    I’ll play.

    Either McMurdo or Palmer stations in Antarctica. Would fit lots of threads that have been planted out there (looking at you Fox Maulder and John Carpenter).

    And would definitely cause an international incident given its international legal status.

      I did work with an astrophysics PhD (not in this field, more like a data analyst) who had worked there (Antarctica).

      I jokingly (well, not really!) asked him if he knew where the UFOs were and he said they would put ufo stuff in log entries “as a joke”.

      The response was not "UFOs? What?’ he was well aware of the various beliefs and so on. He changed the subject after that.

      I want to stress we were in a workplace just chatting before getting down to business. I am not implying in any way he was hiding anything but he was definitely aware of this stuff and dismissed it with a joke. Found that interesting.
