Oregon may be the current UFO hot spot if you’re looking to experience one of these contraptions up close and personal, according to statistics released from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database March 30, 2017.

California has traditionally been the number one reporting state for UFO cases in any given month for years – but that status is somewhat misleading when you review populations. There were 33 UFO reports from California in February 2017 – which is  .87 reports per million people. California holds rank as the most populated state – with more than 38 million people.

But during the same month – February – there were 8 reports from Oregon – which equals 2.05 UFO reports for every one million people – from a state with a population of about 3.97 million.  

If you were choosing the best spot to night watch for UFOs – you have nearly 3-1 odds in Oregon over California when you review statistics by population.
​
New Mexico ranks second with only four UFO sightings reported to MUFON in February - that's 1.92 UFO sightings per million people – a more than double the chance of spotting one over California.

A Great Britain witness at Gosport reported watching and videotaping three lights that formed a triangle low in the sky and making random movements before disappearing from view, according to testimony in Case 81450 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness stepped outside at 10:50 p.m. on January 9, 2017, to dispose of rubbish bags in his work as a cleaner.

“I noticed three green lights at around a 30-degree angle northwest of my position,” the witness stated. “Distance and height were too difficult to estimate from my position, but after checking on Google maps there are mostly only fields in that direction. The postcode I observed from was PO13 0HR.”

A California witness at Eureka stepped outside after hearing a loud, jet-like sound, and watched a rectangular-shaped object with odd lighting configuration crossing the sky, according to testimony in Case 81992 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness moved outside at 10:35 p.m. on February 9, 2017, after hearing jet sounds moving overhead.

“I heard a very loud jet, similar to a common commercial jet sound, except it was much louder,” the witness stated. “I went out the back door onto the deck to take a look. At first I couldn't figure out where the sound was coming from. I turned around and scanned the sky behind me toward the east. I then saw what at first I took for a really huge jet, like maybe a military cargo jet, until I realized it couldn't be, as it looked at first like it had two sets of wings stacked one on top of the other like a bi-plane.”

An Irish witness at Galway recalled a UFO incident from 1986 now referred to as the Salthill UFO Sighting, according to testimony in Case 82139 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The events occurred on March 1, 1986.

“One early spring day I walked up a hill on my way to Salthill beach,” the witness stated. “It looked liked it could rain, even though there were patches of blue in the sky. As I examined the clouds, to judge if it would rain soon, a cigar-shaped object appeared in the sky between the roofs of a row of houses. As I continued walking the object moved in the sky relative to the position of the houses on the ground, due to the perspective.”

An oval-shaped object about 1,200 feet long “rose up out of the water” to about 40 feet and then disappeared at an incredible rate of speed into the sky, according to reports from a chief engineer aboard an Offshore Supply Vessel March 21, 2017, 80 miles southeast of New Orleans in the Gulf of Mexico, who filed testimony with the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).

The sighting was reported to NUFORC on March 23, 2017. NUFORC Director Peter Davenport posted the sighting to his website at ufocenter.com and confirmed the sighting Friday evening with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) Director of Communications Roger Marsh.

“I am a Chief Engineer on an Offshore Supply Vessel, and the events I am going to put forward are accurate, to the best of my knowledge,” the witness stated in his report. “Close to 7 p.m. on March 21st, just before dusk, myself and four of the crew members aboard our vessel saw a craft that appeared to be five times our 240-foot vessel in length. My line of sight was about one-quarter mile from our vessel. There was a rig behind the craft about a half-mile. I used this to help gauge the size of the craft. Sighting was approximately 80 miles southeast of New Orleans, Louisiana.

“The scene lasted about 40 seconds. The craft rose up out of the water (Gulf of Mexico) about 40 feet, with no water was dripping from the craft. Within a split second the craft disappeared at a 30-degree angle into the sky. Speed appeared to be faster than the speed of a light turning on in a room. Within seconds it had disappeared completely. I can say for sure that the craft was dark colored, oval in shape and made no sound whatsoever.”
​
Davenport then followed up with the witness by telephone.

A Virginia witness at Alexandria reported watching a large, boomerang-shaped object with five, large, circle-shaped lights underneath crossing the sky silently over 500 feet, but under the cloud cover, according to testimony in Case 82719 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was outside sitting on his apartment deck smoking a cigar at 8:30 p.m. on March 19, 2017, when the incident occurred.

“I was facing in a southern direction, looking at the constellation Orion,” the witness stated. “My eyes were well adjusted to the night sky when some movement below Orion (but much closer my location) caught my eye.”

A New Jersey witness at Lakehurst recalled a 2014 incident where a disc-shaped object the size of a “football field” moved overhead and then quickly moved away, according to testimony in Case 82734 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home from work on December 10, 2014, when the incident began.
​
“At the end of this one long, hilly road, you come to a four way stop,” the witness stated. “Diagonally, there is a large, empty field. And beyond that is the base. Once I got to the stop sign there was another car in front of me and we simultaneously saw something in the sky and hit the brakes immediately in the middle of the road.”

A Louisiana witness at Baton Rouge recalled a UFO encounter from 1965 when a silent, oval-shaped object hovered at the roof top level nearby and then shot away, according to testimony in Case 82063 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was using an emergency scanner his brother brought home from work in October 1965 and was told to climb up on the roof for better reception.
​
“I went outside and climbed up the ladder and got on the rooftop,” the witness stated. “As I sat there listening, I looked up slightly and saw something coming toward me a little to the left of me in the sky.”

A Canadian witness at Bathurst recalled events from 1991 when a “round, white ball, fist sized,” entered her living room at a window and made a clacking sound, according to testimony in Case 82075 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).

The witness stated that the events happened very quickly on November 30, 1991.

“We were sitting in my living room in Bathurst one evening with my three teens and pre-teen daughter watching TV,” the witness stated. “Something - it seemed mechanical – a small, round, white ball, fist sized, with black eyes, or a lens, moved the old plastic vertical blinds we had in those days. Made a clacking noise that both he and I heard. First on the left of the window, then directly in front of where William and I were sitting on the couch, moving the hard, plastic slats twice at the front picture window, slipping into the room; and seemed to maybe take a picture of us.”
