华盛顿，蒙大拿，佛蒙特州是UFO目击最多的州

Washington, Montana and Vermont are at the top of a new list for having the most UFO sightings in the US.

华盛顿、蒙大拿和佛蒙特州是美国UFO目击事件最多的州。

Compiling data from the National UFO Reporting Center and the US Census, Satellite Internet issued a report looking at how many sightings there were per 100,000 people, as well as the overall rankings of where people are most likely to spot a UFO.

卫星互联网收集了美国国家UFO报告中心和美国人口普查的数据，发布了一份报告，统计每10万人中有多少人目击了UFO，以及人们最有可能在哪里看到UFO的总体排名。

Washington state tops the list with 5,894 sightings, good for an average of 78.22 per 100,000 people. Far behind in second place is Montana, with 823 reported sightings. Given the state’s significantly smaller population, its average of 77.47 sightings per 100,000 people is just a tick behind Washington. Vermont, Alaska and Maine round out the top 5 with 482 (76.96), 560 (75.94) and 940 (70.23), respectively.

华盛顿州以5894起目击事件位居榜首，平均每10万人中有78.22起目击事件。第二名的蒙大拿总数据远远低于第一名，有823起目击报告。考虑到该州人口明显较少，每10万人中平均有77.47人目击了这一事件，仅略低于华盛顿。佛蒙特州、阿拉斯加州和缅因州分别以482(76.96)、560(75.94)和940(70.23)位居第五。

The report notes it “includes UFO incident reports from Navy pilots and former Pentagon intelligence officers and the release of classified UFO research from the NSA. All of this activity means that for the first time in years, UFO reports are being taken seriously by the media.”

报告指出，“包括来自海军飞行员和前五角大楼情报官员的不明飞行物事件报告，以及来自美国国家安全局的机密UFO研究报告。所有这些意味着多年来第一次，UFO报告被媒体认真对待。”

Perhaps not surprisingly, given the geographical size of these states, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas make up the bottom of the list. Although Texas is the second-most populated state in the country, behind California (which ranks 21st on the list at an average of 34.28 sightings per 100,000), there were only an average of 17.31 reported sightings per 100,000 people.

考虑到这些州的地理面积，阿拉巴马州、密西西比州、乔治亚州、路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州排在最后，这或许并不令人意外。尽管德克萨斯州是美国人口第二多的州，仅次于加利福尼亚州(排名第21位，平均每10万人有34.28起目击事件)，但平均每10万人只有17.31起目击事件。

In total reported UFO sightings, Texas is fourth on the list, behind California (13,559), Alabama (10,882) and Washington.

在报告的UFO目击总数中，德克萨斯州位列第四，仅次于加利福尼亚州(13,559起)、阿拉巴马州(10,882起)和华盛顿州。

The report adds that UFO sightings are “most frequent” during the warmer months, though it was not sure of the reason for that trend. The report’s author suggested it may be because more people are outside in good weather — or a they jokingly suggested, “Aliens go on summer vacations with their kids too.”

报告还说，在温暖的月份里，UFO目击事件是“最频繁的”，尽管还不确定这种趋势的原因。该报告的作者认为，这可能是因为天气好的时候更多的人在户外——或者他们开玩笑地说，“外星人也会和他们的孩子一起去度暑假。”

In 2018, another report, using different methodology, said Wyoming and Vermont offered the best odds of seeing a UFO, at 205-to-1 and 250-to-1, respectively.

2018年，另一份研究报告称，怀俄明州和佛蒙特州看到UFO的几率最高，分别为205比1和250比1。
