Analytical Notes
NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
December
2022, rel March 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.

12/2/22 Irvine, CA
10:11PM Anomalistic motion, UFO shows off,
maneuvering up, down, left, and right, in plain sight - it left a
trail of light behind every time it moved, in a super swift manner.
It made a significant movement in a series of lines up and down and
left and right and visible made itself noticeable to me again and
was not stationary and moving around to show itself to me as a
craft. then this object literally made a CLOUD VANISH and disappear,
so I could see it move and stand stationary extremely
clearly!!! (???) [Our MADAR site 56 at Littlerock
is only 58 miles NW of Irvine. But the data is just not there.]
12/4/22 Carol stream, IL
1:04AM Craft and has Anomalistic motion;
Bright orb shaped changing to saucer shape. Rapidly moving in all
directions looks like it was collecting energy when it stopped it
would burst little sparkles off of it and take off and change
directions at blink of an eye when I first seen it it looked like a
black hole behind it. At times it stood still I seen other little
lights dropping down to it. [MADAR site 196 at Naperville is only 13
miles south of Carole Stream, but there was no data of interest
found.]
12/4/22 Neshaminy, PA
12:47PM Craft, Triangular shaped flat flying
object. It looked like a kite then it looked like a space shot but
triangle. Moving really fast and must’ve been huge. Too big for
drone and wasn’t a plane. Dark in color flying North and we were
turning South onto rt. 1. Pic
[Pictures not impressive at all]
12/6/22 SE Portland, OR
7:34PM Anomalistic motion; It was a red
glowing object moving slowly in my direction it seemed to fade in
and out as if the color of it would dim and then get brighter red as
it approached it seemed to begin to hover and then all of a sudden
it split into two and the new red glowing sphere went in the
opposite direction it was coming from at a high rate of speed.
I have it on video
12/7/22 Reno, NV
4:48PM Obvious craft or has anomalistic
motion; cigar shaped object emitting bright orange light. I
initially thought it was a plane with chemtrails but the object was
shooting up, not going further into the distance, and then
maneuvered to the left in a way a plane could not do. I took two
videos. It disappeared behind the building but my sighting lasted 2
full minutes. Another thing that happened is my TV didnt get a
signal, and my computer charger stopped working. I was floored.
12/7/22 West Salem, OR
5:30PM Obvious craft or has anomalistic
motion; Driving in the car when my daughter shouted that there
is a ufo in the sky when we were driving in West Salem. The object
was a black, oval shaped, it had lights on it, and was very large.
It was hovering in the sky without moving, silent. Witness has
had multiple sighitngs - Pic..
12/7/22 Hoover, AL
5:48PM Obvious craft; Near the horizon
line there was a line of yellow lights. I looked closer and they
appeared to be spinning and a red light flashed on the top of what
appeared to be the disk shape. I took a video of the lights but it
is hard to make out the shape. Pic
12/7/22 Venice, FL
7:36PM Obvious craft or has anomalistic
motion; green lighted craft travelling toward glide slope at
Venice airport. It moved at high speeds, flashing, brightening. Came
from N. Direction and brightened, flashed,moved at sharp angles,
appeared to hit ground near county office bldg to my E. Dropping in
5 steps from 1k feet it then reappeared brighter above the
scene,then disappeared after putting on an airshow with unnatural
movements.
12/8/22 Orange City, FL
3:15PM Obvious craft; three silver
triangles in the sky reflecting the sun. I pulled over to the exit
lane to observe. They flew in a triangle pattern going towards the
west and the objects were at an angle thus reflecting the sun. All
of a sudden, they all flattened out so I could definitely see their
triangle shape. At that point they were more flat grey in color. I
did not notice any lights on them. Right after they flattened out,
they totally disappeared from the sky.
12/10/23 Orefield, PA
6:25AM Obvious craft; At 6:25 AM Eastern
time on the morning of Saturday, December 10, 2022, I sighted a
massive, obsidian-coloured, cigar shaped object on the way home from
work on the night shift. This object was massive--appeared to be
about 2000 meters long and 150 meters wide, headed east at 1500
km/hour, around 35 km altitude. The object obscured much of the sky
and appeared to be enveloped in a long, black, oily bubble. I had a
sense of anxiety observing this phenomena.
12/13/22 Buckeye, AZ
10:30PM Obvious craft; Black triangle with
glowing warm orange lights at each corner. Silent, moved across sky.
Almost invisible, seemed to be very large black triangle with 2
orange lights move across the sky. Was not as high as airplanes, was
significantly bigger. So silent. Drawing submitted
12/15/22 Conway, NH
5:00PM Obvious craft or has Anomalistic
motion; While driving I witnessed a large, saucer shaped craft
with a domed top (like a stereotypical flying saucer). It
appeared to be at least as large as an airplane and had many lights
in multiple colors (mostly red, blue, and yellow), the colors and
lights were so bright. It was low in the sky to the west of me and
hovering for roughly 30 seconds to a minute.
12/17/22 Riverside, CA
6:10PM Obvious craft; The craft was heading
south, about 500 ft above the ground. The craft was flying off to
the left, it had a faded light-grey body and three dim, white lights
on each corner of the craft.
12/17/22 Oklahoma City, OK
6:45PM Obvious craft (note: seen only
through night vision goggles): Cigar shaped craft - While getting
ready to take off from PWA, I looked to the NW (wearing NVG’s) and
saw an elongated oval shaped object. As stated above, I saw the
elongated object moving from 2 to 4 o’clock. It was not visible
without looking through NVG’s. It had no lights. When comparing it
to the planes in the airspace around it, it was very large. Bigger
than 3 777’s. When it got to the 4 o’clock position it faded away
quickly. The skies were clear.
12/17/22 Tupelo, MS
7:45PM Anomalistic motion; Saw two bright
white lights as on approach - I thought to myself this could be a
plane, but there were no blinking beacons that I could see. The two
objects were nearly side by side getting brighter, then they both
went vertical in a spiral action eventually converging to one light,
and then dissappear heading South. Shortly after seeing this I saw a
third light show up just below where the other lights converged,
this one heading toward the South and vertical and then fade away,
circle back and North, fade back to bright light, fade back to near
black seemingly circling where the other lights disappeared. Moved
like searching for something.
12/18/22 Springfield, OR
6:00PM "Obvious craft; I moved to be
directly under it and it was clearly a triangle shaped craft, about
800 ft away over the neighborhood, Craft moved east right over us,
About 15 ft tall
And 100 ft long. Pic.. NUFORC note: Photo appears
reminiscent of Starlink but the triangular description contradicts
that."
12/20/22 New Gretna, NJ
1:04AM Obvious craft or has Anomalistic
motion; Big metallic orb, estimate the size as roughly VW van sized,
half mile up, half mile away, VERY BRIGHT white light emanating from
the bottom third of it. Zipping around at crazy speed. Zigzagging at
angles that make no sense, seemingly no reason to it, without any
break in speed as it changes direction INSTANTALY.
