UFOs and the Indian Ocean
The nearly complete absence of UFO reports on this map of the Indian Ocean is not so strange. Most air and marine traffic stays close to the northern shores.Infrastructure and language barriers make comprehensive listings all but impossible.
One notable exception is the French overseas territory of Reunion Island, the bright spot east of Madagascar. Reunion sightings were reported in Phenomena Spatiaux Quarterly, LDLN, FSR, local newspapers (Journal de l'Ile) and the writings of Bourret and Olsen among others.
There are some sightings close to Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand, site of the terrible earthquake and tsunami of Christmas 2004, but no direct connection is presumed.
UFO Sightings are shown for all years.
