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. 

Various descriptions in the Bible, can be read as UFO sightings and
not religious experience or religious sighting, such as that in
the Book of Ezekiel.
They probably were written that way to start off, but then the
original meaning got lost or confused in intervening centuries, such 
that it's original meaning is lost today.
