Americans are very interested in aliens, and you'll note the heat map correlates with wealth (and thus smartphone access).

Some of the more interesting UAP encounters are entirely non-US

It doesn't, or else there would be a lot more sightings all over Europe, South Korea and Japan, Australia and New Zealand, Israel, Saudi Arabia and various emirates, and a good junk of China.

Also, smartphones didn't exist for the first 101 years of the reporting time span.

It most definitely still correlates with wealth, regardless of that factors

Regardless, simple google searches of "UAP sightings South America/Asia/India/ etc" will yield many results - this is not a US phenomnon

However it is primarily a cultural phenomenon, it's simply spread to the rest of the world as part of the US cultural zeitgeist and near-hegemony.
