The key to AVOIDING being abducted by aliens might be, “Southern Hospitality.”
Yesterday was Alien Abduction Day, which is a thing, so a website put out a list of the states with the highest likelihood of an alien abduction.
To do it, they analyzed data from the National UFO Reporting Center, and other “digital media reports.” They didn’t actually consult with any aliens directly. (???)
In the end, they found that California is the state with the HIGHEST likelihood of being abducted by aliens, with one UFO sighting for every 1,075 people.
Here’s the rest of the Top 10:
2. Washington
3. Florida
4. Oregon – So, the Pacific Coast is fully represented.
5. New York
6. Texas
7. Pennsylvania
8. Arizona
9. Colorado
10. Nevada, which of course is the home of Area 51.
The states with the LOWEST chance of an alien abduction include many in the South. Maybe they’re turned off by all the hospitality. And grits.
The bottom 10 are: Louisiana, which was dead last with just one UFO sighting per 3,815 people. Then Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee, Illinois, North Carolina, and North Dakota.
Overall, the chances of an alien abduction might be higher than you’d think. According to this report, the odds of being abducted by aliens in America is approximately 1 in 1,834, which is 0.05%.
