The number of UFO sightings in New York doubled last year. This is especially the case in the Hudson River Valley, which has long been at the forefront of UFO sightings. The National UFO Reporting Center recorded 2020 sightings in New York in 300, up from about 150 in the previous year. More than 7 UFO sightings were reported nationwide, 200 more than in 1, NY reports Times.

Observations were so common that UFO enthusiasts claim they had to give up local UFO encounters. Virginia "Cookie" Stringfellow, 75, shared her story of being abducted by aliens in Ontario, New York. He now says that people from other cities come in droves to the meeting.

"I have to turn people down," said the 75-year-old Stringfellow.

Since she was abducted by extraterrestrial beings from her garden near Rochester, New York, Virginia Stringfellow has told her story mostly in a small community of people who claim to have encountered UFOs. From The New York Times:

With the increase in free time during the pandemic, the number of UFO sightings increased sharply.

Higher number of sky watching eyes

Ufologists suggest that the dramatic increase is probably not due to an increase in the number of UFOs, but to more eyes looking into the night sky. The increase in the number of sightings coincided with March and April last year, when the strictest lockdowns were introduced. During the coronavirus era, New Yorkers moved to the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and Adirondacks. Where there is much less light pollution, they can better observe the sky and notice moving lights and objects.

Chris DePerno, deputy director of the Mutual UFO Network in New York State, said immigrants from the city reported acrobatic flights of flying machines. DePerno is a retired police detective.

"They're flying towards the Hudson Valley. It's beautiful up there, you have a clear sky, and then all of a sudden you see things rushing across the sky, suddenly stop, fly straight up, take off again, stop, come back - we're talking about incredible speeds here, "said Mr DePerno.

When more people are at home, there is more time to think together about what is happening in the sky.

The number of UFO sightings in 2020 skyrocketed during lockdowns.

Most UFOs have been identified

Although UFO sightings have increased significantly, Director of the National Center for UFO Reporting (NUFORC) Peter Davenport says most of them can be attributed to ordinary things such as:

  • Drony
  • Ptáci
  • Bats
  • Satellites
  • Aircraft
  • Hovercrafts

In several cases, UFOs remain unidentified. Even with the increased number of reports, the proportion of unidentified objects is maintained, says Davenport.

2020: Year of the UFO

George Knapp, a well-known journalist who often writes about UFOs, said: "The year of the pandemic was also the year of UFOs." "

The UFO Sightings Desk Reference records a nationwide increase in the number of reports during a pandemic. Surprisingly, the data include UFO sightings broken down by cities, districts, states, shapes, types, sizes, times of day and other parameters. As expected, in March and April 2020 the observations were the most - 1305, respectively. 1603

Cost described in detail the American cities where the number of observations was highest.

“The city of Phoenix comes first. For the second year in a row. New York is in second place, "said Cost. "I never counted just five New York boroughs, I took entire districts. Now we count them as the whole city. Las Vegas is in third place in terms of sightings. Los Angeles on the fourth. Number six is ​​Portland, number ten is San Diego. Houston is eleventh, Albuquerque thirteenth. Sacramento is in 21st place. In 23rd place is San Francisco. Fresno is in 43rd place. And Lubbock is in 75th place. "

Interestingly, UFO reports such as triangles, cylinders, elongated shapes, and fireballs have decreased. However, the number of UFOs "circular, round, changing, disc-shaped, tic tac UFOs, teardrops and Saturn-type UFOs" has increased. Surprisingly, she also found seasonal fluctuations in reports of various UFO shapes, which she notes may not necessarily be extraterrestrial spacecraft.

TikTokok UFO videos

Along with the increase in the number of UFO reports nationwide, there has also been a trend to publish UFO videos on the TikToku short video application. In September 2020, these videos were especially popular, reaching millions of views and appearing in For You users' suggestions.

In this video @withinthewild captures a group of people watching and pointing to a UFO glittering in the sky.

At least in two videos on TikToku people also saw multicolored UFOs near Boston.

In another recording, shanabran shared a video about a UFO that he said had "just landed next to his job" near Boston.

People report sightings more and more often

Unlike in the past, more people are likely to report watching UFOs. In the past, they were mostly ridiculed, but now the topic is no longer so taboo. After the Pentagon declassified videos of unidentified air phenomena (UAPs) observed by Navy pilots, UFOs became the subject of major reports.

Stringfellow says the reports gave people the courage to talk about their discoveries.

"Thanks to the Pentagon's release of information, more news is coming and more," Stringfellow said. "People are no longer so reluctant to say, 'Jesus, now I've been in the woods or by the lake and this thing has come in.'"

Former Director of National Intelligence (DNI) John Ratcliffe recently appeared on Fox News, suggesting that a UFO was observed crossing a sound barrier without a sonic bang. In addition, he made it clear that observations are more frequent than previously reported.

In the meantime, a report on the UAP is to be published, which is the joint work of the current Minister of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence. The details of the report should reveal a detailed analysis of data on unidentified phenomena from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Pentagon, the FBI and other intelligence agencies. The topic of UFOs seems to have gained considerable credibility, resulting in less social stigma for those who have encountered these phenomena. Davenport says the change encourages him.

"For many of us in ufology, it is encouraging that the government is willing to confirm that it is aware of these circumstances, that it admits that people are reporting these events," Davenport said. It used to seem like the government thought, "that people like me are just crazy - but we're not."

Most Americans believe in intelligent aliens

A 2020 Ipsos survey found that "less than half of Americans believe that UFOs exist and have visited Earth." The results showed that humans are divided regardless of age in view of the existence of aliens. In a related survey, Ipsos found that the majority of Americans (57%) think that there is intelligent life and civilization on other planets. However, only 45% believe in the existence of UFOs that have visited Earth.

Belief in UFOs and alien abductions is so widespread that a Florida company, The St. By 2019, the Lawrence Agency had sold 6 "alien abduction" insurance policies. In the UK, the British company Grip had sold more than 000 such policies by the year 2000.

In 2017, the media reported that a several thousand-year-old human-like mummy was found near Nazca, Peru, with an unusually elongated skull, three fingers and three toes. A metal plate was implanted in this creature near the cervical vertebrae during her lifetime.

Scientists from universities in Colored, New York and St. Petersburg, the forensic institute in Mexico City and other researchers have confirmed that he is not a creature from our planet.
