The National UFO ALERT Rating System has been
updated for February 2014, with California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Oregon and
Washington moving to aUFO Alert 3 as the highest
reporting states with 25 or more cases during the month of January 2014, filed
with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
California was the leading
high-reporting state in January with 102 cases, up from 68 December cases, 56
November cases, 77 October cases, 70 September cases, 97 August cases, 91 July
cases, 72 June cases, 67 May cases, 47 April cases, 59 March cases, 53 February
cases and 63 January cases.
Those states in a UFO Alert 4
category with 13 or more reports include: New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania,
Missouri, Georgia, North Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, South Carolina, Virginia
and New Jersey.
All other states move to a UFO
Alert 5 category with lower numbers of UFO activity. The Watch States - with 10
or more cases - are Ohio, Oklahoma and Massachusetts.
MUFON released January
statistics February 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings is
listed by state. The UFO Examiner uses these statistics to rate states. The
entire country was moved back to the lowest alert level - UFO Alert 5.
California takes the lead with
102 cases; Texas, 51; Florida, 49; Arizona, 32; Oregon, 28; and Washington, 27.
Those states with 13 or more
reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Michigan, 23;
Pennsylvania, 20; Missouri, 19; Georgia, 18; North Carolina, 17; Colorado, 16;
Illinois, 15; South Carolina, 15; Virginia, 13; and New Jersey, 13.
Our Watch States this month
are - with 10 reports or more: Ohio, 12; Oklahoma, 10; and Massachusetts, 10.
The sphere remains the
most-reported UFO shape with 240 cases, up from 141 December cases, November
cases, 195 October reports, 211 September reports; 282 August reports, 269 July
reports, 240 June reports, 187 May reports, 144 April reports, 124 March

The object's distance from the

feet to one mile, 188 cases; over one mile, 183 cases; unknown, 234; and no
value stated, 28.
In addition, there were
"26 landings, hovering, or takeoffs reported and 0 entity observed."
The most interesting UFO
reports do not necessarily come from high reporting states - but those states
with higher numbers do account for some of the most interesting evidence to
study. While UFO sightings seem to pop up randomly around the country, this
list is meant to offer a small insight into where Americans are filing reports.
