Louisiana UFO Sightings: Less Than Stellar Numbers | A. Nicole | NewsBreak Original
The skies above the Big Easy seem less trafficked by the unexplained compared to other parts of the country. According to the National UFO Reporting Center, the New Orleans metro area saw only 23 UFO sightings per 100,000 residents between 2000 and 2023. This falls short of the national average of 34.3 sightings for the same period.
Why This Matters
Sightings and discussions of UFOs, or the more recent term UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), are gaining traction. Lawmakers and the public are increasingly pushing for answers.
The National Security Angle
Some view UAPs as a potential threat, fearing they might be experimental aircraft from rival nations like China or Russia. Last year’s incident with a Chinese spy balloon heightened these anxieties.
Breaking the Pilot Silence
Commercial and military pilots more openly discuss their encounters with strange objects in the sky. This is a significant shift from the past when such reports often led to ridicule.
Let’s take a look at a couple of sightings reported to Enigma Labs from Louisiana so far this year.
