Why Montana Skies Might Be A UFO Hotspot

People all across America have claimed to have seen UFOs in the sky.

Right here in Montana, we've even got plenty of residents who have also said they've seen alien ships flying around our Big Sky.

Are Aliens Watching Big Sky Country From Above?

I can't definitively say there is life on other planets or in other solar systems, but I believe the possibility is not exactly zero.

During high school, a group of us believed we saw a UFO; it turned out to be just spotlights from a neighboring town's casino grand opening. However, for a few hours, our world felt completely turned upside down.

The same could be said for the residents of the towns on our list that have reported the highest number of UFO sightings. Honestly, I was taken aback by how many sightings the number one city has.

The Alien Encounters That Changed Great Falls Forever

Great Falls, which does not have the most UFO sightings, has had a couple of the most famous, however.

In March 1967, Robert Salas, who was a missileer at Malmstrom Air Force Base, claimed to have seen a UFO and then was forced to sign an NDA the next day.

Then there was Nicholas "Nick" Mariana, who was a baseball coach for the Great Falls Electrics, who in August of 1950 claimed to have seen "two spinning objects approaching at a seemingly high speed."

This sighting became the basis of the baseball team's new nickname, the "Voyagers," complete with an alien mascot.

So while Montana might not be Area 51 when it comes to alien activity, there have been plenty of sightings in the Treasure State, as you'll see in the gallery below.
