People ask why UFO sightings always seem to occur in America's heartland. A few thoughts: - Other places see them too, see map (from here)
- In the old days, people called weird/scary phenomena them dragons, in modern societies they're updated technologically to UFOs. Same thing.
- The areas of UFO sightings are often near military bases where the experimental aircraft that most people call UFOs launch from.
- The rural areas have overhead electrical towers - as opposed to dense urban areas - which also lead to people thinking there's UFOs (basically the wires reflect a car's headlights and it appears to be a rapidly ascending-descending light that keeps pace with your average hillbilly pickup, yet disappears as soon as you stop to investigate).
- Urban areas have more to do than stare into space while tweaking on axle-grease moonshine.
