According to a report by the Daily Mail, the U.S. Department of Defense has released a document that outlines the key locations worldwide where UFO sightings have been most prevalent.
This document features a map that highlights regions with the highest recorded incidents of unidentified object sightings, spanning from 1996 to 2023.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, director of the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, stated, “We see these all over the world, and we see these making very interesting apparent manoeuvres.”
As mentioned in the report, the map specifically identifies various regions such as Nagasaki and Hiroshima in Japan, the eastern and western coasts of the United States, and certain areas in the Middle East as primary hotspots for UFO sightings.
The Pentagon has released a new map of UFO hotspots. It turns out that Japan is a major hotspot. Specifically around Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

While UFO sightings are often associated with the United States, the DoD’s map, as reported, indicates that Japan and certain Middle Eastern regions, including Iraq and Syria, also hold significant importance as UFO hotspots.
One noteworthy location in Japan is the small community of Iinomachi in Fukushima Prefecture, affectionately referred to as “UFO Town,” as highlighted in the report.
Embracing its extraterrestrial reputation, this town adorns its streets with alien-themed decorations and proudly markets itself as a hub for enthusiasts of all things related to aliens.
Furthermore, Iinomachi is home to the International UFO Lab, which was established in 2021 by Takeharu Mikami, a well-known advocate for the study of extraterrestrial phenomena.
Earlier this year, the lab garnered attention by showcasing six images depicting potential UFO sightings, as reported by the Japan Times. These images were selected from a pool of 494 reports submitted throughout the year.
In July 2022, the U.S. Office of the Secretary of Defense created the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) with a core mission of examining unidentified flying objects and inexplicable incidents.
As reported by the Daily Mail, the recent launch of the AARO website serves the purpose of offering the public a window into the organization’s endeavors to comprehend and respond to these enigmatic events.
According to the report, the website commits to sharing photos, videos, and details about resolved UAP cases as soon as they undergo declassification and receive approval for public disclosure.
This step towards transparency follows the testimony of David Grusch, a former intelligence official, who appeared before Congress in July and alleged that the Pentagon was concealing evidence concerning extraterrestrial entities.
“My testimony is based on information I’ve been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy,” Grusch testified.
During his congressional testimony, Grusch asserted that he had received photographic proof, official records, and classified verbal accounts related to UFOs from various sources.
Additionally, Grusch alleged that the U.S. government has possession of extraterrestrial craft. However, it’s worth noting that he did not provide any corroborating evidence to support these claims during his appearance before Congress.
Kirkpatrick countered Grusch’s claims regarding covert UFO programs, describing them as “unfounded” and “disparaging.”
