UFOs are only spotted in USA. Either Americans are liars or the rest of the world is blind

Also UFOs are only seen in poor conditions by those with poor quality cameras. It's never in the middle of the day, ground level, bright sunlight with a DSLR.

I shouldn't reply to an obvious troll account, but just because I've seen this claim come up several times now, and because it gives me an excuse to drop some high strangeness - UFOs have been spotted all over the world. It isn't just a US thing, although one could always argue the effect of the influence of US cultural hegemony on sightings elsewhere. Some entertainingly noteworthy examples: Japan Airlines Cargo Flight 1628 (1986)[0] Warminster, England (1964)[1] Tuscany (1954)[2] Rendlesham Forest, Suffolk, England (1980)[3] Varginha, Brazil (1966)[4] Voronezh, Soviet Union (1989)[5] [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Cargo_Flight_1628_incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan_Air_Lines_Cargo_Flight_1...

  They do make a decent point tho. I don't see articles in the BBC, CBC or NHK every couple months about these things, since I've been following (recent history), it's mostly been the Americans who frequently talk about/spot this stuff.
