Researchers at online calculator site GIGAcalculator have run the numbers. They looked at population and population density, the number of UFO sightings, the average duration, how many caves each state had, how much area was covered by forests or water, the available military and law enforcement as well as the number of scientists, engineers and healthcare professionals and number of food and beverage manufacturing companies to produce an Alien Survival Score from 0-10.

California ranks first, with 16,735. That is almost twice as many as the second-place state, Florida, which has 8,624 reported sightings.

Aliens might be drawn to Michigan for several reasons, including its abundant resources, vast water systems, and unique geological features. Plus our local sports teams are more fun to watch. Trust me once they try Detroit style pizza or some Coney dogs. They will love us even more.
And the reason must be all the great music coming out of Michigan for so many years. Heck do you really think they would love Ohio?
