Analytical Notes      NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
                                 February 2023, rel May

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.

These are my findings:
 
2-2-23  Miami, FL 4:48 PM, Spherical/Cone shape craft, Huge about 10 maybe 15 X 15 feet Spherical/Cone shape BRIGHT! Bluish, white. This morning at 4:48AM right above I95 – it flew in a piloted zig zag motion, then went vertical. Came to a complete stop. Before zipping by horizontally heading east and completely vanished. Almost like it
teleported! All within 100 yards of my vehicle. Massive in size. Incredibly fast and no smoke, engine, tail or sound! [MADAR within 65 miles but report source was anonymous]

2-4-23 Benicia, CA 9:45 PM, Teardrop craft, driving on the freeway while both witnesses faced forwards. A large teardrop shaped object flew overhead. The object was either all black or didn’t reflect light. It had some kind of texture or rough surface. The object has no lights. It didn’t emit any sound or resonance as it flew over the vehicle, about 20-30 feet over head. The object flew over the vehicle from the front to the rear as it traveled overhead going in the opposite direction of traffic. The front was rounded and estimated to be 4 ft across and tapered like a teardrop. Few seconds. [Too brief]

2-5-23 McKinney, TX 10:00PM, Illuminated Cigar Shaped, traveling northbound on Lake Forest heading towards El Dorado Parkway. I observed a cigar shaped object in the sky that was illuminated. It was high on the horizon, and it suddenly descended rapidly. I continue to observe it until Lake Forest and Meadowview Road, and it was suddenly
surrounded by anywhere between 6 to 8 helicopters. My daughter was also with me and observed this and we both looked at each other and said what the heck was that. Then went below the horizon. It was no longer observable, but the helicopters were clearly visible in the sky. 5 mins. [Rated]

2-6-23 Glen Mills, PA 6:45PM, Rectangle shaped craft, Object was flying to the left of the highway. Object first appeared as a light shaped like a rectangle. It began shape shifting, changing color, and folding into itself as I was taking a picture of it before it disappeared into thin air. There were lights on the object, There was an aura or haze around the object, The object changed color. *Clear pic.. [Pic not clear.]

2-8-23 Paradise Mt. Rainier National Park, WA 9:31AM, Chrome cigar shaped craft, I was just watching the beautiful weather change each minute and I saw the image immediately and so I saved the page then I also saved the next minute. *Clear pic.. [Not impressive]

2-9-23 Quartzite, AZ 4:00PM, Cigar shaped craft, I saw a dark object moving across the blue sky. I thought it was a kite from a nearby campsite but it was slowly moving at a steady space towards the east. There was a slight haze, it never really seemed to be in focus. I watched it for around 5 minutes until it disappeared behind a mountain. I would guess the mountain to be around 10 miles from my position. The UFO was big but far away. I looked at it thru my binoculars, it appeared to be cigar shaped and black. *Pic [Not impressive]


2-9-23 Reisterstown, MD 8:30PM, V Shaped craft, Slow moving gun metal gray carbon fiber stealth bomber shaped front with white lites 3 on each side of front V Shape. 100 -150 feet fr., Gun metal V shaped with 6 white lights at edges of front. 1 blinking red light at rear. Looked like a stealth fighter front and hollow rounded rear that connects in the rear. Silent 125 feet above townhouse. moving slowly above my head. If there were no lights it would have been a shadow only T very low altitude. Held coarse and direction. No sound at all. [Not impressive]

2-10-23 Williamson, WV 7:39PM, Disc shaped craft, I was in my shed working on a metal box and went back in for dinner. I was walking back in and in the sky I saw a disk like shape that looked only silver and it just floated in mid-air. The spacecraft was low towards the ground not too far up from the trees and field. I had hunting binoculars so I could
get a good look at it. Part of the shape towards to top was more visible and I could make out the shape of a figure that didn’t look human like. I open the door inside the house to tell my wife and tell my cousin to come out to get a look at it. After 1-2 minutes after they come out it starts to slowly move and it looked like it was slowly going around in small circles. Then the tip or the ship turns unnaturally nothing like I’ve ever seen before and starts going towards the ground. It starts to pick up speed and an indescribable color of light flashes right before it crashes. It was a bright light. My hounds started barking and trying to run over so I had to get them inside and figure out who to call and what to do. I went online to figure out what to do because I didn’t want people thinking I’m crazy so I found the number for the UFO hotline. The space-craft landed behind my barn and somewhere deep into the cornfield across the river. *JH: Not sure? [What happened after that?]

2-11-23 Lexington, VA 5:15PM, Cigar / Saucer shaped craft, A white cylinder, rounded on both ends, about 5 or 6 times longer than wide. No wings, no contrail, no sound. The direction of travel was from east, north east to west, south west and was traveling in a straight line at the apparent speed of commercial airlines we see several times a day. The size, measured by the space between thumb and index finger and with arm fully extended was about a quarter of an inch or less. [Not impressive]

2-13-23 Corona, CA 2:50PM, Cigar shaped craft, I Happened to notice this object slowing moving westbound as I was traveling eastbound on the 91 freeway toward Riverside. The object moved very slow at the estimation of height of a helicopter's flight pattern. It was about the size of a large bus, cylindrical in shape, with a black glass type front end and silver metal type body with additional black side panels. There were what appeared to be 2-3 fin type appendages in the rear of it. I didn't pull over or stop my car because of traffic concerns. I literally passed under it as it moved toward the 15 freeway. No lights or noise from it. [No anom motion]

2-17-23 Sheridan, OR 7:26AM, Disc shaped craft, Early morning sunrise, south side of Hwy 18. I was driving East down Highway 18 looking at the morning sunrise, as traffic slowed and then came to a stop. I looked over south into the sky and saw a bright light that looked disk shaped with another lower rectangular shape below it moving slowly. The bright light seemed very abnormal with the contrast of the clouds and sunrise. I immediately pulled off the Hwy, took an initial photo on my phone, then tried to refocus to identify the object better, and it was gone. *Pic

2-20-23 Hartford, WI 5:00PM, Disc shaped craft, Witness saw two ufos hovering and then leave and then saw one more and then leave. Witness looked out window and saw 2 silver disk shaped objects in the sky to the north of her house. Went outside and took pictures of the objects before one flew away to the west and the other flew away to the east. Another silver disk shaped object then appeared and then left to the east. Witness did report this to the Hartford, WI Police Department who did make copies of the pictures and did file Report #23-0274 regarding this sighting. *Does not  appear actual witness made report to NUFORC.

2-24-23 Wilmington, DE 7:33PM Triangle shaped craft, 3 lights at each corner of triangle, I was driving from Claymont to Middletown, as soon as I passed exit 9 I noticed 3 lights hovering off the right as I going south down I-95. I noticed that they were not planes lights or building lights or even tower lights. When I got closer to it I noticed it was hovering over Wilmington near the cinema. At that time I saw it shift and change position. There were many cars on the road and most of us were driving over the limit until the lights of the triangle moved around. Then we slowed down in amazement before we drove past it. It was strange how the lights shifted and even though the triangle was black as night you could see the outline of it.

2-26-23 Sisquoc, CA 11:40AM, Triangle shaped craft, Caught it with my camera flying about 100 ft above ground level at mach 1+ yet no visible engine, no sonic boom, no contrail, no sound! I was out for a Sunday drive snapping photos of the snow on the peaks east of Santa Maria. The snow level had recently dropped down to about 1000 ft--a rare event here. Hoping to snap better pictures, I drove about 12 miles southeast of Santa Maria to the little village of Sisquoc which offers more dramatic views of the mountains. I was looking for snowy picturesque peaks, not UFOs. At approximately 11:40 AM (give or take 15 minutes), I had just driven east of Sisquoc and started snapping more pix. Sisquoc is at about 460 ft elevation. My guesstimate is that this craft was flying about 100 ft above the ground at an elevation of 560 ft above sea level. I guesstimate the vessel to be travelling 800-1200 MPH. The craft had no visible engine or intake humps, no sound, no contrails, no visible lights, no markings, no tail. The craft was far too large and fast to be a drone. Also, the nose of the craft was too blunted, the "wings" too "veed" & the craft was too tailess to be a Stealth or an F117. I did check out "secret" prototype aircraft online to see if there was anything like it but they all had long needle noses or were otherwise too different so no match. THE MOST ASTOUNDING THING ABOUT THIS CRAFT WAS THE SPHERE SUSPENDED BETWEEN THE END OF THE TWO "WINGS" AT THE BACK OF THE VESSEL. THE SPHERE HAD NO VISIBLE MEANS OF SUPPORT! I guesstimate the craft to be about 50 ft in length & the sphere at the back to be about 6-10 feet in diameter. These are just my extremely unprofessional estimates. The craft was about 5 miles east of my position & appeared to be flying northbound. I would estimate the craft to be 5 1/8 mile east of Sisquoc flying quite low for the speed it was travelling. *Pic – nice clear [Time not concise enough]

2-27-23 Rosedale, MD 12:15AM, Disc shaped craft, Bright hovering disc spotted in wooded area behind neighbor’s house. It was too low to be an aircraft and it was in between trees. The light was white but had a purple light in the shape of a sling underneath at one point. The disc was vibrating and at one point there appeared to be beams of light
passing to the ground. I went to get my phone to take a pic and after I turned all the lights off in my house it was gone before I could get back outside to do so. I did observe it from 2 windows before it disappeared.

2-28-23 Tipp City, OH 6:16PM, Tic Tac shaped craft, I was in front of my house and I looked up the sky to see the moon. It was before sunset and no cloud and very blue sky. I immediately noticed that there was a white object flying next to the moon. It was a white tic tac or egg shape object flying about 2000 to 2500 ft above the ground. It didn't make any sound and kept coming toward me. After coming near my head, it turned 90 degrees and flow away from me. I took a photo immediately and it is attached to this report. I took video of it but the focus was not good as it moving away from me. When the object was turning 90 degrees, I saw a small aircraft flying nearby about 1500 to 2000ft above ground. I wonder if the pilot saw what I was seeing there. I saw this white tic tac or egg shape flying object on July 3rd, 2022 and I believe its the same object. You can see July 3rd 2022 sight report in Tipp City OH in NUFORC database. *Pic
