This map is interesting. I wonder what why there is more of a culture of reporting and/or realising reports of ufos in anglo countries. Probably some psyop.
It's not even a mystery. UFO sightings and close encounters (understood to be extraterrestrials) were a creation of, and now a cultural relic of, the Cold War. UFO Sightings massively proliferated in the 1950s; the famous Betty and Barney Hill abduction, the first major reported such incident, wasn't until 1961.
The real interesting bit is how close encounter narratives shifted to parrallel increasing US / USSR hostility. Early close encounter stories from the 60s had the aliens be peaceful and kind who would give contactees a tour of their spaceship. By the late 70s-80s that shifts to the Fire in The Sky style narrative where the aliens are forceful kidnappers who physically and sexually assault terrified abductees.
Probably a lot. When I was a kid i saw a strange light in the sky that just hovered there and I started thinking it was a UFO or something. It turned out it was a jet flying straight towards my location, and veered off after about a half hour at which point I could see the tail light. I imagine a light in the distance my produce the same effect in the right situation if you weren't used to seeing that. People also just like to lie about this kind of stuff for fun.
I suppose we'll never know for sure but personally I doubt the CIA had anything to do with the Hill abduction. They were driving late at night and Betty's later recollection of the aliens was similar to depictions of aliens in the contemporary Outer Limits show. I'd chalk it up to sleep deprivation and strange dreams.
There was an episode of a UFO TV show about an abduction and thr guy said he called the cops afterward and they took him to thr nearby Navy base for questioning. Sounds like a post-experiment psychoanalysis lol.
Anglos misinterpret the mysteries and wonders of nature as advanced space aliens because of their obsession with technological development to secure their own supremacy, very unenlightened.
Dissociative Identity Disorder (split personalities) also seems to be an entirely American phenomenon.
The idea that Dissociative Identity Disorder is unique to the USA, the west, or developed countries is outdated. People with DID are found at similar rates throughout the globe. However, the presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of psychiatric disorders is influenced by society and culture - one person's demonic possession is another's split personality.
DID is definitely real and a pretty normal reaction to extreme childhood trauma. If it's more prevalent in the anglosphere it's because :lmayo:s are sexually terrorizing kids more frequently.
Are you seriously implying Dissociative Identity Disorder isn't real to own the Anglos? Genuinely and sincerely go fuck yourself. :PIGPOOPBALLS:
I can't believe im seeing something like this on this site its a like parody genuinely something I'd expect from a patsoc. Jesus christ.
Edit: The fact that you also refered to it as "split personalitys" The levels of ableist brainworms on display.

I think you need to expand that to at least western. It might be called something different outside of America as many other countries use different systems to classify conditions but split personalities occur outside of the US as well.
I feel like it's because there's no underlying culture to explain it - where someone in other countries might interpret an alien through folklore (or conversely, what we see as aliens are in fact the folkloric figure, either way), :lmayo: s don't have that so it gets bucketed in their minds as an "alien" because that's all we got in a larger sense.
I can't believe nobody's mentioned this yet, but one major reason for the proliferation of UFO culture is literally a psyop. The CIA were testing the U2 spy plane in Area 51 in the 50s, and not only lied about sightings of their spy plane in order to cover it up, but gaslit certain prolific early UFO truthers in order to discredit everyone who was looking up and cataloguing every strange thing they saw. Some UFO sightings predate this - the CIA didn't invent the idea they just pumped it - but the sightings that are directly related to the U2's development turned it from an occasional thing that happened into an entire American subculture.

That’s because the US likes to fly dangerous black op aircrafts in populated areas and carry out human experiments on citizens.
:ayeaye: :cia:

There are a few reported "Mystery airship" sightings from the late 1800's.
Very interesting. I wonder what role the proliferation of electric lighting had to do with that.

Suddenly remembering that story about that family in Kentucky that spent all night firing shotguns out their windows and then said they'd been fighting off the greys.

These are both outdated.

Probably to do with all the media about it, would explain why countries like South Africa and Australia appear on here, access to all the UFO flicks

My pagan ass genuinely thinks alien sightings are just the fae lol
Cause others don’t read american crap, so don’t jump to :posad: when they see car in the night
I think you are underestimating the reach of the American empire's media.
we're all living in amerika
