This is a recent map, 2003, of the United States showing the locations of ufo sightings and where many ufo pics have been taken.

What really jumps out at me is the areas of the map colored totally white. This reveals what ufo researchers call "hot spots' or areas where ufo pics and ufo sightings are very high. For an area to be a solid white means the number of ufo sightings and ufo pics subsequently taken is very, very large. Other than the coastline of California the obvious ufo hot spots are centered in the eastern portion of America. I wonder why more ufo pics and sightings are recorded here? Most likely it correlates to the higher population densities in these areas. It only makes sense that the more people in a given area the more set's of eyes you have looking to the skies, and hence the more ufo sighting and ufo pics. Or is it possible the occupants of the ufos are choosing higher density population centers because they want to be seen and photographed? Maybe these aliens know a person abducted from such areas is less likely to be noticed as quickly as a person from a small town in the mid-west? Who can say for sure, but ufo pics and ufo sightings continue unabated and I believe will only increase.
