These South Carolina Cities Have The Most UFO Sightings In The State

Sightings of unidentified flying objects — whether you call them UFOs, flying saucers or just a big hoax — have been reported around the country for decades. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of sightings and even reports from the U.S. government seemingly confirming their existence.

While some strange sightings high in the sky could have a logical explanation, such as a shooting star or an airplane passing overhead, other objects in the sky cannot be easily identified.

Using data from the "UFO Sightings Desk Reference, 24/7 Wall St compiled a list of the Top 50 cities in the U.S. that have the most reports of unidentified flying objects, and two towns in the Palmetto State made the cut.
