To create the guide, LateRooms.com has partnered with the ex-Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) lead UFO investigator, Nick Pope, who provided a comment and some tips for Brits hoping to seek out extraterrestrial experiences and find their own E.T.
The holiday letting site used UFO Identified’s 2021* report to compile the findings, which it compared with its own internal data of the most popular locations for holiday bookings over the past 12 months.
As well as revealing the number of sightings in each UK county, the UFO organisation’s report revealed that in 2021 there were 333 extraterrestrial sightings in England, with 43 alleged sightings in Scotland, 25 in Wales and nine in Northern Ireland.
In the report, the organisation revealed that the most likely time to see a UFO is on a Saturday between 9pm and 10pm. It also suggests that September is the best month to spot unexplained sightings in the sky.
The critically acclaimed movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, was released in 1982 and after winning a number of awards, quickly became regarded as one of the best films of all time. Directed by Steven Speilberg, the film follows the story of an alien who is left behind on Earth and found by a young boy.
