Have you ever seen a UFO? If so, you are not alone. Pennsylvania ranks 7 out of 10 for the top states where people report UFO sightings, writes Carl Borg for Outforia. 

While extraterrestrial life and/or visitations may be unexplained, people will still look at the stars to find answers.  

If you want to get a jump on UFO sightings, PA is one of the places to check off your list. Data compiled from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) showed which states have the most UFO sightings, and what kinds of appearances people report. 

There are numerous types of visual phenomena, with the most popular being light. UFO light appearances make up 27,760 of all the reports.

“Some skeptics have suggested that these lights are passing planes or satellites…[but] these reports are for bright lights that don’t make conventional sense given what we know about the weather and human technology,” wrote Borg.

Additional unnatural appearances include fireballs, disks, circles, etc. 

So far, more than 4,592 unidentified mysteries have been reported by Pennsylvanians, which is about 35.3 occurrences per every 100,000 people.  

Residents all over the state report on the NUFORC website, writing small summaries of their UFO sighting, the area, data, and what shape it was. Sightings from more populated areas like PA also contribute to the number of UFOs per state.
