Washington State has long been a hub for paranormal activity, with thousands of sightings on record. According to data compiled by the National UFO Reporting Center, Washington ranks second in the U.S. for UAP sightings per capita, with more than 100 reports so far this year alone.
The Evergreen State's fascination with unexplained aerial phenomena dates back to the original "flying saucer" sightings at Mt. Rainier. Since then, government agencies have transitioned to the term UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomenon) over UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) to ease the stigma. Washington has consistently ranked high in national studies of states with the most sightings, with over 7,125 reported sightings since 1974.
Recent developments have sparked renewed interest in UAPs. Former military leaders have testified about secret UAP programs, and the Pentagon has released annual reports on UAP sightings, identifying 21 particularly curious incidents. The All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) has received a total of 1,652 UAP reports as of October 2024, with 485 reports occurring within the latest reporting period.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) has established an Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Records Collection, per the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act. This collection includes records from federal agencies related to UAP investigations, sightings, and reporting.
Washington state continues to be a hotspot for UAP sightings, with local news outlets like KIRO 7 taking viewer videos to experts at the UFO Reporting Center to analyze strange sightings. The state's rich history of UAP sightings and the ongoing public interest ensure that Washington will remain a focal point for those seeking answers about these mysterious phenomena.
