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.

I apologize for this delayed report, mostly due to "Black Tuesday"
of June 27th where our updated but flawed software was inadvertantly
released to the MADAR server. It has taken far longer to get back
into things, but we're getting there. This is where our Project
MATCH people can really help. What I'm asking is that any
State MUFON UAP Analyst or independent researcher take a good hard
look at sightings in their State (or nearby States), making sure the
value is worth the effort, and see if there are any MADAR sites near
them. The sighting must be of the quality worth correlating with an
anomaly. No orbs, distant lights in the sky, distant daylight
objects of little scientific value, and only black triangles with
anomalistic motion that eliminate "black projects". I will help you
with any of these that qualify. The first thing to do is look
through this list and highlight sightings in your area. FTR, there
is no useable data after the 6/27 software issue.

These are my findings:
6-1-23 Mount Vernon, WA 10:30PM, Anomalous movements, Object was
morphing and pulsating. Latitude - Longitude 48.41050, - 122.30815.
UFO/UAP 06/01/23 10:30 pm, I was looking north, it was heading east,
from over the ocean. I have been watching a low traveling, morphing,
bright light through my high-powered binoculars. It was heading
north east from me and low in the sky. It first appeared oval, but
then it became perfectly round. Its bright orange gold light,
changed from lighter to darker. It also had black dots or holes that
moved across it changing directions and sizes, like boiling liquid.
I first saw it in the shape of a circle. It was pulsating and
shining very bright then darker colored gold and orange. Then it
would change position and just looked like a flat golden pancake. It
maneuvered again and I only saw a dark sliver of it. But, on the
outsides of the dark sliver, it was still bright gold. It appeared
at first to be flying up right, and now it was flying on its side.
Then back to flying upright. Pulsating with those black holes moving
continuously. Very active and appeared to be always pulsating and
changing its shape. It kept dropping lower and was heading west
towards Mount Baker. *Pic
6-2-23 Lakewood, OH 1:21AM, Triangular-Diamond shaped craft, The
shape of the craft was triangular diamond shaped that had sharp
edges. It was white, glowing, and soundless. It stayed the exacted
speed with the exact height for the duration of its travel. It
wasn’t going fast or slow maybe like 5-10 mph. The motion of it was
unusual it was gliding but unnatural. Certainly something I haven’t
seen before. We were in the pool swimming when I looked up and it
emerge from the house and flew across to the end of garage then
disappeared. It was a residential neighborhood near Lake Erie.

6-2-23 Norwalk, IA 9:14PM, Orb / Diamond shaped craft – Anomalous
movements, There were lights on the object. Object moved quickly and
appeared to change shape slightly. My dad witnessed this, but asked
me to post. He said he was at the gas station and looked up because
he saw a light below the clouds. He said the object moved around
quickly and changed from a circle to almost a diamond shape. It
zipped behind the clouds and he was unable to locate it again. *Pic
6-3-23 BadAxe, MI 10:00AM, Disk shaped craft – military jets
involved, F16s or f35s dogfighting a UAP. While dropping my camper
off at thumb storage the morning of june 3rd 2023 at 10:00 am i was
sitting in my car while my husband was unhooking the camper from the
truck and all the sudden you could hear jets and they where loud and
going so fast so as i sat there watching them like I always do when
i hear jets they started shooting off flairs and circling this
object i seen come out of the light of the sun and its very hard too
describe but from what i had seen it was a disk like shape metallic
in color but a weird kind of metallic it was blending with the sun
so i yeld for my husband Christopher Bilbrey and he was already
attempting to record what was going on the jets continued to circle
this uap a few more times and shot of flares once again it seems as
they kept loosing it in the sun and the uap was silent and moved in
a kind of skipping motion and after losing it again the jets took
off. *NUFORC Note: More details on this report can be found in a

6-3-23 St Johns, FL 10:03PM, Orb shaped craft – Anomalistic
movements, Large bright object hovering over trees. We witnessed an
extremely bright orb floating high in the sky over trees. For about
10 minutes It didn’t seem to move. Just hovered. We were able to
judge what it was doing by where it was in relation to the treeline.
Over the course of about 20 minutes, it came down closer to the tree
line and then went west very very fast. It covered a great distance
in just a few minutes, then was completely gone. The object was a
very large floating orb that changed colors. I witnessed this, my
husband and daughter, and the neighbors as well. We have never seen
anything like this before. I’m attaching a video taken with an
iPhone. There may be a simple explanation for this, but I would
really like to know what it was. *Pic
6-3-23 Monroe Oregon, OR 10:30PM, Disk shaped craft – Anomalous
movements, Greenish Blue streak turned into silver disk shape that
was swirling with white light. Greenish Blue streak appeared low in
Sky headed diagonally towards ground. Turned into silver disk shape
that was swirling with white light. My Wife was able to keep her
eyes on it the whole time, as I was driving. It seemed to be
hovering in the same spot, with no visible signs of propulsion. For
a moment it started to descend, then it popped up and disappeared.
This is my 2nd obvious UFO event in Oregon, and the only 2 of my
life. Being I have the credibility of a 2nd person seeing the same
thing at the same time in this event, I decided to report.
6-3-23 Dresher, PA 11:30PM, Chevron shaped craft – Anomalous
movements (Hovering), There were lights on the object. Object was
hovering high then sped off at a very high speed. Went out back of
my house and saw the object floating above my neighbor's
yard high above the trees. It had green lights on the bottom of it.
After hovering there for roughly 2-3 minutes, it sped off over
towards a more populated area.
6-8-23 Blackshear, GA 12:37AM, Orb shaped craft, My dad saw,
whatever it was, first while he was walking by himself in a wooded
area between my neighborhood and one close to mine where there is a
pronounced dirt trail/track around an overgrown man-made pond. From
his words, "I was walkin' around the pond a few
minutes ago, and I seen this ball of light in the air flashing like
it was taking pictures! I sat there and watched it turn around the
end of the pond and keep going without making a sound. I ran
to see where it went, and it was gone!" At the time of
telling me this, I had just gotten home from a friend's
house to find him in the truck with it cranked and ready to go. He
was telling me that he was about to go get me so we could ride
around to the other neighborhood, which was in the direction that he
last saw it moving. As we got to the end of main road in the
adjacent neighborhood, we both saw it. I immediately pulled my
phone's camera up and out of the window of the passenger
truck door and began recording. In the video, you can see a bright
ball of light flashing that seems to move away from the camera,
further into the treeline on the other side of the opening it was
originally in. After thinking about all possible ways to debunk what
we saw, I came to thinking I may have been up a little to long and
was mistaking the blinking light of a cell tower that is normally
seen right above the treeline in a couple directions at night. Even
after rewatching the video, I convinced myself that the ball of
light was motionless
and it was just my shakiness moving it on-screen. The strange part
about that being the reason would be that the cell tower has a red
blinking light, and if that were the case, there would be no
possible way I could the camera far enough to move the light behind
the trees. I was sitting still in the passenger seat of a truck,
stopped at the end of a road.
Thinking back, I could also very vividly, with the naked eye, see
the tops of the trees around the orb light up with every flash as it
moved further into the trees. The picture shows the location and
view as a reference. It was accidentally taken with the flash as I
was in a rush to get the camera out to film a video.
6-8-23 Campbellsville, KY 10:30PM, Rectangle shaped craft –
Anomalous movement, This is seen at nite and is rectangular with a
huge white flashing light at each side. It vanished before you can
blink. We also saw this on another nite approx 3weeks prior to the
6th of June 2023. The first time we saw it, it was hovering over a
neighbor's house and the house was dwarfed in comparison. No
sound just lights then gone . We saw it again tonight on June 6th
approx 1030 pm while at our county fair when I was attempting
to make a video of a ride. It was moving away very slowly and we
just stood and watched the lights flashed slow and simultaneously. I
tried to make a pic but it didn't show well on my phone.
6-12-23 Anchorage, AK 1:02AM, Triangle shaped craft – Anomalous
movement (hovered), A green blue triangle hovered near my home by my
truck for 25-30 seconds. Didn't make a sound but felt
something inside my bones. I don't know how to say this but
I felt something inside me and saw things. Went to my window and a
green blueish triangle was above my truck maybe a 100 feet. Right
above the trees. Left less than a minute after. But still have what
I think they were trying to tell me.
6-12-23 Joshua Tree, CA 10:20PM, Cigar shaped craft – Anomalous
movements, UAP seen less the 100ft off ground shaped like a cigar
shaped harmonica. UAP approached our camp sight, coming up over the
40ft barrier of rocks; it seem to hover 20 plus ft above rocks for a
30 seconds or so, seeming to rotate or change direction, then is
shot off faster then any known military aircraft. It had
rectanglular segments that seem to create a belt around the craft of
low glow white or gray lights, and two more distinct lights (that
seemed to be headlights). The UAP was silent, and seemed to create a
noise reaction because all the insects went silent during the
sighting and then went back to normal as soon as UAP zipped off. The
UAP appeared to be gray in color and devoid of any mechanical sound
or sound at all.
6-13-23 Pleasant Lake, IN 10:57PM, Rectangle shaped craft, Low, slow
flying dark gray rectangle with flashing lights headed north east
over I-69. Checking horses before headed in for the night, my 9 year
old son began screaming about lights in the sky that were
blinking. I went out of the barn and looked up to see a VERY slow
and low flying rectangle shaped object. The lights along the bottom
were in a line, bright LED white, and illuminating the bottom.
Bottom appeared to be dark gray. Husband, a Navy Vet, came out
because of the yelling and saw the object as it crossed over our
property to the adjacent property and passed by/over a radio tower
and continued north east over I-69 and towards Angola and the
Indiana/Ohio/Michigan border. 100% WAS NOT STARLINK, we've
seen that several times and this was way way way lower, brighter,
and had body to it. Husband estimates it was flying at maybe 20,000
feet. The dogs and horses have been EXTREMELY agitated since the
sighting, especially the broodmare that has a foal at her side.
6-14-23 Mesa, AZ 2:35PM, Rectangle shaped craft – low elevation,
Black rectangular UAP sighted. My family and I were driving from St
George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed
a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my
car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my
car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check
out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to
take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just
disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings
or lights. There were no wings or propellers.
6-15-23 Southaven- Walls, MS 4:30AM, Triangle shaped craft, ilent
brightly lit triangle object. I was drinking coffee on my deck at
approx 4:30 am when I saw a triangular shaped craft slowly
approaching from the east. Memphis airport is 12 miles east of my
home so I’m used to seeing jets every morning. However this object
had colored lights above and brightly lit white light covering the
entire bottom. It made no noise at all. It was traveling directly
over head at approximately 300 feet. It was very low. It took
approximately 3 minutes from sighting to be out of my view. It did
not stop and hover but kept going in a north east direction slowly.
It was not huge triangle but about the size of a Cessna 10 seater.
There was no sound at all.
6-22-23 New Castle, CO 10:18PM, Huge Cigar shaped craft, Ocean
freighter size craft floated by – lasted 30 sec. Light in NW sky
appeared as star then comet-like then looked as nuclear sub size
silent craft moving 5k ft over north edge of subdivision. Lights
were on constantly like a passenger ship on the ocean then started
blinking as it was directly in front of me before moving out of
sight behind leafy tree on right side of yard.
6-25-23 Manteca, CA 4:30AM, Disk shaped object, I was entering the
yard and I saw a “disk” type of UFO, and it had ablueish light
surrounding it, as soon as I seen it, gone. It was a disk, bright
with blueish light surroundings, disappearing as soon as I was able
to identify it, quickly gone, no track.
6-25-23 Riverside, RI 6:41PM, Cigar shaped craft, Noticed a
stationary object above the tree line. Me and my boyfriend were
sitting on a park bench on a clear and sunny day. I noticed across
the bay a stationary object above the tree line. I pointed it out to
him and we figured it was a plane because it was in a common flight
path. We watched it for about a minute and it seemed to not move at
all then moved in almost a straight line down towards the tree line.
It stopped right above the tree line for another few seconds and
then move down again out of view. The whole encounter seemed to have
lasted 1-2 minutes. *Pic
6-25-23 Long Beach, CA 7:00PM, Cylinder shaped craft, Slow moving
cylinder traveling over the harbor. It was nearing sunset and the
moon was nearly full and out in the sky. I saw a cylinder-shaped
craft cross in front of the moon and travel south towards Seal
Beach, California…until it disappeared into the midair. There were
no clouds in the sky. It was moving very slow. It had no lights
flashing on it. It had no sound. It had a shadow on the bottom and
was very shiny on top. It was right above Long Beach Harbour in,
Long Beach, California.
NO MADAR DATA AFTER THIS POINT. But if someone wants to investigate
a case I can get contact information.
6-28-23 Lamont, CA 12:47AM, Chevron shaped craft, Craft was flying
around 200 ft off ground on the north side of highway 5. I was
driving on the southbound lane heading towards LA on the 5 and
witnessed to my left a chevron shaped craft the size of a Boeing 747
hovering about 1000 feet off the ground with around 10 bright lights
on it. It
banked to the left, cut the lights, and it became clear that the
craft was non reflective and seemingly black in color. It then dove
towards the ground over a field, righted itself so it was parallel
to the ground at around 50 ft off the ground and flew for around
1000 feet then lifted up and sped away disappearing. None of the
plants or crops seemed to be
blowing or effected by the craft. It was much more agile that a
regular plane and due to its size surprising that if it was military
it would be allowed to cut its lights as well as fly that low by a
highway. Many other cars seemingly reacted to it as well but I did
not stop to chat with anyone as there were no immediate exits.
6-28-23 Fort Clark Springs, Brackettville, TX 3:48AM, Disc shaped
craft, It was round disc shape and had lights that flashed
simultaneously around the edge of the craft in red, yellow, and
white. At 3:48 on the morning of Wednesday June 28, 2023 my partner
and I noticed a series of blinking lights in the sky that made a
definite form. It was a disc shape craft that was slowly coming down
at a steady pace. The lights seemed to be flashing around the center
or edge of the craft. The lights made it appear to be spinning. They
were red, yellow, and white lights but on video the only lights
visible were red and a few white. There were more lights that
appeared to the naked eye that ran the whole length of the craft. As
is slowly made its decent, my partner and I lost visual as it
disappeared behind the tree line. There was no sound at all. Not
even 5 seconds after losing visual the security for Fort Clark
Springs and the local Kinney County Sheriff were headed down the
road and passed us, straight to the direction of the craft. There
was no further sighting or any other activity from law officials.
*Nice drawing of craft attached.
6-28-23 Puyallup, WA 12:43PM, Sphere shaped craft, Saw silver sphere
in sky with sun reflecting off of it super bright. It hung in the
sky about 10 seconds, then veared off and disappear. Was driving and
saw a silver sphere floating in the sky ~ 3 foot diameter. The sun
was reflecting off of it, seemed to be floating or coming towards me
about 10 seconds, and then quickly veared down and to the left
behind a treeline. Once I got closer and passed the treeline I
couldn't see/find it anywhere. I was on 512 driving towards
the South Hill Mall exit about 3 miles away from it when I spotted
it in the sky to the left of the freeway.
6-29-23 Oklahoma City, OK 3:45PM, 6 Disk shaped objects flying in V
formation, I saw 1 V-shaped craft that flew in front of me. That was
clearly 6 round orbs in V-formation. It looked like it came up out
of the ground, a flying V. It turned right then left very fast. As
it flew in front of me I could clearly see that it was 6 round flat
saucers flying in a V formation. Then it was gone.
6-29-23 Wright City, MO 5:45PM, Triangle shaped crafts, 3 triangles
hovering over I-70. I was driving eastbound on I-70 in a somewhat
rural area. I was talking on the phone and idly looked up at the sky
and noticed what looked like 3 perfectly triangular clouds. It was
somewhat overcast / partly cloudy, and these 3 perfect triangles
were in front of the overcast sky - the same color/texture as the
clouds. However, what caught my eye was that they were perfectly
sharp/straight, identical in size, and equal distance apart as well
as not moving. I was so puzzled and kept blinking and trying to
adjust my eyes because it made no sense to see such perfectly
straight, sharply angled geometric clouds. It was impossible. The
middle triangle began to sort of dim, almost like a flicker, and
then all three of them disappeared instantly. They did not fly away,
they did not blow away - these 3 triangles completely disappeared in
the blink of an eye. I was left feeling deeply confused,
fearful, and in shock - it is hard to explain in words what I saw,
because it is not consistent with anything I have ever seen before.
Whatever those triangles were, they were not clouds. They were
defying nature. My sister was on the phone with me the whole time I
experienced it. Once I started to realize what they were, I pulled
out my camera - I tried pushing a button to record but it would not
record. I may have been too shaky and in shock to take my eyes off
of it and get my phone recording, though - I wish I was able to
capture evidence so I
wouldn’t feel so crazy.
