According to a report by the National UFO Reporting Center, Florida has more UFO sightings than almost every other state in the U.S. The report, which analyzed data from 1974 to 2021, found that Florida had 7,749 UFO sightings, second only to California.

The report also found that the majority of UFO sightings in Florida occurred in the panhandle and the central part of the state. The most common type of UFO reported was a bright light in the sky, followed by a disc-shaped object.

The reasons for the high number of UFO sightings in Florida are not clear. Some experts believe that the state’s warm climate and clear skies make it a good place to see UFOs. Others believe that the state’s proximity to the Kennedy Space Center may attract UFOs. Whatever the reason, Florida is definitely a state where you might spot a UFO. So keep your eyes peeled!
