I am not following UFO information but I think I have only heard about them in my country (France) only twice in the last 15 years.
I heard about cases in the US much often. US are also probably 3 times or size (population) and 10 times (or whatever) military size - so maybe the numbers are consistent across countries.
I wonder however how much culture plays a role in the sightings. All UFOs in movies land in the US. You have Area51 and the extraterrestrial highway. You have Roswell and tranformers inside the Hoover Dam.
If I see a weird thing in the sky, UFO will be the 7th possibility on my list. Maybe in the US UFOs landing is business as usual for pepole ?
- fritzthecat 7y agoI have seen strange things happening while camping out under a Cessna 172 together with fellow european pilots in Sedona, Arizona in 1995. Multiple lights in the Sky, zigzagging across the sky in very similar fashion to what those F18 pilots report. I know you were trying to be cynical, but maybe there is something strange going on there.
- BrandoElFollito 7y agoNo, I am not trying to be cynical. My point is that if the news/reporting on UFOs in the US is much more prevalent than in, say, France, it is no surprise that people jump to that conclusion quicker than elsewhere. The movies are one another reason for that. This is just an idea, I do not know how statistically sound this is. To give a counterexample, everytime I switch on the radio on a station which is supposed to have people talking (France Culture for instance) and I hear music, I assume they are on strike. I do not think than an American would jump on that conclusion.
