So not saying I necessarily believe (but "I want to believe") the argument could be the US has better airspace monitoring than other countries and more ability to publish and disseminate information.

If a UFO lands in the middle of.the Congo whose going to know or be aware. The other alternative if Russia which is similarly sized and equipped but they tend to be pretty cagey sharing information.

So it ends up being the US not because they only land there but because they have the combination of obsessively watching the skies with the ability to share their information and the freedom to do so.




The "US tech is light years ahead" is nonsense when this time around the story is that the US has an ultra secret UFO retrieval agency. How is it possible that no UFO has crashed outside the US jurisdiction, where they can't send their MIB in 2 hours?

Also, I'd like to remind Americans that we're not caveman here. We do have radar and jets flying and cameraphones.

The problem is that if you want to believe, you're ready to throw any kind of common sense and elementary logic out the window. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof and this ain't it.
