While the sighting of an unexplainable light pattern or aircraft in the sky can and seemingly does occur just about everywhere sooner or later, there are some places that seem to draw in UFO's like moths to a candle flame. There so-called "hotspots" tend to have a much higher percentage of UFO sightings than other, seemingly similar, places around the world. It is not just the secluded forests and deserts that draw UFO activity. Many of the most populous areas and cities also provide these high per capita sighting reports. It begs the question of just what is so interesting in these oft-visited places that bring such a large number of unidentified craft flying over.

Arizona, in the United States, has experienced more than its share of high-profile UFO cases. Leading the state in reports is the city of Phoenix. As well as the well-documented case of the "Phoenix Lights" in 1997, Arizona's Apache National Forest was the location of the famous Travis Walton abduction. Sedonia, Arizona also reports higher than normal UFO traffic. Metaphysicists say UFO's are drawn to Sedonia because it lies at the intersection of natural Earth energies or vortices (read lay lines) in the area.

Just north of Arizona is the state with the highest per capita percentage of UFO sightings and reports. Colorado is well known for its high elevation and the Rocky Mountains. It also contains Saguache County, which seems to be at the center of the greatest UFO activity. While Nevada reports a greater per capita sighting ratio, possibly because of the fame of the "secret" Area 51, Texas reports over five times as many sightings. Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, and Minnesota also see much more UFO activity than the well-traveled Highway 95 out of Rachel, Nevada.

Mexico City, Mexico, has also become a major UFO hotspot over the last twenty years. From the multiple sightings on July 11, 1991 when the fleet of unidentified craft stole the show from the solar eclipse that was taking place, to 2005 when the greatest recorded mass sighting was filmed over the city, Mexicans have often been presented with spectacular aerial displays.

While they rarely get groups of UFO's over their town, Bonnybridge, Scotland can claim a record for the most sightings from any town in the world. With an average of 300 separate reports a year, it is no wonder the local government petitioned the Prime Minister to order an official investigation into the matter. To date, those investigations have still been regrettably inconclusive. Warminster in Wiltshire, England may be most famous for crop circles but also manages one of the highest incident levels in the UK for UFO sightings. Some believe this is because UFO's are still using nearby Stonehenge as a navigational marker for their flights.

These possibly extraterrestrial visitors do not neglect the Southern Hemisphere. Barely 150 miles South of Santiago, Chili, a 19 mile long section of road near San Clement has been host to so many UFO sightings that the tourism department has attempted to cash in on the phenomena by renaming the road "The UFO Trail."

Down under in Australia, Wycliffe Well in the Northern Territory has some of the highest UFO activity in the world. Not only are UFO's repeatedly sighted, the number of abduction cases has garnered the town with a reputation as the alien abduction capitol of the continent. Even the nearby military air base cannot account for the recurring sightings and visitations that seem to so plague this otherwise peaceful town which the metaphysicists say also falls on natural Earth energy lines like Sedonia, Arizona and Stonehenge.

With the increased prevalence of UFO reports from around the world a person stands a chance of seeing some unusual object in the skies just about anywhere they happen to be. There are however some places that seem to draw anomalous sightings like flies to sugar. If you are tired of waiting in your own back yard for that mysterious sighting, you may want to book passage to some of the "UFO hotspots" where strange lights and objects seem to congregate.

North America has a number of these places where multiple sightings are common. Upper New York near Niagara Falls gets more than its share of unidentifiable lights in the sky. To the West, Mount Adams, Washington is host to so many unexplainable light shows that James Gilliland, founder of Enlightened Contact with Extra Terrestrial Intelligence (ECETI) has a ranch at the mountain's base where he hosts UFO seekers who are rarely disappointed. Mount Adams is also where pilot Kenneth Arnold saw the craft that first inspired the term "flying saucer" in 1947.

Mexico City, Mexico and the surrounding countryside seem to attract a number of different types of UFO. In April 2005 thousands of citizens of the city witnessed what was first a few silvery orbs floating in the sky only to be stunned as well over a hundred of these mysterious objects appeared and maneuvered through the sky. The event provided great film footage as the event was in full daylight just as so many UFO sightings in Mexico City occur.

Wiltshire, England is an area that contains not only the monolithic Stonehenge but also wide fields that continue to erupt in crop circles. For over 50 years the citizens have become almost used to the strange lights in the sky and deep booming sounds coming down from above. UFO hunters even hold an annual sky watch at Cradle Hill and are frequent observers at nearby Cley Hill.

Since the early 1990's the number of shiny metallic looking spheres appearing around San Clemente, Chile, prompted the local tourism board to dub the area the "UFO Trail" in 2008. While the terrain is rough, serious UFO hunters often travel to nearby El Enlandrillado for a chance to catch the aerial shows.

ET has not forgotten Australia either. Wycliffe Well, Northern Territory, is as well known for UFO activity as the area around Roswell, New Mexico. The Falkirk Triangle in Scotland has spent the last twenty years being presented with multiple unidentified lights and craft. Thousands of residents have reported these oft-occurring events with the small town of Bonnybridge topping the list with an average of 300 sightings a year. Falkirk was responsible for over 6,000 pages of report data recently released to the public by the Ministry of Defense.

These are not the only places for long-term multiple sightings. From the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico to Sochi, Russia, to Ladakh in the Himalayan Mountains some areas of our Earth seem to hold an especial fondness for whatever or whoever pilots these mysterious craft.
