Delaware: The Alien Abduction Capital of America



The odds of a hostile close encounter have reportedly never been higher in Delaware. With National Alien Abduction Day occurring on March 20, data from the National UFO Reporting Center and social media discussions were analyzed to uncover the states where unexplained aerial phenomena are most frequently reported and where the chances of alien abduction might be highest. According to the study, Delaware is the most likely place to get abducted by aliens, with 12,097 reported UFO sightings since 1974. Residents have reported seeing flying cylinders with beaming lights hovering over their homes. Given the number of sightings, the ratio is one for every 928 residents. The numbers move the state from fourth place last year to first place this year. Behind Delaware are Washington DC with 8,314 reported sightings and New York with 7,595 reported sightings.
