One infamous case, as reported in declassified Project Blue Book files, involved military pilots witnessing objects flying at high speed near Olmsted Air Force Base in 1952.

Bryan Simpson, President of the Cincinnati Astronomical Society, noted that due to their rapid movement, lights could not have been captured with drone technology; however, he cautioned that fake videos of UFOs may easily be produced.
Ohio witnessed an upsurge of UFO sightings during Israel’s 1973 conflict, many attributed to military aircraft.

Pennsylvania currently ranks sixth on the list of states where UFO sightings are most prevalent, trailing only California by one spot. Take a look below at this comprehensive list; it might just surprise you!
Maine
Think back to The X-Files, and UFO sightings might bring to mind images of alien spaceships or mysterious lights in the night sky, but in reality most UFO reports are less dramatic; often cloud formations or planets are mistaken as alien craft.
According to Mutual UFO Network and National UFO Reporting Center reports, Maine reported 71 UFO sightings last year – down from an all-time high of 98 reports made in 2021 – but experts argue that official sighting numbers don’t tell the full picture.
