It occurred to me while reading about UFO whistleblower news. Why do the majority of UFO things occur in the United States rather than Russia, China, and other countries?

Edit: Thank you all for answers, they’re really helpful.

    Blame the science fiction magazines from the 50’s and 60’s. It really was a good time for scifi: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K Dick, Robert A Heinlein, Frank Herbert.

      Sure — also L. Ron Hubbard, John W. Campbell, and many others who got involved personally in weird shit & pseudoscience of one sort or another.
