Houston Tops the List for UFO Sightings in Texas—Here’s Why

If there’s one Texas city where you’re most likely to see something weird in the sky, it’s Houston. And honestly, it makes sense.

Why do UFOs love Houston so much?

First off, there’s just a ton of people here—over 7 million. More people = more eyes on the sky = more “What in the world is that?!” moments.

Then there’s NASA’s Johnson Space Center. When you live near a place that’s all about space, it kinda makes you more tuned in to what’s flying around up there. Houstonians are just more likely to spot something out of the ordinary and actually know it’s out of the ordinary.

• City lights and airplanes: Houston has a lot of light pollution, which makes it harder to see stars. Airplanes also fly a lot, which can confuse people when they see something in the sky.

An influx of UFO sightings in other Texas cities

But Houston isn’t the only place Texans are seeing UFOs. While Houston takes the lead, other cities like Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Austin also experience a high volume of UFO sightings. The dense population in these metro areas, along with nearby military bases and airports, makes them frequent hotspots for UFO activity. As interest in the unexplained continues to grow, it's likely that these Texas cities will keep seeing their share of skywatchers reporting unusual sightings.

Moral of the story, Texans love UFOs

No matter the cause, one thing is certain: Texas remains a key location for UFO enthusiasts and curious minds alike.
