These 10 US states are ‘hotspots’ for alien abduction — and the odds of it happening are higher than you think
In honor of National Alien Abduction Day (yes, that’s a thing) on March 20, online gambling guide casino.ca has named the U.S. states with the highest likelihood of an extraterrestrial kidnapping — finding that California, the home of “ET,” topped the list with 36,286 reported sightings since 1974.
Meanwhile, New York placed 5th for interstellar snatch-and-grabs, perhaps proving that “Men In Black” might not totally be science fiction. Fortunately, xenomorph-phobes can take refuge in Louisiana, which boasted the lowest likelihood of being nabbed, per the spacey study.
There were a total of 182,018 UFO sightings reported across America since 1974, putting the risk of getting taken by ET around 1 in 1,833 (0.0545%) — surprisingly more common than one might think.
For reference, the odds of getting struck by lightning in the US clock in at around 1 in 15,000 while the probability of a shark attack is about 1 in 11.5 million.
Top 10 states with the highest likelihood of an alien abduction
1 California (1 UFO per 1,075 people)
2 Washington (1 per 1093)
3 Florida (1 per 1,144)
4 Oregon (1 per 1,156)
5 New York (1 per 1,301)
6 Texas (1 per 1,370)
7 Pennsylvania (1 per 1,456)
8 Arizona (1 per 1,512)
9 Colorado (1 per 1,715)
10 Nevada (1 per 1,740)
That’s right, the home of notorious Area 51 is only 10th on the list.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
