But in a possible bid for transparency, the Department of Defense has released a new document disclosing the 'world's UFO hotspots'. It includes a map disclosing where the most sightings of unidentified objects have been recorded, based on reports between 1996 and 2023.
The map reveals Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, the east and west coasts of the US including California, as well as parts of the Middle East are all hotspots for UFO sightings.
Revealing that Japan and a region of the Middle East – including Iraq and Syria – are UFO hotspots may surprise enthusiasts who commonly associate sightings with the US.
In particular, the map identifies a region in the south-west of the country, covering the cities of Nagasaki and Hiroshima – which were famously the targets of US nuclear strikes in 1945.
Another one of the Japanese hotspots is the small community of Iinomachi in Fukushima Prefecture, which has been referred to as 'UFO Town'.

The Pentagon? Did they get Trump back in just to design this?
Why is Livingston, Scotland not on this? There are a few UK hotspots missing.

Does anyone believe this is a map from the Pentagon ?
The map looks more like a 12 year old made it .
And , it is The Daily Mail.

These "UFO maps" just show where there is high people density atlas more reports.
There could be a alien city inside the earth or in the middle of Alaska wildlands as far as speculation goes.
This new government information and simplified map — part of the Defense Department’s freshly unveiled, online “unidentified anomalous phenomena” reporting system — highlights southern Japan as one of Earth’s most popular regions where UFOs have been sighted.
Since 2020, the Japanese military has also been instructed to take photos and record all that is inexplicable in the skies.
Japan’s most popular sighting areas throughout the island nation all have one distinct commonality: a major nuclear incident.
The map’s hot spot includes the greater regions around Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the two cities where American forces detonated the atom bombs that ended World War II in 1945.

There is a much better map of UFO sightings here : UPDB UFO Sightings Map
You can drill right down to individual towns and read the reports.
This probably cost a millionth of what the Pentagon spent.
