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.

I think it's interesting, too. I've seen many mysterious objects with lights moving around way up in the night sky, myself. Mostly when I first started lying outside on the ground looking up at the night sky as a kid, with a friend. That was in Germany.

@Piper That is cool. I've never seen anything in the sky that was particularly mysterious. I envy those who have.

@Rutterman Oh, I doubt if anything I've seen was actually "aliens" visiting, but some weren't easily explainable.

@Piper I'm sure you're right about that. UFOs are simply unidentified flying objects. Just because we don't know what these objects are doesn't automatically mean extraterrestrial beings have come for a visit. There are plenty of other explanations that make more sense to my skeptical mind.

@Rutterman I'm pretty skeptical too, but not about the possibility that beings from other planets exist and might have visited ours.
