Where Americans will be safest during an alien invasion, revealed in a new poll
A study has found that US states are the safest places to hide if aliens invade Earth.
The analysis couldn’t come at a better time, as public concern over the threat of alien invasion has skyrocketed.
“Gone are the days when it was considered part fringe, part science fiction and part conspiracy theory,” says former UFO researcher Nick Pope of the British Ministry of Defense.
“UFOs are now being treated as a defense and national security issue, discussed in the US Congress and attracting the attention of the head of NASA.”
Nearly two-thirds of Americans now believe that aliens exist, and roughly a third consider UFO sightings as evidence – a significant increase from 20 percent in 1996.
And Internet searches for “what would happen if aliens came to Earth” have increased by 2,850 percent in recent months.
Security officials are also preparing for an extraterrestrial emergency. In June, the first-ever police manual on UFOs was released, providing guidance for law enforcement agencies on how to respond to unidentified anomalous phenomena.
If you’re wondering where to run when aliens attack, this research should point you in the right direction.
A study has found that US states are the safest places to hide if aliens invade
Rant Casino obtained data on the number of UFO sightings and the average duration of ‘UFO visits’ from the National UFO Reporting Center Database and aggregated it by US state.
The number of sightings could indicate that aliens are planning the invasion, and so the number and duration of sightings in each state could be correlated with the likelihood of an invasion starting there.
Therefore, states with the lowest number of UFO sightings were rated as safest.
Furthermore, hiding is one of the first things humans must do to survive an alien attack.
Therefore, Rant Casino decided that states with lower population densities might be safer during an invasion, as they would provide more space for people to take cover, evacuate, or organize a counterattack.
This means that rural states or states with large uninhabited areas were given an advantage over more populous states.
Each state was given a score on the alien survival index scale from zero to ten.
Virginia came out on top as the safest US state to flee to during an alien invasion, with a score of 8.03 out of 10.
The state most likely to survive an alien invasion was Virginia, and the least likely state was Nevada
This state has the highest military presence per capita in the country, meaning it would be well equipped to defend itself against alien invaders.
Moreover, the state’s landscape features a number of strong natural defenses, including 29 caves and 63 percent forest cover, which could make it easier to hide from the threat from the air.
Alabama came in second, scoring 7.9 out of 10.
This state is home to 35 caves and the highest forest cover among the safest states. The country also has a strong law enforcement presence per capita, positioning the country well for coordinated defense efforts.
Furthermore, the relatively low number of UFO sightings in Alabama (2.76 per 10,000 people) suggests that aliens are not eyeing this state for possible invasion.
The rest of the top 10 safest states, ranked in order from most safe to least safe, were Minnesota, Massachusetts, New York, Florida, Wisconsin, North Carolina, Alaska and Georgia.
As for the states least likely to survive an alien invasion, it should come as no surprise that Nevada ranked number one with a score of 5.31 out of 10.
This state, home to the infamous Area 51, has a high UFO sighting rate of 5.41 per 10,000 residents.
Nevada is also largely desert. The lack of natural cover and water sources would make it a challenging place to hide if aliens invade.
Idaho was ranked as the second most vulnerable state in part because of its remarkably high rate of UFO sightings: 6.95 per 10,000 residents.
In addition, this state has the lowest healthcare workforce per capita in the country, and only the lowest healthcare workforce per capita, which would make it difficult to treat people injured in a violent alien attack.
The rest of the top 10 most vulnerable states, ranked in order from most vulnerable to least vulnerable, were Arizona, Nebraska, Oregon, Utah, Oklahoma, New Hampshire, South Carolina and Wyoming.
