Pandemic Causes Rise in 2020 UFO Sightings Across New York, Particularly in Rochester
In the past year, there have been over 150 reported UFO sightings across New York State with Rochester leading the way in increased reporting.
2020 was one of the strangest, if not strangest, years we have lived through. Making 2020 even stranger, or out of this world, is the fact that UFO sightings nearly doubled in New York in 2020, according to Upstate New York.
The website looked in the National UFO Reporting Center's database. The National UFO Reporting Center has a database of reports from people who report seeing a UFO. The National UFO Reporting Center says it tries to not include "obvious hoaxes."
In 2020, there were three reported UFO sightings in Kingston and three other reported sightings in Carmel. There was also at least one reported sighting in Hyde Park, Marlboro, Plattekill and Woodstock.
