I wonder if this map just has darker colors for (some of) the low population density areas. If there are only 5 people in a zone, and one is a kook who sees ufos, that's 20% of the population in that region who have spotted a ufo! The zone next to it with 5 people has a kook who maybe believes in werewolves, so they get a light square on this map.

Hmm seems to correlate well with Air force test locations

I disagree, clearly the aliens are afraid of the mothman and the Appalachian mountains.

Looks like they are afraid of the GOP

Hillbillies exist beyond the confines of the south.

Yeah it's not adjusted per capita. About as dumb as the map showing UFO sightings mainly in US because they used US statistics.

It says that it's per capita in the image: "Reported UFO sightings per 100k residents".

Youre right I missread.

Now, do an overlay that shows military base locations as well as flight zones.
I can see a flight zone in Ohio that I have to avoid when droning and the counties around it are a bit darker.
Surely it's a coincidence, right? The aliens must just know where the zones are so they have plausible deniability!
