> Most alien activity, either recorded by the public, the media or the government, happens in the USA. This is a major question that deserves the same level of scrutiny, if not more, than questions such as "do aliens exist".
Do you read the news in any language other than English? Is it then surprising that all the UFO sightings you hear about are written in English by English speakers?
If you actually had any interest in answering the question, which you obviously don't, you would have looked for information in other languages and you would have found plenty.
- woolion 3y ago>Do you read the news in any language other than English? That's kind of a weird take... I'm not American at all. I can't speak for all European countries, but in most it's kind of a basic anti-american cliché that they are so dumb that they believe in the grey alien coming with its anal probes. Most of the material about UFOs is directly translated. There's some homegrown UFO, like the French 'Raël' [0], but I believe it's way more fringe in non-English speaking countries. Trying to find data I stumbled upon [1], which would be fairly consistent with the result of a meme propagated through culture.

- david-gpu 3y agoThere are a ton of cases in Brazil and various other countries in South America. Those of us that mostly consume media in English hear about cases in the US and UK for that very reason. The dataset you pointed at is a perfect example of what I'm saying: NUFORC is an American nonprofit.
