According to the map, Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the US' eastern and western coasts, and some areas across the Middle East are considered UFO sighting hotspots.

Another specific Japanese UFO hotspot is a tiny linomachi community within the Fukushima Prefecture. In fact, it has even earned the name "UFO Town," as it has been filled with decorations that have an extraterrestrial theme. It also houses the International UFO Lab, which is a research institute that launched in 2021 and that is directed by Takeharu Mikami, an alien enthusiast.

Just this year, the International UFO Lab unveiled six snaps of phenomena that are likely to be UFOs. These were captured in Fukushima and Kobe, among other areas.

Those who typically link UFO sightings with the US can be surprised by how a Middle Eastern region and Japan are part of the world's UFO hotspots.
