Reported UFO Sightings, 1906 to 2014

It’s interesting to see how the number of reported sightings has exploded in recent decades. It’s also interesting that reports of UFO sightings are heavily concentrated in only a handful of countries.

What do you make of it?

@jackjjackson In the US, the number of reported sightings pretty much corresponds with the population in a given area. That's not too surprising. More people = more sightings. I'm guessing there was a big increase in reports in recent years due to more satellites and other objects flying through the skies.

Internationally, I'm not sure what's going on. Some countries with large populations have had relatively few reports of UFO sightings. Maybe a lot of people in these places simply don't report UFOs when they see them. It's also possible there are fewer objects flying over these areas.
