Rhode Islanders Among Most At Risk For Alien Abduction: Study

Rhode Islanders are at risk of abduction by aliens more than the residents of nearly every other state in America, a recent study revealed.

The study, conducted by the researchers at Canadian sports gambling information and comparison website Canada Sports Betting, "analyzed 18,561 UFO sightings reported across the US since 2020, ranking all 50 states by population-adjusted reports flagged as possible abductions or unexplained missing time," according to a media release.

The Ocean State ranked eighth on the list, the study determined, putting the odds of a Rhode Islander getting abducted by extraterrestrials at some point during his or her life at 1 in 17,500.

In comparison, the odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the Rhode Island Lottery

The state whose residents face the greatest threat of danger of alien abduction was Vermont, where the chance was a mere 1 in 5,700.

Vermont was followed by Oregon, New Hampshire, Washington and West Virginia.
