A recent study by Casino.ca, released in conjunction with National Alien Abduction Day on March 20, analyzed approximately 150,000 UFO/UAP sightings from the National UFO Reporting Center database and social media to determine the per capita rate of reported alien abductions in each U.S. state. Nationally, there is an average of one sighting per 1,770 people. Colorado ranks 18th in the U.S. for these reports, with an average of one sighting per 1,596 residents, indicating a higher-than-average likelihood of reported alien encounters. The study found that states like Delaware, Washington, and New York have even higher rates of reported sightings.
