The National UFO ALERT Rating system has been updated June 1, 2011, with California and Texas retaining a UFO Alert 3 as the two highest reporting states during the month of May 2011, filed with the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, Indiana, New York, Tennessee, and Florida were placed in a UFO Alert 4 with 13 or more cases reported in May. Missouri, Arizona, and Pennsylvania have been designated “Watch States” – each with 11 or more cases.
MUFON released May statistics June 1, where the total number of reported UFO sightings are 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 was the leading UFO report state again this month – with 55 cases – up from 46 last month – and remains in the UFO Alert 3 status with Texas, 21 reports – down from 24 reports last month.

Those states with 13 or more reports, the next reporting tier level, are a UFO Alert 4 status: Illinois, 17; Michigan, 17; Colorado, 14; Indiana, 13; New York, 13; Tennessee, 13; and Florida, 13.
While all other states move to a UFO Alert 5 status, we are also moving the following states into our Watch Group: Missouri, 12; Arizona, 11; and Pennsylvania, 11 reports.
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.
