I wonder why UFO sighting reports always come from western rich
countries. Why don't aliens visit third world countries?

the sightings took of after the sf movies about
aliens and ufo's,so it's sheer stupidity if you
ask me...

The movies don't create the experiences, they simply supply a
possible interpretation in line with contemporary scientific
theories and awareness of our place in the Universe.

I'll guess UFOs are seen in all parts of the world, it's just that in
rich countries, people have more cameras and video cameras to record
them with, and the news media report them more, than in 3rd world
countries?
I don't know what the statistical count is?
eg.
Misidentified, terrestrial UFO, outerspace UFO - it may be hard to
separate the later two?

I would think the other problem is in a lot of Third World countries they
often appear to interpret UFO phenomena as a religious experience so in the
West we tend to write off such experiences as delusional or as a result of
mass hysteria. Rather than assume it is the result of people actually seeing
some real phenomena. Even in the West certain incidents of likely UFO
phenomena may have been mis-interpreted in Religious terms. E.G the Fatima
sightings. It is interesting to compare the interpretation of the Fatima
events with the Flatwoods monster event. Which suggests the phenomena is
real, all that differs is the way it's interpreted by those that witness
such things. Of course assuming such phenomena is a result of ET activity is
a more Scientific approach than assuming that it's the Virgin Mary.
