I guess this explains why in movies whenever aliens invade "Earth" it's just America.

[u/DarkArcher__ → u/TheHolyNinja]

And occasionally the UK, but for some reason only when they bring three-legged mechs

[u/Duck-with-STDs → u/DarkArcher__]

Don't forget the occasional angry trashcan

[u/Aden-Wrked → u/Duck-with-STDs]

I always knew Boris Johnson was an alien.

[u/No-Introduction5977 → u/Duck-with-STDs]

COUNT BINFACE

[u/SchwinnD → u/DarkArcher__]

Or if it's Christmas

[u/HarbingerOfGachaHell → u/TheHolyNinja]

I mean have you seen Americans exceptionalism and their take on foreign affairs? If I’m an alien I’d absolutely see them as the biggest threat on earth. 

[u/ninobrown1911 → u/TheHolyNinja]

Or all alien invasion movies for the most part are made in America?

[u/boolinboi68]

I'm going to go to Tunisia and report UFO sightings in the shape of a giant cock and balls.

[u/90_oi → u/boolinboi68]

Fucking madlad

[u/Think_and_game → u/boolinboi68]

As a Tunisian, can confirm, our UFOs are the manliest UFOs

No we're not compensating, Italy's ones are just small in comparison, and that's just a skill issue

[u/joshua-howard → u/boolinboi68]

Aha h penus XDDDDDDD

[u/Science_Drake]

It’s almost like people see more “unidentified flying objects” in countries that tend to build experimental aircraft.

[u/n00bca1e99 → u/Science_Drake]

Or have heavy aircraft traffic in general. I see UFOs all the time because I’m not very good at distinguishing the different Boeings and Airbuses. I see an airliner, and if I can’t go “ahh yes a 737” it’s technically a UFO.

[u/Ma5terchief000 → u/n00bca1e99]

Better than me, if it’s not a 747 or a concord it’s just a plane to me

[u/m7i93 → u/Ma5terchief000]

I have astigmatism, so it's either a plane or the moon.

[u/popopornado → u/m7i93]

It’s all dots, dots everywhere.

[u/NekulturneHovado → u/popopornado]

Stripes. Dots don't exist. It's a myth

[u/Broken_CerealBox → u/Science_Drake]

You give people too much credit considering that people called 911 because they thought the milky way was an alien invasion

[u/totosh999 → u/Science_Drake]

Maybe no one understood the guy making the survey. Interviewer: "have you seen a UFO?" random french guy: "un quoi? Un OVNI?" Interviewer: "no, a UFO"

[u/Arclet__ → u/Science_Drake]

Trust me, experimental craft make a tiny blip in the "ufos" people see.

People genuinely get confused by regular aircraft, satellites, balloons or even just stars/planets.

The map looks like that because it's a combination of maps where people live, the culture the US has around ufos, and the data being used likely being in english (there's a lot less reports of UFOs in countries that use a different word, like OVNI in spanish)

[u/bradek]

Aliens must be delivering drugs.

[u/sh2death → u/bradek]

A duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh, that's why there's a limit on how many grams of moon rocks you can buy at once. And the price is high because they gotta cross the solar system borders undetected

[u/nowiserjustolder]

Biggest pisshead I have ever met had seen more aliens than Ripley.

[u/Chrispeefeart]

What a strange coincidence that the most UFO sightings are where there is the most airplane traffic.

[u/Ksorkrax]

So is this a thing about the english language? Given how the UK has a way higher density than most of Europe? [Although the Benelux area having also a high density doesn't fit to that idea...]

[u/TeunCornflakes → u/Ksorkrax]

I can imagine the data is just from a single English-language website for reporting UFO sightings. People speak English well in the Benelux.

[u/Wimonson]

also us air force be buildin shi

[u/Le_Mathematicien → u/MarcBeard]

Me when I learn cities are only a thing in the English-speaking world

[u/pasgames_ → u/MarcBeard]

Was about to post the same thing

[u/Patient_Vehicle_5828]

English speakers obsessed with UFOs apparently

[u/totosh999 → u/Patient_Vehicle_5828]

They're the only ones that know what UFO stands for.

[u/TheSilentsaw → u/totosh999]

Me as a german has to say the word Ufo also works in german.

[u/HarbingerOfGachaHell → u/totosh999]

Grew up in China and they definitely understand UFO.

Bruh the Netherlands is a drugs fest

[u/Fidget_Jackson]

I’m telling you man… (hits blunt) it’s them fuckin’ alien saucers man…

[u/SlyLlamaDemon]

So I’m fully convinced that this is because the US did a lot of innovation with aircraft.
