    I think it’s more that they’ve been given the loudest megaphone. Think about how much other countries are exposed to American news and media and compare that to how much Americans listen to news and media from other countries.

  We set ours on a pedestal and give them a megaphone though.

  Sure, but we have a huge chunk of the country inhabited mostly by tumbleweeds and people with less-than-awesome education. Plus, the concept of Area 51 has been around so long and has been so prolific it’s been constantly referenced in the mainstream, from Scooby-Doo to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.

    Add to this the fact that we produce the most advanced aircraft. Many sightings are probably of military crafts.
