A new comparative report found Ohioans have a 1.13% chance of being abducted by aliens, with over 4,000 abduction reports since 2019.

Ohio is ranked 21st in the nation for alien abduction odds, according to a report from Canada Sports Betting (CSB) that dove into abduction statistics across North America. According to the report, which considered data from 2019 to 2024, Ohioans have a one in 89 chance of reporting an alien abduction.

With a total population of just under 12 million people, CSB found Ohio has a reported alien abduction for every 11,300 residents. Researchers were clear to note the ranking does not reflect the validity of abduction stories, but instead tracks the frequency of reports.

Colorado has the cattle mutilators.

Abducted by who, Mexicans or Martians?

[BenLurkin]

Cartels. Or the Haitian equivalent.

[rlmorel]

I wondered about all those purported anal probes that seemed to have taken place in Ohio!

Colorado has the cattle mutilators.

And Anal Probes.

Are we talking aliens (ET) call home or hey Pancho get your illegal ass back to Mexico? Asking for my little green friend.

Now I will doubt even more the pollsters’ findings on politics.

How in the world would they gather statistics on something like that?

[Sirius Lee]

They're talking about Mexican aliens.

[Verginius Rufus]

If the aliens are from Proxima Centauri or another nearby solar system, the abductee might have some chance of at least communicating with earthlings later...but further away, not so much.

It’s a WAG is my first thought.

[frank ballenger]

Preposterous findings.

However....Not just aliens....
According to a new survey from Realtor.com, a striking 86% of Americans believe it’s possible that houses can be haunted. 14% do not believe in hauntings.

Up to 40% of Americans report experiencing unexplained, supernatural activity in their homes.

Data analysis in 2015 identified 22,000 single-family homes that matched criteria for potentially being deemed “haunted”.

I’ve been waiting for years...

When 2001 was in production, Stanley Kubrick insured it against the possibility that actual aliens would land on Earth before it's release date.

He got an actual policy against that event from Lloyds of London.

Try “beam me up Snotty” it worked for Mel Brooks

[Nateman]

I hate it when that happens!

[Fai Mao]

Beam me up Scotty. There’s no intelligent life down here

CSB found Ohio has a reported alien abduction for every 11,300 residents

Once again the mainstream media proves why they couldn’t be trusted to make change at a lemonade stand. One in 11,300 is ~0.00885%, not the 1.13% stated in the headline and story. Go back to telling us how we are doomed by global warming Katie and leave the hard math to those with real college degrees and not jernalism (misspelling intended). Ohio University must be so proud!

[Opinionated Blowhard]

But cats in Ohio have a 90% chance of being abducted and eaten by aliens.
