There are a lot of weird sightings in Florida on any given day. But did you know that Florida is a top spot for UFO sightings in October? It is true according to the folks at Travel Lens. Their experts take data from the National UFO Reporting Center to come up with a list of states that are best for alien enthusiasts to visit.

UFOs are unidentified flying objects. However, when authorities dig into the reports they find that many UFOs are actually atmospheric phenomena. Others turn out to be some kind of human technology, or even weird reflections of light. However, other sightings simply can not be explained. It is those unexplained reports that fuel the belief of extraterrestrial life and intelligence. Aliens, in other words.

UFO tracking

John Searle shows the data recording instrument he claims to have recorded unidentified flying objects (UFO) with. This was back in September of 1967. UFO sightings in the United States have a long history. They also stretch from coast to coast.

This data spans a time period of 24 years. A spokesperson from Travel Lens says, “There have been almost 5,000 reports worldwide this year and counting. Which shows that there is still a very clear belief in UFOs.”

The spokesperson went on to say, “It’s definitely worth doing some research and visiting these states if you have a real interest in extraterrestrial life. Even if you don’t, it can be great fun with friends and family to visit new places and explore all they have to offer.”
