RECENT
ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON THURSDAY,
MARCH 24, 2016 \We have updated the
database of sighting reports with the posting of 74 new entries, submitted to
our Center since Friday afternoon, March 18, 2016. We encourage visitors to our website to be on the
alert for flaws in the reports, and reports that may be out-and-out
hoaxes. We believe that we have “filtered” the reports in such a
fashion that has allowed us to detect, and delete, prank reports, but there
is always the possibility that some errors, and flawed reports, may have
escaped our attention. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport is scheduled to make his weekly
appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Thursday,
March 24th, 2016. During his appearance, Peter will briefly
address several recent reports, which may include the following: ·
·
Fairbanks,
Alaska, Wednesday, March 23rd, 2016, @ 2100 hrs. (local)—A
husband, wife, and their daughter, witness three orange, stationary,
triangular-shaped objects, seen hovering in the nighttime sky. The
apparent size of the objects was equal approximately to that of the planet
Venus or Jupiter. The witnesses have pledged to send more reports,
which describe the sighting in greater detail, as well as photos taken with a
high-quality digital camera. NUFORC will post the photos, when they
arrive. Witness Report ·
South Branch,
New Brunswick, Monday, March 21st, 2016, @ 0500 hrs. (local)—A
father reports that he was awaked by the baby monitor in his infant son’s
bedroom, and went to the room, accompanied by their five grown dogs, to see
what the matter was. As the father tends to his son, he witnesses a
tall, slender, black “entity” through a garage window. The dogs began
acting very strangely, the father reports, and seemed to be profoundly timid
and frightened, and one of them attempted to hide itself under a piano, where
it lay, trembling. Witness Report We will post more reports and photos, within the
next several days. Statement
posted on Thursday evening, March 24th, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, MARCH
18, 2016 We have posted approximately 134 new, or recently
amended, UFO sighting reports to our website, as of this date. As always, we urge visitors to our site to
exercise caution in what they accept as being believable, given that the body
of reports may contain cases of misidentification, as well as occasional
out-and-out attempts to hoax our Center with prank reports. We have
proof-read all of the reports we have posted, but there is always the
likelihood that we may have missed detecting some errors, and suspect
cases. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport, Director of NUFORC, will make
his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program: www.coasttocoastam.com, hosted by
George Noory, on Friday night, March 18, 2016, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (PDT). During his appearance, he will discuss
the following reports: ·
Newport Beach,
California, Friday, March 18, 2016, @ 00:00 hrs. (PDT)—A young woman, her
mother, and the other members of their family, become aware of a very loud
roaring sound, which seems to them to be emanating from the nighttime
sky. The roaring was so loud that it apparently set of many car alarms,
and the witnesses felt it may have been related to the two extremely bright
lights they witnessed in the sky ·
Murfreesboro,
Tennessee, Wednesday, March 16, 2016, @ 06:00 a.m. (EDT)—A group of police
officers, following their morning roll call, become aware of an extremely
loud, low-pitched rumbling sound, which passed directly overhead their
location. The sound was loud enough to drown out their voices, as they
attempted to keep talking, and the sound lasted for, they estimated, ten
seconds, even though they witnessed nothing in the sky. Witness Report ·
Adelaide,
South Australia, Tuesday, March 15, 2016, @ 9:45 p.m. (local)—An adult male,
sitting in an outdoor spa in his backyard, when he witnesses three triangular
craft, flying in an unwavering triangular formation, streak across the
visible sky in an estimated 5-8 seconds. The witness works in the
defense establishment in Australia, and is familiar with all types of
aircraft. He writes that the objects were not terrestrial military
aircraft. Witness Report We will post again in the next several
days. We have been promised video and still photos by many witnesses,
but very little of it has been submitted. If we receive some of the
promised items, we will post them during our next update. Posted on
Friday evening, March 18, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, MARCH
11, 2016 We have updated our website as of this date, with
the posting of 131 new, or recently amended, sighting reports. We have screened and proof-read the reports to
the greatest extent that we are able to do, but there is always the
likelihood that we have missed deleting, or properly labelling, reports that
are flawed, or which are overt hoaxes. Given the large number of prank
telephone calls our Center has received recently over our UFO Hotline, we
suspect that we may have received an unusually large percentage of reports
that are intended to “spoof” us. Consequently, visitors to our site are
encouraged to be especially vigilant, this week. In particular, one
should be cautious in accepting, at face value, those reports that have been
submitted by sources who choose to remain anonymous, and who provide no
contact information. We traditionally attempt to label of those report
submitted from anonymous sources. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport, Director of NUFORC, is scheduled
to appear on the Jeff Rense Radio Program ((PLEASE LINK))
at from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, March 11,
2016. Peter and Jeff will host two groups of guests, to include a
family who experienced a very dramatic sighting of orange “fireballs” above
their home in West Topsham, Vermont, on the evening of Thursday, March 03,
2016. An interesting aspect of the case is that all five members of the
family heard a very loud “growling,” or “scraping,” sound,
that appeared to emanate from the objects, as they passed
overhead. Witness Report 1 Witness
Report 2 (ADDENDUM: Please
note that the time of second report should read “2030,” not “1230.” PD) The second set of guests who will appear are a
husband and wife, who report having experienced a very dramatic sighting, in
August 1978, of a disc, which hovered very close to them above their home in
Santa Clarita, California. Witness
Report NUFORC has posted to its
homepage a very nice illustration, provided by the husband, who first
witnessed the disc when it was still several blocks from his home. Peter will also make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George
Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on
Friday night, March 11, 2016. Peter will discuss a number of recent
cases that have been submitted to NUFORC, over the past week. We will update the site again, within the next
several days. Posted on
Friday afternoon, March 11, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, MARCH
04TH, 2016 The NUFORC website has been updated, with our
posting of approximately 110 new, or newly edited, UFO sighting
reports. Given that the prank calls that we addressed in
our update last week are continuing, and given that the prank communications
may spill over to written reports, we encourage visitors to our website to be
particularly cautious, while reading this week’s reports. We always
aspire to remove the obvious pranked reports, but there is always the
possibility, and even likelihood, that some reports in the database are not
accurate accounts of actual sightings. INTERESTING RECENT REPORTS Some of the recent reports are of particular
interest, we believe, and we feature a number of them below: ·
West Topsham,
Vermont, Thursday, March 03rd, 2016, @ 2030 hrs. (EST)—The
husband/father of a family steps out onto the deck of their home, and he
suddenly summons his family members outside to look at something
unusual. Five of the family members spend the next ten minutes
observing two clusters of strange orange lights move rapidly overhead.
The display of lights overhead, they report, was accompanied by a peculiar
noise that sounded like a snow plow scraping a roadway. The objects
were seen by another witness to the north of the family’s residence. Witness Report ·
Harbor Beach, Michigan,
Monday, February 29, 2016, @ 2345 hrs. (EST)—A adult male, who describes
himself as an experienced amateur astronomer, and a member of the Mutual UFO
Network, witnesses a peculiar yellow light, which is out of place, he knew,
in the nighttime sky. The object suddenly streaks across the sky,
stops, and then streaks vertically into the night sky, all in a matter of
seconds. Witness Report ·
Edwards,
California, on Monday, February 29, 2016, @ 1820 hrs. (PST)—Two adult males,
traveling home from work, witness a red object, being trailed by a long
string of yellow lights. The object was approximately 30 degrees above
the horizontal plane, and ahead of their vehicle, as they drove to the
north. One of the witnesses is a former senior non-commissioned officer
in the U. S. Air Force. There were other co-workers at the place of
work who witnessed the object, as well. Witness Report Witness Sketch ·
Vancouver,
British Columbia, Friday, February 26th, 2016, @ 0050 hrs. (PST)—A
husband and wife witness from the balcony of their apartment a ·
Santa Clarita
Valley, California, August 13, 1978, @ 1930 hrs. (EDT)—A husband and wife,
while cleaning their swimming pool, witness a large disc, which hovered above
their neighborhood for an estimated 45 seconds. It was close enough
that they were able to discern fine details on the surfaces of the
disc. Witness Report Sketch Show at Right -> RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will appear on
Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m., Friday, March 04th, 2016, in order to
discuss some of the reports above, and perhaps others. We will post again, within the next several days.

Friday evening, March 04th, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY 26, 2016 We have updated the NUFORC website, with the
addition to our database of approximately 105 new sightings, collected since
the afternoon of Friday, February 19th, 2016. We encourage
visitors to our website to be on the alert for flawed and prank reports,
principally for reasons we address below. RECENT SPATE OF PRANK CALLS TO OUR UFO
HOTLINE Over the last two days, our Hotline has received
well over 100 prank calls, placed principally, it
seems to us, by young school age children. Many of them simply call,
and for some strange reason, say nothing, choosing to simply “hang” on the
line silently. Others spew offensive, sometime XXXX-rated, profanity,
and then hang up. Some of these “children” sound to us to be in their
20’s, 30’s, or even 40’s, a fact that we find particularly troubling.
We mention this fact, principally because we
would like the calls to stop. Prank calls represent a major frustration
for us, and they deduct a great deal of our time from other important
tasks. We mention it also because we observe that there
are many parents in our nation who seem not to be aware of what their
children are doing with their respective cell telephones and computers,
and/or don’t seem to care. The problem is of such gravity that we
believe that all parents should require their children to log every call made
on their telephones, or demand to have access to an itemized monthly
statement for each of their children’s telephones. The problem seems to
derived from a statement that was placed somewhere on the internet, which
children have encountered, and which they follow in a lemming-like
manner. We are pursuing that lead, and may request net authorities
pursue the issue. In the final analysis, the nuisance of prank
calls may cause us, in the near future, to alter the Hotline, such that it
will no longer be answered by a live operator, but will allow callers to
simply leave a message, and we will then return calls to callers who sound to
us to be serious-sounding individuals. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport will make his weekly appearance
on Coast to Coast AM ((LINK)), hosted by George Noory,
at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific), Friday, February 26, 2016. Peter
will discuss a few of the more interesting, and well documented cases, to
include the following: ·
Auburn,
Washington, Tuesday, February 23, 2016, @ 1850 hrs. (PST)—Two independent
witnesses observe a cluster of distinctly yellow lights move rapidly from
east to west across the local community. One of the witnesses is an
exceptionally experienced amateur astronomer. Witness Report 1 Witness
Report 2. We feel duty-bound to add here that one message was found
on social media, asserting that sky lanterns had been released nearby at a
memorial service, on the evening in question. However, the formation
was seen to be moving against the prevailing winds, both surface and aloft,
as reported by the local National Weather Service office. Second Formation
Photo Vantage
Point ·
Daimus, Spain, Friday, February 26, 2016, @ 01:15 hrs.
(local)—Two adult witnesses report seeing two very large, triangular craft in
the early morning sky. The witnesses assert that as the craft moved
across the sky, they abruptly came to a complete stop for perhaps 20-30
seconds, and then suddenly appeared to shoot vertically into the dark
sky. The witnesses assert that their impression was that each object
was as large as an oil tanker ship. Witness
Report We will
post again, within the next several days. Posted on
Friday evening, February 26, 2016. NUFORC HOMEPAGE AND DATABASE UPDATED ON FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY 19, 2016 Our website has been updated, as of this date,
with the posting of approximately 114 new sighting reports, received since
the afternoon of February 11th, 2016. We have proof-read the new cases as carefully as we
are able to do, amidst a busy schedule, but there still remains the
possibility that some of those reports are flawed in one way or
another. Hence, we strongly recommend that as you read through the new
reports, be on the alert for reports that appear to be defective, or which do
not seem to “ring true,” for one reason or another. In particular, we
encourage the readers to exercise caution in accepting, at face value, those
reports that have been submitted by individuals who elect to remain anonymous,
and who provide no contact information. The absence of such data from a
report can be, we observe, a cardinal sign that a report may be a hoax.
WE CONGRATULATE THE COAST TO COAST AM
RADIO AUDIENCE During his weekly radio update on the Coast to
Coast AM radio program on Thursday night, February 11th, Peter
Davenport cited a number interesting sightings from southern California of a
blue-green object, seen streaking from west to east. We considered the
possibility that the object was a meteor, but we could not be certain of that
possibility, and Peter requested of the C2CAM listeners in the Los Angeles
and San Diego areas submit reports, if they had seen the object. In
response to that appeal, many people submitted high-quality written reports,
and one gentleman located, and sent to our Center, video footage that we
believe resolves the case. Based on the video footage, we conclude that
the object almost certainly was a meteor. We extend our gratitude to
those COAST TO COAST listeners who submitted reports, and, in particular, to
the gentleman who guided us to a 10-second long video clip, captured by a Doheny State Beach surf-cam, located near Dana Point,
California. The video leaves little doubt in our mind, but what the
object was a typical bright meteor. (Video to be posted soon.) Peter will make his weekly appearance on Coast to
Coast AM again tonight, Friday, February 19, 2016, at 10:15 p.m. (Pacific),
and will talk about some interesting recent cases, to include those that
follow here: ·
Hong Kong
(China), Wednesday, February 17, 2016, @ 1944 hrs. (local)—While in flight at
an altitude of 33,000 feet, an airline Pilot and his First Officer witness
from their cockpit a strange blue light, that at first appeared to be
stationary, and at a very high altitude. After an estimated 2-3
minutes, the object began to move to the south, and its luminosity suddenly
increased dramatically. The pilot of a nearby airliner also reported
the object over the radio. Witness
Report ·
Anchorage
(Bear Valley), Alaska, Thursday, February 18, 2016, @ 20:45 hrs. (local)—A
husband and wife witness a long, orange orb, seen floating in the sky near
their rural home. Witness Report ·
Orlando,
Florida, Sunday, February 14, 2016, @ 2020 hrs. (EST)—An adult female
witnesses, and photographs, nine red/orange lights, drifting across the
nighttime sky. Witness Report Photo ·
Thibodaux,
Louisiana, Saturday, February 13, 2016, @ 2030 hrs. (local)—An adult male
witnesses ten peculiar looking lights, with a red light at the leading edge
of the objects, moving slowly across the sky. At first, they were
flying to the west, and then all suddenly turned to the north. Witness Report Photo BREAKING NEWS The International UFO Congress will wind up its
week of UFO lectures in Phoenix, Arizona, this weekend. Almost as if to
celebrate the presence of the Congress there in Phoenix, a cluster of
approximately ten, bright gold objects appeared over Interstate 10 at
approximately 1845 hrs. (MST) on Friday night, February 19, 2016, just as we
were updating our website. We will post the written report from the
witness, who reported to our Center over the Hotline that other people were
looking at the objects, and at least one other witness managed to capture
video footage of the objects. The witness who called reported that they
all disappeared suddenly, all at the same instant, which we believe tends to
rule out the possibility of their being sky lanterns. Also, here is a link we just received to a recent
interview of Peter Davenport, conducted by Mr. Jimmy Jenkins, of NPR’s KJZZ
station in Phoenix, in part to acknowledge the presence of the International
UFO Congress in that city this weekend:
http://kjzz.org/content/267657/spot-ufo-call-hotline-report-it We will update our site again, within the next
several days. Posted on
Friday evening, February 19, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATE ON THURSDAY EVENING,
FEBRUARY 11, 2016 Our website has been updated, as of this date,
with the posting of approximately 140 new written sighting reports, submitted
via our Online Report Form since Friday of last week, February 5th.
In our haste to get some fascinating reports
posted quickly, and in preparation for two radio programs, we probably have
not proofread the reports as carefully as we always aspire to do.
Consequently, be on the alert for what appear to be prank reports, or flawed
times and dates. If you discover what you believe may be a flawed
report, please send an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will address the issue quickly. We have received many of what we consider to be
unusually interesting and dramatic events, which we would like to call to the
attention of visitor to our website: ·
Colorado
Springs, Colorado, Thursday, February 04, 2016, @ 2300 hrs. (Mountain)—A
husband is suddenly awakened from a sound sleep by what he perceived to be a
“presence” in his bedroom. Immediately after awakening, he notes that
the room is filled with a red “fog,” which appears to him to be suddenly
sucked out of the room, as if by a vacuum cleaner. He attempts to wake
his wife and dog, but is unable to do so. Hearing a buzzing sound, he
walks to the front door and opens it, only to see a blue- and chrome-colored,
disc-shaped object hovering over his front yard. The object just
suddenly disappears from his sight. Witness Report ·
Claysburg,
Pennsylvania, Saturday, February 6th, 2016, @ 1900 hrs.
(Eastern)--While sitting on a ski lift, a father and his 14-year old son, who
describe themselves as extremely experienced night sky watchers, witness two
very bright, “star-like” objects move across the night sky, almost ·
Western United
States, Wednesday, February 10th, 2016, @ 0510 hrs.
(Pacific)—Approximately 90 minutes after a Delta IV rocket was launched from
Vandenberg AFB, witnesses from California, Oregon, Idaho, and Nevada, report a number of very strange sighting events.
NUFORC initially assumed that the witnesses had recorded the incorrect time,
and that they had witnessed the launch from Vandenberg. However,
subsequent investigation has satisfied us that the witnesses observed
something very unusual, as further supported by the illustration provided by
a witness in Lebanon, Oregon. Witness

Report 3 Witness Report 4 See image to right. ·
Southern
California, Thursday, February 11th, 2016, @ 0640 hrs.
(Pacific)—Multiple witnesses in the Los Angeles and San Diego area witnessed
a peculiar “blue-green” objects streak across the morning sky, lasting for an
estimated 5-15 seconds. The object may have been a long-duration
meteor, but some of the reports provide information that make
us wonder about that explanation. Please see reports for the morning of
February 11, 2016. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will present
his weekly update on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory,
appearing on that program at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Thursday,
February 12, 2016. Peter will talk about the cases above, and about
other items, as well. Peter will appear on the Jeff Rense
radio program on Friday night, February 12, 2016, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
(Pacific), and will be joined by at least three sets of witnesses, who will
describe their sightings. We will update the website again, within the next
several days. Posted on
Thursday night, February 11, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATE ON FEBRUARY 4TH,
2016 The NUFORC database of sighting reports has been
updated, with the posting of 106 new sightings, submitted since January 29th.
With every updating, we encourage visitors to our
website to be on the alert for flawed sighting reports, most of all with
regard to the times and dates indicated by the witnesses. We always
attempt to purge the reports of errors, and to label obviously hoaxed reports
for what they are, but we know from experience that some errors can slip
through our screening and proof-reading process. If you encounter what
you believe may be an error or a hoaxed report, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com and we will
deal with the issue as quickly as possible. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will make his
weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by Mr.
George Noory, on Thursday night, February 4th . Peter will discuss a four or five
recent reports, a few of which are featured below: ·
Bolton (Lake
George), New York, Sunday, January 24, 2016, @ 1649 hrs. (EST)—A commercial
pilot, on a VFR flight that took him over Lake George, witnesses what at
first he thought was a landing light on an approaching aircraft.
However, as his aircraft got closer to the object, the unidentified object
appeared to the witness to change its color to red, or perhaps yellow, and it began to appear rectangular in shape.
Approximately 6 or 7 minutes after the witness first observed the object, it just suddenly vanished from his sight. Witness Report ·
West Suffield,
Connecticut, Sunday, January 31st, 2016, @ 2045 hrs. (EST)—A
mother, while letting her dog out, suddenly becomes aware of five bright,
very prominent orange lights, which move slowly across the night sky behind
some nearby trees. She calls her son out to look at the objects, which
suddenly accelerate abruptly, and streak off into the north sky. Mother’s Report Son’s

Fife,
Washington, Wednesday, February 03rd, 2016, @ 1900 hrs. (PST)—A
family, driving south on Interstate 5 in Fife, located just north of Tacoma,
has its attention suddenly drawn to a very bright green light, that
illuminated the sky to their left. The illumination lasted for
approximately 3 seconds, and then occurred on two more occasions. The
father, who was driving, is an aviation mechanic in the aerospace industry,
and states that he has never seen anything like it. Witness Report We will update the website again, within the next
several days. Posted on
Thursday night, February 04, 2016. NUFORC
WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 2016 We have updated the website, as of this date,
with the posting of approximately 110 new, or recently amended,
reports. We have proof-read the reports as carefully as
possible, but as we always do, we encourage visitors to the NUFORC website to
be on the alert for flawed or hoax reports, dates and time that don’t appear
to match the text of the report, and other possible mistakes. If you
detect an error, please send the details of the report to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
examine the report more carefully that we did upon our first inspection. Some of the recent reports and issues that we
would like to call to the special attention of visitors to our site appear
below: Orbs that appear to change colors: Over the last several years, we have
focused attention on the strange appearance of clusters of red and orange
“fireballs.” Interestingly, NUFORC has received a few reports recently
about these peculiar orbs which appear to have changed colors. One such
report was just submitted regarding a sighting of just such an object in
Amsterdam, New York, on Thursday, January 28, 2016, at 2300 hrs. (Eastern). Witness Report The witnesses managed to capture rather
good video footage, which appears to show clearly the sudden color change of
the object from green to red. We will post this shortly. Orbs that appear possibly to be ascribable to
lanterns: Some sightings of “orbs”
appear to involve the launching of so-called “Chinese” lanterns, or “Sky
lanterns,” which are powered by candles, or by other pyrotechnic
devices. Based on the photos that have accompanied a report from
Huntington, Texas, Witness Report,
for a sighting there on Saturday, January 23rd, 2016, @ 2015 hrs.
(Central), we wonder whether this report might be an example of such
lanterns. The objects in the photo seem to us to indicate a pyrotechnic
device, illuminating a lighter colored envelope. We cannot be certain
what the objects are, but the quality of the photo is such, so as to make us
wonder whether this might be a relatively rare example of lanterns. Sonic shock waves over the East Coast: On Thursday, January 28th,
NUFORC received a number of reports from the east coast of peculiar sounding
sonic “booms,” which seemed to some witnesses to shake the earth. The
events were reported by the press from a number of states along the eastern
seaboard, and U. S. military sources quickly reported that the events had
been caused by military aircraft, specifically U. S. Navy F-18’s and the
newly introduced F-35’s, which apparently is undergoing field testing.
However, based on at least one of the reports submitted to our Center. Witness
Report ((Note: Date is flawed in database, and should read January
28.)), we have come to question whether the description provided by the
military provides the full story, and another gentleman, Mr. Kurt Story, has
come to the same conclusion. We provide below his analysis of the
event: ((BEGIN TEXT OF ANALYSIS OF SONIC “BOOMS” OVER
THE EAST COAST, THURSDAY, JANUARY 28, 2016, BY MR. KURT STORY.)) Description: This is an analysis of the details of a “sonic
boom” event reported along the New Jersey coast and surrounding areas.
The shaking was reported to have occurred around 1:23:45 PM local time on
January 28, 2016. After initial reports of ground movement came in, the
USGS determined this was not an earthquake, but originating in the
atmosphere. They estimated that as many as 9 sonic booms were reported, which
the U. S. Navy has since attributed to a supersonic flyover by two jets in
Naval airspace, located approximately 14 miles offshore. However, when one digs deeper, this explanation doesn't
adequately explain the facts. To clarify the details, I have included a
diagram. The diagram is based on the USGS ”Did you
feel it?” map of the event, which recorded eyewitness shaking reports made to
the USGS. I should point out that people generally contact USGS to
report an earthquake, not a loud sound. In my personal experience with
several low-altitude supersonic flyovers, I have heard a sharp sound/air
blast, but felt no ground movement. However, in this case, ground
shaking was reported as far away as 70 miles from the Navy airspace, as shown
on the map. The effects and range of sonic booms has been carefully studied.
Ground width of the boom exposure area is approximately 1 statute mile
(1.6 km) for each 1,000 feet (300 m) of altitude (the width is about five
times the altitude); that is, an aircraft flying supersonic at 30,000 feet
(9,100 m) will create a lateral boom spread of about 30 miles (48 km).
In this case, we have reports from as far away as 70 miles. So if
the sonic booms were generated offshore in Naval airspace,
that means the boom width is twice that, or ~140 miles. Plugging
that value into the equation gives us an altitude of 140,000 feet. This
is more than twice the stated operational altitude of the F-35C, and 3.5X the
operational altitude of the F-18. Therefore, I find it rather difficult to accept the official
Navy explanation, as it simply does not explain all the observational data.
Even at first glance, it's hard to imagine how two small aircraft could
displace enough air to cause ground shaking 70 miles away! All the
observational data should be considered to find a better explanation,
wherever the facts may lead us. ((END ANALYSIS)) We post this analysis, not because we believe the
event was in any way related to the presence of a UFO, but rather, because
the military statement about the incident does not appear to explain it
adequately well. The apparent discrepancy seems to suggest that other
factors may have been involved, which are not dealt with by the military’s
explanation. We would invite witnesses to the event to submit
reports, using our Online Report Form, found elsewhere on our website. We express our gratitude to Mr. Story for his
having shared the analysis with NUFORC, and for his having allowed us to
share it with visitors to our website. We will update the site again within the next
several days. Posted Friday night, January 29, 2016 NUFORC DATABASE AND WEBSITE UPDATED ON
JANUARY 23RD, 2016 We updated our
database of sighting reports on Wednesday, January 20, and we do so again, as
of this date. We have posted approximately 130 sighting reports,
received since January 14th, 2016. We believe we’ve
done a fairly credible job of proof-reading this batch of new reports, but
there is always the possibility that we may have overlooked flawed and hoaxed
reports. As a result, we always encourage visitors to our website to be
on the alert for reports that may be defective, or which may be attempts to
mislead the reader. We highlight below
a few of the reports, which we believe deserve special attention of visitors
to our website: ·
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Saturday, June 07th,
1980, @ 1300 hrs. (Central)—A group of high school students, university undergraduates,
and at least on Ph.D., sight a strange, metallic-looking object, seen
hovering above a nearby empty field. They are so “taken” by its
appearance that they exit the restaurant where they are having lunch, in
order to get a better look at the object, and satisfy their curiosity as to
its nature. Witness Report ·
Tacoma, Washington, Friday, January 22nd,
2016, @ 2355 hrs. (Pacific)—An adult male, who describes himself as a pilot, among
other talents, witnesses a fireball fly by his residence near Interstate 5 in
Tacoma, Washington. He estimated it was at an altitude of 500 feet, and
traveling at approximately 60 miles per hour. Witness Report ·
Hoquiam, Washington, Friday, January 22nd,
2016, @ 1900 hrs. (Pacific)—Four witnesses observe a total of seven orange
objects pass overhead. The objects appeared to maneuver, and several of
them suddenly accelerated and shot up into the night sky. Witness Report ·
Asheville, North Carolina, Thursday, January 21st,
2016, @ 1130 hrs. (Eastern)—A postal employee witnesses a circular object
pass overhead, and suddenly disappear from his sight. A second person
witnesses the same object from a different location. Witness Report We will post again
within the next several days, and will share some video and still photos that
have been promised to us, but which have not arrived yet, at the time of this
posting. Posted on Saturday afternoon, January 23rd,
2016. ABBREVIATED UPDATE OF NUFORC WEBSITE ON THURSDAY,
JANUARY 14, 2016 We have updated the
database of sighting reports, as of this date, with the posting of
approximately 70 newly received reports. We will update again, within
the next several days. Because of our
haste in posting new reports, we have not proof-read them as carefully as we
traditionally like to be able to do. Consequently, there is a high
likelihood that there are a number of reports that are hoaxes, cases of
mistaken identity of terrestrial objects, and reports of celestial bodies,
i.e. stars and planets. If you encounter a report that is obviously not
of a “bona fide” UFO, please feel free to send an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue quickly.
Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Standard
Time) on Thursday night, January 14, 2016. Peter will discuss several
cases, which include the following two reports: ·
Camp Mackall/Ft. Bragg,
North Carolina, September 13, 2010, @ 23:30 hrs. (Eastern)—A Special Forces
instructor, his assistant instructor, and a group of candidate trainees
witness the huge, dark triangle depicted at right pass silently
overhead. Witness Report ·
Las Vegas, Nevada, Tuesday, January 05, 2016, @
21:35 hrs. (Pacific Standard Time)—A former law enforcement officer witnesses
a very large triangular object above the Santa Fe Casino. The object
was hovering motionless, and silently. Witness Report We will post again,
within the next several days. Posted Thursday night, January 14, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 8TH,
2015 Although we updated
our website on Tuesday of this week, we do so again on this date, in order to
post the most recent reports, prior to Peter’s appearance on two radio
programs on Friday evening, January 08th. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter will make his
monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program
at from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on Friday night,
January 08, 2016. Jeff and Peter will host two guests, whose reports
are summarized, and linked to, below: ·
Bahamas (near; at sea on a cruise ship), Monday,
December 28, 2015, @ 19:45 hrs. (local)—A father and his two teenage sons,
looking out over the ocean from their private cabin, witness a yellow light
in the distance, which suddenly appears to approach the cruise ship they are
aboard. The light draws to within an estimated 100 feet of the ship,
both vertically and laterally, and then accelerates from a dead stop, to gone
over the horizon, within approximately 60 seconds. Witness Report ·
Adak, Alaska, (at sea aboard a fishing vessel)
August 08th, 1996, @ 02:30 hrs. (local)—A deckhand, the boat’s
skipper, and a number of other on- A few other reports
caught our attention, which are linked to below, together with illustrations:
·
Woodbury, Minnesota, Sunday, January 03rd,
2016, @23:00 hrs. (Central)—An adult male has his attention drawn to flashing
lights outside his bedroom window. He looks out his window and

Lake Wylie, South Carolina, Tuesday, January 05,
2016, @ 20:10 hrs. (Eastern)—An adult male, who is a former U. S. Navy
officer, witnessed an estimated 8-10 orange-colored lights cross the
nighttime sky. He estimates that they covered the entire sky in 5-8
minutes. Witness Report Witness Photo Peter will also
appear on Coast to Coast AM at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday,
January 08th, 2016, with a guest host, who will replace George Noory. Peter will discuss some of the cases above,
and perhaps a few recent trends in ufology. Posted Friday night, January 08, 2016. NUFORC IS BACK TO
A NORMAL OPERATING SCHEDULE At our last
posting, on December 22nd, we requested that visitors to our site
make every effort to refrain from placing all but the most urgent calls to
our UFO Hotline over the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. It appears
that most people heeded our request, for which we are grateful! The
volume of telephone calls diminished to the point at which we were able to
handle them conveniently during our travels, and the volume of written
reports seems to have continued unabated. Thank you, one and all, for
your co-operation on the matter!! That co-operation made our Holiday
much more enjoyable, while we were still able to provide citizens a means for
submitting descriptions of their respective sightings during late December
2015. NUFORC SITE
UPDATED ON JANUARY 5TH, 2016 With this update,
we have posted 332 new, or newly amended, reports, received by our Center
since the morning of December 22nd, 2015. We have proof-read
them as carefully as possible, but we would counsel visitors to our website
to be on the alert for errors, cases of mistaken identification, and
out-and-out hoaxes. If a visitor encounters what he or she believes may
be a flawed report, please e-mail a comment to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue at our earliest convenience. RE-ENTERING
SATELLITE ABOVE THE PACIFIC COAST, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 22ND, 2015 We are grateful to
all those individuals in California, Nevada, and Utah for the reports they
submitted about the dramatic “fireball,” which was seen streaking over
California at approximately 6:05 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time), on Tuesday
night, December 22nd, 2015. Thanks to the fine work of Mr.
Ted Molczan, an amateur satellite “tracker,” based
in Canada, we now know that the object was a returning piece of space
debris. Several people captured the object on video. With Mr. Molczan’s permission, we post below his January 04,
2016,message to NUFORC: BEGIN COPIED
E-MAIL, SUBMITTED BY MR. TED MOLCZAN, AMATEUR SATELLITE RESEARCHER Happy New Year,
Peter! There were numerous
reports and videos of sightings from California, Nevada, and Arizona, of the
re-entry of 2015-080B/41178, on 2015 Dec 23, near 02:10 UTC (Dec 22 18:10
PST). It was the rocket body of the recent launch of Progress
MS-01. It was the model 11S510, which has an empty mass of 2410 kg. Two of the many
videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzLFVe7cv0I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQtUgG24Nbg The AMS received 59
fireball report: http://www.amsmeteors.org/members/imo_view/event/2015/4097 If you received
reports from Thailand and neighboring countries, of a meteor-like object seen
on Jan 2, just before dawn (6:36 AM), that was the re-entry of 2015-074C /
41107, which was the second stage of the Zenit-2SB rocket, that launched
Russia's Elecktro-L 2 satellite. Its empty mass was
8900 kg. Best regards, Ted Molczan END COPIED E-MAIL We express our gratitude to Mr. Molczan, and to the other volunteers with whom he works
to provide accurate data about satellites and re-entering space debris. REPORTS OF
“FIREBALLS” CONTINUE INTO THE 2016 For more than a decade, our Center has attempted
to call to the attention of the public the frequent reports of clusters of
red, orange, and yellow fireballs…a phenomenon which appears to us to have
suddenly increased in magnitude, beginning in approximately late May
2012. If anything, the frequency of such reports has increased over the
last 3-4 years, and the approximately 289 new reports we post, as of this
date, appear to be evidence of that fact. We have not counted the reports in this posting
that allude to these colorful “orbs” or “fireballs,” but we estimate that
type of report constitutes easily half of the reports for the last two
months, and we believe ranges to as high as 70-80 percent of them. What
makes the reports of keen interest to NUFORC, and to other UFO organizations,
as well, is that no one understands what the fireballs are, or where they
come from. The only possible prosaic explanation we can imagine is that
the objects are so-called “Chinese” lanterns, but in many cases, the objects
are reported to be “drifting” in a direction that is counter to that of the
prevailing local wind at altitude. If that is the case, then the
objects are self-propelled, which rules out the possibility that they could
be lanterns. For the interest of visitors to our website, we
feature below several examples of the fireball reports: ·
Spring Hill,
Tennessee, Saturday, January 2nd, 2016, @ 9:30 p.m. (local)—A women witnesses, and video tapes, a cluster of orange
lights seen hovering above her apartment building. Witness Report If you
watch the following videos, and find profanity-laced descriptions of the
objects, please turn off the sound on your computer. Witness Video 1 Witness Video 2 ·
Abbotsford,
Canada, Thursday, December 31, 2015, @ 8:30 p.m. (Pacific)—A Canadian air
traffic controller witnesses 10-15 distinctly yellow fireballs move slowly across
the southern nighttime sky. He estimated that they were in the vicinity
of Bellingham, Washington State, but he could not be certain of their
distance from his vantage point. In a telephone conversation with
NUFORC on January 05th, 2016, the witness averred that the objects
might have been “sky” lanterns, released at a celebration, but that he had no
objective data as to their nature. ·
Bear, Delaware,
Sunday, December 20, 2015, @ 9:45 p.m. (Eastern)—An adult male witnesses, and
captures on video tape, approximately 20 red “fireballs” move across the
nighttime sky. One of the fireballs is alleged by the witness to have
moved across the sky at a velocity significantly higher than that of the
other objects. Witness Report Witness Photo We will feature more of reports of these strange
“fireballs,” when we update the NUFORC website later this week. Posted on
Tuesday night, January 05th, 2016. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED MONDAY, DECEMBER 21ST,
2015 We have updated the
NUFORC website, as of this date, with the posting of approximately 50 newly
received reports. We have attempted to proof-read the reports
thoroughly, but there is always the possibility that the reports may contain
errors, or may be hoaxes that we have not detected. Hence, be on the
alert for errors, as you read through the posted material. HOLIDAY SCHEDULE Peter
Davenport, Center Director, will be out of town for the next several days
over the Christmas Holiday. Hence, he will not be available to answer
the Hotline [(206) 722-3000] until his return, a few days after
Christmas. Consequently, we would be most grateful if people would
refrain from telephoning the Hotline, except for the most urgent purposes.
Peter will monitor the Hotline remotely, and will return calls, if possible,
as he travels, but it may take several days for him to return calls. RADIO APPEARANCE ON CHRISTMAS EVE Peter is scheduled to make a brief appearance on Coast
to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Christmas Eve, December 24th.
Peter will be broadcasting from North Pole, Alaska, where he will be
monitoring the Santa Claus residence and workshop for any unusual activity… Posted on Tuesday, December 22nd,
2015. Our next update will occur on approximately December 30th.
NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2015 We have posted to
our database of eyewitness reports 111 new, and recently amended, sighting
reports, received since Thursday of last week, December 10th, 2015. As
visitors to our site read the reports, we request that they keep on the alert
for defective or hoaxed reports. If you find what you believe is an
error, or a hoaxed report, please send a not to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue as quickly as we can. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to appear on the Coast to Coast AM radio
program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately
10:15 p.m. on Thursday, December 17th, 2015. Peter will
discuss some of the recent cases that have been submitted to NUFORC over the
past week. We include below a report that arrived, just as we were
updating of the website, which Peter will discuss during his appearance on
the program: Date: 12/17/15 Time: 18:50 Duration: 7 minutes Sighting City: Madison Sighting State: Mississippi Sighting Zip: 39110 Sighting County: Madison Witnesses: 4 Shape: Sphere Number of Craft: 6 190 Description: The lead mechanic for ((deleted—an aviation
company)) in Madison, MS, came inside the FBO and requested that all the
employees on staff step outside to witness the objects. We initially saw five, red, spherical objects in the western
sky, traveling southbound at a rapid but steady pace. (The objects were
approximately two hand widths vertical distance from ground level). The red
light on the objects was not blinking. All of the objects began to disappear (their red lights faded
slowly, as if burning out) once they all reached the same point in the sky.
A sixth and final object emerged, appearing to lag behind the
initial objects but heading in the same direction and traveling at the same
approximate speed. It, too, disappeared once it reached the same point
in the sky. The entire event lasted between four and seven minutes.
The sighting was witnessed at an airport by personnel who have had
numerous years in and around aircraft. This was not typical aircraft
behavior. Lights On Object: Yes Also, Peter is
scheduled to make an appearance on Coast to Coast AM again, next Thursday,
December 24th, and will be broadcasting from NORTH POLE,
ALASKA! Peter plans to monitor very closely Santa’s Workshop, located
in North Pole, and expects to report any activity that may be seen to occur
there on Christmas Eve… Young children who are up late, and who may be
anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus, are encouraged to tune in to the
program! We will post again
next Monday night. Posted on Thursday
evening, December 17th, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10TH,
2015 We have posted 99
new, and newly revised, reports, received since the evening of December 4th.
We have proof-read
the reports to the best of our ability, but there may still be errors in the
new reports, so we always encourage visitors to our site to be on the lookout
for flawed reports and possible hoaxes. Also, be alert for reports of
the three bright planets in the eastern morning sky, and for sightings of the
star, Sirius, in the southeast sky, beginning in the late evening, and
continuing until morning. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program,
hosted by George Noory, on Thursday, December 10th,
2015, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Peter will discuss several
of the more interesting and dramatic sightings that have occurred over the
past week. Peter will appear
on the Jeff Rense Radio Program on Friday night,
December 11th, at from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific).
Jeff and Peter will host several sets of guests who were witness to the
dramatic events that were reported from the Pacific Northwest, and from other
states, during the evening of Friday, December 4th, 2015.
Written reports for many of the telephoned reports are among those we have
posted to our website, with this posting. We will update our
website again next week. Posted on Thursday evening, December 10th,
2015. NUFORC UPDATES HOMEPAGE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 04, 2015 We updated the
website yesterday, December 03rd, but, in part, because there were
some errors and omissions in that earlier posting, we have elected to update
again today. We have posted
approximately 20 new sighting reports, submitted since yesterday, and
approximately 40 older reports that have been more extensively proof-read and
revised during that same time period. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter is scheduled
to appear with the program host, George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday, December 4th.
The program can be accessed across the U. S. on major AM radio
stations. Peter will discuss a few of the more interesting recent
sighting reports, to include those which are featured below: ·
Copperas Cove, Texas, Thursday, December 03, 2015, @
20:10 hrs. (Central)—An adult female, driving north on Texas Highway 116,
witnesses an orange light in the eastern sky, which appears to split into at
least three similar looking objects. She continued to watch the
objects, and others, maneuver in the night sky for at least another 20
minutes. Witness Report ·
Edgewood, New Mexico, Thursday, December 03, 2015, @
17:45 hrs. (Mountain)—An adult female, driving east on Interstate 40,
witnessed a very bright ball of light streak from the eastern sky, to the
northeastern sky, in approximately 3 seconds. Her family members
reported hearing sonic reports in Edgewood. Witness Report We will update the
site with more reports and illustrations during the upcoming week. Statement posted on Friday evening, December 04th
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE IS UPDATED ON THURSDAY EVENING, DECEMBER
03RD, 2015 We have updated the
website, with the posting of approximately 95 newly received eyewitness
reports, plus approximately 40 amended reports. As you read the
recent reports, please be on the lookout for flawed, or hoaxed,
reports. Most of the reports that we consider to be something other
than serious reports we have not posted, with a few exceptions of properly
qualified and labelled examples. However, there is always the
possibility that we may have missed some flawed reports, in our haste to
proof-read and post the new cases. Consequently, there may be some in
the database that have escaped our attention. If you find what you
believe to be a flawed report, please call it to our attention by sending a
note to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will address the issue as quickly as possible. REPORTS OF THE MORNING PLANETS, AND OF “SIRIUS” IN THE
LATE EVENING SKY Our Center is
receiving many reports of the three bright planets, which currently are
visible in the early morning eastern sky. Many of the reports we have
posted, as an example of what people are seeing, and reporting. Please
refrain from reporting these three bright objects in the morning sky!
They are planets, and not alien spacecraft!! Also, as the
northern hemisphere gets deeper into the winter months, the very bright star,
called “Sirius,” or the “Dog Star,” is becoming visible ever earlier in the
southeastern sky during the mid- and late part of the evening. It gives
off a vividly bright chromatic display, principally red, blue, and green
light, but it, like the morning planets, is not a genuine UFO. Hence,
please refrain from reporting it to our Center! All of these reports of
planets and of “twinkling” stars are taking a great deal of our time, and
they have become a burden. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM with its host, George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Firday night, December 4th, 2015. Peter will
discuss several recent cases. “FIREBALL” REPORTS This is a
phenomenon that we have been attempting to bring to the attention of the
world community, and the reports appear not to be diminishing in
frequency. We received a very nice report from the Missouri
Investigators Group, based in Columbia, Missouri, of a sighting of just one
of these events, which occurred at 5:52 p.m. (Central) on November 23RD,
2015, and which we would like to feature here. Witness Report Photo 1 Photo 2. We express our gratitude to the Missouri
Investigators Group for sharing the case and the photos! Statement posted on Thursday night, December 03rd,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON THANKSGIVING DAY, THURSDAY,
NOVEMBER 26, 2015. We have updated the
website and database of sighting reports as of November 26, 2015.
Please be on the lookout for errors and flawed reports, given that our
vacation schedule has provided us with only limited time for proof-reading.
We suspect that there probably are a number of errors, and cases of mistaken
identity, among the reports we have posted today. RADIO PROGRAM Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program,
hosted by George Noory, on Thursday night, November
26th, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Peter will
discuss some of the more interesting cases that have been submitted recently.
We would like to
take this opportunity to wish all the visitors to our website a Happy
Thanksgiving, with hopes that everyone is able to enjoy the day with family
and friends! Posted on Thursday morning, November 26th,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED AGAIN ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20,
2015 We updated the
website yesterday, November 19, and we do so again today, in preparation for
Peter’s appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program, beginning at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific)
on Friday night, November 20th, 2015. Peter and Jeff will
host three sets of guests, whose written sighting reports can be accessed
from the links below: ·
·
Tucson, Arizona, on Tuesday, November 17, 2015, @ 20:50
hrs. (MST)—An adult male witnesses a dramatic display of “square”
yellow/orange lights in the western sky. Witness Report ·
Mitchell, South Dakota, on October 23, 2013, @ 20:50
hrs. —A husband and wife witness a strange light above the interstate
highway, which alarms them. Later that evening, they witness a similar
light above their farm, which splits into two separate lights. Witness Report Statement posted Friday afternoon, November 20th,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON THURSDAY NIGHT, NOVEMBER 19,
2015 e have updated our website, with the posting
of approximately 460 new, and newly amended, sighting reports, received since
November 07th. As visitors to our website read the reports,
we encourage them to be on the lookout for errors and hoaxed reports, and for
cases of obvious misidentification of celestial bodies. The majority of the
new reports are descriptions of the very dramatic missile launch that
occurred off the coast of California at approximately 6:00 p.m. (Pacific) on
Saturday night, November 07th, 2015. Even though the event
clearly was not related to a UFO sighting, we decided to post those reports,
nevertheless, in order to illustrate the diversity of reports that were
submitted in response to the same event. Although most
witnesses to the event did a commendable job of reporting the event
accurately, many entered the wrong date and time, the direction the witnesses
were facing (west), the direction the missile was traveling (north), and even
the color of the exhaust (white, then blue-green). The event serves to
illustrate the difficulty that UFO investigators have in their attempt to
obtain accurate and reliable data from eyewitnesses, and how crucially
important it is for eyewitnesses to record their respective sightings
accurately, in order that another person will be able to understand clearly
what an object or event looked like, as it was observed by the initial witness(es). RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
Director of NUFORC, will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George
Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on
Thursday night, November 19th, 2015. Peter will discuss
several recent reports, to include sighting in North Dakota, Oklahoma, and
Missouri. Peter is scheduled
to appear on the Jeff Rense
radio program at 7:00-9:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday, November 20,
2015. Jeff and Peter will host a number of witnesses to sightings that
have occurred over the last month. We will update our
site again soon, probably at some time over the upcoming weekend, to include
illustrations and photos that have been submitted to NUFORC, in support of
written reports. NUFORC WEBSITE PARTIALLY UPDATED ON THURSDAY, NOVEMBER
12, 2015 In preparation for
a radio appearance on Thursday evening, November 12th, we have
updated our website with the posting of approximately 130 eyewitness reports,
received since November 6th, 2015. However, those 130
reports represent only approximately one quarter of the unusually large
number of reports we have received over the past week, a result principally
of the launch of an ICBM missile off the coast of California by the U. S.
Navy submarine, the USS Kentucky, on Saturday night, November 07th,
2015, at approximately 5:55 p.m. (Pacific). The remainder of the
reports will be posted within the next 1-2 days, as soon as we are able to
proof-read them. Because we’ve
performed a relatively hasty job of proof-reading the posted reports, it is
particularly important the visitors to our website be on the alert for flawed
or misleading reports. If you encounter a report that you believe may
be flawed, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will re-examine the report for accuracy. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Director of NUFORC, will make his weekly appearance on the radio program,
Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Thursday night, November 12th,
2015. The program is carried by most major AM stations across the U.
S. Some of the reports that Peter may
address during tonight’s program include the following: ·
California (Pacific Ocean), Saturday, November 07th,
2015, @~5:55 p.m.—Seemingly reliable news reports
have confirmed the fact that a U. S. Navy submarine, reportedly the USS
Kentucky, conducted a test firing of an ICBM missile off the coast of
California. We have posted perhaps 50 or 100 of the approximately
250-300 written reports we have received about that event. In March 1998,
our Center received approximately 30 reports of another submarine ICBM launch
off the east coast of Florida that took place on Saturday, the 07th
of that month. In that instance, two missiles were fired in rapid
sequence, and both were visible simultaneously in the night sky. Those
earlier reports can be accessed among the reports
for March 1998. ·
Tucson, Arizona, Friday, March 14, 1997, @ ~1:10 a.m.
(local)—Approximately 3-4 hours after the so-called “Phoenix Lights” sightings
had ended, an adult male witnesses in his front yard a tall, bipedal,
human-like creature, with a large head, which approaches, and attempts to
enter, the witness’s home. The creature then jumps over a nearby fence,
and disappears in the night. The witness reports that shortly after
watching the creature leave his yard, he witnessed a disc rise out from a
nearby field and pass close to his home. Witness
Report ·
Odessa, Washington, March 17, 1969, @ ~8:00 p.m..—We alluded to this report in our posting on November
06th, but we have received the illustration below and a hand-drawn map from the witness..
We will update the
website again within the next several days. Posted Thursday evening, November 12, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2015 The NUFORC website
has been updated as of Friday, November 06, 2015, with the posting of 192
sighting reports, received since the afternoon of Thursday, October 29th. We have proof-read
the reports as carefully as our time has allowed, but there is always the
possibility that errors and flawed reports may have slipped through our
screening process. Consequently, we urge visitors to our website to be
on the alert for possible flaws, as they read through the reports. RADIO APPEARANCE ON
NOVEMBER 06, 2015 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Mr.
George Noory, on Friday evening, November 06th,
at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone). Some of the reports
that Peter will discuss are the following: ·
Odessa, Washington, Monday, March 17, 1969, @ ~20:00
hrs. (Pacific)—A large number of people at a birthday party witness a very
large metallic looking, disc-shaped object hover over several local houses,
including the home where the birthday celebration was taking place.
Some of the attendees decided to follow the object, and they saw it land in a
local field. Witness Report ·
Portland, Tennessee, Tuesday, November 03, 2015, @
18:40 hrs. (Central)—An adult male, who describes himself as being former
military, at one time attached to military Special Operations commands,
reports witnessing a dull gray, triangular craft, that
seemed to respond to the presence of the witnesses, who flashed their
automobile headlights at it. The object suddenly accelerated and
streaked off in the night sky, as two what appeared to be military F-18
fighter aircraft approached the area, apparently which were flying directly
toward the object. Witness Report COMMENT ABOUT THE
THREE PLANETS CURRENTLY VISIBLE IN THE MORNING SKY—Many people have reported
witnessing the three bright objects in the early morning eastern sky, and
many have questioned whether they are, in fact, planets. Hence, we
provide below a short video, available through NASA Science News, which
addresses the dramatic display of Venus, Jupiter, and Mars, visible from as
early as 2:00 a.m., to as late as sunrise. We hope that this will
resolve the issue of what the three bright objects are. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCuQXGCuiPo&feature=youtu.be
We will update the
NUFORC website within the next several days. Posted Friday night, November 06, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2015 We have updated our
website, with the posting of approximately 300 new, or newly revised,
sighting reports, received since the afternoon of Friday, October 16th.
All of the new reports have been proof-read, to at least a limited degree,
but please be on the lookout for errors, in
particular with regard to dates and times listed for the sightings. Also, we receive
many reports from individuals who wish to remain totally anonymous, and who
provide no contact information, something which always raises questions about
a case. Consequently, we encourage visitors to our site to maintain a
certain degree of skepticism over those reports, which are “flagged” with
comments from the proofreader. PUBLIC PRESENTATION
BY PETER DAVENPORT Peter has been
invited by the Harrington, Washington, Public
Development Authority to give a benefit presentation about his work in the
field of ufology. The presentation is open to the public, and will be
held at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, October 30th, 2015,
in the upstairs of the remodeled Harrington Opera House in downtown
Harrington. Donations to the HPDA may be made during the
presentation. More details are available on the Harrington, Washington, website. Peter
will hand out material to attendees, one of which is this informal “short list” summary of some of the more
interesting cases he has processed during his tenure as Director of the
National UFO Reporting Center. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport is
scheduled to make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Mr.
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m.,
Thursday, October 29th, 2015. Peter will discuss some of the
more interesting cases that have been submitted over the last week. One
of the cases he will discuss is a report submitted by a former fighter pilot,
who experienced a very interesting interaction in 1959 with a strange object
over West Germany, while flying an F-86 “D” on a routine patrol in
1959. His report can be read here. We will update our
site, to include some interesting photos and videos, in the next several
days. Posted on Thursday afternoon, October 29th,
2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 2015 We have updated our
website, with the posting of 186 new sighting reports, received by our Center
since the afternoon of October 09th. Please bear in mind
that those reports We always recommend
that people be alert to the possibility that a report may be flawed, or it
possibly may be an out-and-out hoax. Flaws to be on the lookout for, in
particular, are errors in the date and time of a sighting, given that many
people fail to note that the date changes at midnight. Also, some of
the reports, which indicate an time in the early morning, may be of the three
prominent planets, Venus, Jupiter, and Mars, which currently are quite
prominent in that part of the sky, until sunrise. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast
AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, October 16, 2015.
The program is accessible in most areas of the United States, Canada, Europe,
and Asia, over major AM radio stations. Peter will discuss some of the
most interesting cases that have been submitted to our Center in the recent
past, to include a few reports of sightings for the evening of Friday,
October 16. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS We have received a
number of interesting photos and videos recently, and we will post a few of
them when we next update the website. Posted on Friday evening, October 16, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 09TH,
2015 Our website has
been updated today, with the posting of 151 new sighting report,
received by our Center since October 2nd. As you read the
reports, please be on the lookout for flawed reports. If you encounter
a report which you believe may be flawed, or which may be a hoax, or a
description of a prosaic terrestrial event, please call it to our attention
by sending a message to director@ufocenter.com.
We will address the issue, at our earliest convenience. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport
will make his monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense
radio program on Friday night, October 09th, from 7:00 to 9:00
p.m. (Pacific). Jeff and Peter will host at least two sets of guests,
who experienced sightings of unusual objects in both Fresno and Martinez,
California, on Thursday, October 08th, 2015. Their reports
are linked to below: ·
Fresno, California, Thursday, October 09, 2015, @ 1005
hrs. (PDT)—A husband and wife witness an estimated 30-40 peculiar looking,
“dark” objects hovering in the vicinity of the Fresno-Yosemite Airport.
The husband is former military, and a long-time public employee. The
objects were visible for only an estimated 20 seconds. Husband’s Report Wife’s

Martinez, California, Thursday, October 09, 2015, @
2300 hrs. (PDT)—Two adults, a male and a female, report having witnessed a
huge, triangular-shaped craft, which “blotted out” the sky above their
heads. The male witness is a former member of the Civil Air Patrol, and
also was a member of “NICAP,” a UFO investigative organization. Witness Report Peter also is
scheduled to make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George
Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on

NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 02, 2015 Following shortly
after our website update on September 29th, we have posted another
67 newly submitted reports. Included in the
reports we post as of today’s date are a number of sighting reports from the
evening of Sunday, September 27th, which occurred during the lunar
eclipse of that date, and which initially were posted with times indicating
sightings during morning hours. Our Center continues to receive
intriguing reports of sightings that allegedly occurred during the lunar
eclipse, and we would welcome any additional reports from witnesses to
similar events in the U. S., and around the globe, for that date. RADIO APPEARANCE ON
OCTOBER 02ND, 2015 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to appear on the Coast to Coast AM radio
program, hosted by Mr. George Noory, to give and
update of some of the more interesting cases that have been submitted to
NUFORC since the afternoon of September 24th. We feature,
and link to, some of those reports below, which Peter may touch on during his
3-4 minute interview: ·
Austin, Texas, on Friday, October 02nd,
2015, @ 0436 hrs. (CDT)—An adult male reports that as he was driving to work,
the engine of his vehicle stopped, and all the lights on his instrument panel
extinguished. The driver became aware of a very bright light, “many
times the size of a full Moon,” which he photographs. After the object
disappeared the witness was able to start his vehicle. Witness Report Photo ·
Henderson, Nevada, Monday, September 28th,
2015, @ 2317 hrs. (MDT)—An adult female, who describes herself as a
helicopter pilot, reports witnessing a V-shaped/triangular object streak
across the nighttime sky. Witness

lights, as they drift from south to north in the western sky. Witness Report Video 1 Video 2 ·
Glen Ellyn, Illinois, on Friday, September 25, 2015, @
2010 hrs. (CDT)—Three family members allegedly witness a cluster of an
estimated 10-20 orange lights move across the night sky, and disappear from
their sight after approximately 5 minutes. Witness Report Photo 1 Photo 2 Posted Friday night, October 02nd,
2015. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to appear on the Jeff Rense Radio Program on
Tuesday night, September 29th, 2015, from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
(Pacific). Jeff and Peter will host one guest, who, together with his
wife, experienced a quite dramatic sighting of an object over Paso Robles,
California, as they were outside to view the eclipse of the so-called “blood”
Moon on Sunday night, September 27th. We have posted
approximately 135 new written reports, received by NUFORC since September 24th.
As visitors to our website read the reports, we ask that they keep alert for
flawed reports. We already know that there are several reports for the
evening of September 27th which have defective times, indicating
morning sightings, when in fact the sightings occurred during evening
hours. Those flawed times will be corrected the next time we update our
website. In the meantime, if a sighting occurred during the evening
eclipse of the Moon, obviously it was an evening sighting. We probably will
update the website again later this week. Posted Tuesday afternoon, September 29, 2015. NUFORC SITE UPDATED
ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2015 We have updated our
website, with the posting of approximately 190 recently received
reports. We ask visitors to our site who read the reports to be on the
lookout for flawed reports and hoaxes. If you find what you believe to
be a defective report, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
look into the matter, at our earliest convenience. Thank you! FREQUENT REPORTS OF
VENUS Over the last
several weeks, we have received many reports of the very bright object that
is visible in the eastern, or southeastern, sky during the early morning
hours. It is so bright that it apparently draws people’s attention, the
moment they witness it, and atmospheric conditions can make the object appear
to move and change color. However, the object is the planet, Venus, and
it is not a UFO. We post this statement, hoping to reduce the number of
telephone calls we receive over our Hotline, and the number of written
reports, submitted using our report form. REPORTS OF CLUSTERS
OF RED AND ORANGE LIGHTS CONTINUE For probably a
decade or more, our Center has been attempting to call to the attention of
the public the fact that sightings of clusters of red, orange, and yellow
“orbs,” or “fireballs,” have not only been occurring regularly, but actually
increasing in frequency. The recent posting of new reports appears to
be no exception to this trend, and the phenomenon continues to attract our
attention. For the benefit of
those visiting our site, we highlight below a few of the many “fireball”
reports that we have received over the last week, and which we find to be
particularly interesting: ·
Burien, Washington, Thursday, September 24, 2015, @
2045 hrs. (PDT) Witness Report ·
Mountain Home, Idaho, Thursday, September 24, 2015, @

Oxfordshire, England,
Thursday, September 17, 2015, @ 2110 hrs. (Local) Witness Report The National UFO
Reporting Center is very interested in these “fireball” events, and we would
like to invite everyone who has witnessed one of these events to report the
sighting, using our Online Report Form. We will update the
website again within the next several days, and will attempt to post a few
photos of “fireball” sightings that have been submitted recently, and which
we have not already posted. Posted Friday evening, September 25, 2015. Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will be out of town for the next 4-5 days. Hence, we
would like to request that people call the Hotline only for emergency
purposes. Peter will attempt to monitor the Hotline once or
twice a day, but he may not be able to return calls as quickly as callers
would like to be the case. Consequently, we would request that people
submit detailed, objective, written descriptions of their sightings, using
our Online Report Form, found elsewhere on this website. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER
17, 2015 We have updated the
homepage, as of this date, with the posting of approximately 156 new sighting
reports, received since the afternoon of September 11th. Because we are under time pressure on the
posting date, we have done what we suspect is a slip-shod job of proofreading
the new reports, so we encourage visitors to our website to be unusually
alert to errors and hoaxed reports. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter will make his
weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by Mr.
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific),
on Thursday night, September 17, 2015. Peter will discuss several
interesting recent reports, to include several of those that we have posted
tonight. Statement posted Thursday night, September 17,

has been updated, with the posting of 212 new entries in our database of
sighting reports. We encourage visitors to the site to be on the
lookout for flawed reports and hoaxes. If you encounter a report that
looks out of place, or which appears to contain errors, please call the
report to our attention by sending a note to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue at our earliest convenience. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Director, is scheduled to make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM (hosted by George
Noory, at 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night,
September 11, 2015. Some of the reports that Peter will discuss appear
below: ·
Ashland, Oregon, Saturday, September 05th,
2015, @ 2330 hrs. (PDT)—During their third night of camping out in their
family yard, two young boys suddenly become alert to the fact that there is
an intensely bright, pulsating, source of light above them, and illuminating
their tent. They peek outside, and apparently are seriously frightened
to witness a brightly illuminated disc-shaped object above them. They
race inside the house and alert their father to the event. Witness Report ·
Gibbon, Minnesota, Sunday, September 06th,
2015, @ 2100 hrs. (CDT)—A husband and wife, out walking their dogs, become aware
of a thin, dark object, which appeared to be located between them and a
distant lightning storm. They quickly realize that it appears to be
getting smaller, suggesting to them that it was moving almost directly away
from them. The object appeared to move slowly into the mass of storm
clouds. Husband’s Report Wife’s
Report ·
Mayflower, Arkansas, Thursday, September 10th,
2015, @ 2021 hrs. (CDT)—Three adults witness a very bright white light move
across the night sky, make several abrupt maneuvers, and then stop motionless
in the night sky. The object appeared to display a complex pattern of
blue and white lights. The witness reports that the power in the town of
Mayflower was temporarily interrupted, until the object flew off and
disappeared from sight, approximately 2 minutes later. Witness Report We also would like
to encourage visitors to our site to read the many reports posted for
September 05th and 06th, 2015. NUFORC received 73 written reports for
those two days. Many of those reports describe clusters of red and
orange lights, which NUFORC has been reporting on for many years. This photo, taken over Mt.
Washington, Kentucky, on the night of August 13, 2015, is exemplary of the
many such reports our Center has received. Statement posted on Friday evening, September 11, 2015.
We have updated our
website, with the posting of 100 new sighting reports, received since
Thursday, August 28th, 2015. As visitors to our
site read the new reports, we recommend that they be on the alert for reports
that appear to be flawed, or which may be outright hoaxes. We have
proof-read the reports as carefully as we can, but there is always the
possibility that flaws have escaped out attention. We feature below a
few of the reports that capture our interest, and to which we would like to
call special attention: ·
Oil City, Pennsylvania, Tuesday, September 01st,
2015, @ 2000 hrs. (EDT) - Two adult witnesses observe a peculiar-looking
craft, seen maneuvering in the nighttime sky. The object is reported to

been submitted to NUFORC since May 2012. Witness Report Photograph ·

Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, August 09th,
2015, @ 22:30 hrs. (Central)—Multiple witnesses observe a peculiar ring of
lights, which hovered in the nighttime sky for up to an hour. At least
one witness reports that the lights were visible for up to an hour. We
wonder whether the formation might have been advertising lights, but some
witnesses reported that some of the lights disappeared before the rest of
them did, which seems to us to militate against their being part of an
advertising display. We would like to invite anyone who witnessed the
formation of lights, or anyone who knows what the cause of them was, to
submit a report, using our Online Report Form. Witness Report 1 Witness

Germantown, Maryland, on Friday, May 15, 2015, @ 0945
hrs. (EDT)—An adult male, driving on I-270, looked to the west, and witnessed
three strange looking objects, flying very rapidly from his left to
right. The two objects in the lead looked like railroad tank cars, but
larger, he thought. They were being followed by a much smaller,
dark-colored object, that appeared to be traveling
at the same velocity, and in the same direction, as the other two objects.
Witness Report We will post again,
within the next several days. Posted Friday evening, July 17, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATE ON FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015 We update our site
again today, July 10th, for the third time over the past
week. Since July 7th, NUFORC has received approximately 86
written reports, which now appear in our database of sighting reports. Please note that
there is always the possibility that some of the reports may be defective,
for one reason or another, and that not all of the reports address sightings
of authentic UFOs. Moreover, some of the sightings which were posted on
past dates have been amended with updated information, so they may present
different RADIO APPEARANCES Peter is scheduled
to appear for two hours on the Jeff Rense Radio
Program, beginning at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific), Friday, July 10th,
2015. The program is principally a web-based radio program, access to
which can be obtained at www.Rense.com.
Peter and Jeff will host several guests who have experienced recent
sightings of anomalous objects, to include those individuals who submitted
the following reports: Witness
Report 1 Witness
Report 2 Peter will appear
on Coast to Coast Radio Program, hosted by George Noory,
beginning at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, July 10,
2015. Details of the program can be found at www.CoasttoCoast.com. Peter will
discuss several interesting sighting reports that have been submitted
recently. In addition to
those cases linked to above, some of the other reports that have caught our
attention are the following: ·
Seattle, Washington, Thursday, July 2nd,
2015, @ 2157 hrs. (PDT)—An adult male, while taking a photograph of downtown
Seattle from the vicinity of Lake Union, observes a streak of light across
the viewfinder of his camera. Upon inspecting the photo he had just
taken, he notices two disc-shaped objects, seemingly caught in flight above
Lake Union. Witness Report See photo at right. High Resolution ·
Wadley, Georgia, Monday, June 29th, 2015, @
0128 hrs. (EDT)—Enroute from their home in Georgia
to their new assignment location in Colorado Springs, Colorado, a husband and
wife report witnessing a bizarre looking, disc-shaped, metallic-appearing
craft cross the highway in front of their vehicle. The husband, who has
15 years of service in the military, estimated that the object to have been
perhaps as long as 250 meters in length. He also reported that it was
“spewing” flames out the trailing edge of the disc. The object appeared
to accelerate, ascend, and then it quickly disappeared in nearby
clouds. Witness Report Two renderings appear below.
Posted on Friday afternoon, July 10, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON JULY 06TH, 2015 We updated the
NUFORC website just three days ago, July 3rd, but because of the
large number of interesting reports we received over the July 4th
weekend, we have decided to update again today. In our last
posting, we requested that people be on the lookout for anomalous lights
during fireworks displays. Our request stemmed not so much from a
condition of prescience or clairvoyance on our part, as it did from our
experience over recent years with abnormally large numbers of reports on July
4th. For example, we received 273 reports for the date of
July 04th, 2014, several of which are linked to below, in our last
update. Many visitors to
our site may question our judgment on this matter, wondering whether the
reports arise from fireworks displays. However, we have observed over
several years that many of the reports for July 4th cannot be
ascribed to that cause, and that appears to be the case with most of the
reports we post for July 4th of this year, as well. In our haste to
post these most recent reports as quickly as possible, we have not devoted as
much time to proof-reading the text of the reports as we normally do.
Hence, many of the 170 reports we post on this date, which have been received
over the past 72 hours, remain in the same “raw” form they were in, when they
arrived at our Center. We feature below a
few recent reports that are exemplary of the many reports our Center has
received over the last three days, which address alleged sightings of red,
orange, and yellow fireballs. Often, the fireballs are reported to
appear in clusters of up to 150 or 200 such objects: ·
Syracuse, New York, on Saturday, July 4th,
2015, @ 2130 hrs. (Eastern)—Several members of a family, attending a local
fireworks display, report having witnessed at least 30 orange “orbs,” over
the course of two hours. Witness
Report ·
Montpelier, Vermont, on Saturday, July 4th,
2015, @ 2150 hrs. (Eastern)—An adult female reports witnessing an anomalous
red light, which she asserts was seen maneuvering overhead for 20 minutes
during the local fireworks display. Witness Report ·
Redlands, California, on Saturday, July 4th,
2015, @ 2030 hrs. (Pacific)—Two adult females
witness an anomalous red-orange light maneuver overhead for less than a
minute, and then suddenly…instantly…just disappear. Witness Report ·
Marysville, Washington, on Saturday, July 4th,
2015, @ 2240 hrs. (Pacific)—Two adults, as they drive south on Interstate 5
near Marysville, witness an estimate 11-13 anomalous orange lights in the
night sky. Witness Report We invite visitors
to our site to read the other 166 similar reports which we have posted as of
this date. Posted Monday evening, July 06, 2015.
We begin by wishing
all of our fellow U. S. citizens a Happy 4th of July! We
encourage everyone to be safe with fireworks, particularly in those areas
that are experiencing hot and dry conditions. Also, we invite
everyone who will be attending fireworks displays tomorrow to be on the
lookout for anomalous lights that cannot be ascribed to normal 4th
of July pyrotechnics. For the last several years, our Center has
received many credible reports of strange objects that show up, and linger,
during fireworks displays. We provide below links to a few examples the
273 reports NUFORC received for July 4th, 2014. Other
similar reports appear for the same date during earlier years. A photo
of the Seattle/Lake Union sighting appears at right. http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111216.html http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111296.html http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111115.html http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111073.html
http://www.nuforc.org/webreports/111/S111152.html RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
NUFORC Director, will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast, hosted by
Mr. George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m.
(Pacific) on Friday night, July 3rd, 2015. Some of the
reports that Peter will discuss include the following: ·
Lively, Virginia, September 29, 2012, @ 0650 hrs.
(Eastern)—An adult male witnesses a tube-shaped object, with strange lights
and a transparent nose, hovering just outside his bedroom window. The
strange object suddenly accelerated toward the witness’s home, and passed
directly overhead his location. The next morning, September 30, 2012, a
military helicopter passes directly over the same location, where the object
had been seen hovering, at very low altitude. Witness is an
academician. Witness Report The witness provided the rendering at
right and this photo of the helicopter. ·
La Grande, Oregon, June 23rd, 2015, @ 0022
hrs. (Pacific)—A female truck driver and her co-driver witness an intensely
bright light ahead of their truck, as they are driving eastbound on I-84,
near the Grande Ronde River canyon. As the object continues to approach
their truck, they realize that it is not just one light, but at least four,
which appear to be part of a “light bar.” The lights are so bright that
the witnesses have to avert their eyes from it. The object passes above
the cab of their vehicle, and disappears from the witnesses’ sight. Witness Report Posted on Friday afternoon, July 3rd,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24TH,
2015 We have updated our
database of sighting reports, as of this date. Approximately 104 new,
and newly revised, reports appear in the updated website. Please be on the
lookout for flawed reports. We attempt to remove, or properly label,
suspected hoaxes, or other flawed reports, but once in a while, they slip
through our proof-reading process. PETER DAVENPORT
WILL BE OUT OF TOWN FOR A FEW DAYS Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will be out of town for the next several days, so he will be
away from the Hotline. However, he will check the Hotline remotely,
while he travels. He will make every effort to return telephone
messages on the Hotline, but the responses may be delayed by a few
hours. Nevertheless, we would request that people refrain
from calling the Hotline, and instead, submit their reports, using our Online
Report Form, found here on our website. “PASSIVE” RADAR
UPDATE For the past many
years, Peter Davenport has been discussing the possibility of using a
“passive” radar system for the direct detection of UFOs in the near-Earth
environment. Depending on conditions, a “passive” system could detect
the presence of a UFO, and other targets, at a distance of thousands, or
perhaps tens of thousands, of kilometers above the surface of the
planet. For a discussion of Peter’s proposal, we would like to direct
visitors to our homepage to the article he
wrote in 2004, for presentation at a MUFON symposium in Denver in July of
that year. We also link here
an advertisement
for a commercially produced “passive” radar system, built in Germany,
which exploits the same concept Peter proposes in his paper for detecting
targets, using the reflected signals of commercial radio and television
signals off of radar targets. The advertisement illustrates that
“passive” radar is no longer just a “pie in the sky” solution to target
detection. It is already being used by governments for the clandestine
detection of aerial targets, and there is no reason that it cannot be used for
detecting UFOs, if they are present in the vicinity of our planet. In addition, we
include a link to a recent (June 15, 2015) article that appeared recently on
BBC news regarding the use of “passive” radar for air traffic control in the
U.K.: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33063353
The radar system
discussed in the article would detect all targets that reflect
electromagnetic radiation, and not just aircraft of terrestrial origin.
The equipment, e.g. computers, GPS system, etc., are now available which will
allow humans, for the first time, to detect directly the presence of UFOs in
the near-Earth environment. We will discuss this subject again, in the
near future. We will post again
sometime during the upcoming weekend. Posted on Wednesday afternoon, June 24th,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE IS UPDATED AS OF FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE
19, 2015 We have posted
approximately 112 new, and newly amended, reports, as of this date. There is always the
chance that there are flawed reports among those we post, so we urge visitors
to our site to be discriminating, while reading those reports. If you
encounter a report that you question, or which appears to describe an event
of terrestrial origin, and it is not appropriately labelled, please call it
to our attention, and we will address the issue, at our earliest convenience.
RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport is
scheduled to make the next of what have become almost weekly appearances on
the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory,
at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, June 19, 2015.
Some of the sighting reports that Peter will discuss during the program we
highlight below: ·
·
Florence, Oregon, Wednesday, June 17, 2015, @ 0255 hrs.
(Pacific)—A U. S. Air Force veteran, recently discharged (Honorable) from the
military, drives his wife, who is experiencing an asthmatic episode, to the
north end of Florence, in order to get her in clear air. While on a
rural road, in the hills above the Pacific Ocean, they both witness a pulsing,
amber light hovering just above a nearby field. Full Report ·
Lombard, Illinois, Wednesday, June 17, 2015, @ 2153
hrs. (Central)—An adult male, located near Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, who is a
private pilot and quite familiar with all types of aircraft, hears a
low-pitch, deep rumbling sound, emanating from the night sky. Although
no object was visible to the witness, it appeared to be being followed by
three military aircraft. Full
Report ·
And here is a
late-arriving report, with a high-quality photograph of the object witnessed… ·
Eaton/Galeton, Colorado, Thursday, June 18, 2015, @
2120 hrs. (Mountain)—A husband and wife witness a hovering orange “fireball”
in the nighttime sky. They manage to get a
high-quality photos of the object, which can be seen to the right. We will update our
site again, within the next several days. Posted at 1830 hrs. on Friday,
June 19, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON MONDAY AFTERNOON, JUNE 15,
2015 We have updated our
website, with the posting of approximately 179 new reports, received since
the afternoon of Friday, June 5th, 2015. We have attempted
to remove, or properly label, all reports that appear to us to be either
hoaxes or cases of mistaken identity. However, there is always the
chance that we have missed cases that should have been either deleted, or
properly qualified, so we urge visitors to our website to be on the lookout
for cases that have nothing to do with sightings of authentic UFOs. PHENOMENON OF UNEXPLAINED “FIREBALLS” CONTINUES INTO
ITS FOURTH YEAR Although our Center
has received reports of clusters of “fireballs” for at least the past 17
years, the number of such reports suddenly increased, beginning sometime
during May 2012. We have no idea why this apparent change in the nature
of reports, and if so-called “Chinese” lanterns can be ruled out, which we
believe is typically the case, we then have no idea
what the objects are. We post below a number of reports that will
provide an overview of both the very early reports the Center received, over
the past decades, as well as some of the more recent reports of the same
phenomenon: ·
Rockford, Illinois, February 16, 2000, 2130 hrs. (Central)—Many citizens from this city,
including an FAA Air Traffic Controller, reported witnessing a cluster of
peculiar orange lights. Full Report Similar sightings were reported for other
dates, as well. ·
Carteret, New Jersey, July 15, 2001, @ 0030 hrs.
(Eastern)—Hundreds, or perhaps tens of thousands, of people
were witness to a large cluster of yellow lights. The incident was
reported by all major news media. Full
Report ·
Tinley Park, Illinois, August 21, 2004, @ 2200 hrs.
(Central)—Many reports were submitted from Tinley Park and the City of Orland
from individuals who described having witnessed a cluster of red lights,
which slowly faded from sight. Full
Report ·
Tinley Park, Illinois, October 31st, 2004, @
2000 hrs. (Central)—For a second time in ten weeks, multiple witnesses report
seeing a cluster of slow-moving, red lights. Full Report The reports of the
“fireballs” suddenly increased in number, and dramatically so, in May
2012. In fact, they have been so numerous that they now constitute the
majority of the reports submitted to our Center, during most calendar
months. We estimate that over the last three years, we have posted
approximately 12,000 such reports! Despite the large number of the
reports we have collected, we have yet to arrive at a conclusion as to what
the objects are. We provide below a few of the reports submitted during
this early stage of the phenomenon. ·
Glendale, California, May 15, 2012, @ 2200 hrs.
(estimate) (Pacific)—A witness on the ground observes three red lights “play”
with what appeared to be a law-enforcement helicopter. Full Report ·
St. Louis, Missouri, June 1st, 2012, @ 2100
hrs. (Central)—A police officer and his wife, while driving to the south on
I-55, observe a cluster of “glowing orange” orbs fly in front of their
vehicle. The display apparently causes a major accident on the
interstate. Full Report ·
Beacon Rock State Park, Washington, June 2nd,
2012, @ 2030 hrs. (Pacific)—Multiple adult campers at Beacon Rock State Park,
located 30-40 miles east of Vancouver, Washington, on the north shore of the Columbia
River, witness approximately 20-30 glowing, orange “fireballs,” which
approach from the west, and then turn north. Full Report Some of the more
recent reports of red, orange, or yellow “fireballs” follow: ·
Athens, Texas, July 5th, 2013, @ 2215 hrs.
(Central)—A former astronaut, his wife, and their adult daughter witness six
red objects pass overhead at high speed, each following the path taken by the
identical object ahead of it. Full
Report ·
Glendale, Arizona, September 28, 2013, @ 1915 hrs.
(Pacific)—A retired Arizona Highway Patrol officer witnesses from his home,
over the course of 5 minutes, an estimated 150 orange “fireballs” streak
across the northern night sky, moving from west to east. Full Report ·
Friday Harbor, Washington, January 15, 2015, @ 1830
hrs. (Pacific)—A retired architect and his wife witness a cluster of three
orange lights above the Friday Harbor Airport. The objects hovered in
the night sky for less than two minutes, and then suddenly accelerated to a
blistering speed and disappeared in the northwest sky, last seen ascending at
a steep angle. Full Report A recent, and quite dramatic sighting, during which the
witness captured some high-quality photos with her cell phone, appears
below. It is exemplary of the many similar sightings our Center has
received over the last three years. ·
Arlington, Washington, June 06th, 2015, @
2200 hrs. (Pacific)—A businesswoman stops at the Smokey Point exit off
Interstate 5 to purchase fuel, and witnesses a display of 10-11 bright orange
lights to the north in the nighttime sky. Full Report She captures high quality photos including
the one shown below and these: Close Up 1 Close Up 2 Sighting
Location (Safeway Lot)
We probably will
post again later this week, and will focus on some other rather interesting
reports that have been submitted to our Center recently. Posted on Monday evening, June 15, 2015. NUFORC DATABASE OF
SIGHTING REPORTS UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JUNE 05TH, 2015 We have posted 126
new reports, received by our Center since May 29th. We have
proof-read all of the reports, but there is always the likelihood that some
of the reports may be flawed. Hence, we recommend that as you read the
reports, please be on the lookout for flawed reports and hoaxes. If you
detect that a report may contain and error, please send a message to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
review the report. Visitors to our
site will note that many of the reports state that photos were taken, using
cell phones. We would post those photos, depending on their quality,
but more often than not, the witness does not follow up by sending the
photo(s). We cannot post them, if we don’t receive them! Also, of the photos
that are forwarded to our Center, the overwhelming majority of them are of
such low quality that they are not worth posting, we usually conclude.
That fact explains why we post so few photos, to accompany their respective
reports. However, some witnesses have pledged that they will forward
their photos. If we receive interesting photos, we will post them,
sometime soon. Statement posted on Friday afternoon, June 5th,
2015. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2015 We have updated our
website, as of this date, with the posting of 118 new sighting reports,
received since May 22nd, 2015. Please be on the lookout for
errors and flawed reports. Radio Appearance Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM
program, hosted by Mr. George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, May 29th.
Peter will discuss some of the cases submitted over the last week. NUFORC WEBSITE

UPDATED ON FRIDAY, MAY 08, 2015 Approximately 140
newly submitted sighting reports, submitted to our Center since April 30th,
2015, have been posted to our website, as of this date. We have proof-read all of the reports,
checking for errors and hoaxes, but there is always a possibility that we may
have overlooked some even obvious errors, so as visitors read through them,
we encourage them to be on the lookout for flawed reports and errors.
If you detect what you believe to be an error, please send notification to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue as quickly as possible. RADIO APPEARANCES
ON FRIDAY NIGHT, MAY 08TH, 2015 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make his monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program, at from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
(Pacific), in order to discuss recent sightings, and to host several
guests. Internet access to the program is available at www.rense.com. Peter will also appear for his weekly
report on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by Mr. George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Peter
will discuss a few recent sighting reports. We present below a
few recent reports, which have caught our attention, and which may be
discussed during the radio appearances cited above: ·
Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, on Thursday, May 07th,
2015, @ 2315 hrs. (Eastern)—A young adult male reports having witnessed an
oval-shaped orange object, the apparent size of a full Moon, in the eastern
sky, moving slowly from north to south. The object appeared to have
stripes of orange light on its sides. Full Report ·
Spring Hill, Florida, on Thursday, May 07th,
2015, @ 2115 hrs. (Eastern)—A husband and wife witnessed an orange,
oblong-shaped object move across the night sky, traveling from north to
southeast. Full Report ·
Santa Rosa, California, Wednesday, May 06th,
2015, @ 2330 hrs. (Pacific)—A woman looks out her bedroom window and sees
what appeared to her to be an orange ball of light. The light radiating
from the object appeared to pulse with a regular frequency, and the orange
color would darken, in sympathy with the pulsing of the intensity of the light
radiating from the object. Full
Report ·
Soddy Daisy, Tennessee, Saturday, May 02nd,
2015, @ 0925 hrs. (Central)—An adult male witnesses a silver colored disc,
against a clear blue morning sky, as it streaks to the south above his
car. The duration of the sighting, the witness estimates, was less than
two seconds, during which the object covered an estimated 60-80 degrees of
arc. Full Report Illustration 1 Illustration 2 ·
Fairfax, Virginia, Thursday, May 07, 2015, @ 2000 hrs.
(Eastern)—A husband and wife witnessed a peculiar, round, stationary,
brightly illuminated object in the nighttime sky. They observe the
object with binoculars, telephoto camera lenses, and a telescope, and later
determine that the object probably was a weather balloon, or
“radiosonde.” Similar object reported from Fallston, Maryland, for a
sighting there at 1830 hrs. (Eastern). Full Report 1 Full
Report 2 Photo
of Object Photo
of Radiosonde NOTE: We
include these two reports, not because we believe they are related to the
sightings of a genuine UFO, but rather, because the incident illustrates how
a motivated witness often is able to investigate a sighting of an
unidentified object, and answer, to his own satisfaction, what the object
was. Based on the photos, and on the investigation by the source of one
of the reports above, our assumption is that the object was, indeed, a
radiosonde/weather balloon. Posted on Friday afternoon, May 8th, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON THURSDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 30,
2015 We have updated our
website and database with the posting of 107 new, or recently amended,
sighting reports. Given that we
almost certainly cannot detect and remove all of the errors and hoaxed
reports, in the course of proof-reading them before posting, please be on the lookout for defective reports, as you read
through them. If you encounter what you believe is a flawed report, please
copy the link to the report and send it to us at director@ufocenter.com , with an
explanation of your thoughts on the case, and we will look into the matter at
our earliest convenience. CORRECTION:
On April 8th and 17th, we posted reports from two
witnesses, who reported a cluster of tiny white objects seen moving in the
nighttime sky above the cities of Kamploops and
Lake Williams, British Columbia. However, we have been apprised by Mr.
Ted Molczen, a volunteer with the SeeSat-L group of volunteer satellite
trackers, that the objects were probably fragments of the “Dragon” 2nd
stage rocket of the Falcon 9 supply capsule, which had been launched just a
few hours before the sightings. We express our sincere gratitude to Mr.
Molczen for sharing the information with
NUFORC. We would like to note here that the three witnesses
described the objects they had witnessed in perfect detail, for which we
compliment them. They reported having witnessed at least four tiny
white objects, possibly more, two of which were quite noticeably larger than
the others. That is almost exactly what several of the SeeSat-L ground observers reported, as well. The
larger objects are thought to have been the shrouds around the satellite,
which were jettisoned from the satellite, once it had exited the Earth’s
atmosphere. Full Report 1 Full
Report 2 We share below some
of the reports that have captured our attention, this week: ·
Green Valley, AZ, Monday, August 12, 2015, @ 1330 hrs.
(Pacific) - A heavy-equipment operator witnessed a very bright light
approaching his position at high velocity, and he had the presence of mind to
take two photos of the object with his cell phone. The object
accelerated away from the area so quickly that the witness almost did not
have time to capture a second photo. Full Report Photo 1 Photo 2 ·
Lordsburg, NM, Thursday, January 15, 2015, @ 0230 hrs.
(Mountain) - A trucker sees a very peculiar object being hauled westbound on
Interstate 10, which appeared to straddle the two lanes of the highway.
We strongly suspect that the object has nothing to do with the UFO
phenomenon, but the incident was so interesting to us, and the quality of the
witness’s illustration was of such high quality, we have decided to share it
here. If anyone visiting our site witnessed the same object, we would
welcome a report. Full Report
RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Mr. George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m., on Thursday night,
April 30, 2015. Peter will discuss the cases described above, plus
several others. Posted Thursday afternoon, April 30th, 2015.
NUFORC HOMEPAGE
UPDATED ON THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 2015 We have updated the
website, with the posting of 122 recently received, or revised, sighting
reports, received over the last week.
We have attempted to proof-read and screen the reports to the greatest
degree possible, but there is always the possibility that errors may have
escaped our scrutiny. Consequently,
please be alert for reports that are obviously flawed, or which appear to be
pranks. If you find reports that look
suspicious, please call them to our attention by sending an e-mail to
director@ufocenter.com. Some of the reports
which appear to us to be particularly interesting are the following: ·
New Bedford, Massachusetts, Saturday, April 18, 2015, @
1410 hrs. (EDT)—A man and wife, flying home to Rhode Island in their private
aircraft with their two grandchildren, witness a silver disc pass within an
estimated distance of 200 feet of their plane. Object was visible for only 10
seconds. Full Report ·
Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada, Tuesday, April
14, 2015, @ 2100 hrs. (EDT)—An adult male witnesses a cluster of white lights
move across the nighttime sky quite rapidly.

Peter will discuss the cases cited above, as well as other interesting
recent events and sightings. Statement posted on Thursday afternoon, April 23rd,
2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 17,
2015 We have updated the
website, as of this date, with the posting of approximately 170 new, and
newly amended, reports. Given that we had limited
time, this week, for proof-reading new reports, it is likely that there are
hoaxes and flaws in the newly posted reports. If, in the course of
reading the reports, you encounter what you believe may be an error, please
send the link to the report to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will look at the report, at our earliest convenience. Some of the
recent reports that we found especially interesting are shown below: ·
Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, Tuesday, April 14,
2015, @ 2100 hrs. (Pacific)—A husband and wife report witnessing four faint
white lights move rapidly from west to east across the night sky, oriented in

NUFORC website, as of this date, with the posting of 142 new reports,
submitted to our Center since Thursday, March 26, 2015. The time we
have available to us for proof-reading the reports was considerably less than
we usually devote to that task, so please be on the look-out for flawed
reports and hoaxes. We have intercepted several of what we believe were
“April Fool’s” reports for April 1st, but there may be others remaining among
the ones we have posted. If you encounter a report that you believe is
flawed, or which may be an attempt to contaminate our database with a hoaxed
report, please send us a link to the report, we will review it, and deal with
it appropriately. APPEARANCE ON COAST-TO-COAST AM Peter is scheduled
to appear on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by Mr. George Noory,
on Friday night, April 03rd, at approximately 10:15 p.m.
(PDT). Peter will discuss the cases featured above, plus other reports,
as well. CONFERENCE APPEARANCE Peter will be a
speaker at the Ozark Mountain UFO Conference, to be held in Eureka Springs,

26, 2015 We have updated our
website database of sighting reports, as of this date, with the posting of 91
recently received reports. As you read through the new material, please
be on the look-out for flawed or hoaxed reports. If you encounter a report
that you believe is, in some way, flawed, or is probably not a description of
an authentic UFO, please send us a link to the report, and we will review
it. Some of the cases that caught our
attention are the following: ·
Lisbon, Portugal, Sunday, March 22, 2015, @ 2100 hrs.
(local time) - An adult male photographs a nearby castle, lowers the camera,
and sees two clusters of lights in the nighttime sky. The lights appear
in the photo, as well. The witness reports that he was outside, at the
time of the sighting, thereby ruling out the possibility of a reflection from
the inside of window glass. (NUFORC NOTE: At the time of this
posting, we are considering the possibility that the lights may be lens
flares, caused by pointing a camera at a very bright source of light.
We invite comments on the photo. PD)

rush outdoors, to see what the source of the vibration might be, and they see
nothing, although they can hear the apparent source of the sound recede
slowly to the north. (NUFORC NOTE: CORRECT DATE OF SIGHTING IS

detected anomalies to director@ufocenter.com.
Some of the reports that have captured our attention are the
following: ·
Lansing, Michigan, Friday, March 20, 2015, @ 0400 hrs.
(EDT)—An adult female, who is a medical professional, was awakened by the
fact that her house was shaking, or vibrating. Shortly after having
been awakened by the shaking of her house, the witness noticed also that her
bedroom was being illuminated by an intensely bright light from outside her
house, which also caused her to experience the sensation of warming of her skin.
Witness later reports that her laptop computer was defective, and that the
keys on the keyboard were somewhat “scrambled.” Full Report ·
Moore, Oklahoma, Friday, March 20, 2015, @ 0052 hrs.

Stavropol’, Russia, (east of Caspian Sea), Tuesday,
March 17, @ 0030 hrs. (local/estimated)—A massive, blue flash occurred, which
was visible from at least as far away as 280 kilometers. Witnesses
thought that the flash had been caused by neither lightning, nor a meteor,
although no definitive conclusion had been reached, at the time news reports
were being broadcast by the local news. Some local television reports
(broadcast in Russian), linked to below, provide video footage of the event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMiwiqJ2ORY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCDPlgI4k_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJofcS3s-lI ·

homepage, and database of sighting reports, have been updated, as of Friday
afternoon, March 13, 2015. Before posting
sighting reports, we always proof-read them, to the greatest degree
possible. However, there is always the possibility that flawed and
hoaxed reports may slip through our “net,” so please be on the lookout for
defective reports.

several days, in order to post other photos and illustrations we have
received in the recent past. Posted on Friday afternoon, March 13, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 06,
2015 We have updated
our database of UFO sighting reports by posting 187 new reports, submitted to
our Center since February 20, 2015. Please be on the lookout for flawed
or deceptive reports.
Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make his weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted
by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (PST)
on Friday, March 06, 2015. Peter will discuss some of the more
interesting reports that have been submitted, over the last week. UPCOMING CONFERENCES Peter is a

UPDATED ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 2015 We have posted
approximately 115 new, and newly revised, sighting reports, which were
received prior to noon on Friday, February 20, 2015. The reports have
been reviewed for obvious errors and hoaxes, but there always remains the
possibility that we have overlooked some reports that may be flawed.
Consequently, please be on the alert for reports that appear to contain
errors. Certainly, not all of the reports we have posted relate to
sightings of “bona fide” UFOs, many of which we have labelled as prank
reports, or cases of mistaken identity. Some of the many
reports that we found to be exceptionally interesting are the following: ·
Walburg, Texas, Thursday,
February 19, 2015, @ 09:40 hrs. (Central)—A man and wife were driving north
on Interstate 35, between Austin and Dallas, when they witnessed two white,
tubular- shaped, objects pass across the highway in front of them. The
objects appeared to the witnesses to be flying in a “nose to tail” trajectory
across the sky, and they disappeared within approximately 20 seconds in the
eastern sky. Full Report ·
Arlington, Oregon, on Thursday, February 19, 2015, @
11:55 hrs. (Pacific)—As a woman is driving west on Interstate 84, in the
vicinity of Arlington, OR, her attention is captured by a peculiar “roaring”
sound off to her right side. She glances to her right out over the
Columbia River, and witnesses a metallic looking, circular, disc-shaped craft
descend to within an estimated 15 feet of the surface of the water, maneuver
and turn to the north, and then shoot up into the daytime sky, to the
northwest of her location. The whole sighting lasted an estimated 12
seconds. Witness plans to submit an illustration of what she
saw. Full Report ·
Mt. Shasta, California, Monday, February 16, 2015, @
22:30 hrs. (Pacific)—A Captain and 1st Officer of a commercial
airliner see two very bright, stationary lights in the night sky above
them. The Captain estimates that the lights might have been at 100,000
feet, or higher, and they seemed to him to be stationary. After
approximately a minute from the first sighting of the objects, they simply
extinguished, and sequentially disappeared from the witnesses’ sight. Full Report ·
Tulsa, Oklahoma, Wednesday, February 11, 2015, @ 15:00
hrs. (Central)—A young woman, who elects to remain anonymous, reports
allegedly having been witness a very strange sound, which seemed to emanate
from the daytime sky. She claims that two military jet fighters passed
overhead, and she surmised that they might have been related to the strange
sound, which continued even after the fighter aircraft had passed
overhead. Witness asserts that approximately a dozen power transformers
had “blown up,” causing a large power failure in her area. ((NUFORC
Note: We will attempt to confirm the power failure, at a later date.
PD)) Full Report RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport
will make a one-hour appearance on the Jeff Rense
Radio Program, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific), on Friday night,
February 20, 2015, to host two witnesses to two witnesses to two of the
reports, linked to above. Peter will also

reports, submitted to our Center since February 6th, have been
posted to our website, as of this date. As you read the reports, please
be on the lookout for flawed, or hoaxed, reports. If you detect an
error, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will re-examine the report. Here are some of
the reports that we have found to be particularly interesting: ·
Bristow, Oklahoma, Monday, February 09, 2015, @ 0758
hrs. (CST)—While driving her daughter and granddaughter to school, she
glances up into morning sky, and realizes that there is a line of tiny,
white, lights, all in an almost perfectly straight line, passing beneath the
Moon. She glances back at the road, and then back at the cluster of
lights, as they continue to course generally to the north and
northwest. Full Report Witness

Port Orchard, Washington, Wednesday, February 11,
2015, @ 0230 hrs. (PST)—A young man is awakened from sound sleep by a
peculiar “throbbing” sound. Upon awakening, he realized that the
electrical power in his home was apparently fluctuating. The sound became
louder still, at which time the power failed completely. He noticed
electrical anomalies in his house later that morning. Full Report RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport
will make his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, on Thursday night, February 12, at approximately

website. We will post again
soon, probably within the next several days. Posted on Thursday night, February 12th,
2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 06, 2015 We have updated
our database of sighting reports, with the addition of 115 new reports,
submitted to our Center since January 30th. We have
proof-read the new reports to the best of our ability, but there is always
the possibility that some of the posted reports may be cases of mistaken
identity, or hoaxes. Hence, we encourage visitors to our site to be
alert for the possibility of defective, or misleading, reports. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will appear briefly on the Coast to Coast AM radio program,
hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m.
(Pacific) on Friday night, February 06, 2015. Peter will discuss a few
of the more interesting cases that have been reported to NUFORC, over the
last week, to include some of those that follow below: ·
Tempe, Arizona, Sunday, February 1st, 2015,
@ 1940 hrs. (MST) - A young woman reports having witnessed a distinctly
triangular-shaped craft in the nighttime eastern sky, flying from south to
north. She reports that the object executed a very abrupt turn to the
west, and then appeared to accelerate noticeably. The object appeared
to the witness to follow Interstate 10, taking it either over, or near, Sky
Harbor Airport, and in the direction of the Super Bowl football game, which
was in process at the time. Moreover, the witness reports observing two
military fighter jets apparently pursuing the object, which were flying in a
direction to intercept the object. Full Report Map

San Jose, California, Sunday, February 1st,
2015, @ 2030 HRS. (PST) - While sitting in an outdoor hot tub, facing south,
an adult male witnesses a bright red “fireball” pass slowly from his right to
left (west to east). He reports that the first object was followed by
another nine, seemingly identical objects, which appeared to follow the
course that the first object had followed. Full Report ·
Woodstock, Georgia, Monday, February 2nd,
2015, @ 2115 HRS. (EST) - A husband and wife witness a prominent red orb
approaching their home from over a nearby line of trees. The two
witnesses stand and watch as three more identical objects pass overhead and
disappear over the opposite tree line. Full
Report ·
Atlanta, Georgia, Tuesday, February 3rd,
2015, @ 0645 HRS. (EST) - A woman reports that she, her son, and her daughter
were driving to work, when they allegedly witness a strange-looking object in
the morning sky. The attempt to photograph the object, and apparently
inadvertently photograph an alien creature, standing on the roadway in front
of their car. Full Report Alien Image 1 Alien Image 2 NOTE/CAUTION:
We have spoken with the woman who submitted the report and photo, and she
sounds to us to be both sincere, and serious-minded. She claims to have
seen the creature, at the time the photo was taken. However, the photo
has not be authenticated, and we post it here with a
considerable degree of apprehension, not knowing whether it is an authentic
photo, or whether it might be a hoax. We are aware that there are some
“spam” programs, which are capable of embedding “spam” images of aliens in
photos taken with some types of cell telephones. However, we post
the photo, nevertheless, believing that if it is authentic, humanity deserves
to be aware of the sighting incident. We have requested that sighting
reports be submitted by the other witnesses, who allegedly also witnessed the
creature, at the time. We will post again
within the next several days. Posted Friday
afternoon, February 06, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON JANUARY 26TH AND 30TH We have updated
our database of sighting reports, on both January 26 and 30, posting
approximately 350 new, and newly amended cases. Approximately 800
reports have been received, and posted, by NUFORC during the month of
January. Some of the reports have been proof-read in only a hurried and
cursory manner, so as visitors to our website read them, we suggest that they
please be on the lookout for errors, and for reports that are obvious hoaxes,
or cases of mistaken identity, e.g. reports of stars or planets. Some of the more
interesting sighting reports that have captured our attention are discussed
below: ·
Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington State,
Thursday, January 15, 2015, @ 1830 hrs. (PST)—A man and wife, both
experienced pilots, while driving near downtown Friday Harbor, witness three
distinctly orange objects in the northeast sky, which appeared to be
approaching the witnesses’ location. The objects stopped, and hovered
for a short period of time, at which time, all three objects appeared
suddenly to accelerate, and ascend at high speed into the northwest
sky. A news
article about the sighting was written by a reporter, Mr. Dennis Box, and
published by the San Juan Journal, in which the husband was interviewed about
the sighting. Several other credible witnesses, who also allegedly had
witnessed the objects, contacted the newspaper, and may submit additional
reports to NUFORC. Full Report ·
Murrels Inlet, South
Carolina, Tuesday, January 20, 2015, @ 2100 hrs. (EST)—An adult female
witnesses curious looking lights in the southwest sky, which immediately
attract her attention. Within one minute, the objects approach her
location, at which time she can see that they are three identical, triangular
craft, each with a red light at the nose and, green and white lights on both
sides of the craft. Full Report
·
Anacortes, Washington State, Saturday, January 24th,
2015, @ 2330 hrs. (PST)—Two sets of adult witnesses, at different locations
to the east of downtown Anacortes, see a cluster of approximately eight
yellow lights, split into two separate groups, in the western sky. The
lights disappear, one after another, from the witnesses’ sight. Full Report 1 Full
Report 2 RADIO APPEARANCES
ON FRIDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 30, 2015, AT 8:00 P.M. (PST) AND 10:00 P.M.
(PST)—Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will make a 2-hour appearance on the
Jeff Rense Radio Program, beginning at 8:00 p.m.
(PST). Jeff and Peter will host the witnesses to the three cases cited
above, and will discuss other aspects of the UFO phenomenon. Peter will make
his weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m.
(PST). Peter will provide a brief synopsis of each of the cases cited
above, and will discuss several other issues of interest, as well. Posted Friday afternoon, January 30, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 2015 We have revised
our database of sighting reports with the posting of approximately 390 new,
and newly revised, reports. Approximately 355
of those reports have been received by NUFORC since our last posting on
December 22, 2014. PHOTOGRAPHS, VIDEOS, AND ILLUSTRATIONS Over the last
several weeks, NUFORC has received quite a number of interesting graphics,
both photographic, as well as artistic, which pertain to the reports we have
posted, as of this date. We are sorting through the collection, and
expect to post some of the most interesting, and convincing, examples, within
the next two days. To whet people’s
anticipation of some of the photographic evidence we have received recently,
we post below four photos that were sent to our Center by a current member of
the U. S. military of a sighting that reportedly occurred at approximately
22:00 hrs. (MST) on Monday, December 08, 2014, above an undisclosed military
site in New Mexico. At least three of the photos were taken by one of
the witnesses, using military grade night-vision devices. Full Report Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to make his monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program at 7:00-9:00 p.m. (Pacific) on
Friday, January 09, 2015. Jeff and Peter will host several of the
witnesses to sighting events that are posted to our website, to include
perhaps a form law enforcement officer who experienced a dramatic sighting
near his residence in Oakville, Missouri, just south of St. Louis, at 00:04
hrs. (CST) on Thursday, January 01st, 2015. Full Report. A sighting report was submitted from St.
Peters, Missouri, St. Charles County, for a sighting of a similar object just
two minutes prior to the Oakville sighting, at 00:02 hrs. (CST) on the same
date. Full Report Peter made his
brief weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (PST) on
Thursday night, January 8th, to discuss a few of the recent sightings
NUFORC has received over the past two weeks. Posted on Firday evening, January 9th, 2015. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2014 We have posted
approximately 131 new, or newly amended, reports to our website, as of this
date. We always alert
visitors to the possibility of errors in the reports, so please be on the lookout for flaws in the reports, and most of
all, hoaxes or obvious examples of mistaken identity. An example of the
type of error that occurs is that witnesses fail to indicate whether the time
of their sighting is a.m., or p.m., and it usually takes us several days to
identify, and eliminate, those errors. Another good
example of flawed reports NUFORC received from people in the Los Angeles
area, who witnessed the dramatic launch of an Atlas V rocket from Vandenberg
AFB at 19:19 hrs. (Pacific Standard Time) on Friday night, December 12th,
2014. Several such reports appear in our database for that time and
date, one of which even suggests that the witnesses observed what they
thought may have been electromagnetic interference of street lamps during the
sighting. We suspect, but are not certain, that the lamps’
optically-actuated switches, which are sensitive to ambient light, may have
been activated by the bright light radiated by the rocket’s engine. After we began the
process of updating our website, we received a telephoned report from a young
woman from Staten Island, NY, of her sighting there of a cluster of red lights,
which occurred at 17:45 hrs. (EST) on December 18th, 2014.
It is yet another good example of the many thousands of reports our Center
has received over recent years of clusters of red or orange
“fireballs.” We copy her report below: Date: 12/18/14 Time: 17:45 Duration: 15 minutes Sighting City: Staten Island Sighting State: NY Sighting Zip: 10305 Sighting County: Richmond Witnesses: 1 Shape: Fireball Number of Craft: 10+ Description: Red dots,
followed by red clear orb, followed by more red dots. New Dorp/Staten
Island/New York City: First a series of red dots, low in the air, below
planes. No sound, and swift motion. Followed was a clear red
orb that quickly went by the red dots. The red orb passed and for about
10 minutes, after more and more red dots followed that craft. The location of the event
is: Lat/Lon: 40.57 deg.N
74.1 deg.W. The elevation is 36ft. Wind speed
at this time was NW 16 G 26 Mph. All movement was toward the Atlantic
ocean. Lights On Object: Yes HOLIDAY SCHEDULE NUFORC’S

not be able to update the website for a week, or more, from this
posting. Also, Peter
Davenport will be out of town for much of the holiday season, but will check
telephone messages remotely, as he travels. It would reduce our
workload if people wishing to submit a sighting report could simply go
directly to the Online Report Form on our website, and submit a written
report, rather that telephoning the Hotline. Thank you! RADIO SCHEDULE Peter will make
his traditional weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Standard
Time) on Thursday, December 18, 2014. Peter will discuss some of the
more recent reports. Posted on Thursday evening, December 18, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2014 We have updated
our website, as of this date, with the posting of approximately 94 sighting
reports, received since December 5th, 2014. We make an attempt
to proof-read each of the reports, but we cannot catch all the errors, and
all of the hoaxed reports, so we ask visitors to our site, as they read the
reports, to be on the lookout for obvious errors. If you detect what
you believe is a flawed report, please send a message to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
examine the report at our earliest convenience.

Point Pleasant (Treasure Island), New Jersey, August
20, 1964, @ 00:30 hrs. (EDT)—A young 14-year old boy, who later becomes a
physician, pilot, and military officer, is out admiring the night sky, and
witnesses a “star-like” object streak across the sky, and execute sharp
turns. The memory of the strange incident has remained with
him. Full Report ·
Ironton, Ohio, Monday, November 17, 2014, @ 18:00 hrs.
(EST)—A former, very experienced law enforcement officer, who is also a
commercial pilot, takes his dogs outside for a walk. He notices two

witness’s vehicle. A second similar green light joins the first. Full Report ·
Grande Prairie, Albert, Canada, Sunday, November 30,
2014, @ 13:00 hrs. (MST)—A young woman, driving alone in a company vehicle in

to be of particular interest: ·
Sulphur Springs, Texas, Saturday, November 01st,
2014, @ 06:40 hrs. (CST) - A hunter, sitting on a deer stand, witnesses three very bright discs, surrounded by peculiar
amber rings of light, streak overhead, bank to the southeast, and suddenly

Report ·
Gilson, Illinois, Sunday, November 16, 2014, @ 15:30
hrs. (CST) - A deer hunter, sitting in a deer stand, becomes aware of a small
light, which appears to be approaching him. When it gets to within five
feet of him, it suddenly stops, and hovers. The hunter reaches out to
touch it, and the light suddenly drops to the level of his feet, where he
can’t reach it. The light descends, and disappears in the clutter of
the surrounding trees. The witness is an experienced public
employee. Full Report ·
Jacksonville, Florida, Thursday, November 20, 2014, @
10:00 hrs. (EST) - An adult female, driving south on Florida Highway 9A, near
the Monument Road Exit, sees two USAF F-22 “Raptors” flying across the sky in
formation. Suddenly, a highly reflective, metallic looking sphere drops
vertically out of the sky, suddenly accelerates and overtakes both aircraft,
flying between them, and then accelerates vertically, disappearing from her
sight. The whole incident lasted approximately 30 seconds, the witness
estimates. Full Report RADIO APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
NUFORC Director, will appear on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted

NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON NOVEMBER 14, 2014 We have updated the
website, as of November 14, and have posted approximately 175 new, or newly
revised, sighting reports that have been submitted to our Center over the
last week. As you read the
reports, please be on the lookout for flawed or hoaxed reports. If you
encounter a report that you believe may contain an error, or which may be an
attempt to hoax the reader, please call it to our attention by sending an
e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
review the report, as quickly as possible. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make his monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program at from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
(Pacific) on Friday, November 14, 2014. The program can be accessed
from Jeff’s website, www.Rense.com. Jeff and Peter will host
three guests, who will discuss their sightings, experienced in June 1965,
August 1974, and more recently, on November 13, 2014. Also, Peter will
make a brief appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, beginning at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on
Friday, November 14, 2014. Peter will discuss several of the more
interesting cases that have been submitted over the past week. We will update the
site again in the near future, and will include a few interesting photos and
videos. Posted on Friday afternoon, November 14, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 06, 2014 Because of recent out-of-town
travels by both Peter Davenport and our webmaster, Christian Stepien, we have
not been able to update our
website since October 10th. We apologize for the delay, but
it was unavoidable. We have posted approximately
680 new, and newly amended, reports, most of which have been received since
October 10th, 2014. Due to the large accumulation of new reports,
and because of our desire to get them posted as quickly as possible, we have
not been able to proof-read them as carefully as we traditionally do.
Consequently, there may be a greater than normal number of errors in the new
reports than is typical. Therefore, we encourage visitors to our site
to be on the keen lookout for flawed reports, and to report obvious or
possible errors to director@ufocenter.com.
We
will review the report(s), and will amend or remove them, as required. COMMENT ABOUT THE QUALITY OF
REPORTS The majority of the time we
spend updating our website is devoted to proof-reading and editing reports
that have been submitted via our website. A significant fraction of
them are so poorly composed, and so difficult to understand, we elect not to
post them at all. We are considering not posting those future reports
that are so poorly written that they cannot be understood, and which clearly
have not been subjected to a “Spell Check” function. Hence, if you
submit a report to our Center, using our Online Report Form, and if you would
like to have the report posted to our website, please make certain that all
errors have been corrected, before submitting your report. We no longer
have the time to correct all errors in everyone’s report! Some of the reports that have
caught our attention are the following: ·
Charlotte (Matthews), North Carolina, Sunday, November 02nd,
2014, @ 1900 hours (EST) - At least two adults witness approximately 50
luminous objects in the night sky. Full Report Photograph Sightings by other witnesses were reported in this
article in the Charlotte Observer newspaper. ·
Marne La Valee, France, Monday,
November 03rd, 2014, @ 1750 hrs. (local) - A woman, visiting the “EuroDisney” complex, takes several photos of a passing
float display, and later notices a number of objects in the photo. The
objects appear to be moving in the opposite direction that nearby clouds
appear to be moving, so they may be moving against the prevailing wind. Full Report Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 FUTURE APPEARANCES Peter Davenport is one of several
guests who will appear together with George Noory
at a UFO gathering in Toronto, Ontario, beginning at 6:00 p.m. (local) on
Saturday, November 08, 2014. Details of the event can be found on the
Coast-to-Coast website: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/pages/calendar
We will update the NUFORC
website again early next week, and will include other photos that we are
awaiting. Statement posted on the evening of Thursday, November 06, 2014. NUFORC HOMPAGE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2014 We have posted 228
new reports, or recently amended reports, to our homepage, as of today’s
date. Please note that
four reports for the evening of September 02nd, 2014, have been
amended, indicating that they were, almost certainly, the
result of re-entering debris from the Russian “Cosmos” 2495 satellite, which
re-entered approximately ten hours before the sightings that were reported to
NUFORC. The object(s) seen by multiple witnesses in the Midwest U. S.
may have been equipment, possibly a solar panel, jettisoned from the
satellite, prior to its re-entry. We provide here a link to the article
by Mr. Leonard David, who wrote for www.space.com,
in which the re-entry of the Russian reconnaissance satellite is described: http://www.space.com/27318-russian-military-spy-satellite-fall.html. We express our sincere gratitude to Mr. TED
MOLCZAN for his role in the investigation, and for his having brought the
information to our attention. We encourage
visitors to our website to be on the alert for other reports, which may
address other mundane events, which are not related to sightings of genuine
UFOs. RADIO APPEARANCES ON OCTOBER 10TH, 2014 Peter Davenport
will appear for his monthly appearance on the Jeff Rense
radio program from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, October
10, 2014. Jeff and Peter will host three sets of guests, who have
experienced sightings of suspected UFOs, not only recently, but in the
distant past. We provide here links to those reports, the sources of
which will appear tonight as guests: Report 1 Report
2 Report 3 At approximately
10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on October 10th, Peter will make his weekly
appearance on Coast to Coast AM with George Noory.
Peter will discuss a number of recent sightings, to include a few that
reportedly have involved possible electro-magnetic interference, according to
the source of those reports, to include a recent report from Gainesville,
Texas, on Tuesday night, October 7th, 2014. Full Report Posted Friday, October 10th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON OCTOBER 3rd, 2014 We have just
updated our website, as of this date, with the posting of 272 new, or
amended, reports, received since September 25th. Although we have
read all of the new reports in at least a cursory manner, we have not edited
them to any great degree, so the new reports may not read as easily as those
in some of our earlier postings. Also,
because many of the reports appear in “raw” form, there may be a greater than
normal percentage of reports that are pranks, or which are cases of mistaken
identity. Hence, we encourage visitors
to our site to be on the lookout for defective cases. RADIO APPEARANCE ON
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 03rd, 2014 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make another of what have become almost weekly
appearances on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at 10:15 p.m. (Pacific), on Friday night, October
03, 2014. Peter will discuss several
recent reports, to include the following:
Two young women,
both college students, were lying outside on the grass, following a class,
and they suddenly sighted a very fast-moving, triangular white object,
passing overhead very rapidly. A few
seconds later, they witnessed a round object, which appeared to follow the
same trajectory as the first one had taken.
Full Report 1 Full
Report 2 They also supplied the
illustration showed to the right. Breckenridge, Colorado, Friday, October 03rd, 2014, @
09:30 hrs. (Mountain) A gentleman sees,
and photographs, several objects, which were hovering in the morning
sky. He takes a photo of the
objects. Several other witnesses have
reported the same phenomenon. We
suspect that the objects may be high-altitude, helium-filled balloons,
launched for scientific purposes, although some of the witnesses have
reported that they have seen military fighter aircraft approaching the
objects. Similar objects were also
reported from Bluffdale, Utah, on Thursday morning,
October 2nd. Full Report Photo 1 Photo 2 We will update our
site again, within the next several days. Posted Friday
evening, October 03, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON SEPTEMBER 25TH,
2014 The NUFORC website
is updated, as of Thursday evening, September 25, 2014. We have posted
to our site 213 new, or recently amended, sighting reports. We traditionally
request that visitors to our site remain vigilant, when reading the newly
posted reports, and to be on the constant look-out for defective
reports. However, the warning is even more poignant this week, given
that we learned recently that our Center would be “peppered” with
intentionally bogus reports. If that warning is valid, we believe that
we have detected, and labelled, many of those reports. Other hoaxed
reports probably are present in the database, but their detection is
difficult. RADIO APPEARANCE ON COAST TO COAST AM Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to make an appearance on Coast to Coast AM,
hosted by George Noory, on Thursday night,
September 25th, 2014. Peter’s brief appearances on the
program usually occur on either Thursday or Friday, and they typically begin
at 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Tonight, Peter will
be addressing a number of interesting cases that have been reported to NUFORC
over the last week, including the following: ·
Haleakala National Park, Hawaii, Tuesday, September 23rd,
2014, at 04:37 hrs. (Hawaii) - Two adults were driving up a park road, in
order to view the morning sunrise for the autumnal equinox. Suddenly, a
white, translucent sphere, “…a hundred times the size of the Moon,” rose in
front of their vehicle, from behind a nearby ridge. The object
approached their vehicle, and both witnesses were left with the ·
Lafayette, Louisiana, Tuesday, September 23rd,
2014, @ 23:30 hrs. (Central) - An adult male, who is an engineer and
experienced pilot, was engaged in “sky watching” with an adult friend.
They both suddenly witnessed two bright red “spheres,” hovering directly
above them. The spheres were visible for an estimated 30-40 seconds,
and they moved swiftly to the south, where they disappeared in the haze. The witness provided the photo at
right. Full Report ·
Collinsville, Illinois, Wednesday, September 24th,
2014, @ 19:45 hrs. (Central) - An adult female was driving on Highway 157,
when her attention was suddenly drawn to an extremely bright light that was
approaching her. At first, she thought that the light was a landing
light of an approaching military transport aircraft. However, the
object banked, at which point, the witness could see its outline, and she
quickly realized that it was a rectangular object, with “LED-type” lights
mounted around it periphery. From the vantage point of the witness, its
apparent size was approximately that of a business-size envelope, held at
arm’s length. Full Report Reports are being
submitted so frequently, of late, that we probably will post again early next
week. Statement posted Thursday evening, September 25th,
2014. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 We have updated our
website, as of this date, by posting 236 new, and newly amended, sighting reports.
The 221 new reports are those that have been received by NUFORC since the
afternoon of September 10th, 2014. We have proof-read the reports
as carefully as possible, but there is always the possibility that some of
them are flawed. As you read them, please be on the look-out for
errors, and please call to our attention any errors you encounter by sending
a note to director@ufocenter.com. RADIO APPEARANCE ON
THURSDAY NIGHT, SEPTEMBER 18, 2014 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to make a brief appearance on Coast to Coast AM
radio program, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Thursday night, September 18th.
Peter will discuss a number of recent interesting cases, as well as some of
the seemingly peculiar circumstances surrounding the tragic crash of a
Massachusetts Air National Guard F-15c fighter in Deerfield, VA, on the
morning of August 27th, 2014. Some of the cases
that Peter may address during the program include the following: ·
Anaheim, California, on Saturday, September 13, 2014, @
2315 hrs. (Pacific)—An adult male reports witnessing a transparent,
self-luminous, “balloon-like” object, hovering within 20-30 feet of
him. The object approached him, getting within one meter of his
position, and when he reached out to the object, it suddenly rose up, and
quickly disappeared in the nighttime sky. Full Report ·
Lumberton, Mississippi, Wednesday, September 17, 2014,
@ 2015 hrs. (Central)—A retired aerospace engineer reports having witnessed a
peculiar looking object, with a slowly pulsing red light, fly across the
night sky, apparently being chaperoned by a conventional jet aircraft. Full Report ·
Newburgh, New York, Tuesday, September 16, 2014, @ 2127
hrs. (Eastern)—An adult male captures video footage of a very peculiar white
sphere, much larger than stars in the night sky, apparently descending in the
night sky. The object appears to pass through clouds, and possibly
disrupt them with turbulence. Full
Report VIDEO ·
Cornelius, North Carolina, Wednesday, September 17,
2014, @ 2025 hrs. (Eastern)—An adult male witnesses two peculiar red lights
hovering above the highway he was driving on near Cornelius. Full Report ·
New Bern, North Carolina, Wednesday, September 17,
2014, @ 2050 hrs. (Eastern)—A mother and son report witnessing a gigantic,
dark triangular craft, slowly fly overhead, blanketing out the stars in the
night sky. Full Report ·
Ely (near), Minnesota, on Wednesday, September 17,
2014, @ ~2030 hrs. (Central)—Three males, in their 20’s, report experiencing
a very strange bright flash of blue light that illuminated the entire
interior of their house. No sound was heard, and they report that the
light seemed to them to not come through a window. (Reports not
received at the time of updating the site. If written reports are
submitted to our Center, they will be posted the next time we update the
site.) HIGH-ALTITUDE,
HELIUM-FILLED BALLOON SEEN OVER NEW MEXICO ON SEPTEMBER 13TH—Several
people reported a brightly illuminated object, seen from the areas of
Albuquerque and Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Saturday, September 13th.
The object was a helium-filled balloon, carrying a scientific payload,
designed to investigate black holes in space. Details of the launch and
project can be seen here: http://www.livescience.com/47829-x-calibur-telescope-balloon-black-holes.html. We express our gratitude to Dr. Donald
Burleson, Ph.D., State Director of the New Mexico chapter of the Mutual UFO
Network, for assisting NUFORC in determining that the object was, in fact, a
balloon launch. Update posted on Thursday evening, September 18,
2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2014 We have updated our
website again, as of this date, with approximately 130 new reports, received
since September 5th. Our normal schedule has been to update
the site on Fridays, but we have had to alter that schedule this week, in
order to accommodate our webmaster’s travel schedule. In the recent past,
we have taken a considerable amount of time to proof-read, and often amend,
new sighting reports, in order to make them easier to read. Typically,
we spend several minutes on each report to correct spelling, grammar, punctuation,
and paragraphing, so that a report is even just barely understandable.
However, given the hurried manner in which we have had to update the website,
this week, we have not had the time to devote to the proof-reading
process. Consequently,
visitors to our site will see the form in which many “raw” reports are
submitted, and perhaps will understand why we have been pleading with those
who submit reports to please proof-read and “spell check” their statements,
before submitting them to our Center. In the near future, we plan to
amend our Online Report Form with yet another appeal to have people
proof-read their own reports, before submitting them, in order to help us
minimize the amount of time it takes us to make a report
understandable. At present, the majority of our time is spent
correcting and amending reports, and we would like to change that. As you read the
reports, please bear in mind that some of them may be flawed, and may address
something other than the sighting of a genuine UFO. If you encounter a
report that you question, or which appears to contain a flaw, please send a
note to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will address the issue as quickly as we can. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to appear on the Jeff Rense
radio program on Friday, September 12, 2014, at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific), to
discuss several recent sightings. Jeff and Peter probably will be
accompanied by several witnesses to recent sighting events. Listening
information can be obtained at www.Rense.com.
Also, Peter is
scheduled to make brief, weekly appearances on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific)
on the next three Thursdays, September 11, September 18, and September 25th.
During his appearances, Peter will summarize several recent sighting reports,
received at NUFORC during the preceding week. Listening information can
be obtained at www.CoasttoCoastAM.com. Statement posted on Wednesday, September 10, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 05, 2014 Given the large
volume of interesting our Center has received, over the last five days, we have elected to update the website and database
of sighting reports again, this week. We have posted 167 new reports,
received via our Online Report Form, since August 31st. We
have received others over our telephone Hotline, for which follow-up written
reports have not yet been submitted.
RADIO APPEARANCE ON
FRIDAY, SEPT 5TH Peter Davenport,
Center Director, is scheduled to make another of what have become brief
weekly appearances on COAST TO COAST AM, hosted by Mr. George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday
night, September 5th, 2014. Peter will discuss a few of the
more interesting reports, which have been submitted since his last appearance
on the program on August 22nd. PHOTOS AND VIDEO In prior posts, we
announced that we would be posting photographs and video to our
homepage. We are still sorting through many photos and video clips, but
we post a couple examples below, which provide examples of some of the
higher-quality photos and video we have received recently: West Jordan, Utah –
A photo of a cluster of orange “fireballs,” reportedly witnessed over West
Jordan, Utah, recently is shown to the right. We have not yet received
a written report from the person who captured the photograph, so we know very
little about the incident Canal Winchester,
Ohio, on Thursday, September 04, 2014, @ 20:30 hrs. (EDT) - A man captured a
short video of a very peculiar looking object, allegedly seen hovering in the
night sky, just after dusk. We just received this report and video, so
it is not an authenticated case, yet. We do not know what the strange-looking
object is, and we would welcome other reports from other witnesses. Full Report Video Posted on Friday evening, September 05th,
2014. NUFORC HOMEPAGE
UPDATED ON AUGUST 31ST, 2014 We updated the
NUFORC database of sighting reports on both August 22 and August 29, and we
do so again today, August 31st. Our Center received
1,019 written reports during the month of August, the majority of which
relate to sightings around the world for this month. In the course of proof-reading the new
reports, we have attempted to correct all obvious errors, but it is probable
that errors are still present in many of those reports. Hence, as you read the reports, we invite
you to be on the lookout for errors and flawed reports. If you encounter what you believe to be a
defective or misleading report, we invite you to write us at
director@ufocenter.com, and we will address the issue as promptly as we can. REPORTS OF
PARTICULAR NOTE We post below a few
of the more interesting reports that have been submitted to NUFORC over the
last month: ·
Sykesville, Maryland, Friday, August 29, 2014, @ 23:20

hrs. (CDT) - Two witnesses report observing three “reddish-white” lights in
the night sky. Full Report ·
Newton (Auburndale), Massachusetts, June 11th, 1964, @
20:15 hrs. (EDT) - A family of four, plus neighbors, witness
a strange white light, as large as the Moon, hovering in the night sky. The object illuminated the backyard of the
residence quite brightly. After an
estimated 30 minutes, the object suddenly accelerated rapidly up into the
night sky. Full Report PHOTOS AND VIDEOS Over the last two
months, we have been deluged with many photos and videos of unidentified
objects, in both the daytime, and nighttime, skies. Some of those photos we have posted, and we are sorting through the rest, attempting to
put some order to them. The sorting
and culling process is proving to be quite laborious and time consuming,
which is the principal reason we have not posted more than we have, given
that some of them are quite interesting.
Once we have sifted
through the photos and videos, and determined what appear to us to be the
best and most compelling evidence of the apparent presence of UFO activity on
our planet, we will begin to post a number of them to our homepage. Posted on Sunday
afternoon, August 31st, 2014. NUFORC REPORTS
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 We have posted
approximately 220 new, and newly revised, sighting reports, as of this date. In the event that
any of the visitors to our site detect errors, or seemingly flawed reports,
among the reports in our database, please apprise us of your suspicions by
sending a note to director@ufocenter.com.
We will address the issue at our earliest convenience.
RADIO APPEARANCE ON
FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will appear on the Coast
to Coast AM radio program, hosted by Mr. George Noory, in the latest of
what have become brief weekly updates, regarding some of the more dramatic
and interesting reports our Center has received, over the last week. We
address a few of the reports below: ·
Miles City, Montana,
(in-flight sighting), Saturday, August 9th, 2014, @ 20:15 hrs.
(MDT)—An
FAA employee reports a sighting by a commercial flight crew, reported to the
FAA Enroute Flight Control Facility. The crew
described a highly reflective, very fast moving, object that flew above their
aircraft, which was at high-altitude, and moving very fast. The object
apparently did not appear on radar. Full
Report ·
Barrie, Ontario, Canada,
Saturday, August 9th, 2014, @ 21:45 hrs. (EDT)—A husband and wife
witness a triangular craft, with a pulsing red light on its ventral surface,
fly quietly over their house. Full
Report ·
Iroquois Falls, Ontario,
Canada, Saturday, August 9th, 2014, @ 21:45 hrs. (EDT)—Three witnesses
report observing three red lights drift over a nearby lake, all traveling
along the same path across the night sky. Full Report ·
Cornwall, Ontario, Canada,
Saturday, August 9th, 2014, @ 21:48 hrs. (EDT)—A husband and wife
witness two red-orange “fireballs” pass silently over their house,
disappearing within approximately 30 seconds. The objects seemed to
follow the same flight path across the night sky, and did not appear to
change their altitude. Full
Report ·
New York City (Manhattan), Sunday, August 10th,
2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (EDT)—Four adults witness a dark gray disc in the night
sky. Object suddenly moves away, perhaps at high speed. Full Report ·
Kaunas, Lithuania, Tuesday,
August 12, 2014, @ 22:35 hrs. (local)—An adult male reports having witnessed 6-7
“gray lights,” which passed overhead at high velocity, and which were visible
for an estimated 6-10 seconds. Full
Report Today’s date,
August 15th, 2014, is the 15th anniversary of a very
dramatic, though little known, event that occurred approximately 60-80 miles
to the west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, at 23:18 hrs. (Mountain) on a Sunday
night, August 15th, 1999 . Based on
the information collected by our Center, we believe that the immense flash of
light, which was witnessed from southern Arizona to Wyoming, occurred at in
an area in which three fast-moving objects appeared to converge. For
several reasons, we believe that the flash was not the result of a meteor, as
was reported by Sandia National Laboratories. We believe that the
incident, about which we have lectured extensively, remains
unexplained. We invite visitors to our website to review the collection
of sighting reports posted there for the time and date of the event. Statement posted on Friday evening, August 15, 2014.
NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 08TH,
2014 We have posted, as of this date, approximately
220 new, and newly amended, sighting reports, received by NUFORC since August
1st. The reports have been proof-read to the greatest
extent that time has allowed, but there is always the possibility that errors
and hoaxed reports have escaped our attention. Consequently, as
visitors to our website read through the reports, we request that they be on
the look-out for flawed reports, and that they call such reports to our
attention by sending an e-mail to director@nwlink.com.
We will address the reports as quickly as we are able. RADIO APPEARANCES ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 08TH,
2014 Peter Davenport, Center Director, had been
scheduled to appear on the Jeff Rense Radio
Program, for his normally scheduled monthly appearance, but that appearance
has had to be re-scheduled. Peter probably will appear with Jeff on
another date, later in August. Peter will appear on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific)
on Friday, August 08th. Peter will discuss some of the more
interesting cases, which have been submitted to NUFORC recently. Posted Friday
night, August 08th, 2014. NUFORC HOMEPAGE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 1ST, 2014 We have updated the homepage, as of Friday,
August 1st, 2014, and have posted approximately 156 new sighting reports,
received at our Center since July 26th.
All of the reports have been proof-read, but
there is always a chance that we have overlooked flawed reports. Consequently, as you read through the
reports, if you find one that appears to be flawed, or appears to address a
phenomenon that can be easily explained by a terrestrial event, please send
us an e-mail about the case, and we will review it at our earliest
convenience. Thank you! RADIO APPEARANCE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, AUGUST 01ST,
2014 Peter Davenport, Center Director, will make his
weekly appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday
night, August 01st, in order to provide an update on recent sightings and
events. One of the reports Peter will discuss is a recent
sighting of peculiar object, witnessed near Camden, Delaware, at
approximately 10:30 p.m. (Eastern) on Thursday, July 31st, by a U. S. Army
retiree. He reports witnessing an
object that radiated an intensely “emerald green/blue” light, as it flitted
about the night sky. We spoke via
telephone with the witness, and he seemed to us to be unusually objective and
eloquent in his description of the sighting event. Full
Report POSTING OF PHOTOS—We continue to sort through the
many photos that were submitted to our Center during the month of July, and
will soon post some of the better photos and video that we have received
recently. Posted Friday

WEBSITE UPDATE DELAYED BY INTERNET DIFFICULTIES It was our hope to be able to update the database
of sighting reports in time for Peter’s appearance on the JEFF RENSE RADIO
PROGRAM, but we are experiencing difficulties with our internet
service. Hence, we will not be able to update the database
with all the recently submitted reports, but will post here to the homepage
the reports from the two witnesses, husband and wife, from Baton Rouge,
Louisiana, who will accompany Jeff and Peter on the program to describe their
dramatic sighting on Tuesday night, July 22, 2014. We copy the text of
their reports below: Date: 07/22/14 Time: 21:20 (Central Daylight time) Duration: 20-30 seconds Sighting City: Baton Rouge Sighting State: Louisiana Sighting Zip: 70806 Sighting County: East Baton Rouge Parish Witnesses: 2 Shape: Disk Number of Craft: 2 Summary Description: Two large disk followed by Apache
helicopter with no markings HUSBAND’S REPORT: On the night of July
22, 2014, I was returning home from my night class from my local university
which is only about 3 miles from my house. I was backing my pickup
truck up the drive way and while backing up, I could hear a helicopter get
louder as if it was approaching my house. I parked the truck
and glanced at the clock on the dash noticed it was 9:20 pm. I stepped
out of the pickup and turned to see why the helicopter was so close or low
flying. It was coming from the northwest proceeding to the southeast. To my astonishment,
two large pewter gray colored craft where flying in front of the helicopter
in a tight formation, one staggered to the left rear of the front pewter craft. These objects were approximately 60 to 70 feet across in
diameter, about 10 to 12 foot thick in the centers, the outer edges of the
craft were similar to the edge of a coin like a nickel, smooth with no
markings. I would estimate the sides would be about 2 to 3 foot on the
vertical measurement. The craft made no noise whatsoever, had no
markings, no windows of any type, no lights. The two craft were in very tight formation. The
helicopter was all black, had no markings on the fuselage but was an Apache
Helicopter. This I know for sure, being that I am a USAF veteran and
have worked on a flight line with military aircraft in my past. The helicopter was about 200 yards behind the two craft,
following the two objects but not trying to gain speed or overtake the
objects, almost as it was tagging the objects. The two objects remained
very close to one another, about 20 to 30 yards apart, one behind the other. The formation including the helicopter flew about 200 feet off
the ground, very close to the tree line, the two
disk flew in a straight line and maintained the tight formation. The entire clear viewing window that I had was about 20
seconds, before the formation flew behind the tree line that is behind my
house. I had a clear view of the objects from the start to
finish. The light in the sky was good being that it was in the city and
over a strongly lit neighborhood. I was about 130 yards away from the
flight path of the formation. Right before the helicopter went behind the tree line my wife
was coming out of the house and commented to me, “What in the world is all
the noise from?" Before I could answer her, the helicopter along
with the craft went behind the tree line behind the house and proceeded in a
direction that took the formation away from us. The best description I can give of the craft was that if you
were to hold a 3 inch sugar cookie at arm’s length at about 30 degrees up and
tilt it slightly that would give a good reference to the size and how I was
able to see the bottom and shape, I was able to observe the craft for the
full period of viewing, the disk shaped craft made no noise, very smooth, no
lights, no markings, no appendages, just very smooth, pewter gray in color. I came in and made a detailed drawing of the craft and event
to make sure I remembered every detail. Being ex-military and having worked with aircraft, I know what
I saw was a real event. WIFE’S REPORT: Here is a written report by me of the event on the 22nd. that occurred with my husband and the objects
and the helicopter. Secondary witness to the event in Baton Rouge Louisiana; July 22, 2014. My husband who attends night classes at a local college called
to let me know he was on his way home when he left his school. He does
this so I can put the dogs up in the house and open the gate in the driveway
so he can back in with his pickup truck. It only takes about 5 to 10
minutes for the drive home from the school. After I had gone outside and opened the gate, I went back
inside the house to wait for my husband to drive in. It was just a few
minutes, maybe 5 minutes or so, when I started to hear a noise outside.
The noise continued to increase to the point that it was loud and had me
concerned. I knew it was the sound of a helicopter and I thought it must
be flying very low over the house so I went out to see why the noise had
gotten so loud. By this point it sounded like it was right over the
back of the yard at our house and I was very concerned of what was going
on. I went out the back door and started walking out under our
carport to investigate the noise. I saw my husband had already backed
up the driveway in his truck and was standing by the driver side rear wheels
staring over the back of the property pointing and saying something out loud
to me. I could not hear what he was saying because of the noise of the
helicopter. I walked rather quickly out from under the carport to see what
he was pointing at and I saw a black helicopter go behind the tree line very
close to the top of the trees behind our house. My husband seemed to be in shock at what he saw and kept
asking me if I saw the other objects. I did not, being that I was
walking from the backdoor through the carport which is covered and it took a
bit to walk from the back door out into our driveway where I could get a good
view. I did manage to see the helicopter. My husband came inside with me visibly upset by something he
had seen and began explaining it to me and drawing down his sighting. I
know my husband well enough to know that if he saw something like this he
would not say so without it being a real event. This is what I witnessed that night. If you any questions my cell number is 225-((number deleted)) Thank you ((name deleted)) Baton Rouge, La. WEBSITE AND DATABASE UPDATED ON SUNDAY, JULY 20th, 2014 On this 45th anniversary of man’s first landing on the Moon, we update
our website by posting the approximately 278 reports received by our Center,
since July 11th. In our last posting of two days ago, July 18th, we alluded to the
dramatic event that had occurred over the southern tier of the U. S. on the
evening of July 12th at approximately 9:10 p.m. (Central). In our posting of tonight, July 20th, we
include the approximately 65 reports NUFORC received of that incident,
including one from an airline co-pilot, who was treated to a very clear view
of the event out of his cockpit window.
At the time of his sighting, his aircraft was located approximately 60
miles north of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, and was flying on a heading of 210
degrees, and at an altitude of approximately 32,000 feet. The co-pilot estimated that the object was approximately
20 degrees above the horizon, in front of his aircraft. During our telephone conversation with the aviator, he emphasized how
dramatic and bizarre the event was, and how rapidly the object was traveling
across the sky. He stated that he did
not believe that the intensely bright object, which suddenly split into two
separate objects in front of his aircraft, was a meteor, many of which he has
observed from the cockpit, during his 30-year career in aviation. He states in his report that other pilots
in the area witnessed the same event, and discussed it with the Air Route
Traffic Control Center. We would like
to encourage those pilots to submit additional reports, describing what they
witnessed. Full Report Here is another report of what appears to NUFORC to be the same event
as the one witnessed by the co-pilot, and by many others in Texas, Louisiana,
and other states. The report arrived,
just as we were in the process of updating our website, so we post it to our
website, even though it does not appear in our database of sighting reports: Date: 07/12/14 Time: 20:20 (Note: Time subject to correction from data on
telephone bill.) Duration: 3 seconds Sighting City: Lafayette Sighting State: Louisiana Witnesses: 1 Shape: Light Number of Craft: 1 Summary
Description: Brightest, fastest, thing
I have ever seen in the sky; around Lafayette, Louisiana, area. Description: The sky was grey, just after sunset. I was heading back to Lake Charles from
Baton Rouge, after taking a state test.
Was on the phone with a friend and I saw it. It was so bright and so fast, it was
unreal. There
was a thin cloud horizontally it was maybe ‘6 inches’ thick, in my view, but
probably quite large in reality. I saw
it for about one second, going so fast into the cloud, and it split a second
later, and was on the other side of the cloud within 2 to 3 seconds. Shortly thereafter, it was out of the
atmosphere. I
could tell that it was not following the curvature of the earth. Instead, it faded into the atmosphere. I really cannot stress how fast and how
bright this thing was. Our Center is very interested in the event of July 12th, and we would
like to encourage any witnesses to it to submit a detailed report, describing
their sighting. If any of the visitors
to our website elect to submit reports of the event, we would be most
grateful if they would please include in the report the witness’s location;
the direction he/she was looking, while facing the object; the angle of
elevation to the object; how many degrees the object traveled across the sky;
and in how many seconds it took for the object to cover that angle (or
arc). That will assist us in any
attempt we may initiate, to calculate the velocity of the object. Thank you! Here is another sighting report, which just arrived from Kennebunkport,
Maine, which we thought might be of interest to our visitors, given that it
probably was visible from the Bush residence in Kennebunkport, Maine: Date: 07/20/14 Time: 21:30 Duration: 2 minutes Sighting City: Biddeford Sighting State: Maine Sighting Zip: 04005 Witnesses: 2 Shape: Circle Description: Unsure if this was a UFO sighting. There was a large red ball, high in the sky. No tail.
It dropped straight down over about 2 minutes, in the direction of the
Bush compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, and made a loud noise. We will update our website again, within the next several days, and
will post some of the best video and still photos we have received lately Statement posting on the evening of Sunday, July 20th, 2014. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON JULY 18, 2014 We have updated the website, as of the evening of Friday, July 18, 2014. We are very pressed for time, so we may be
able to do little more than update the homepage, and leave the remainder of
the posting for the weekend. We will
update the database of sighting reports either later tonight, or over the
weekend. We have devoted a great deal of time to proof-reading, during the
past week, trying to make sense out of many poorly written reports. We have attempted to remove flaws and
hoaxed report, but there is always the possibility that we have overlooked a
few flawed reports. If you encounter a
report that appears dubious, please call it to our attention, and we will
address the issue immediately. You can
send your comments to director@ufocenter.com. EVENT OVER THE SOUTHERN U. S. ON SATURDAY NIGHT, JULY 12TH, 2014 On Saturday night, July 12th, the night of the “super” full Moon, our
Center’s telephone Hotline was deluged with reports of an event that appears
to have occurred over the states of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, and perhaps California.
The people who telephoned reported that they had witnessed at least
one bright white light, which moved across the sky at very high speed. One witness reported that the brilliantly
bright object had crossed the sky, from horizon to horizon, in under 4-5
seconds, he estimated. A co-pilot, whose aircraft was approximately 60 miles north of Ft.
Smith, Arkansas, and at an altitude of 32,000 feet, reported that the object
passed from east to west in front of his aircraft at an angle of elevation of
approximately 20 degrees. The witness
reported that the object suddenly split into two separate objects. He emphasized, however, that the object was
not a meteor, many of which he has witnessed during his three decades as a
professional aviator. We will post again, and update the database of recent sighting reports,
within the next day or two. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATE ON FRIDAY, JULY 11TH, 2014 We have updated our website,
as of this date, and have posted approximately 300 new sighting reports,
submitted since July 5th. We have
posted almost 600 reports for the month of July, which reflects a rather
significant increase in the number of reports that traditionally are reported
during a typical calendar month. Approximately 360 of the 600
reports are for the period from July 3rd to July 5, which might lead those
who visit our website to conclude that those reports might be related to fireworks
displays on the evening of July 4th.
However, careful reading will quickly show that the individuals who
submitted their reports had ruled out that possibility, before submitting
their reports. There is always the
possibility that we may have overlooked errors in reports, so we invariably
suggest that visitors to our site be on the lookout for 1) errors in reports,
2) hoaxed reports, 3) reports containing personal data, 4)
profanity, and 5) other oversights on our part. If you encounter a report that clearly does
not address a possible sighting of an authentic UFO, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
re-inspect the report. PETER DAVENPORT WILL HAVE TWO RADIO APPEARANCES ON
FRIDAY, JULY 11TH Peter will make his monthly
appearance on the JEFF RENSE RADIO PROGRAM, hosted by Jeff Rense, appearing from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific
Time Zone). During the first hour of
the program, Jeff and Peter will be accompanied by several sets of guests,
who experienced the following sightings: ·
Niles, Illinois, Thursday,
July 3rd, 2014, @ 23:15 hrs. (Central) - A senior Illinois Highway Patrol
Officer witnessed two very prominent red spheres maneuvering in the night
sky. They maneuver in the night sky, and apparently
went streaking off. The Officer’s
electronic equipment may have been affected by the presence of the objects. Full Report ·
Harrington, Washington,
Saturday, July 5th, 2014, @ 22:05 hrs. (Pacific) - Four adult witnesses,
including Peter Davenport, Director, witnessed a very bright white light,
seen streaking through broken clouds.
The object may have been up to from three to eleven miles’ distance
from the witnesses, and it may have covered a distance of approximately three
to five miles, or more, in 8-10 seconds.
Full Report Other witnesses may be
included in the program, as well, depending on their availability. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO COAST AM WITH GEORGE NOORY Peter Davenport will make a
brief appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory,
at approximately 10:15 p.m., on Friday, July 11th, 2014. Peter will discuss the large volume of
sighting reports received by NUFORC, over the last week, and will address a
few of the more interesting reports he has received during that time. PHOTOGRAPHS NUFORC has been inundated
with both sighting reports, and photographs and video clips, over the last
week. Following this update of our
website, we will begin to process the videos, and post the ones that we
believe are the most interesting. Most
of the photographic evidence that has been sent to our Center pertains to
clusters of red and orange “fireballs,” a phenomenon that we have striven to
bring to the attention of the world’s community, over recent years. In the
meantime, we post below a few of the better photos, together with their
associated reports: Seattle, Washington, Friday,
July 4th, 2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (Pacific) - A woman, who is a professional
musician, her son, and her aunt all witness the same peculiar red/orange
lights in the night sky, from three different locations, before the Lake
Union fireworks display, and capture the photo below. Full
Report
Quebec City, Quebec, Canada, on Saturday, July 5th, 2014, @ 22:15 hrs.
(Eastern) - A woman reports having witnessed two red lights streaking across
the night sky. She captured the photo
below with her cell phone. Full Report
Late-Breaking Case: Just as we were finishing updating the
website, a sighting report arrived from Rothesay, New Brunswick, Canada,
which appears to be so nicely prepared, we thought
we would make a special effort to post it with this update, even though it
does not yet appear in the posted database of sighting reports. It will appear in our database of cases
when we next update it. Date: 7/10/2014 Time: 21:45 Duration: 2 minutes (approx..) Sighting City: Rothesay Sighting State: NB Sighting Zip: E2E 1W6 Sighting Country: Canada Sighting County: New Brunswick Witnesses: 3 Shape: Fireball Number of Craft: 2 Two
bright orange fiery balls flying overhead as family star gazes on deck; one
disappears and becomes see through. Description:
The first object was of a giant fireball-like object moving across the sky at
a speed similar to the speed of the space station. It was not a meteorite because it was way
too large, didn't have a tail and didn't burn out. It was not a plane because it didn't not
have blinking lights and there was a plane flying overhead shortly
afterwards. It made a sound like a low
thrum. It made the dogs nervous and
they started growling. The
second one came, heading in a different direction, less than a minute after the
first one disappeared over the horizon.
It flew overhead and then disappeared, but we could still see the
shape blocking out the light of the stars overhead as it moved across the
sky. It was not quite shimmery, but
kind of like it looked reflective or see
through. It made the same sound until
it went see “through.” Then it was
silent. Very
strange! We tried to film it. It should have shown on the video as it was
so large, but we have no video footage, even though our voices were heard. The sound did get picked up, however. We would like to know if any satellite or
space debris has been reported breaking up in the atmosphere. We've never seen anything like it and we love
to star gaze on clear nights. We will update the site again, within the next several days, and will
attempt to post some of the better video clips we have received of
interesting sightings. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED AGAIN
ON JULY 05TH, 2014 Given the dramatically large
number of reports that our Center has received over the last 24 hours, we
have decided to update our website again on the day after our last update. Also, the similarity of many of the
reports, i.e. descriptions of clusters of red or orange “fireballs,” has
motivated us to post the information as quickly as possible. Many people might naturally assume that the
reports of “fireballs” are related to fireworks displays on the evening of
July 4th, but we do not believe that is a credible explanation for many of
the reports. We feature below a few of
the cases that cause us to question whether the “fireball” phenomenon is
related to 4th of July fireworks: ·
Portage, Indiana, Friday,
July 4th, 2014, @ 21:00 hrs. (Eastern) - Multiple adult witnesses observe
several red orbs which appear to converge toward the same area of the night
sky. Full Report ·
Monroe, Michigan, Friday,
July 4th, 2014, @ 22:30 hrs. (Eastern) - A professional photographer observes
four odd yellow lights in the nighttime sky. Full Report ·
Pacific Grove, California,
Friday, July 4th, 2014, @ 21:21 hrs. (Pacific) - Two witnesses observe two
red/orange spheres move across the ocean, then rise up and disappear into the
clouds. Full Report ·
Seattle, Washington, Friday,
July 4th, 2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (Pacific)—Two adult witnesses observe three
orange lights drift silently across the night sky. Full
Report
PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEO
FOOTAGE: We have received many still
photos and videos of the many sightings that were reported to our Center,
last night, and we will post them when we next update. Our principal objective with this posting
is to post the approximately 140 reports that were submitted on July 4th,
most of which were of sightings for the evening of that date. PUBLISHED
ARTICLE IN THE ECONOMIST, USING OUR DATABASE OF SIGHTING REPORTS On
Friday, June 20th, NUFORC was contacted by a writer/journalist at The
Economist, based in London, requesting permission to use some of the data
from our website. After the exchange of several e-mails with the
writer, we finally consented to allow them to use some of the reports. Here
is the result of that permission.
Because of the
obviously frivolous nature of the article, we now regret having had any
contact with them, but we cannot undo that mistake. If you are as
annoyed by the foolish nature of the article as we are, we would encourage
you to send a note with your thoughts to The Economist or add a comment to
the comment section at the end of the article. Posted on Saturday evening, July 5th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON JULY 4TH, 2014 To our fellow
Americans, we wish you all a Happy 4th of July! We use this
American Holiday as a good occasion to update our website, bringing the
latest UFO sighting data to those who might be interested in the
subject. As always, we encourage everyone who reads the reports to be
on the lookout for flawed or hoaxed reports, or reports for which there is an
obvious explanation. We note that we
have received an unusually large number of reports, over recent days, from
individuals who have elected to remain totally anonymous, and who have
provided no contact information. Moreover, in some of those cases,
similar looking reports have been submitted in rapid sequence. This
makes us wonder whether some of those reports might be intended to mislead us
into believing them to be serious reports. We always attempt to label
those reports for which the source has elected to remain anonymous, or who provides
no contact information, so visitors to our website will be able to decide for
themselves whether any given report is authentic, or perhaps not. If you encounter a
report whose authenticity you question, please send an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue as quickly as possible. RADIO APPEARANCE ON
COAST TO COAST FRIDAY NIGHT, JULY 04TH Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make a brief, 3-minute appearance on Coast to Coast AM
radio program, hosted by George Noory, on Friday
night, July 4th, to talk about some of the latest cases received
by NUFORC, over the last two weeks. Some of the reports that Peter may
discuss include the following: ·
Avalon, California, on Interstate 5, Tuesday, June 24,
2014, @ 23:30 hrs. (Pacific)—Three adults were driving north on
Interstate 5, when one of the passengers called to the attention of the other
two that there was a strange object hovering directly above the
vehicle. The driver estimated that the object was not more than
approximately 30 feet above the car, and it appeared to have at least four
flashing blue lights on it. The object suddenly “jumped” a distance,
estimated by the passengers to have been approximately one mile, a distance it
covered in an estimated 5-10 seconds. The object may have then
landed. The witnesses may have experienced physiological responses, as
a result of the incident. Full Report ·
Red Hook, New York, Saturday, June 28, 2014, @ 21:45
hrs. (Eastern)—A
father and daughter witness four V-shaped objects pass overhead, in an
irregular formation, and fly to the north-northwest. The father is a
former military officer, who states that he is familiar with all types of
military aircraft. Full Report ·
Byron, Texas, Thursday, July 3rd, 2014, @
04:45 hrs. (Central) - A young woman witnessed a strange light streaking
around her backyard. Her report, which just arrived before this
posting, is copied below: Date: 07/03/14 Time: 04:45 Duration: 3 minutes Sighting City: Bryan Sighting State: TX Sighting Zip: 77802 Sighting County: Brazos Witnesses: 1 Shape: Unknown Number of Craft: 1 Description: Fast moving low level bright light in my backyard. Description: On Thursday, July 3, 2014, at about 4:45 am,
I let my dog out in the backyard, and about 3 minutes later, he started
barking, as if there was an intruder outside. I waited for an estimated
2.5 minutes after the barking started before I opened the door, only to see a
very bright white light that was possibly 2-4 feet in dimensions, but I could
not ascertain whether it was circular, rectangular, or some other geometric
shape because of its movement speed. This object could have been
elongated (longer than wide giving off a trailing light impression). Because of its brightness, it was lighting about ¼ of our large
back yard. Upon my seeing the UFO, it continued to move very fast in
random directions around the backyard at an estimated height of 5 to 6
feet. While I viewed the UFO, it appeared to stay about the same height
above the ground as it darted about while staying in the backyard area.
It took me about 15 seconds to realize what I was seeing after I opened the
door to see my dog barking and jumping at the fast moving UFO which was a
single light source. I then called my dog’s name and he ran through the open door
back into the house and I closed the door. I then turned off one of the
patio lights (leaving another on) by quickly walking to the patio light
switch (possibly 20 ft. away) and then immediately looked through our
backyard glass French door and the UFO was no longer visible. So,
although I viewed the moving UFO for about possibly 30 seconds, I believe the
UFO was in the backyard for about 3 minutes, because of the estimated
duration of my dog barking.

Friday night, July 4th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON JUNE 28, 2014 We updated our
website on June 24th, but we have decided to do so again, three
days later, given the interesting cluster of sighting reports that have been
submitted to our Center, over the last 72 hours. In particular, we
would like to call to the attention of the visitors to our site the
inordinately large number of reports that have been submitted to NUFORC from
South Carolina. We have no idea why so many “fireballs” are being
observed in that part of the U. S., but the phenomenon has us intrigued. PETER DAVENPORT WILL BE AWAY FROM THE CENTER FOR SEVERAL FEW DAYS Peter Davenport
will be out of town, and away from the Center, for the next several
days. He will check the Hotline once or twice a day for messages, and
will attempt to return messages, as quickly as possible. It would be
helpful if people could refrain from using the Hotline for anything but
sightings of suspected UFOs, and we would like to invite people who have had
sightings to submit a written report, using the Online Report Form, found on
this website. WEBSITE UPDATED
ON JUNE 24, 2014 Because of
the unusually large number of interesting reports that have been submitted to
the National UFO Reporting Center since June 20th, we have decided to update
the website again, just four days after our last posting. Given that
we are updating the site under considerable time pressure, we may have missed
a few flawed reports during the proof-reading process. Consequently, we encourage visitors to our
site to remain attentive for possibly flawed, or hoaxed, reports. We always attempt to remove, or label,
them, but there invariably are some that escape our attention. RADIO
APPEARANCE ON TUESDAY, JUNE 24TH, 2014 Peter
Davenport, Center Director, will make a hour-long
appearance on the Jeff Rense radio program on
Tuesday, January 24th, from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific Daylight
Time). Jeff and Peter will be
accompanied by two witnesses, the first, a former U. S. Navy fighter pilot,
who witnessed four rapidly maneuvering “fireballs” above his location in
Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, on the night of June 20th, 2014, Full Report, and the other, a young woman who
witnessed a bright orange “sphere” fly at her car at high speed between
O’Fallon and St. Peters, Missouri, approximately ten minutes after the
sighting in South Carolina. Full Report Reports
are being submitted to our Center so rapidly that we probably will post newly
received reports later this week. Posted on
Tuesday afternoon, June 24th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 2014 We have
updated our website, as of this date, and have posted approximately 210
reports which have been submitted to our Center, since June 13th. We proofread all of the reports, before
posting them, but there is always a chance that we have overlooked flawed
reports. As you read the reports,
please be on the lookout for defective reports, of for reports which appear
to have an explanation of terrestrial origin. RADIO APPEARANCE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, JUNE 20, 2014 Peter
Davenport, Center Director, will appear briefly on the Coast to Coast AM
radio program, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) on Friday night, to discuss recent
sighting reports. A few of the reports
that he will touch on appear below: Denver,
Colorado, Thursday, June 19, 2014 @ 21:20 hrs. (MDT) - A husband and wife
witnessed a stationary orange ball of light, the apparent size of which was
equal to a pencil erasure, held at arm’s length. They estimate they witnessed it for
approximately 5 minutes, at which point, the object appeared to suddenly
accelerate and shoot off into the night sky. Here is the witnesses’ report,
which arrived just as we were updating our website: Date: 6/19/14 Time: 21:20 Duration: 5 minutes Sighting City:
Denver Sighting State: co Sighting Zip: 80123 Sighting County:
Denver Witnesses: 2 Shape: Oval Number of Craft: 1 Description: Round,
fiery-red, stationary object in the sky. Description: In the
southern sky saw a round red object stationary at about two o’clock in the
sky. It did not seem to move but flickered as if on fire. I did not have any
field glasses so this was with normal vision. The object appeared to be about
the size of a pencil erasure held at arm’s length. The object grew smaller as
it appeared to travel away from me at great speed. Los
Angeles, California, Wednesday, June 18, 2014 @ 22:30 hrs. (PDT) - At 22:52 hrs., NUFORC received its first of what proved to be a
dozen, or more, reports from people located to the southeast of the Los
Angeles basin. The witnesses reported
observing at least two very bright red lights, which appeared to be
stationary. The luminosity seemed to
the witnesses to fluctuate quite dramatically. We
received reports about the event from Mission Viejo, Temecula, Chino, Lake
Forest, Dana Point, Carlsbad, Oceanside, Moreno Valley, and Laguna Niguel.
Some people reported that the lights seemed to hover
stationary for an hour, or more. The
incident was reported by local television news stations, but no adequate
explanation for the lights was provided by any of the television reports,
although one witness who was interviewed reported seeing “smoke.” Visitors
to the NUFORC website are invited to read the reports from southern
California for that date. We post here
a video, taken by a witness in Laguna Niguel. Full Report Video Myrtle
Beach, South Carolina, June 2014 (multiple reports)—Our Center has received
approximately two dozen reports this month from South Carolina, most of which
address sightings of red, orange, and yellow “fireballs.” We have received reports of these objects
from the vicinities of vicinities of Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach,
Conway, Cherry Grove, Surfside Beach, Isle of Palms, Georgetown, Easley, Pawleys Island, and Murrells Inlet. We copy
below an example of the type of report we have been receiving, lately. This report arrived at our Center on the
evening of Friday, June 20th, just as we were updating our website: Date: 06/20/2014 Time: 21:35 Duration: 2 minutes Sighting City: Murrells Inlet Sighting State: SC Sighting Zip: 29576 Sighting
County: USA Witnesses: 1 Shape: Triangle Number of
Craft: 5 Description: At approximately 9:35 p.m. this evening, I
observed 4 glowing objects coming from S moving N/NE traveling between 70-200-mph
at about 600-800 feet in altitude and climbing over Murrells Inlet South
Carolina. (Highway 707 at around
Tournament Blvd.) The objects were
flying in pairs of two. The appeared
to be parasails with lights around them but they were moving too fast and
climbing too fast to be a parachute.
They were arc shaped and looked to be 40-50 feet across. When first observed
they were slow, then within a matter of 15 seconds sped up and flew into a
cloud later at a high rate of speed. There was no sound associated with these
objects. Zero sound. I thought they were flares initially but
I’ve never seen flares slow down, speed up and
accelerate as these did. The lights associated with these craft was a yellowish haze
with stronger lights in the center trailing edge. No blinking lights observed. This is one of the
strangest sightings I have ever seen. I am a pilot and
flew military aircraft in the 70’s. I
also fly radio control aircraft and sailplanes. This occurrence does not
match up with anything I’ve ever seen. One other identical
craft over-flew about 30 seconds after the first 4 craft flew over. Total of
5 craft. We will
update our website again next week. Posted
Friday night, June 20th, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON JUNE 13TH, 2014 We have
posted approximately 190 reports to our database, which have been received,
or amended, over the last week. As you
read the posted reports, please be on the lookout for flawed or hoaxed
reports, or reports for which there appears to be a terrestrial explanation. RADIO APPEARANCES ON JUNE 13TH Peter
Davenport, Center Director will appear on the Jeff Rense
Radio Program at 7:00 p.m. (Pacific) for a 2-hour appearance with guest
witnesses. The witnesses will discuss
the following sightings: ·
North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Tuesday, June 10th,
2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (EDT) — Multiple reports have been submitted for sightings
in North Myrtle Beach, Myrtle Beach, Cherry Grove, Conway, Surfside Beach,
Georgetown, Pawleys Island, Columbia and
Darlington, South Carolina, over recent days.
Two of the witnesses who submitted reports will discuss their
sightings in North Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Beach. Full

on a steep driveway, when he was suddenly illuminated from above by an
extremely bright flash of white light.
The incident left him profoundly unsettled. Full
Report Peter will
make another of what have become brief weekly appearances on the Coast to
Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m., Friday, June 13th.
Peter will discuss the dramatic cases shown above, as well as several
others that have occurred recently around the world. Here are
several other interesting reports which caught our eye: Summerville,
South Carolina, on Saturday, December 07th, 2013, @ 19:16 hrs. (EST) — A man
was walking his dog and reports having witnessed a bright red, glowing object
in the sky. He captured a photo of the
object, shown below. Full Report
Thomasville,
North Carolina, on Thursday, June 12th, 2014, at 17:00 hrs. (EDT) —Two adult
witnesses observe a rectangular flying object overhead for 2-5 minutes. The object ascended into clouds. ((NOTE:
We wonder whether the object might have been a so-called quad-copter,
but the witnesses do not indicate witnessing propellers of any kind. Also, LED lights are not available that
give off a yellow color, and a quad-copter probably would not be flown into
cloud. It could be quite dangerous to
do so.)) This is a late-arriving
report, so we copy it below. It does

UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JUNE 6TH, 2014 We have
posted approximately 50 new reports to our database, which have been
submitted to our Center since our last posting, two days ago. As we always caution visitors to our
website, please be on the lookout for flawed, or hoaxed, reports. If you detect a suspicious report, please
send an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and I will review the report. COAST TO
COAST AM APPEARANCE Peter Davenport,
Center Director, will make another of what have become weekly appearances on
Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, on
Friday night, June 6th, 2014. Peter’s
updates usually begin at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Some of the reports he will be discussing
include the following: ·
Aurora, Colorado, Thursday, June 05th, 2014, @ 22:30 hrs.
(Mountain) — A group of at least six adults witnessed a cluster of five
lights, possibly red in color, moving from the eastern to western sky. The witness stated during a telephone call
that the objects appeared to be streaming “trails of sparks, as they moved
across the sky. A second telephoned
report was received from a second group of witnesses, who reported the same
phenomenon. Their follow-up written report
is pending. Full Report ·
Powell River, British Columbia, Thursday, June 05th, 2014,
@ 19:30 hrs. (Pacific) — Two adult males climbed to the top of a local
mountain, to enjoy the sunset. Upon
reaching the top of the mountain, they immediately became aware of a bright
orange object in the western sky, which appeared to be pulsing. The object suddenly just disappeared from
their sight. Written report is
pending. ·
Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Thursday, June 05th, 2014, @
17:00 hrs. (Eastern) — A 40-year old businessman, driving in moderately heavy
traffic, sees a silver color “chevron” pass rapidly overhead. He witnessed the object for approximately
30 seconds. Full Report ·
Reno, Nevada, Thursday, June 05th, 2014, @ 14:20 hrs.
(Pacific) — An adult male, scanning the daytime sky with high-quality pair of
astronomical binoculars, sees a group of 5-8 (est.) silver and orange color
objects pass overhead at high velocity.
They were in a “broken arrow” formation, and traveling in the opposite
direction of a high-altitude jet aircraft that the witness had been viewing
in the daytime sky. Full Report ·
Kennewick, Washington, Thursday, June 05TH, 2014, @ 10:00
hrs. (Pacific) — A husband and wife, while driving, witness a peculiar white
and silver, “triangular-shaped,” object drifting or floating in the morning
sky. It appeared to them that a dark-colored
helicopter might have been pursuing the object. The object appears to slow, for a moment,
and then suddenly accelerates and disappears from the observers’ sight. Full
Report We will
update the website again next week. At
that time, in our continuing effort to improve the quality of the reports
submitted to our Center, we expect to introduce new guidelines regarding how
to prepare a written report. Posted on Friday afternoon, June 06th, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4TH The NUFORC database of sighting reports has been
updated, as of this date. We have
posted 617 new reports, received since May 8th, 2014, in addition to over 200
amended reports, that have been re-posted to the site. Although we have screened the new reports to the
greatest degree that limited time allows, there is a
strong possibility that some flawed reports may have slipped through the
screening process. Consequently, as
you read the reports, please be on the look-out for reports that appear to be
flawed, or which appear to be attempts at hoaxing. If you encounter what you believe may be a
misleading report, please call it to our attention by sending an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue as quickly as possible. Stationary Object
over California and Nevada During the period of May 24-26, our Center
received a number reports from northern California and Nevada of an object,
apparently at very high altitude, which seemed to the witnesses to remain
stationary over a long period of time.
Our first reaction was that the object might be a large helium-filled
balloon, being used for some research application, given that our Center has
received many such reports over recent decades. However, our experience has been that those
balloons rarely are reported to remain motionless, as measured over the
course of hours.
At right is a photo, taken by a witness in Grass
Valley, California, at 3:00 p.m., on Monday, May 26th, 2014: If anyone has reliable information about
the object, we would like to invite them contact our Center and report what
they may know about it. If a
high-altitude balloon is the explanation for the event, we would like to be
able to report that fact. Recent Photos Many of the reports we have posted recently
allude to the fact that photos were taken during the sightings. However, only relatively few of the alleged
photos have been submitted to our Center.
During the next several days, we plan to contact those witnesses who
have reported having captured photos and video, in order to invite them to
submit the photographic evidence they claim to have in their possession. If we obtain convincing photos or video, we
will post them to our site in the near future. Statement posted on Wednesday, June 4th, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON
MAY 08TH, 2014 The NUFORC website has been updated, as of the
afternoon of Thursday, May 08th, 2014.
The update includes the posting of 131 new written reports, submitted
since May 2nd, via our Online Report Form. Traditionally, we alert visitors to our site to
be on the look-out for flawed reports, including outright attempts to mislead
us with foolish, hoaxed reports.
However, on the occasion of our posting today, we would like to
register an especially strong warning, given what seems to us to have been an
inordinately large number of apparently hoaxed reports submitted to our
Center, over recent days. It is only
surmise, on our part, but it appears to us that there has been an organized
attempt to have our Center accept, and post, reports that are misleading, and
even patently foolish. We have removed
most of the reports that we believe are not serious-minded accounts of authentic
sightings, but we have posted several that we believe are borderline
cases. CENTER DIRECTOR
WILL BE OUT OF TOWN Peter Davenport, Director of NUFORC, will be
traveling sporadically, beginning May 9th, so callers to the UFO Hotline are
invited to leave messages on the answering service. Peter will attempt to check messages
several times per day, and will return calls, when possible. Hence, if you experience a sighting of a
suspected UFO at any time during the next week, we would like to invite you
to go directly to our Online
Report Form, in lieu of calling the Hotline, and submit a detailed
written report about your sighting. A
written report is the only type of report that we can post to our website. Peter will be at the McMenamins
UFO Festival in McMinnville, Oregon, during the weekend of May 15-18,
2014. Details of that conference can
be accessed at the conference website. APPEARANCE ON COAST
TO COAST ON MAY 9TH Peter is scheduled to make his weekly appearance
on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, on
Friday night, May 9th, 2014. He will
discuss a few of the reports submitted recently, to include the following: ·
Iron Gate,
Virginia, on Friday, May 2nd, 2014, @ 2240 hrs. (EDT) - An experienced FAA
Air Traffic Control specialist, together with his wife, experience a
dramatic, 3-minute
sighting of three orange objects in the night sky. Full

proof-read each report before posting, we always recommend that visitors to
our website always be on the lookout for flawed reports. If, when reading the reports, you encounter
a report that contains personal information, profanity, or
which appears to be a frivolous submission, please call the situation
to our attention, and we will address the report as quickly as we can. RADIO
APPEARANCE ON THURSDAY NIGHT, APRIL 24TH — Peter will make a brief
appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory,
at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific), to give a brief update on some of the
more interesting sighting reports that have been submitted over the last
week. Two of the cases that Peter will
probably address during the program are the following: ·
Orlando, Florida, Saturday, April 19, 2014, @ 21:30 hrs.
(EDT) — Four adult witnesses observe an object with red and green lights
streak across the night sky in a downward arc, pass behind a building, climb
vertically, stop, turn, and then streak to the northwest. At least one of the witnesses is a
commercial pilot and flight instructor, who first thought the object was an aircraft in distress, but then realized that
it is impossible for a conventional aircraft to move in such an abrupt
manner. Full Report ·
Waterville, Washington, Tuesday, April 22, 2014, @ 21:30
hrs. (PDT) — An adult male was driving on a rural road in the middle of a
wheat field, and suddenly witnessed a peculiar light in the northern sky,
which appeared to be approaching his location. He assumed that it might be a helicopter,
attached to the U. S. Customs and Immigration Service, on an
nighttime patrol along the Canadian border, but he quickly realized that it
was not a conventional aircraft. As it
passed overhead from his location, he could see it clearly, and it looked
like a military main battle tank, with no wings! The object proceeded to the south and
quickly disappeared in the night sky.
(Written report is pending.) REPORTS
FOR THE EVENING OF APRIL 18/19, 2014 — During his appearance on Coast to
Coast on Friday, April 18, Peter reported that he had received a number of
dramatic sighting reports of clusters of lights in the Pacific Northwest,
California, and Arizona. The written
reports we received from those witnesses are now posted, and can be access
here: ·
Tieton,
Washington, on Friday, April 18, 2014, @ 20:00 hrs. (PDT) — A high school
student reports witnessing a cluster of orange lights near Yakima,
Washington. Good video of the objects captured by the witness. Full Report VIDEO. ·
Shelton, Washington, on Friday, April 18, 2014, at 22:00
hrs. (PDT) — A father and son witness two lights pass almost overhead. They appeared to accelerate and maneuver,
relative to one another, and suddenly disappeared from the witnesses’
view. A second report was submitted
from Shelton for the same time period.
A report is pending. Full Report ·
Chico, California, on Friday, April 18, 2014, @ 22:01 hrs.
(PDT) — A husband and wife witness approximately 9 red and yellow lights pass
overhead in the night sky. The husband
reported that the objects appeared to be approximately two-thirds the
diameter of a full Moon. Full Report ·
Phoenix, Arizona, on Friday, April 18, 2014, @ 23:05 hrs.
(MDT) — An adult male reports witnessing three orange “fireballs” ascend
sequentially in the night, not far, apparently, from the airspace of Sky
Harbor Airport. The witness had no
explanation for the phenomenon. Full
Report Statement posted Thursday evening, April 24, 2014. HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON FRIDAY
EVENING, APRIL 18, 2014 We have posted 166 new reports to our homepage,
received since our last posting on April 11th. We have attempted to remove, or properly
label, all flawed reports, but there is always the likelihood that we have
missed several of them. Consequently,
please be on the constant lookout for reports that may be of something other
than sightings of suspected UFOs. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO
COAST AM ON FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 2014 Peter is scheduled to appear on the Coast to
Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific), on Friday night, April 18, 2014, to
provide a brief summary of a few of the more interesting reports that we have
posted to our website, as of this date. HAPPY EASTER TO ALL! We would like to wish all those who visit our
website, and who celebrate the Easter Holiday, a very Happy Easter! We will update our homepage again within the next
several days. --Statement posted Friday evening, April 18,
2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATE ON
FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2014 We have posted approximately 210 new, and newly
amended, sighting reports, as of this date.
Although we attempt to remove all flawed reports and hoaxes, we are
rarely able to detect and remove all of them.
Consequently, we recommend that as you read them, remain on the
lookout for reports that may be frivolous, or may be of normal objects of
terrestrial origin. If you detect what
you believe may be a flawed report, please send an e-mail to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the issue immediately. Also, some of the reports from the first week of
April may be attempts to introduce hoaxed reports into our database of
sightings. We have been informed that
there was a world-wide effort to fly model airplanes and quad-copters, with
LED lights affixed, in order to generate a wave of false reports. It appears to us that some people may have
submitted such reports, but it is difficult to be certain. If anyone visiting our website may have
submitted such a bogus report, and it is posted to our site, we would welcome
a notification from the perpetrator of the hoax, so that we can remove the report
from our database. RADIO APPEARANCES ON
FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2014 Peter will make two appearances on Friday
night. The first will be a two-hour
appearance on the Jeff Rense Radio Program, from
7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time), during which he will be

Number of Craft: 1 SUMMARY: Point of light or bright object in the
daytime sky. Description: I was outside of Chick-Fil-A, eating in the
parking lot. I saw a point of light
pretty high in the NE sky, probably at a 45 degrees angle up. It was stationary for some time, at least 5
minutes, but then I noticed slow movement towards the East. After a minute or so it then
seemed to descend somewhat in a southeasterly direction and was getting
slightly larger which made me realize it was getting closer. Then it slowed and switched directions and
headed north. I noticed that it was
very visible with polarized sunglass but barely visible without. It started moving north and
ascending in altitude. At that point I
got out of my car and approached someone leaving the diner and asked them if
they could see it. He could not see
anything but I could see it with my polarized glasses. I took two photos. I deleted the first as I noticed my iPhone
camera could not detect the object.
The second one I kept to bring home and see if could indeed pull it
out with some enhancement. I was able
to actually see a faint point of light in the photograph. The object must have been
highly reflective being that I couldn't spot it hardly
at all until I viewed it through polarized lenses. Eventually the object
seemed to accelerate slight and slowly vanished out of sight heading due north.
I tried to call a friend on the north side of town to see if he could see it
but he didn't answer. ·

APRIL 04TH, 2014 Peter Davenport is scheduled to appear briefly on
the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory,
at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Time Zone) on Friday night, April 4th,
2014. Peter will discuss a number of
cases that have been submitted to the Center, since his last appearance on
Coast to Coast on March 27th, 2014. Some of the cases that Peter may address during
the program are the following: ·
Lehigh Acres, Florida,
Thursday, March 27th, 2014, @ 23:30 hrs. (EDT) — An adult male reports
witnessing a very strange creature, approximately 3 feet tall, run through
his back yard, between two nearby houses, and race down the street. The mother of the witness reports that he
was badly frightened by the experience.
Full Report ·
Auburn, New York, Tuesday,
April 1st, 2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (EDT) — Two adult males, both described as law
enforcement officers, and the wife of one of them, report witnessing a
triangular craft hovering in proximity to the home of two of the
witnesses. The computer tablet being
used by one of the witnesses suddenly stops functioning, and the house lights
in the neighborhood begin flickering, while the object is present. Full Report ·
Jefferson, Maine, Friday,
April 4th, 2014, @ 14:15 hrs. (EDT)
—An adult male reports witnessing an estimated 16 objects maneuvering
high in the daytime sky for approximately 15 minutes. The objects appear to the witness to fly in
different directions, suggesting that the objects are self-propelled, and not
drifting with any prevailing wind. The
objects are reported to have been observed by a second adult witness, who was
at a different location from the first witness. Full Report We will post new material to the homepage in the
near future. Posted Friday night, April 4th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 27, 2014 We have posted approximately 120 new, and newly
received, reports, as of the date above.
We have tried our best to remove most errors from the reports, and
remove those reports that appear to be hoaxes, but we cannot guarantee that
we have removed all of them. If you
encounter what appears to be a defective, or hoaxed, report, please send a
message to director@ufocenter.com,
and we will review the report. RADIO APPEARANCES,
THURSDAY, MARCH 27TH Peter will appear on the radio program, “Ground
Zero,” hosted by Clyde Lewis, at 8:00 p.m. (Pacific) for an hour, to talk
about reported interactions between aircraft and UFOs. Peter will also appear briefly on the “Coast to CoastAM” radio program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific) for a few
minutes, to give his weekly update on recent sighting reports. Peter will address the two cases, featured
below: ·
Kenai Peninsula, Alaska,
Tuesday, March 25, 2014, @ 22:00 hrs. (Alaska) — Two sets of independent
witnesses, located in Clam Gulch and Nikiski, on the west shoreline of the Kenai
Peninsula, reported witnessing at least six bright orange/red lights flying
over the water of Cook Inlet. One set
of witnesses report that four of the objects settled
close to the surface of the water, while two other of the lights rose high in
the sky. The lights appeared to be
drifting toward a nearby fuel refinery.

Report 2 ·
Arnold, Maryland, Thursday,
March 27, 2014, @ 04:30 hrs. (Eastern) — A fireman was loading his gear into
his truck, preparing to depart for work.
His peripheral vision registered a cluster of lights, located off to
his side, but he ignored them, at first.
A few seconds later, he looked back at the lights, and quickly realized
that he was looking at a very strange triangular craft, with three solid
white lights, hovering over a nearby row of trees. Full
Report Also, time permitting during the program, Peter
may discuss recent sighting reports that involve unexplained loud sounds, and
alleged electro-magnetic interference cases.
These types of cases are being reported to NUFORC with increasing
frequency. In the next several days, we will attempt to post
some video footage, which has been submitted to our Center, recently. Statement posted on Thursday afternoon, March 27,
2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON
FRIDAY, MARCH 21ST, 2014 The NUFORC website has been updated, as of the
evening of Friday, March 21st. We have
posted approximately 60 new reports, which have been submitted since our last
posting on March 19. If any visitor to our site detects an error in a
report, or encounters a report that he suspects may be erroneous, we would
welcome an e-mail about the report in question, submitted to
director@ufocenter.com, and we will address the issue immediately. RADIO APPEARANCES Peter Davenport, Center Director, appeared for
two hours on the Jeff Rense Radio Program on Friday
evening, March 21st, Z014, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Details of the program can be obtained at www.Rense.com.
Jeff and Peter appeared, together with two sets
of guests. The first was a gentleman
who experienced a very dramatic sighting near West Fork, Arkansas, at 03:35
hrs. (Central) on Sunday morning, March 16, 2014, as he drove north on
Interstate 540, just north of Mile Marker 32.
A very bright object rose from behind a row of trees, paused, and then
accelerated vertically into the night sky, changing in color from yellow, to
red, and then to “magenta.” The entire
sighting lasted less than five seconds.
Other cars were slowing and stopping on the interstate, ostensibly to
view the object. Full Report The other set of witnesses were a family from
Jordan, Minnesota, who witnessed a very strange object that appeared to be
hovering in the night sky, not too far from their neighborhood. It appeared to be elongate, and it had two
rows of very bright red and green lights, which ran along the top of the
craft, one row above the other. The
object began to move, and then streaked off into the night sky. The sighting lasted an estimated 20-25
seconds. Full Report We will update our website again during the
upcoming week. Posted Saturday, March 22st, 2014. NUFORC DATABASE OF SIGHTING
REPORTS UPDATED ON MARCH 18, 2014 We have posted approximately 415 new, or newly
amended, sighting reports to our database of cases. Most of the new reports were received at
our Center after Thursday, February 27, 2014.
We expect to renew the site again, later this week, but we wanted to
post the new reports, as quickly as possible.
If, while reading the new reports, you find a report that appears to
have a flaw, or which appears to be a hoaxed report, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
address the possible flaw as quickly as possible. We would like to call to the attention to the
visitors to our website the following case: WEST FORK, ARKANSAS, ON SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 16,
2014, @ 03:35 HRS. (CDT) - A professional truck driver, driving north on
Interstate 540, and just north of Mile Marker 32, witnesses an intensely
bright yellow light rise from the ground on the west side of the
highway. The object paused for a
moment, and then streaked vertically upward into the night sky, changing its
color to red, then “magenta.” Other
cars were stopped on the roadway. The
witness reported that reception by his vehicle’s radio seemed to be affected
by the event. Full Report RADIO APPEARANCE BY PETER
DAVENPORT Peter Davenport, Center Director, will appear on
the Jeff Rense radio program at 7:00-9:00 p.m., on
Friday, March 21, 2014. Details can be
found at www.Rense.com. Our website will be updated again, later this
week. Posted on Tuesday evening, March 18, 2014. NUFORC SITE UPDATED ON
THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2014 In preparation for a brief appearance on the
Coast to Coast AM radio program tonight, we have updated our website with
approximately 160 new reports, submitted since February 21st. In the course of our proof-reading of the
submitted reports, we have made every attempt possible to eliminate errors,
hoaxed reports, profanity, and personal information about the individuals
involved in the reports. However,
there is always a chance that we have committed an oversight, so please be on
the lookout for errors in the reports, and please feel free to report them to
our Center at director@ufocenter.com. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO
COAST AM ON THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2014, @ 10:15 P.M. (PST) Peter Davenport will make a brief appearance on
Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, to
discuss some of the recent sightings reported to NUFORC since the last update
of our website and database of sighting reports, which occurred on February
21st. We list below a couple of
particularly dramatic sightings, which Peter will discuss during his
appearance: ·
Memphis/Collierville,
Tennessee, Saturday, February 22nd, 2014, @ 18:30 hrs. (EST)—A retired
airline pilot witnesses an estimated 8-10 red objects move from west to east,
in “nose to tail” formation. Many
other similar reports were submitted at about the same time, and on the same
date. Full Report ·
Washington Court House,
Ohio, Wednesday, February 26th, 2014, @ 20:00 hrs. (EST)—A father and
daughter witness three bright, and distinctly yellow, lights moving across a
clear sky. Suddenly, a fourth similar
light joins the first three, they execute a turn and align themselves in a
straight line, then all extinguish at once. Full
Report ·
Attica, New York, Thursday,
February 27th, 21:33 hrs. (EST)—Three adult witnesses are driving in the
vicinity of a “wind farm,” when they become aware that the woods nearby are
illuminated by a peculiar orange light.
The witnesses drive toward the light, and see an object radiating
orange light lift from among the windmills, and ascend into the night
sky. Copied report: Date: 02/27/14 Time: 21:33 Duration: 5 minutes Sighting City: Attica Sighting State: NY Sighting Zip: 14011 Sighting County: Wyoming Witnesses: 3 Shape: Circle Number of Craft: 1 Description: We were driving on a road en-route to our
home and seen an orange glow in the sky on the next hill over, close to where
they had just put up 58 new windmills.
I decided to take a detour and check this out, so we did. When we got near the road, the woods were
lit up like I've never seen before. We
had pulled over to watch and see what was going on and then seen this weird
object lifted up above the mills, and hovers there in silence. And then lifted more, and was gone. ·
Hixson, Tennessee,
Thursday, February 27th, @ 22:55 hrs. (EST)—An adult male, with sky-watching
experience, witnesses an unlighted, triangular shaped object glide across the
night sky. When last observed, the
object was headed toward Chattanooga, TN.
Copied report: Date: 02/27/14 Time: 22:55 Duration: 12 seconds Sighting City: Hixson Sighting State: TN Sighting Zip: 37343 Sighting Country: United States Sighting County: Hamilton Witnesses: 1 Shape: Triangle Number of Craft: 1 Summary: Triangular
object with no lights gliding across the night sky. Description: At 10:55 EST in Hixson, TN, a suburb of
Chattanooga, I was standing outside letting me dog out when out of the corner
of my eye I saw what appeared to be a triangular object with no lights on it
gliding across the night sky. It was
difficult to tell how high the object was, because there were no lights on it
to help judge the distance, but I would guess relatively low due to the fact
that it was about 1/8 to 1/5 the size of a full moon. There was no sound, and it
was traveling east south east toward the center of Chattanooga. I observed
the object for about 12 seconds or so as it flew out of sight remaining the
same speed and direction the entire time.
I've always been interested
in looking up at the stars, and I own a telescope. I have never seen anything like this
before. Since it had NO lights on it,
it appeared a dark gray over the night sky.
I strained to get as clear of view as possible and could not make out
any form of a plane or bird. It
definitely had a triangle shape. Posted Thursday night,
February 27th, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 21ST,
2014 We have updated out website, as of this date, and
have posted approximately 190 new, and newly revised, sighting reports. We request that people be on the look-out
for flawed reports, which may have slipped through our hasty proof-reading
process. WEEKLY APPEARANCE ON COAST TO COAST AM Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will appear
briefly on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, on Friday night, February 21st, 2014, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific).
Peter will discuss several of the more interesting reports that have
been received over the past week, including two reports of strange sounds and
light displays, which seem to be unexplainable. Two of the cases that Peter will discuss
are the following: ·
Tulsa, Oklahoma, on
Wednesday, February 19*, 2014, @ 15:00 hrs. (Central) - A family, and
multiple other witnesses, report having been witness to a strange, vibrating
sound, which seemed to emanate from the daytime sky. The witness asserts that the sound was so
loud that drivers allegedly were stopping their vehicles, and staring at the
sky, hoping to locate the cause, and source of the sound. We have not spoken with the witness to the
alleged event, so we consider the case to be unconfirmed, at the time of its
posting, and the date of the alleged sighting is either February 19, or February
12th. The source was unclear about the
date of the event. Full Report ·
Tucson, Arizona, Tuesday,
February 18, 2014, @ 1916 hrs. (Mountain) - An experienced pilot, who holds
an ATP license, and who has 26,000 hours as pilot-in-command, reports having
witnessed three very peculiar orange lights, hovering near Picture Rocks,
AZ. The lights simply “winked out,”
and disappeared from sight. Full Report We copy below another report, in “raw” and
unedited form, which arrived late today, after we had begun the process of
updating our database of cases. This
sighting occurred on Friday, February 14, 2014, just 35 minutes before a
similar sighting reportedly occurred near Satellite Beach, Florida. Date: 02/14/14 Time: 18:45 Duration: 45 minutes Sighting City: Stephens City Sighting State: VA Sighting Zip: 22655 Witnesses: 3 Shape: Light Number of Craft: 4 Description: Orange lights changing to red lights.
Seemed to interact at times. 190 Description: Nearly home from work with about 30 seconds
of drive time left, I witnessed three large very bright orange light appear
“thrown” into the sky. The light
changed from orange to red several times and moved in random directions, but
in a graceful manner. I immediately ran into
my house to grab my smart phone and managed to get three short videos. The objects would fade away and then
reappear seconds and sometimes minutes later.
The lights seemed to interact with one another at times. Eventually, the lights
all disappeared. I waited outside for
another twenty minutes or so with little faith that they would return
again. To my surprise, the lights
returned once more in another area of the sky for about two minutes and then
vanished for good.” We will update the NUFORC website again, within
the next several days. Posted on Friday afternoon, February 21st, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY,
FEBRUARY 14, 2014 We have updated the NUFORC website, as of this
date, and have posted 229 new, or recently amended, sighting reports. Please be on the lookout for errors and
omissions, and please report any oversights you detect to
director@ufocenter.com. New evidence in January
23rd, 2014, Raleigh, North Carolina, photograph of discs in noontime sky Last week, we posted a photograph, taken in
Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday, January 23rd, of four “discs,” which
allegedly were seen by the witness at the time the photo was taken. We post here two “enhanced” versions of the
photos, provided by an individual who visited our website, and who has
considerable experience at photo-analysis.
His initial impression, like ours, was that the images were
reflections of ceiling lights, reflected by a plate glass window in front of
the witness’s camera. However, the
witness assures us, yet again, that he was standing on an outdoor balcony, at
the time the sighting occurred, and the photo was taken. We post below the two “enhanced” versions
of the original photo, to let visitors to our website decide for themselves. Photo
Enhancement 1 Photo Enhancement 2 We feature below a few
cases which we have found to be particularly interesting: ·
·
Citrus Heights, California,
on Thursday, February 13, 2014, @ 23:30 hrs. (PST) - As a woman is
accompanying her parents to their automobile, all three witness a peculiar
orange light in the night sky, which seems to slow its movement across the
sky, and which is then quickly joined by a second similar looking light. The two lights stop momentarily, and then
continue their movement across the sky.
The witness captured 49 seconds of video. Her
report can be read here. ·
Glendale, Arizona, on
Sunday, September 28, 2013, @ 19:15 hrs. - A retired Arizona Highway Patrol
officer witness an estimated 150 orange objects fly from west to east in the
nighttime sky. One of the officer’s
neighbors captured the objects with his video camera. The
officer’s report can be read here.
We post the footage here Posted on Friday evening, February 14, 2014. NUFORC HOMEPAGE UPDATED ON
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 07, 2014 We have updated our database of sighting reports,
as of this date, posting approximately 190 new, and
newly amended, reports. We request that visitors to our site be on the
alert for any errors or oversights in our proofreading process. If you find defective or hoaxed reports
that we have overlooked, please send a message to Director@UFOCenter.com, and
we will review the report in question for errors. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO
COAST AM RADIO PROGRAM FRIDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 07, 2014 Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will make a brief
appearance on the Coast to Coast AM radio program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Standard
Time) on Friday night, February 07th, 2014, to discuss some interesting cases
that have been reported recently to the National UFO Reporting Center. A few of the reports which may be discussed
are the following: ·
Spokane Valley, Washington,
Wednesday, February 05th, 2014, @ 02:00 hrs. (PST)—A husband and wife report
being awakened by a very loud sound, which shook their house. They look out a window and witness a very
colorful object in the western sky.
Their son observed it with them.
Full Report ·
Bluefield, West Virginia,
Sunday, February 02nd, 2014, @ 21:00 hrs. (EST)—A young man, who serves in
the military, was driving with his fiancée on Interstate 77 southbound. As they drive out of a tunnel, they are
suddenly illuminated by a very bright light, and then a flash. Their next conscious recollection is that
they are much further down the highway.
Full Report ·
Raleigh, North Carolina,
Thursday, January 23, 2014, @ 12:00 hrs. (EST)—A man is awaiting a job
interview, and steps out on the veranda of the waiting room. He sees, and photographs, four discs in the
noontime sky. The witness was standing
outdoors, so the discs are not reflections of ceiling lights in the room
behind him. Full Report
We post below two reports of sightings of orange
“fireballs,” that arrived late on the afternoon of Friday, February 07th, too
late to be included in our database before we began the posting process: Date: 02/07/14 Time: 20:55 Duration: about 2 minutes Sighting
City: Rochester Sighting
State: NY Sighting
Zip: 14607 Sighting
County: Monroe Witnesses: 2 Shape: Light Number
of Craft: 1 Summary: Solid bright orange light flying low and
very quickly Description: Near The Strong Museum of Play, Monroe Ave
area. Seen when we were walking from
the car to the house. We saw a light
heading towards us in the sky from far south and west of Rochester. Bright orange light zipped across the sky
nearly overhead, from SW of the city to NE.
Clear sky; bright moon, 10 to 15 visible stars. No blinking. No visible trail behind. Looked to be lower than a commercial
airplane would fly. No sound. Faded away in the distance but did not drop
below horizon line. It crossed the
entire sky in less than 2 minutes. No
flickering or blinking, just a solid bright orange glow whizzing by faster
than any plane I have seen. Brighter
than a lighter in your hand on a dark night. Date: 02/07/2014 Time: 19:50 Duration: 1-2 min. Sighting
City: Madison Lake Sighting
State: MN Sighting
Zip: 56063 Sighting
County: Blue Earth Witnesses: 2 Shape: Light Number
of Craft: 3 Summary: Three orange lights in the sky Description: My husband and I were driving east on
Highway 60 toward the small town of Madison Lake. Just before entering city limits, I noticed
two orange lights in the northeast sky.
They were not blinking as airplanes do, and they were close
together. They appeared to remain
parallel; it almost suggested they were flying in a formation. As we
continued east into town, I noticed a third orange light to my right (the
southern sky). We watched this light
cross our path above us, flying from south to north. At first we thought maybe it was a meteor,
but the brightness was consistent. It
was fast, but not super-fast, just steady.
We wondered if it was joining the other two lights. By this time, the other two lights
disappeared. We watched the third
light for about 30 seconds to a minute before it disappeared. The observers are college-educated professionals;
one a business-owner, the other a university professor. This is our first sighting of an
unidentified object. It was so strange
and unexplained that I felt compelled to report it to someone. Over the weekend, we will post several other
photos and videos of recent sightings, which illustrate the sightings of
“fireballs” that have been reported to our Center in the recent past. Statement posted by Peter Davenport, Director, on
the evening of Friday, February 07, 2014. WEBSITE UPDATED ON JANUARY 30TH, 2014 We have updated the website with approximately
160 new, and newly amended, sighting reports, as of Thursday night, January
30th. Tomorrow afternoon, we will post
several photos and videos, submitted with recent sighting. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO COAST AM RADIO PROGRAM Peter Davenport, NUFORC Director, will make a
brief appearance on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory,
beginning at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time), on Thursday
night, January 30th. Peter will be
talking about recent sightings, to include one dramatic sighting in Virginia
on January 29th, and several dramatic sightings from New Hampshire. Posted on Thursday night, January 30th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 24,
2014 We have updated the website, as of Friday
evening, January 24th, and have posted approximately 220 new, and newly revised, reports. The bulk of the new reports are of alleged
sightings of clusters of red and orange “fireballs,” a phenomenon that we
have addressed numerous times on this homepage. For anyone wishing to know more about this
curious and, we believe, unexplained, phenomenon, we would like to direct the
reader to our database of cases, where the “fireball” reports can easily be
identified, for any given month of reports. Just as we were preparing this statement, we
received an e-mail, which contained a link to video of a cluster of lights,
allegedly seen over Okinawa, Japan. We
have no means of documenting the event, or what the objects are, but they are
exemplary of the many reports of “fireballs” that have been submitted to our
Center: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ix5ZWMGqmp8 Also, NUFORC has received a number of interesting
sighting reports, in which the witnesses either report, or suspect, that
interference of electro-magnetic signals, and/or electronic equipment, has
occurred briefly, during a sighting.
We feature below three such reports: ·
Nixon, Texas, on Sunday,
January 19th, 2014, @ 04:47 hrs. (CST)—An individual, who describes himself
as an amateur astronomer, describes witnessing an object
descend out of the morning sky, and perhaps land. He believes that his video camera was
affected during the incident. Link to
video in report. Full Report ·
Prescott, Arizona, on
Sunday, January 19th, 2014, @ 20:15 hrs. (MST)—NUFORC receives two reports
from seemingly independent sources about a peculiar bright white lights that
streaks across the sky, slows to a dead stop, and then suddenly accelerates
very quickly and disappears over the horizon.
The second witness reports that bizarre, metallic, “clanging” sounds
emanated from his radio, during the time the object was above him. Full Report ·
Marysville, California, on
Wednesday, January 22nd, 2014, @ 17:15 hrs. (PST)—A woman witnesses a number
of spheres in the western sky at sunset.
The objects were maneuvering relative to each other, suddenly turned
red, and disappeared from sight. The
witness reports that other witnessed discussed the event on their Facebook
pages, and several of them asserted that their cell telephones would not
connect, while the strange objects were above them. Full
Report PETER DAVENPORT WILL APPEAR ON COAST TO COAST AM, FRIDAY NIGHT, JANUARY 24TH--Peter Davenport will make
a brief appearance on Coast to Coast AM with host, George Noory,
at approximately 22:15 hrs. (Pacific Standard Time), to discuss some of the
more interesting cases that NUFORC has received since his last appearance on
January 16th. Details of the program
can be found at www.CoasttoCoastAM.com.
Posted on Friday evening, January 24th, 2014. NUFORC WEBSITE UPDATE ON JANUARY 16, 2014 The website, and database of sighting reports, have been updated as of the evening of Thursday, January
16, 2014. If, while reading the reports, you encounter one
that appears to be flawed, or which is an obvious hoax, please call the
report to our attention, and we will address the issue as quickly as
possible. PETER DAVENPORT ON COAST TO COAST ON JANUARY 16,
2014 Peter will appear on the Coast to Coast radio
program, hosted by George Noory, at approximately
10:10 p.m. (Pacific) on Thursday night, January 16, 2014. Peter will discuss some of the recent, and
more dramatic, cases that have been submitted to the National UFO Reporting
Center over the last several weeks, including the following reports, and
perhaps others: ·
Crystal Springs, Texas,
Wednesday, January 15, 2014, @ 20:45 hrs. (Central)—An adult male, with
considerable experience in law enforcement, reports that while he was driving
north on “FM 1433,” he witnessed an object streak from his “10:00 o’clock”
position, off to his quartering left, to his “6:00 o’clock” position,
covering that 120-degree angle, in an estimated five seconds. During the five seconds that it was visible
to the witness, the object gave off four extremely bright flashes of light,
at regular time intervals. Full Report ·
Hartwell, Georgia, Sunday,
January 12, 2014, @ 20:15 hrs. (Eastern)—A medevac helicopter reports
witnessing three orange lights streak across the night sky. They were visible to the witness for an
estimated 10 seconds, who believes that they were within a half a nautical
mile of his position, and that they were traveling at approximately 150-200
knots. Toward the end of the sighting,
the objects suddenly split up, and flew off in different directions at high
speed. Full Report Because of our desire to update the website
before Peter’s radio appearance on the evening of January 16th, we forgo
posting photos and videos with this update.
We have received many good photos, over the last month, most of which
pertain to sightings of the red and orange “fireballs” that NUFORC has been
reporting frequently, since May 2012.
Many of the photos and videos are quite dramatic, and we hope to have
several of the higher-quality ones posted this weekend. Statement posted on Thursday evening, January 16,
2014. NUFORC WEBPAGE UPDATE ON JANUARY 10TH, 2014 -
Over the course of the last two weeks, our Center has been inundated with an
abnormally large volume of sighting reports, submitted from around the
world. We have received approximately
650-700 reports, during that time period, which we have posted to our
website, as of January 10th. To put this volume of reports in better
perspective, two years ago, we considered a “normal” volume of reports to be
between 250 and 500 per month. Hence,
NUFORC has been receiving reports at approximately 3-4 times what we used to
consider normal. What this translates
to is that our workload of getting all the reports
proof-read and posted amounts to 3-4 times what it used to be, which explains
why it is taking us a bit longer to get all of the new reports up on our
website. We have made our best effort to proof-read the
reports we have posted, but there is always the possibility of our
overlooking flawed reports.
Consequently, we always request of the visitors to our site to be on
the look-out for cases that have errors, or which can be explained away by
mundane events, of terrestrial origin.
If you find what you believe to be a flawed report, please send a note
to Director@UFOCenter.com, and we will address the issue, and make changes,
as may be required. Thank you! APPEARANCE ON JEFF RENSE RADIO TALK SHOW @
7:00-9:00 PM (PACIFIC) ON JANUARY 10TH - Peter Davenport, Center
Director, will make a two-hour appearance on the Jeff Rense
Radio Program tonight, Friday, January 10th, from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
(Pacific). Jeff and Peter will host
four guests from Wisconsin, Arizona, Washington State, and Oregon, all of
whom have experienced recent, and dramatic, sightings over those states. APPEARANCE ON COAST-TO-COAST AM, HOSTED BY GEORGE
NOORY, @ 10:10 PM (PACIFIC) , ON FRIDAY, JANUARY 10TH - Peter will
make a brief appearance on Coast to Coast, hosted by George Noory, to provide
a brief summary of some of the more interesting reports that NUFORC has
received since his last appearance on January 1st. PHOTOS AND VIDEOS - Our Center has received
photos and videos related to many of the reported
sightings, and within the next several days, we will post some of the better
ones. Our principal objective on this
date is to get the database of sighting reports updated, so members of the
audiences to the radio programs described above will be able to read the text
of the reports that Peter will be speaking about tonight. Posted:
Friday afternoon, January 10th, 2014.
WE HAVE MOVED!
Our telephone service should operate smoothly, since all incoming calls to our Hotline will be automatically forwarded to our telephone. In addition, we anticipate that our internet services will be uninterrupted, although it may require several days for us to activate our new high-speed internet connection. Hence, please be patient while we get these services set up, and operating smoothly. For a list of past featured reports and highlights click here.

After 32 years in the Seattle area, the
National UFO Reporting Center is moving to a new locale in eastern
Washington, a decommissioned U. S. Air Force ICBM missile base, located
between the towns of Davenport and Harrington, WA, in Lincoln County. This
photo of our new "digs" shows the property as it looked in the
early 1960's.
