Back in the day, before the entire country went nutso, my parents and I
used to joke about the fact that *all* the reported UFO landings and
alien sightings seemed to take place in Florida, Mississippi, and the
swamps of Louisiana.

My mom, a native of Boston, said, "We'll believe these tales when a
flying saucer lands on the MIT campus and a little green man comes out
and says "take me to your leader."

These days, of course, whatever craziness infected the south
(referencing the "Florida trait") has spread across the nation. But I'm
not going to believe in aliens until there is a landing on the campus of
the University of Chicago.

Most Florida residents came from one of those northern states you hold
in such high regard.
I certainly see a lot of Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut people here. (mostly on the east coast) On the west coast
we mostly get mid westerners.
That is basically a I-95 vs I-75 thing

That doesn't mean the relocated Yankees are the ones reporting the
sightings! My mom moved to the east coast of Florida after my dad
died. I don't recall her ever telling me she saw an alien or a flying
saucer in her retirement neighborhood.

Guess you've never heard of Arizona, eh?
