Drainage areas of major rivers.

Yes, and by implication the watersheds in red. 

In a way it's as good a basis for fantasy/alt-hist maps as any other.

NORAD maybe? If they report them at all. In my experience those same nutters tend to believe that the UFOs came from "The Governement".

I don't think any agency is "in charge" of UFO citings.  Reports may come in to local police, Air Traffic Control, Air Force, NORAD, NASA...

The MLA is in charge of UFO citings.  This authority was granted to them in 1986 by executive order by Ronald Reagan.  This had become necessary once scholars started working at the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library.

The Truth is out there.

MLA?  Modern Language Association?  Member of the Legislative Assemby?  Meat and Livestock Australia?  Master Locksmiths Association?

I'm going pretty deep into google and not turning anything up...

Modern Language Association; the MLA Citation Style is one of the standard formats for citing sources:

Jimmy Carter reported seeing a UFO, so "Citing UFOs" would be necessary for scholars of Jimmy Carter.
