UFO Sightings Map:
North America 1958 - 1964
Following the UFO wave of 1957, a drought of sightings ran from
1958 to about 1964. *U* catalogs about 100 events per year
in that period, the lowest being 1963 with only 61.
All seven years are combined on this map.
A thin line of reports seems to hug the entire Gulf Coast. In California, one string runs up US highway 395 along the Nevada border, another runs Northeast from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Previously quiet, activity appears in Western Montana.
The greatest concentration of sightings runs eastward from Illinois to New England.
The spot in Northwest Mexico is near Hermosillo, Sonora, where two engineers saw an intensely blue object hovering low near a mine, at 23:45 hours, 22 March 1959.
