RECENT
ACTIVITY AND HIGHLIGHTS NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON THURSDAY, JULY 23RD, 2015 Our
website has been updated, as of July 23rd, with the posting of 122
new sighting reports, received at our Center since the afternoon of July
17. We have proof-read all of the reports, but we always caution
visitors to our website to be on the alert for defective reports, or reports
that appear to describe something other than a genuine UFO. If you
encounter a report that appears questionable, please send a note to director@ufocenter.com, and we will
review the report. RADIO APPEARANCE Peter
Davenport will make his weekly appearance on Coast-to-Coast AM, hosted by
George Noory, at approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific)
on Thursday night, July 23rd, 2015. Peter will discuss
several of the most dramatic and convincing cases that have been received
during the past week. A few of the cases that Peter may discuss include
the following: ·
Colorado Springs, Colorado, Thursday, July 23rd,
2015, @ 0945 hrs. (MDT)—A group of at least eight co-workers, standing
outside during a morning break, witness a gold colored object hovering
motionless in the cloudless blue sky. After approximately 30 minutes,
the object just fades away. A photo was taken, but the image of the
object is very small and indistinct. Witness Report ·
Indialantic, Florida, Wednesday, July 22nd,
2015, @ 2300 hrs. (EDT)—A group of 7 friends witnessing a disc-shaped craft
hover over the water near a local beach for an estimated 3 minutes.
Object suddenly accelerates and disappears in the night sky. Witness Report ·
Panama City, Florida, Wednesday, July 22nd,
2015 @ 2300 hrs. (EDT)—A husband and wife witness a cluster of “fireballs”
hovering in the nighttime sky. The objects suddenly “blinked” out, and
then seem to have shown up in another area of the sky. Witness Report ·
Newport News/Hampton, Virginia, Tuesday, July 21, 2015,
@ 2223 hrs. (EDT)—A husband and wife exit a tunnel and both of them
immediately see a triangular craft hovering nearby. After a few
seconds, the object just suddenly shoots straight up into the sky. Witness Report Posted on Thursday
evening, July 23rd, 2015. NUFORC WEBSITE
UPDATED ON FRIDAY, JULY 17, 2015 We
have update our website with the posting of 159 new
sighting reports, received since July 10th. We
have proof-read this batch of reports fairly well, we believe, but there is
always a chance that we have overlooked cases that are either hoaxes, or
cases of mistaken identity. Consequently, we urge all the visitors to
our site to be on the lookout for flawed cases, as they read through them. Peter
Davenport will make his regular weekly appearance on Coast to Coast AM with
George Noory on Friday evening, July 17, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific). Peter will discuss some of the more
interesting reports that have been submitted over the past week. Some
of the reports he will discuss include the following: ·
St. Louis, Missouri, on Friday, July 17, 2015, @ 1544
hrs. (CDT)—An adult male was driving along a perimeter road on the eastern
edge of the Spirit of St. Louis Airport, west of St. Louis, and reports
witnessing a very bright object, approximately one tenth the perceived
diameter of the Sun, hovering to the west of the airport. The witness
is an aviation specialist, and reports that the object could not have been an
aircraft. (Written report from the ·
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Saturday, July 11, 2015, @
2145 hrs. (CDT)—Two adult witnesses observe a cluster of three orange lights
drift across the nighttime sky. They captured the image to the
right. Witness Report ·
Lamoine, Maine, on
Wednesday night, July 08th, 2015, @ 2130 hrs. (EDT)—An adult
female looks out her bedroom window and sees an estimated 8-10 lighted
objects, each about the size of a baseball, flying in a sporadic manner
around her back yard. After a few seconds, the objects just suddenly
disappeared, but they appeared a second time, a short time later. They
disappeared again, but returned for a third visit. The entire event
lasted an estimated 10 minutes. Witness
Report ·
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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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
webmaster, Christian, may be traveling over the Christmas holiday, so we may
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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 ·

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

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

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

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.

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

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. (EDT) - A woman, while driving, witnesses a cluster of approximately a
dozen red/orange lights. Possible
electromagnetic effects to her vehicle.
Lights may have changed from red to white, before suddenly
disappearing. Full Report ·
Salisbury, Maryland, Saturday, August 30th, 2014, @
20:48 hrs. (EDT) - A commercial/airline pilot and his girlfriend witness a
strange looking triangular craft, with lights in its corners. Full
Report See photo below:
·
Charleston, South Carolina, Saturday, August 30th,
2014, @ 22:09 hrs. (EDT) - Multiple witnesses see five green lights,
maneuvering relative to each other, as the objects fly across the nighttime
sky. Full Report ·
Racine, Wisconsin, Saturday, August 30th, 2014, @ 23:23
hrs. (CDT) - Multiple witnesses observe an “amber/orange” disc fly through
the nighttime sky. Full Report ·
Mankato, Minnesota, Sunday, August 31st, 2014, @ 00:15
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.

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 evening, August 1st, 2014. NUFORC 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. Posted 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:

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

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

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

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

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

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 accompanied by four guests, who will be describing their sightings in
1. Jefferson, Maine, on April 04th Full Report 2. Orlando, Florida, on April 06th Full Report Video 3. Vancouver, Washington, on April 06th Full Report 4. East Jackson, Michigan, on April 10th Full Report Peter will make a brief appearance
on Coast to Coast AM, hosted by George Noory, at
approximately 10:15 p.m. (Pacific Daylight Time), in order to discuss a few
of the more interesting reports that have been submitted to NUFORC during the
last week. Some of the reports that will be
discussed are those addressed above, as well as a few that have arrived after
we began the update of our website, this afternoon, which are copied below: ·

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. ·

tend to the issue as quickly as possible. APPEARANCE ON COAST TO COAST AM ON
FRIDAY NIGHT, 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.

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

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.

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.
