With NASA and the US government recently beginning to show more interest in UFOs and non-human life, there's one area they should take a very close look at.
An odd triangle of land in Alaska has had more paranormal sightings than any other similar-sized piece of land in the world. The sparsely populated area has been a common spot for sightings of UFOs, ghosts and Bigfoot-esque beasts - and has seen over 20,000 people go missing since 1970.
One UFO eyewitness, Wes Smith, says he saw “very strange” triangular objects which didn’t move like any aircraft which he knew of, according to a Discovery Channel documentary. “It’s like everything you’ve ever been taught has gone out of the window, because how is that possible?” he asked of the flying object, which was deadly silent.
Michael Dillon, who lives 11 miles from where Wes saw the UFO, caught his own on camera, showing a light moving across the light sky before shooting straight up at an unbelievable speed. “It was very obvious to me that we were not witnessing a natural phenomenon,” Michael said. “For something to change direction at that speed… a human body would be liquified.”
On top of UFO sightings, the area has more unsolved missing persons cases in this specific region than anywhere on Earth according to the History Channel. Since 1970, there have been over 20,000 disappearances in the area between Anchorage and Juneau in the south to Utqiagvik on the northern coast, according to the Daily Star.

Rescue workers have reported phantom sounds along with feeling light-headed and disoriented when searching for missing persons.
Whether some unknown physical phenomenon is responsible for the lights in Alaska's night sky remains a mystery. UFO expert Debbie Ziegelmeyer believes that Alaska is ”attractive” to alien visitors because it’s so sparsely populated. “They can pretty much go where they want,” said Debbie, who is the Star Team Investigator for UFO research organisation MUFON. “That’s the attraction of Alaska.”
Rance Lentz, 41, took an interest in UFO research after an eerie alien experience when he was still a schoolboy. But a later career in the US military gave him a fresh insight into the phenomenon. “There are definitely more sightings when there’s heavy, heavy testing,” he said. “Folks on the tests see different lights… and different things off on the horizon.”

Some believe that US military officials might know all about the UFO presence on their test ranges. Hypnotherapist and paranormal researcher Jonny Enoch said there’s “clearly” something strange going on in the "Alaska Triangle". He speculates that senior figures within the US military are secretly in contact with whoever – or whatever – is piloting the mystery craft.
While aliens have been blamed for the disproportionate number of missing persons reports in the Alaska Triangle, some paranormal experts think there could be a quite different explanation. Cryptozoologist Cliff Barackman says “anything, of any size,” could be hiding in the Alaskan wilderness. “With so much fantastic habitat and so few people to compete with, Sasquatches basically have the run of Alaska”.

Of course, the inhospitable terrain, and the unpredictable weather, could be the simplest explanation. But with so many of those people missing, never to be seen again, it’s undeniable that there is a mystery to be solved in the Alaska Triangle.
