Data shows US counties with the most UFO sightings

Reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) have increased in recent years, and some parts of the country have proven to be particularly hospitable to strange things in the sky — or at least to those who see them.

24/7 Tempo has identified the counties with the most UFO sightings per capita, based on data provided by Cheryl Costa and Linda Miller, authors of “UFO Sightings Desk Reference: United States of America 2001-2020.”

The data shows the relative likelihood of county residents reporting UFO sightings. (Population figures come from the US Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.)

A number of factors influence the number of sightings, including population, geography, climate, and weather.

Reporting is facilitated by access to broadband, and media reports may create a feedback loop: high-profile incidents, such as when airline pilots report being buzzed by fast-moving objects, are often followed by a rash of sightings.

The top ten list is as follows:

1. 844 – Horry County, South Carolina (254.1 sightings per 100k)
2. 515 – Yavapai County, Arizona (225.8 sightings per 100k
3. 403 – Mohave County, Arizona (194 sightings per 100k)
4. 339 – Whatcom County, Washington (153.5 sightings per 100k)
5. 448 – Lane County, Oregon (120 sightings per 100k)
6. 511 – Ada County, Idaho (111.9 sightings per 100k)
7. 476 – Pinal County, Arizona (110 sightings per 100k)
8. 379 – Larimer County, Colorado (109.9 sightings per 100k)
9. 348 – Boulder County, Colorado (107.9 sightings per 100k)
10. 328 – St Louis City County, Missouri (106.4 sightings per 100k)
