Elmwood and the Landing Pad That Was Never Built
A Wisconsin town of eight hundred where three sightings came one after another in 1975–76, one of them by a police officer. Patrolman George Wheeler radioed that an object with a row of windows was hanging over a hill, after which the radio cut out and his engine died. Wheeler died six months later, and the town connected the two. After the wave a resident proposed building a UFO landing pad outside the town — with a tower, lights and a reception centre — and put a committee together for it. The fifty-million-dollar project stayed on paper. Elmwood has held UFO Days at the end of July since 1978.
Bonnybridge and the Falkirk Triangle
A town in central Scotland where the local authority has logged around three hundred reports of unidentified objects a year since 1992 — per head of population, probably the densest rate in the world. The wave began with one businessman's sighting and spread far enough that councillor Billy Buchanan raised it in the Scottish Parliament and pressed for a government investigation. The town came to be called the centre of the Falkirk Triangle. Explanations have been offered: approach corridors for Edinburgh and Glasgow airports pass nearby, as does a military range. None of them explains why the flow of reports here is so much higher than in neighbouring towns under the same corridors.
