It occurred to me while reading about UFO whistleblower news. Why do the majority of UFO things occur in the United States rather than Russia, China, and other countries?
Edit: Thank you all for answers, they’re really helpful.

The “flying saucer” phenomenon originated among American and British pilots, from the “foo fighters” of WWII to Kenneth Arnold’s widely publicized sightings. It then spread in the largely-American science-fiction scene and Hollywood-centric mass media.
Blame the science fiction magazines from the 50’s and 60’s. It really was a good time for scifi: Isaac Asimov, Arthur C Clarke, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K Dick, Robert A Heinlein, Frank Herbert.
Sure — also L. Ron Hubbard, John W. Campbell, and many others who got involved personally in weird shit & pseudoscience of one sort or another.
