Analytical Notes      NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
                                 October 2022, rel    Feb 2023


MADAR UFO Officer: Jeremy Haslam
Terms: NMS means "Non MADAR Sightings" where MADAR was not tripped, but the quality of the nearby sighting strongly suggests that MADAR records be checked for curious spikes in data. Although some MUFON entries have been listed, it is the job of each MUFON state group under Project MATCH  to provide MUFON listings of potential sightings of interest. Note: NOL means node was not online at the time of the incident.

8 10/9/2022 Newington, CT 5:56PM Sphere, The MADAR-III Operator for Node 106 in Newington, CT received a MADAR Alarm (SMS) cell phone text message letting him know that an alert was received from his node at his house. He immediately grabbed his binoculars and went outside to his backyard to see if he could spot anything unusual. At first the only thing that he saw was a few planes flying by, and as he was looking through his binoculars at one the planes, he spotted a small round black object descending from the clouds above the plane and ascending back up. It repeated this maneuver twice as if trying to stay concealed in the clouds. [Investigated and declared an unknown]

 

9 10/10/2022 Kissimmee, FL 10:30PM Circle, a Very Bright Lime green disk with a dark center hovering above the lanai porch then it went behind the palm tree and disappeared. Very large disk!! And VERY BRIGHT. [Insufficient data and non-specific time]

 

10 10/11/2022 Pickerington, OH 4:56PM Rectangle, A flying object silently hovering over my neighbors house with very bright lights, no high pitched whine (drones). The object slowly and smoothly made its way further away from me, there were very bright red and white lights on the bottom of the object that flashed intermittently. I could not see any means of accelerating such as rotary blades and could not hear the object at all. [Recal killed this potential correlation -exactly right over the minute!]


 

           


         

           

11 10/11/2022 Portland, OR 8:00PM Saucer type ufo, number of red lights along the perimeter 6 or 7, one in the middle was the largest and it was pulsing on and off, the others were smaller and less active but kind of twinkling like stars, the lights slowly rotating around the craft as it slowly flew from South to North. I got a good look at it with binoculars. The craft itself was very dark. I could barely make out the bottom edge against the night sky. About 2 miles east of me, 10 degrees off the horizon. I approximate it to be about 100 feet in length. [Recal prior but the data is interesting. Sighting worth furtherr investigation - CIR filed with NUFORC. No response from witness.)


 

12 10/11/2023 Viola, DE 11:20PM Triangular shaped aircraft hovering in front of me over our field, a light appeared -like a searchlight- and started to raise from the aircraft and head towards me, it came directly over my head, over my house, red flashing light on the rear of the aircraft. [No madar sites in region]


 

13 10/12/2023 Philadelphia, PA 1:00AM Craft - it hovered in front of me, i could not clearly see the object, which i thought was strange. It was fuzzy and i could see almost like an outline and the red light was on the bottom of the craft, but no navigation lights.
