Florida's UFO Activity and Its Place in a National 'Alien Survival Score' Ranking

To the point

Florida shows ongoing UFO activity, including an object near Green Cove Springs possibly tied to Naval Air Station Jacksonville training, with 8,623 reports since 1944 and 34 sightings this month (many explained as drones, a rocket, or a Chinese lantern), while nationally there were 757 new reports between May 2023 and June 2024; a playful GIGAcalculator “Alien Survival Score” ranks states from Virginia first to Nevada last, with Florida sixth, and Florida’s score reflects factors like 12 caves, 0.51% forest cover, 0.19% water, and per‑1,000 rates for military, law enforcement, scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals; the top ten continues through Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alaska and Georgia, with Nevada last due to scarce hiding places; NUFORC invites sightings reports at its website or 206-722-3000, noting common misidentifications such as Venus, Jupiter, Starlink satellites, or camera artifacts, and the discussion links everyday sightings to playful questions about which states could best endure an extraterrestrial invasion.
