DESCRIPTION: SOLD
A boldly graphic, unrecorded, early 21st century persuasive popular culture map titled Map of Locations of UFO Sightings, presenting reported unidentified flying object activity across the southwestern United States. The composition centers on a stylized regional map of the Southwest United States marked with prominent red X symbols indicating areas of concentrated sightings, accompanied by dramatic illustrations of flying saucers, extraterrestrial figures, and cosmic imagery. Prominent geographic references include California, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, with special emphasis on Roswell, reinforcing the enduring mythology surrounding alleged crash sites and government secrecy.
Supplementary text panels frame this small map with sensational claims, eyewitness accounts, and references to U.S. Air Force investigations from 1947 to 1996, blending selective historical facts with speculative narrative. Additional vignettes along the lower margin document specific reported sightings from 2002 in California, Florida, Wisconsin, and New York, grounding the imagery in contemporary anecdote. Overall, the piece functions less as a scientific record than as a vivid artifact of modern UFO folklore, Cold War anxiety, and mass-media driven belief, reflecting how cartographic form is used to lend authority and visual coherence to conspiracy culture.
