Strange Lights Over Tri-Cities? WA Ranks #2

I'm sure the best places to catch a UFO sighting in the Tri-Cities could be Badger Mountain, Candy Mountain, or Jump Off Joe, but overall, Washington State ranks #2 for UFO activity.

New Data: WA Is #2 for Reported Alien Encounters

In a recent survey, it should come as no surprise that the Evergreen State is a hotbed of UFO activity.

WA Among Nation’s Top Alien Abduction Hotspots

The new survey by Casino.ca updates its annual rankings by analyzing over 150,000 UFO sighting reports from the National UFO Reporting Center (1974-2026), alongside current social media data, to reveal which US states have the highest likelihood of alien abduction.

Some key Washington findings:

Washington ranked the #2 US state where you’re most likely to be abducted by aliens

The state has dropped from #1 in last year’s rankings

7,973 UFO sightings have been reported in Washington

The odds of being abducted by aliens in the state are 1 in 977

Ironically, Alien Abduction Day is this Friday, so I'm thinking we all should head up to Badger Mountain for a zap zap to the top of a UFO.

Washington State did lose its #1 spot to Delaware last year, and it does seem to make sense since all of our politicians are there - see where I went with that?
