The X Files said the truth is out there - but if you speak to some Brits, it's already here, and most likely to be in London.
Reports of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in our skies have come in from all parts of our country - with the most sightings in London.
It's closely followed by Kent in 30 sightings and Lancashire with 24.
And although the Midlands is a hotspot - with 109 sightings - not every area offers prime UFO viewing, with Birmingham at the lower end of the scale.
Places on the lower end of UFO sightings - or the places with more sceptics, depending on how you look at it, included Oxford, Glasgow, Liverpool and Edinburgh.
And Coventry, Durham, Leeds, Sheffield and Birmingham each recorded under three sightings a year.
To mark World UFO Day - taking place each year on July 2 - Fresh Student Living has compiled a guide to the country's top UK hotspots, based on reported sightings.
It says it covers the RAF's final records of UFO reports from 2009, detailing over 626 sightings across the UK.

Those reporting UFO sightings included policemen, air traffic control and pilots.
Most sightings were reported between 8pm and midnight.
A YouGov polll earlier this year found one in five Brits believe aliens are already among us - although 65% remained sceptical, and 15% of those polled were still undecided.
