    Think about what language the UFO pop culture is produced in. It’s not that english speakers are more susceptible due to the language itself, but rather, they’ve been consuming media about UFOs in english. Thus the map is effectively a heat map showing the population of english speakers.

    Or do UFOs not cross the Rio Grande? ;)

      So I think you’re missing the point because I agree. The implication is all of these sightings are nonsense/not real, the public is just really susceptible in these areas for the exact reasons you and I are talking about.

      Notice the comment I was initially responding to. It’s the kind of video that would make an english speaker’s imagination run wild
