Since it’s not possible to explore the galaxy like the crew of the star ship Enterprise yet, you can instead travel to these UFO hotspots in the hopes that the galaxy will visit you. While it can’t be guaranteed you’ll see anything in the skies above these cities of an extraterrestrial origin, these places give you the best odds.
UFO sightings in towns and cities tend to come in clusters, with periods of high activity generally followed by a complete lull (sometimes forever) of activity. Aliens (or overactive imaginations), it turns out, seem to favor a couple of international cities that would be fun to visit – E.T.s or not.
Mexico City, Mexico
The world’s number on place for UFO sightings, the skies over Mexico City have been home to a number of reports lights in the sky and round silver objects. Mysterious lights in the sky were even been reported by the Mexican Air Force as confirmed unidentified flying objects as you can see in the video from 2007 below.
Scotland
Over 300 UFOs are reported in Scotland each year, four times as many as in France or Italy. While 90% of those are eventually explained as man made vehicles, if you’re curious about the other 10% head to the central Scottish areas of West Lothian and Stirlingshire. Of course, if you don’t have luck finding any UFOs you can always head down to Loch Ness.
Perhaps not unrelated, the UK is also where more crop circles are reported than anywhere else in the world.
Sydney, Australia
The winner of the best city to visit travel tournament in 2009, Sydney, Australia has been having a rash of UFO sightings lately. While the reports aren’t specifically of the UFOs themselves, you might be able to get up close and personal with the little green (or gray) men themselves. A number of people are claiming they’ve been abducted to medical facility in the Blue Mountains.
Kansas City, Missouri
UFOs don’t care too much for the eastern or southern United States it seems but Midwest is always a popular choice for vacationing aliens. Hop a flight to Kansas City, MO where the average number of UFO sightings has skyrocketed to one or two a day recently. I didn’t see any while I was there but was dealing with a dead camera battery as it was.
Aside from the recent UFO invasion, the Traveling Mamas gives us another reason to love Kansas City.
Other Good Places To See UFOs
- Roswell, New Mexico – New Mexico in general is one of the busiest places in the US for UFO reports. If you can’t catch UFOs in the sky check out the Roswell UFO Museum to find quite a few of them.
- Texas and Colorado – There seems to be a spike in UFO sightings in both states.
- Near Military Installations – Most UFO sightings happen near or around military bases.
- The Polar Regions – Ok, so you probably won’t see UFOs in the polar regions but can see other extra terrestrial lights in the sky. I’m talking about auroras (northern and southern lights).
As I mentioned above, UFO sightings tend to come in clusters and fluctuated over time so don’t be disappointed when if you don’t see anything. There are plenty of natural extraterrestrial travel wonders you can see from around the world at the right times of the year. Next week, I’ll give you some good sights from the cosmos and UFO alternatives so you can see some of what the universe has to offer from Earth.

When I traveled, I met a bunch of people who were either dying to go to Roswell, or went. Regardless of which, I think they were very disappointed that no aliens greeted them at the borders with funky alien lays or other kooky stuff.
This isn’t about alien travel, but why do people migrate to weird locations to see some stuff, that might have happened ages ago. This goes for hometowns of serial murderers, rapist. They are finally caught and put away, and all of a sudden people flock to that town as the new hot spot.
That what I found interesting when writing this post as well. People who travel somewhere in the hopes of seeing something paranormal or just to be in a place where something (like a serial murder) happened decades ago.
The destination becomes the secondary point of the travel, which is unusual in itself. These towns, like Roswell, sure have made the most of it though – but generally the museums in places like these aren’t too good.
Good thing there are plenty of space phenomena we can witness from various places on the Earth without being disappointed, even if there are no little aliens there.
Amazing info..i saw a similar article on NGC and was pretty fascinated..thnks will bookmark this page 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it, does peek the imagination doesn’t it?
These crop circles are amazing and way to complicated for humans to do it in the middle of the night!
Interesting site you’ve got there..
I’m no UFO fanatic, but I would like to visit Roswell. Seeing it would give me a story or two to tell. I’m sure after a few pints I could embellish the tale with gusto.
What about Area 51 (or the town nearest). Not on the list?
There are a lot of sightings around the base itself but most military bases have a high incidence of UFO reports. In that part of the US I’d recommend New Mexico which has a very high number of UFO reports on a pretty consistent basis.
Roswell though doesn’t have too many reports of UFOs, except from tourists which makes me wonder. Your best route if you’re in the area is highway 40 between Albuquerque and Flagstaff. It’s where a *lot* of UFOs are reported each year.
