📝 Description
Latest synthesis confirms Massachusetts remains among the states with the most UFO/UAP reports, based on NUFORC data and compilation by outlets like Stacker. The 2022 Boston 25 News piece said MA was in the top 20 with 2,538 sightings. Since then, statewide totals have continued to accumulate (thousands of NUFORC reports since 1974), and city-level counts in 2025 show Boston as the MA city with the most sightings (e.g., 116–119 reports since 1995 in Stackers analyses). Importantly, there is no single Massachusetts sighting tied to this ranking; the figures reflect aggregated reports rather than a specific event.
