As a grad school project for our data visualization course at Parsons School of Design, we used Carto (a spatial mapping platform) to visualize UFO sightings data showing the locations and frequencies where UFO sightings have been reported.

We used this data from Wikipedia which records UFO sightings events reported by people around the globe and throughout history.
