Situated 180 miles from Phoenix and with a population of 10,000, Sedona is not the first place you are likely to think of when it comes to UFO hotspots in the United States.

Speaking to the Mail Online, UFO tour guide John Polk maintains that he has witnessed mysterious objects on a regular basis and believes that the area is home to a 'vortex' or 'dimensional door'.

He also claims that UFOs appear and disappear due to the presence of ley lines in the area."You'd see stuff whether I was here or not," he said.

"But when I am there, you see a lot more because I know how to work the energy out there."

Some have come to liken Sedona to Roswell, New Mexico - the site of the infamous 1947 UFO crash.

There have even been reports of an extraterrestrial base in the town's surrounding hillsides.

As things stand, however, no conclusive evidence of such a facility has been forthcoming.
