A recent study from the Pew Research Center finds a majority of Americans believe aliens exist. Roughly 65% of the population believe in intelligent life on other planets while just 11% of Americans don’t believe in aliens at all.

Interestingly, one in 10 Americans believe UFOs are a major threat to our national security.

Whether or not a conquering spacefaring force is heading for us has yet to be seen or even proven.

But if there truly are aliens floating across American airspace, where are they visiting most?

A new study from BetUS looked into the number of UFO sightings and where the most reports originated. Shockingly, New York beat Nevada and New Mexico in the roundup.

The study said New York City has reported the second-most UFO sightings, with 313 people seeing something unusual in their skies over the past 11 years. Because of this, NYC was ranked the 2nd best city to see a UFO.

Maybe there’s a real good reason why Men in Black was based in NYC.
