?
Overall, the West Coast seems to be a magnet for alien sightings. Coastal states like California, Oregon, and Washington consistently top the list for reported encounters, suggesting this region is a favorite among extraterrestrial visitors.
Of course, it all comes down to chance — and whether or not you believe aliens actually exist. But who knows? Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to experience something truly out of this world.
