The third best place to visit to catch a possible glimpse of a UFO is Washington. The Evergreen State has amassed a jaw-dropping 6,885 UFO reports in recorded history.
Texas is the fourth best state to go in the search for extraterrestrial life with 5,805 reports and New York follows closely behind with 5,618 reports.
East coasters may also want to pay a visit to Pennsylvania as it is the sixth most prominent state in the country for experiencing the unknown; there have been 4,769 UFO reports over the last few decades.
Arizona, Ohio, and Illinois have gathered just over 13,000 reports from the public over the years placing them in the top ten states to visit.
Michigan also makes its way into the top ten US states to spot alien life with people reporting UFOs 3,485 times.
A spokesperson for Travel Lens said: “It may come as a surprise to some that California takes the top spot by some distance when it comes to the number of UFO reports.
“There have been almost 5,000 reports worldwide this year and counting, which shows that there is still a very clear belief in UFOs.
“Now, we’re not saying that if you visit these states it’s guaranteed you’ll catch an alien in the flesh. But the numbers show us that the states in the top ten are yielding a huge number of sightings year after year.
“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.”
The study was conducted by Travel Lens, an online travel publication providing high-quality travel articles about worldwide destinations, the best hotels, restaurants, cafes, bars, and many more.
