Why Is Illinois a Hotbed of UFO Sightings?
Is it because of O’Hare? Asian lanterns? Hallucinations due to overripe Chicago hotdogs?
Chicago conspiracy theorists are going to have a field day with this one: a dynamite map of UFO sightings.
Made by New York’s Max Galka, it presents more than 90,000 reports of paranormal activity in the United States dating back to 1905. (And here’s every sighting since 1933, mapped, in case you’re curious.) Smack dab over Illinois is a dense zone of unexplained encounters, plotted in bright-jade blobs like arterial spray from the Predator.
