Only Delaware and Washington ranked higher.
Casino.ca reports that there have been 8,314 UFO sightings reported over recent years in New York.
“So your chances of spotting a mysterious object in the sky (in New York) and being abducted by aliens are pretty high,” Casino.ca writes about New York. “New Yorkers are convinced they’ve encountered UFOs, with one witness describing a ‘white, tic-tac-shaped object in the sky’ and another reporting a “silver orb flying overhead.’”
The data comes from the National UFO Reporting Center, which tracks reports from across the country.
