That’s because St. Paul is home to the first-ever UFO landing pad, a monument that turned 45 years old this year.
When it opened in 1967, it was a Big Deal.

The researchers said Canada had reported 986 UFOs so far this year, an increase from the year before. Calgary reported the second-highest number of flying saucers and strange lights of any major city — it was beaten only by Toronto.
