Colorado among the top ten states with the highest likelihood of an alien abduction

The key to AVOIDING being abducted by aliens might be getting the heck out of Colorado!

Last week we celebrated Alien Abduction Day, which is a thing, so a website put out a list of the states with the highest likelihood of an alien abduction.

To do it, they analyzed data from the National UFO Reporting Center, and other “digital media reports.” They didn’t actually consult with any aliens directly.

In the end, they found that California is the state with the HIGHEST likelihood of being abducted by aliens, with one UFO sighting for every 1,075 people.

Colorado did make the top 10:

2.  Washington

3.  Florida

4.  Oregon

5.  New York

6.  Texas

7.  Pennsylvania

8.  Arizona

9.  Colorado

10.  Nevada, which of course is the home of Area 51.

The states with the LOWEST chance of an alien abduction include many in the South. Maybe they’re turned off by all the hospitality. And grits.

Overall, the chances of an alien abduction might be higher than you’d think. According to this report, the odds of being abducted by aliens in America is approximately 1 in 1,834, which is 0.05%.
