Dont get my hopes high. I have the feeling it will be a disappointment. Also why would aliens only visit the us? Surely other countries would be in possession of alien tech if the us was.

I don't believe that there are any alien vessels, intact or otherwise. But I would imagine that a superpower with global reach and a stealth program could (and would) gather craft before the countries where they were located knew they were there.

By traveling to china or russia and snatching ufos from right under their nose? I doubt it. I think if anything remotely alien would visit earth everyone would know.

    Right, America has trouble retrieving it's own equipment when it is downed near (not in) adversarial territory. That's with the advantage of knowing exactly when and where the equipment went down and with the benefit of advanced planning for a potential recovery. There's no way they are suddenly so much more competent when the downed equipment is "alien." If this stuff is so easily tracked, then it's not so easily hidden from the public. And if this stuff went down in a smaller country, you can bet there are plenty of people out there ready and willing to pay for it just because. We have difficulty enough charging wealthy people with real crimes, much less putting them away for buying alien technology.

It's for the same reason when you find yourself being forced to enter a 'state' on a website address form , yet you're not from the US.

  Most likely. It find it funny when aliens in movies almost always land in the us. It may be the world’s most awesome country, but wouldnt at least some of these aliens be curious about german beer or south korean food?

    That's weird, when I watch Japanese TV shows a disproportionate amount of the aliens go to Japan

    You can clearly see the electric lights of population centers from space. If aliens were doing surveillance, they'd probably stick to the darker spots. After all, out planet is surrounded by artificial satellites, and we make no attempt to hide them. So clearly some humans are capable of putting things into orbit, and those things could be weapons.

  Countries besides the US also have states.

    My old country had several smaller countries nested inside it, but no states.

      Countries with states: Australia Austria Brazil Germany India Malaysia Mexico Micronesia Myanmar New Zealand Nigeria Palau South Sudan

There's sightings all over, other countries are similarly secretive/in the dark.

The article states they happen all over the world and the whistleblower suggests other nations do have them. Give it a read!

Because the internet and everything you use every day was invented in america, the waterways are controlled by american aircraft carriers, the moon is american, the silicon you use is made in the american pseudo-colonies of japan, south korea, and taipei. America is the invisible roman empire, and the american corporate oligarchy is Caesar. Weapons systems generations ahead of the competition. All trade done in dollars, all entertainment and science conducted in english. All data flows through american megacorps that answer only to the american oligarch. Pure hegemony so strong most people aren't aware that it exists.

Technology to fly light years. But not the technology to land on earth without crashing.

  Miscalculated lithobrake because of different atmosphere and gravity. Surprise!

  Not that I'm drawing conclusions, but have you considered the possibility that the stuff that crashes is the alien equivalent of the ATV or the hoverboard?

  Maybe their equipment and pilots are in desperate shape after untold generations crawling across the black.

  They don't tend to last more than 20,000 years before some malfunction brings them down.
