UFO Map: North America 1948-1949
Hidden between the UFO Waves of 1947 and 1950, are the almost forgotten years 1948 and 1949. This is no surprise, sightings counts for 48 and 49 are about one fifth as many.Borders and coastlines are darkened here to highlight the sightings which did happen in those two slow years.
Compared to 1947, vast areas of the great plains show hardly any sightings, Canada virtually none. Only Ohio kept up the pace, while several states show no sightings at all.
The one Mexican sighting shown was of 5 metallic disks flying Northwest over the port town of Yavaras on the Sea of Cortez. Witnesses included an airliner crew and passengers.
