    I wonder if this map just has darker colors for (some of) the low population density areas. If there are only 5 people in a zone, and one is a kook who sees ufos, that’s 20% of the population in that region who have spotted a ufo! The zone next to it with 5 people has a kook who maybe believes in werewolves, so they get a light square on this map.

      Yeah it’s not adjusted per capita. About as dumb as the map showing UFO sightings mainly in US because they used US statistics.
