THEY’RE GONNA TERK ER JERBS!
Ogoodbodogooooo!
THE ALIENS ARE COMING RIGHT FOR US!
BLAM
They’re going right for the jugular!
Juggalo’s have it coming!
/s
IIRC this was a study (survey?) done by a American company.
There are tons of UFO sighting in plenty of non-NA or EU countries such as Brazil and South Africa
^ this is true.
This post is insanely misleading.
Like every shit post about aliens lately. Shit got old like immediately. Wake me up when we have actual evidence. Not just abductive reasoning.
^ this guy is right.
^ made the right call here

I’d like to add that for many countries like mine, a UFO sighting wouldn’t even register as “unidentified” or having an outer space origin. The locals would attribute it to something religious instead.
Berrrrr. VWOOP! widdle widdle, shooom. Pew, pew, pew. Buh luh luh luh luh luh. So sayeth the lord. Amen.
And now we paint ourselves green and dance in his shiny circular beamy holy goodness.
You ain’t gotta give, but I’m taking donations. If your neighbor don’t drop a dollarydoo in the plate, don’t judge him too harshly.
LOL I’d donate
I was wondering why the sightings were dominated by English speaking countries, this may be the reason. Thanks.
This is just a heatmap of English speakers.
That’s because the source of the data is an English website which collected only English reports.
I prefer to believe that the anglos are just conspiracy-brained morons.
If you think the most English speakers live in the US and UK I’ve got some very surprising news for you
Most native speakers live in the U.S. and the UK based on population numbers. We’re talking over 400 million native speakers.
But as far non-native speakers, Google tells me that’s India. But most English speakers in India don’t speak it as their first language. They learned it in school, they didn’t grow up speaking it at home.
As a Canadian, I must say:
Bonjour
Gor-la-mi
This is my biggest problem with believing anything alien related; how come all of the video evidence is taken on a phone camera from 2001, and the fact basically all sightings happen in the US?
The people making this shit up have to try harder than that!
The UK is just as bright on that map.
Oh, our cultural colony follows in our footsteps?
Quite the shocker from Airstrip One over there.
There’s a somewhat rational theory that Roswell happened because it was the site of the nuclear bomb testings and aliens “only try to contact civs that are at splitting the atom tech level”.
It has some merit to it, but yeah, look at that map. Hardly convincing when looking at the reported sightings.
Because that’s where the freak show is.
Or more accurately, total classified air flights. There’s a reason so many reports happen near US military facilities.
That is because people are morons and don’t know how cameras work. Even the military thinks things like low flying geese are some how aliens, when clearly their evidence is to the contrary. I am not saying that there aren’t aliens. They probably do exist, but the evidence we keep getting shown for it is laughable.
Or maybe we’re just really bored and stupid.
I suspect chronic boredom is widespread but almost no one realises it.
One of our chief industries is entertainment. Everyone knows it.
How many people eat food because they know they need it vs because they just want it. I think chronic boredom is like that but worse and far more subtle. It amplifies a lot of our other issues, such as adhd and obesity.
And I don’t think you need to be bored to enjoy good entertainment. Not to mention the industry runs on greed mostly. It would be in their interest that people didn’t find the problem as that could lead to people finding a cure. How would e.g. Netflix keep profiting from producing such poor content? How about those who profit so much from feeding ads to our brain dead states?
Americans trying to explain why the map looks like this
Do you think the US has more people than all of Asia or something?
No, but in this case it’s not just population. If some potato farmer in northern Asia sees a UFO (especially before the proliferation of smartphones), how would it be reported and appear on this map? Lots of other reports come from pilots and such and again, far different distribution between continents.

When the first dinosaur bone was discovered, noone had heard about it before and people believed that bones they found before were from some animals
After people knew about dinosaurs they started finding them other places in the world at a rapid pace. Many people thought it was all a hoax
So you know, unless you know about them you don’t know what to report. And americans think most about aliens I guess.
That being said, probably there aren’t secret aliens around. probably 🫣
So… what were they mistaking the aliens for?
I mean, the actual verified “alien craft” in America is actually more of a “not sure what that is” grainy footage in an age where Donald Trump tweeted out classified satellite images that showed the cameras we use are actually far more advanced and show far more detail than any we knew existed. And that technology was over a decade old at the time!
My guess is secret and experimental technologies being tested by the military.
So… what were they mistaking the aliens for?
Ghosts. Spirits. Dragons. Or any other mythical creatures, or mythical phenomena of your choice.
If there were aliens, those are the descriptions I would expect through most of human history. And those are the descriptions I would expect in basically all the world, almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today.
So it couldn’t be Americans mistaking ghosts for aliens? Or bigfoot, a creature that we haven’t been able to verify because their culture advanced past ours and is able to cloak themselves and occasionally go on joyrides in their more advanced technology and forget to turn on the cloaking device? We have just as much evidence for all of these things.
You didn’t get the point I made.
No, I’m pretty sure I fully understand you. I’m just pretty sure that people are either making it up or ascribing normal, terrestrial things that they don’t understand as fantastical things. There aren’t ghosts, spirits, dragons or aliens that have secretly visited earth but choses not to make actual contact. My point is that all of those things are equally unlikely. I assumed my over-the-top absurdity made that clear.
And I feel like you might be underestimating literally all of the world if you think these things are actually aliens. You’re implying that they would assume something they don’t understand is some mystical nonsense. That “almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today” is superstitious and wouldn’t know what aliens are.
I’m just pretty sure that people are either making it up or ascribing normal, terrestrial things that they don’t understand as fantastical things.
Yes.
As I said: If there were aliens, those fantastical things, are the descriptions I would expect through most of human history. And in most non US places. After all, aliens are a modern US legend, invented from Americans, for Americans.
I didn’t say that there were any aliens anywhere. Or that there were any other fantastical things anywhere.
That “almost everywhere that isn’t the US, even today” is superstitious and wouldn’t know what aliens are
Didn’t we just establish that aliens are superstition? I think you are overestimating how many people share “aliens” as the most popular superstition which comes to mind first.
Most of the US shares that. A lot of other places probably don’t. Don’t underestimate how many strange stories about strange things in the night are out there :D
Ya know what? I misread this interaction. My bad. I didn’t realize we were arguing the same point. The last week has shown a lot of people on this site arguing fervently for the case of aliens visiting earth, and I made assumptions. I’m sorry buddy.
I think its like bigfoot / mothman etc - once someone in your area is talking about seeing a thing, it increases the likelihood you will think you saw that thing specifically next time you see something that would be otherwise unexplainable to you
I have several relatives who “see” plots all the time. Every time I deal with them I get to hear about them. Bet you didn’t know that there is a plot to turn frogs gay and convert our children into drag queens.
They sound like they do their own research. What lovely, intellectual people.
You don’t choose your family.
or the aliens are just us experimental stealth planes
Good morning. In less than an hour, aircraft from here will join others from around the world. And you will be launching the largest aerial battle in the history of mankind. “Mankind.” That word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can’t be consumed by our petty differences anymore. We will be united in our common interests. Perhaps it’s fate that today is the Fourth of July, and you will once again be fighting for our freedom… Not from tyranny, oppression, or persecution… but from annihilation. We are fighting for our right to live. To exist. And should we win the day, the Fourth of July will no longer be known as an American holiday, but as the day the world declared in one voice: “We will not go quietly into the night!” We will not vanish without a fight! We’re going to live on! We’re going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!
He had his flaws, but I still think of him as our greatest president.
The defining speech of President Whitmore. Right up there with the Gettysburg address.
Between him and Morgan Freeman, the U.S. has had some really good presidents.
That all these sightings just happen to occur in the US reminds me of how I’d watch old Dr Who episodes and chuckle at how all the aliens always ended up in the same sand pit in England.
Meanwhile the Netherlands chilling with the extraterrestrials.
Maybe that’s where they got their terraforming abilities.
Apparently, aliens are very interested in anglophone countries
