0:02 So if aliens are real, space aliens, they must really like American culture. A recent poll found the United States is the UFO hotspot of the entire world. And the runner-up isn't even close. A staggering 92% of all reported UFO sightings take place in the U.S. Which state is home to the UFO Welcome Center? South Carolina or Louisiana? South Carolina. And you are both right. A guy named Joe set it up on a freeway, 25 years, still no alien arrivals. There have been a spike in UFO sightings in recent years, too, which may or may not be linked to the U.S. Navy releasing videos like this one. An official who studied the sightings for the British government says that the increase could be genuine. But it could also be linked to a decrease in the stigma. With the fear of being ridiculed gone, more people are starting to come forward. A professor at Stanford University says he's 100% sure that extraterrestrials have not only visited Earth, but have been here for a long time and may even still be on the planet today.

I asked him straight up, you believe in aliens and other things? He said, look, I'm not naive to think that. That there aren't other things out there. Listen, our galaxy is stuffed with planets. Yes, the reality is that there's probably something else out living there.

It's a chance for believers to talk about Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts. It's hard for people to understand that and wrap their minds around it. Same way with ghosts, UFOs. It's all it's unexplained, even though there are many TV shows, many books about it. No one can explain it fully. And that's what draws some people like myself. They'll just wrapped up its 23rd annual UFO fest. People came dressed in their out of this world costumes and attire. They enjoyed live music, food, games and guest speakers who are involved in all things alien, like film directors and investigative authors. The festival was founded as a way to honor the famous 1950 UFO sighting in the area by a farming couple named Paul and Evelyn Trent.
