UFOs in the US?

UFO sightings are rare, but still occur frequently enough to justify a mapping exercise using ArcGIS Online! This assignment asked for the creation of a .csv file of the location of UFO sightings in the US. Using Excel, I copied information from Wikipedia and saved it as a .csv Excel table. From there, I mapped it in ArcGIS Online by dragging and adding the file to the base map. I changed the style of the symbol for sightings so they were based solely on location, thus rendering the dots a single color. The final product is here, below.
