The reason California reports more sightings is because Area 51 pilots like to test the experimental craft over us.
Not throwing stones - just do not have data on USSR-WA UFO sightings. Would not be surprised if we have more UFO sightings per capita up here since the place is filled with aliens, aka “Democrats,” “liberals,” “socialists,” “communists.” All you need to do is look at the psychos that Seattle elects to its city council. Unreal.
