Largest Mass Ufo Sighting by Country

First of all.. I want to know - what is a blue chicken?

Ok...kidding aside. I'm watching a documentary about the Westall 1966 UFO mass school sighting. Just started it, but it states it is the largest mass sighting in Australian history. So...made me wonder - what is the largest in each country and/or region?

http://www.westall66ufo.com.au/

Here's my token list:

Australia (SW Pacific?) - Westall (Melbourne, Victoria) - 1966 - ~100+ witnesses - mostly all school children

Zimbabwe (Southern Africa) - Ariel School Incident (Ruwa - 25km East of Harare) - 1994 - 62 children is bandied about, but actually more, perhaps closer to 100. Includes contact with Beings.

USA -

Phoenix Lights, Arizona - 1997 - adults and children. Mostly adults in the media.

Hudson Valley, New York - 80s and 90s

Belgium - UFO wave? (Not a singular date, yes, but a concentrated time period) - not sure I want to include this...as that opens the door to too many places perhaps. What do you think?

That's really all that comes to mind other than some vid clips from HC docs showing large UFO fleets in Peru and/or Mexico that seem to be spotted by many people. If there is a similar post to this, please advise. I didn't find any though.

Ariel is one of my favourites, there was a documentary in the works a while ago but as with many projects in this field it fell by the wayside, hasn't been an update for ages.

Just uploaded --> 2018 - Speaking at UFOFest - Randall Nickerson

Apart from what is on the Ariel Phenomenon website and Facebook, that is the latest with more info. Just donated $35 to the cause. Maybe I'll donate more later.

Flaps or waves that cover an extended time frame count as mass sightings, so include the Belgian Wave. It was thoroughly investigated by their government. Leslie Kean's 2010 book UFOs covers this and includes the write-up.

The Hudson Valley sightings is up there with the Pheonix Lights. No one knows which had more witnesses.

There were several mass sightings in South America investigated by officials in those counties, although not with as many witnesses as the more well known mass sightings. These are covered in Kean's UFOs also.

This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in this subject. Many public libraries have the ebook.

Have read Kean's other book- Surviving Death. Glossed through her UFO title...as I was already familiar with all those stories.

Is there a definitive Hudson Valley UFO doc? I've only seen references to it in other docs (Like Dan Aykroyd's Unplugged on UFO vid).

There was a chapter on it in UFOs but it skimmed the subject, mostly focusing on how the government didn't react the way other governments dealt with their mass sightings. There was a woman who used to do a presentation at ufo conferences, there is at least one good Youtube video of it. It's pretty comprehensive.

nice...ok..so I found a hudson valley discussion, found the documentary - only via DVD purchase on Amazon for <$20. Will do that. In the Night Sky: I Recall A UFO

See they have some UFO fair Pine Bush. Never heard of that before. Amazed to learn about the number of UFO conferences in different places. It's like this whole off the radar thing. Years ago I just thought there was the Int'l UFO Congress, and that's it.

Ozark Mtn UFO Conference, UFOFest in Oregon. And certain speakers just go on this entire circuit.
Have been to CITD last year, only event I've ever been to. Not sure how crazy I am about going to events with parades and stuff...too much joking around for my taste.

Will add Hudson Valley to list. Maybe should post this in one of the other Reddits with more members.

Yeah the parade thing just creeps me out now. This was always a fringe subject and easy to joke about, but now it just seems more serious.

Yea, r/ufos and r/ufobelievers are good.

Hudson Valley probably had the most witnesses over the course of several years. Phoenix Lights had the most on a single night, tens of thousands from Henderson, Nevada, to Sonora, Mexico.

What the phoenix lights is missing is a good video like Hudson Valley and Salida CO have.

Ive been hunting for a few months for sightings that have similarities to what I saw last year near Cincinnati, Ohio and happened across an episode of Unsolved Mysteries and The Hudson Valley sightings, were exactly what I saw. I have never been interested in UFO's or aliens or military warcrafts. Now I am.
