Analytical Notes      NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
                                 JULY, 2023, rel

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.

2023-07-01 21:57:00 Local, Location: Eden Prairie, MN, USA, Location details: 8 feet from my living room window my
security camera captured it flying behind me. Shape: Cigar, Duration: 15 seconds
Craft moved at high speed traveling south directly at my House and camera them made an abrupt turn to the west.
I was walking my dog down the driveway and a UAP appeared in the Northern part of the sky heading South directly
at my house and camera. It turned abruptly west and flew past my camera and directly behind me. *Door camera

S176597 1

2023-07-01 Approx. 2.5 NM off coast of Sloop Point, NJ, USA 3:30PM, Cube shaped object, Pulled alongside my boat.
I was afraid I was going to hit it. Stayed about 20 feet and hovered just off surface. I was on watch while sailing our
boat north for the summer, watching 2 lights off in distance. This thing appeared out of nowhere 10 to 20 feet off
my starboard bow. I was afraid I was going to hit it. It was a cube shape. Bottom 3 or 4 inches was florescent blue,
which did not reflect in the water, as a light might. Rest was too dark to see except white light on top. Approx. 3 feet
square. It was not in the water. Did not bob with waves. Did not continue on like something I would have just
passed. It made no sound. I looked at it for several seconds as it stayed right beside me. I then reached across the
cockpit for binoculars. When I turned to it again, it had pulled off about 60 feet and kept on same trajectory as boat.
Then, white light on top began to grow brighter and brighter. It created a white cone about 3 feet into the air above.
It remained for about 10 seconds and slowly and smoothly made its way SE. Watched it go. Was soon out of sight.
Was not scary or threatening. I am a retired NGO director and have lived on a boat for the past 20 years. I am 76, in
good health and not bonkers. I do not drink or do drugs and was well rested.

2023-07-09 23:15:00 Local, Location: North Myrtle Beach, OH, USA, Location details: On the beach by apache pier,
Shape: Light, Duration: 45 Seconds, No of observers: 1
Light appeared about 25 ft above my head and moves to the right of me and went over the building to my right and
disappeared. It appeared to be a ball of light but then it changed into like just a morphing ball of light almost. The
video I took of it better describes it. *Detailed map and clear video.

2023-07-09 21:30:00 Local, Location: Greentown, IN, USA, Location details: US HWY 35 westbound about 1.5 miles
east of US HWY 31, Shape: Formation – orange spheres, Duration: 30 seconds.
I was driving east bound on US HWY 35 from Greentown to Kokomo on Saturday July 9th at approximately 9:30pm.
I was about 1.5 miles west of US HWY 31 in Kokomo and the sky was just getting dusk, and I saw these 3 fire orange
round orbital lights floating about 50 feet in the air above a house next to a corn field. The orbs were about the size
of basketballs and not moving. The orbs were in a perfect diagonal line about 20 feet apart from each other. I
thought maybe they were drones or helicopters so I rolled my windows down but heard nothing. I slowed down as I
passed and looked back and all of a sudden I saw only one orange orb and it suddenly shot across the sky and
disappeared and in less than a second it was completely gone! This is the first time I have ever seen anything like
this so I researched it and found that Howard County Indiana has had quite a past with these experiences. Because
I was driving alone I was not able to get any pictures. Thank you.

2023-07-11 22:00:00 Local, Location: Hubbardston, MI, USA, Location details: 43.11824613820986, -
84.7746931744684, Shape: Blue Orb, Duration: 1 minute, No of observers: 4
While we were visiting friends in a very rural area in Michigan, we went outside after dark to see the stars, when to
the north we heard the unmistakable sound of a Blackhawk helicopter flying north to south about a half mile east
of our location. As it a got closer to our location we noticed a small (10' diameter) faintly glowing orb about 1/4 mile
ahead of the helicopter at the same altitude (less than 2k feet). The helicopter and the orb were traveling at least
100 mph. The skies were completely clear and crisp. We observed them for over 1 minute until they traveled over
the horizon to our south-southeast. My friend has lived in this area all of his life and has rarely seen any military
aircraft, particularly one flying so low. The object in question made absolutely no sound. I worked for the DoD for
12 years and lived near military bases all my life and I'm very familiar with Blackhawk helicopters as well as the
many other aircraft in the inventory - the orb was something I've never observed. For what it's worth, the many
cicadas and crickets that are normally chirping, went completely silent during this incident and did not resume for
at least 30 minutes after.

2023-07-12 23:36:00 Local, Location: Fairview Park, OH, USA, Location details: Over west 217th and west 215th
streets, Shape: Cylinder, Duration: 4 seconds, No of observers: 2
Tic tac object. Color and as bright as moon. Was width of a dime at arms length. Moved north to south at 40
degrees above horizon as viewed from skylight window in 4 seconds but had definitive edges with a slight hazy aura
around it. No noise or aircraft sounds. Unmistakable tic tac shape. Followed ten minutes later by another object
having a red light centered in a hazy white round blob. This moved first north and suddenly reversed direction to
south-south east. Size of blob similar to first object and observed for about 6 seconds. Hopkins airport is near but
these objects had NO running lights, wing surfaces or other shapes indicating convential aircraft. We are
professionals in journalism and military history in our early seventies and have written many articles and op Ed's for
large area newspapers. One of us has won 2 awards in journalism.

07/13/2023 11:15 PM, Location: Merced, CA, Shape: Triangle, Duration: 1 min
Characteristics: There were lights on the object, It flew over my house and tree. In pool stargazing - the ufo flew
overhead and scared my wife and 11yo son. They said it was black triangle and had 5 lights. 07/17/2023 10:27AM
Sullivan, MO, Shape: Cigar, Duration: 30 seconds to a minute,
We saw a long white tic tax type cylinder with rounded edges hovering above the tree line. My kids and I were
carpooling home in 2 cars from St.Louis, MO to Springfield, MO headed west on I-44 when we saw a long white tic
tac type cylinder with rounded edges hovering above the tree line. I instantly turned my phone towards it that was
on a mount and I thought started recording. I first spotted an enormous long cylinder shape right above the tree
line probably less than a few miles away. I noticed skydivers parachuting near by and thought this might be the
plane that dropped them but then noticed the object was too far away from the skydivers to have dropped them
and the more I looked I noticed the cylinder object was about the length of several large airplanes, and obviously
not a small plane to drop skydivers. I would say the object was half a mile to a mile long. It was enormous in length.
Solid white, with rounded ends, like a giant half mile long propane tank hovering in the sky. I was blown away. I
went over a hill and the object disappeared behind the tree line, when I got over the hill the object was gone. The
skydivers were still there. My teenage son who was driving behind me, called me on my cell phone right after it
disappeared and said Dad did you see that! I was so happy that he had seen it too. I said yes and I got it on video
but then I looked down and I noticed in my excitement I had forgot to hit record on the phone. I was so sad. I then
asked my son what he had seen? He said that he was driving and noticed a white circle light in the sky and asked his
sister who was also in the car with him if she saw it. At first she did not, but then after scanning the sky she saw it
too. They both said then the object started moving left in the sky as a circle of light and then instantly became a
giant line in the sky they said. They also noticed the parachuters but also noticed this object was miles away from
the parachuters. I felt like the object was almost watching the skydivers, and if the skydivers were wearing cameras
or if anyone was filming them coming down from the ground below they had to have caught this giant object on
camera somewhere. Anyways my son said he saw it turn from a bright circle to a long line and then he said he
looked again as he was driving and it was gone but my daughter said she watched the line move left in the sky and
the rapidly take off like it had propulsion and disappear. I called the skydiving place to ask if they had any witnesses
but they said they would get back to me and that was a few days ago and I haven’t heard back.

07/19/2023 5:31 PM, Location: Dayton, OH, Shape: Disk, Duration: ~25 seconds
Reflective disk in broad daylight, headed at 11 degree bearing (south, slightly west). I was driving southbound on
Woodman at 5:31 PM today, July 19th of 2023 (writing this at 6:35 PM). Saw a shiny, reflective disk (shiny but
shadowed on bottom) just like the one at 4 minutes, 13 seconds in The Phenomenon by James Fox. Was heading
south, slightly west, away from Wright Patterson Air Force Base. Disk appeared to be roughly 300 feet in the air. I
could immediately tell - this was absolutely not a plane. Regardless, all options must be ruled out, so once I got
home (15 minutes later), I checked numerous flight radars to see if there were any planes passing the surrounding
area in said direction - nothing, at all. Object was not visible for approximately ten to fifteen seconds due to trees,
after which I pulled into a very open parking lot in attempt to relocate object. Was completely gone, not visible
whatsoever. Weather had clouds in the far distance, but was (still is) fairly clear in my relative area. I've seen things
that were "hmm, that's kinda strange… could have a prosaic explanation I'm just not thinking of…" before. This was
very, very obviously not a plane. There was no exhaust emitted from this object whatsoever. No trail. It was very,
very obviously not a balloon or drone. I'm very confused as to what this was.

07/21/2023 7:36 PM Location: Tucson, AZ, Shape: Disk, Duration: <60 seconds.
I did not actually notice the UFO when I was taking the pictures I uploaded. It was only when I got home and started
looking at the pictures and noticed that there was an unusual spacecraft in the 3 pictures it's included in, and that it
was in different positions in each picture and the pictures were taken within a period of 60 seconds. I considered
that it could be a lens glare but the object is too defined and detailed it looks like something that was definitely
created. Hence, I concluded that it was a UFO. *Note: Pics
Explanation: Camera Anomaly - Possible

07/22/2023 7:31 AM Location: La Porte, TX, Shape: Disk, Duration: 1 minute
Characteristics: Animals reacted to the event.
Really close and hovering, I was sitting on back porch having my morning coffee. Looked over and saw a large silver,
shiny, round disc hovering and slowly moving to the right over neighbors house. It was about 620 ft from me, about
40 ft off the ground. It was bigger than a average size house. It made no noise and when I went to grab my phone
out of my lap to record, it literally went invisible within a second. It stayed slowly hovering for at least 40 seconds
from the time I noticed it to the time I went to grab my phone. I’m freaked out and scared.

2023-07-22 15:30:00 Local, Location: Hobucken, NC, USA, Location details: Bay River, Shape: Sphere
Duration: 10 seconds, No of observers: 1
Silver Sphere Moving over Water - Saw a silver (shiny) sphere/ orb moving at very high speed at about 75 feet
of altitude over the waters of Bay River heading towards the Pamlico Sound. No sound, very fast, straight line
level flight towards the Pamlico sound. Moving from the NW to the SE.

2023-07-22 20:22:00 Local, Location: Fort Laudetdale, FL, USA, Shape: Light, Duration: Few minutes
No of observers: 6 NUFORC Explanation: Green fishing lights – Probable, Characteristics: Lights on object,
Emitted other objects. Underwater bright lights unusual speed/brightness.
Out fishing on Teo boats, on one of them my friend and his wife, in the other boat, dad, little brother, his
friend and my self, as we heading back to shore we noticed what’s it seems to be a boat capsizing, long story
short, it was two underwater “lights”, kind of messing with each other and moving very fast for being
underwater. I’ll attach a video, thanks *Note: very clear video – possible USO

2023-07-27 14:20:00 Local, Location: Plainfield, IN, USA, Location details: Above the Kroger where 267 meets
40, Shape: Triangle, Duration: 1 minute, No of observers: 2
2 objects above store. There were 2 objects. One slightly above the Kroger store, rotating counterclockwise. It
was slowly drifting east one second then freezing. The higher object was about 2 football fields above the
lower object and was completely stationary. I couldn't see it through my camera but could see it with the
naked eye. After a minute of recording, I couldn't see either object. *Note: Clear Video
*Bonus sighting from UK: 2023-07-29 00:20:00 Local, Location: Worksop, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom
Shape: Disk, Duration: Around a minute, No of observers: 2, Flying saucer with red lights.
Me and my Mrs were sat watching the TV when my Mrs exclaimed 'What the f**k is that?' She pointed to our
open window and a flying saucer a couple of hundred feet away flew past our house. It was Brilliantly
illuminated by varying red glowing spheres. A central large one and two either side of it about half as big as
the central one. Above and below it was a strip of much smaller red spheres. The body of the saucer looked
black. At points the lights were so strong it was hard to see details but the lights were pulsing so that when it
didn't shine so bright I was able to see the details I described. As my Mrs tried to capture it on her phone I
went out onto our garden and waved at it with both arms in an attempt to get it to come back. Instead of
moving further away it shut its lights off. I waited 5 minutes to see if I could see anymore, but no. (rest missing)
