ANALYTICAL NOTES
NMS Sightings from NUFORC & MUFON
JUNE 2024
It is my job each month to select potential sightings of interest
from the NUFORC printout (National UFO Reporting Center). The number
varies from 30-50 each month. This NMS list is then submitted to the
MADAR Operations Officer, Fran Ridge. Although some MUFON entries
might have been listed, it is the job of each MUFON state group
under Project MATCH to provide MUFON listings of potential
sightings of interest. Non MADAR Sightings (NMS) are entries where
MADAR was NOT tripped, but the quality of the nearby sighting
suggests that MADAR records be checked for significant spikes in the
data.

MADAR UFO Officer
================
Once I get the NMS list from the MADAR UFO Officer I go over each
case narrative and select incidents that I feel a scientist or
serious researcher would consider as good supporting, documented
evidence of some type of advanced aerial vehicle. Using an FI-5
Procedure Guide or Case Evaluation Worksheet I obtain the latitude
and longitude of the sighting and generate a registration dot on the
MADAR Map to see where the nearest MADAR site is in relation to it.
Based on the quality of the sighting and the location I then check
the data logged on that MADAR site. This NMS shows the status of
each case. If I missed something in this draft pleased send me a
private email at
franridge42@gmail.com
IDFE - Insufficient Data For Evaluation
NOL - means the MADAR site was Not On Line at the time of the
incident.

NUFORC Sighting 181702, Occurred: 2024-06-02 19:30 Local, Reported:
2024-06-02 20:40 Pacific, Duration: long time, No of observers: 2,
Location: Davenport, CA, USA, Location details: walking trail,
Shape: Diamond, Color: black, Estimated Size: 40, Viewed From: Land,
Direction from Viewer: top, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest
Distance: 100- feet, Estimated Speed: dont know, Characteristics:
Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby, Missing Time, Animals
reacted.In daylight a black object stopped in the sky. Dark object.
very hard to see shape, looked like diamond or two sided pyramid.
Happened at 730, strange feeling - its darker outside faster after
seeing this. Terrifying dead sound everywhere. It was 100 feet ahead
and nothing could be heard no animals no wind not noises. Saw it fly
back up into mountains and then it was moving very fast while two
jets were chasing after it head to ocean and cannot see more. [IDFE]
NUFORC Sighting 181763, Occurred: 2024-06-03 06:10 Local, Reported:
2024-06-04 07:42 Pacific, Duration: 20 minutes, No of observers: 2,
Location: Nashville, TN, USA, Location details: Greenway trail at
Fontanel, Shape: Changing, Color: dark grey, Estimated Size:
50-60ft, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: 220 degrees SW,
Angle of Elevation: 69, Closest Distance: 200-400 ft, Estimated
Speed: Floating slowly, Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed
Color, Morphing UAP. My wife and I observed a small craft floating
across the sky with changing lights. The UAP was about the size of a
small Cessna in circumference at its largest and would decrease in
size when morphing into other shapes. As the craft slowly floated
across the sky above the trees it was constantly changing shape and
had bright lights that would change with the morphing shapes. We
observed shapes from a straight line to a circle, to a curved odd
shape as if it was entangled into itself. As it morphed bright
white/blue steel type lights were coming off the object randomly
making different patterns. It was very odd. It gently floated across
the sky and would stop still then continue to slow float silently
across the sky a couple hundred feet above the trees. It came from
the South and was heading Westwardly. [IDFE]
NUFORC Sighting 181775, Occurred: 2024-06-03 15:50 Local, Reported:
2024-06-05 11:15 Pacific, Duration: About 30 seconds, No of
observers: 1 – Military, Location: Laguna, NM, USA, Shape: Triangle,
Color: VERY bright chrome, Estimated Size: About the size of a
fighter jet, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: East, Angle
of Elevation: 10, Closest Distance: Approximately 2 miles, Estimated
Speed: Too fast to estimate. 2 triangular (like a paper airplane)
flying objects - I was driving east on I40 approaching the Laguna
exit. I saw 2 VERY bright objects flying low (approximately the
height of the cliffs just beyond the town) in the sky. The objects
appeared to be reflecting sunlight extremely brightly (the way
polished chrome or a mirror, but MUCH brighter). All of their
movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they were tethered
together. They moved in all directions faster than anything I’ve
ever seen—up, down, left, right, forward, backwards—and occasionally
would sit perfectly motionless in the sky. Eventually, the objects
flew to the north so quickly that they were out of sight almost
immediately. [IDFE]
NUFORC Sighting 181776, Occurred: 2024-06-05 01:00 Local, Reported:
2024-06-05 10:43 Pacific, Duration: about 30 seconds, No of
observers: 12, Location: Golden, CO, USA, Location details: North of
Red Rocks about a mile or so, hovering above the treetops on the
hog's back ridge. Shape: Disk, Color: Dark metallic,
Estimated Size: Several hundred feet long, Viewed From: Land,
Direction from Viewer: North, Angle of Elevation: 7, Closest
Distance: About a mile or so, Estimated Speed: It hovered in place
and then moved 5-10mph east. Characteristics: Lights on object. We
saw a large disc shaped craft with three levels of windows. It
hovered silently and then disappeared into thin air. I was working
at Red Rocks Amphitheater last night when one of our coworkers
suddenly said to us, "Hey, what is that over there? It
looks like a spaceship." We all turned to look in the
direction he was pointing and sure enough, there was a UFO hovering
about a half a mile to a mile north of red rocks. A dozen of us saw
it. We all kept asking each other, "Are you seeing this
too?" It was a resounding "yes" from
everyone in the group. What we saw was a classic disc shaped
metallic craft that was several hundred yards long. It had three
levels of windows, almost like really long 3 story office building.
This thing was totally silent. It didn't make a sound.
What's even crazier is that as soon as we all started
noticing it and stopped what we were doing to pay attention to it,
the craft tipped at an angle and slowly started moving belly-first
to the east. Then it started fading away until it was invisible. It
didn't shoot off into the distance. It simply dissolved into
the ether. We all watched it vanish. This was not a plane. It
wasn't a satellite, a drone, or anything like that. There
was no mistaking what this was: We all saw a giant disc shaped craft
hovering a few hundred feet above the ground with three rows of
windows and lights. Then we all saw it fade into nothing as soon as
it knew it was being watched. There were a dozen other people who
saw it with me. [No spikes on 317 just SW]
NUFORC Sighting 181799, Occurred: 2024-06-07 22:15 Local, Reported:
2024-06-08 03:39 Pacific, Duration: About 20 seconds roughly, No of
observers: 3, Location: Calverton, NY, USA, Location details:
Wellbridge Rehabilitation Center, Shape: Disk, Color:
Gray/White/Black, Estimated Size: disk object that could fit in
courtyard, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: SE slowly
traveling toward E, Angle of Elevation: 30, Closest Distance: hard
to say maybe anywhere from 1/2 mile to mile, Estimated Speed: slower
moving, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Color.
Small grey arc got closer and closer and seemed to become gigantic
disk shaped object. There I was observing the sky and a mostly clear
night with some low clouds. Notice a small gray arc floating slowly
across sky. This gray arc is probably not too far in distance but
not too close to feel threatening and was about a little more than
the width of the moon, so I knew something was off. It was moving
slowly to my left (seemingly south to north). What started as small
grey arc started to grow as it traveled North and closer and closer
and closer. I felt the need to walk closer out of curiosity and this
gray arc turned absolutely massive. The dark grey arc had probably
covered 30-40 degrees of my 180-degree field space, traveling close
and getting closer and had gone from this small dark gray arc to a
brighter grayish white arc where behind it you could see the black
shadow of what appeared to complete the disk like object that
seemingly was heading towards us. I had walked toward it out of
curiosity and once it was this big, I had screamed at others to
look. To describe the size and look - This deep gray arc went from a
distant thin whisp to a thick whiter than grey arc even slightly
brightening up and surface I was on. Taking up about 5 moons in
width and height (hard to describe the arc but easy to draw) After I
yelled at other to start look out of fear I turned back and all of a
sudden it was gone. It did not seem to descend into the tree line
but there were a lot of clouds. Nobody seems to have an explanation
for how it just disappeared. There was not a single sound. Nothing.

NUFORC Sighting 181809, Occurred: 2024-06-07 12:35 Local, Reported:
2024-06-08 21:34 Pacific, Duration: Not sure, No of observers: 2,
Location: Salt Lake City, UT, USA, Shape: Rectangle, Viewed From:
Land, Direction from Viewer: Straight ahead, Angle of Elevation: 45,
Closest Distance: Not sure (not very far away), Characteristics:
Aura or haze around object, 3 photos taken seconds apart all timed
stamped 12:35. Walking up to the building in the pictures. Took one
picture from a little further back, then walked up a few more steps
to get a closer picture of the building. Took two more pictures
within seconds of each other, and in the third photo the object
appeared. Made no sound, and truly did not even notice it in the sky
until I looked at the picture. My friend who was with me, was just
as shocked, as she also said she heard and saw nothing in the sky.
Our focus was straight ahead at the building so we really feel we
should have seen or heard something. Whatever this was moved in and
out of the area very quickly. *Pics [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181917, Occurred: 2024-06-08 20:21 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-17 23:24 Pacific, Duration: 1 - 2 minutes, No of
observers: 2, Location: Orlando, FL, USA, Location details: Headed
east in Metrowest, Shape: Oval, Color: black, Viewed From: Land,
Direction from Viewer: Southeast, Angle of Elevation: 79,
Characteristics: Changed Color. We were sitting on our balcony and
looked up to see 3 oval/spherical objects flying in a triangular
formation. At approximately 8:21PM, we were sitting on our balcony
and looked up to see 3 oval/spherical objects flying in a triangular
formation. They appeared to be a dark black but were reflective. At
some points they looked like they changed shape. They seemed to be
at a consistent speed but toward the end of the sighting, they
changed direction at a rapid speed and disappeared. While we were
viewing them, we checked live radar and there were no known aircraft
in the area. *Pics of craft.[IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181806, Occurred: 2024-06-08 22:11 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-08 19:51 Pacific, Duration: 5 seconds, No of
observers: 2, Location: Boone, NC, USA, Location details: Literally
on the Easter Continental Divide, Shape: Cigar, Color: silver,
Estimated Size: 100 feet, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer:
out of the south west, Angle of Elevation: 45, closest Distance: 1/4
mile. Craft moved rapidly, lighting up on and off - Me and my friend
watched this pulsating craft that seemed like it could have been at
the tree top level, or a few thousand feet in the air (or possibly
much higher). It was utterly silent (which is why we thought it was
lower for some reason). It spanned the sky in just a few seconds
although we were in a spot where the horizons were both limited to
45 degrees or so. [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181870, Occurred: 2024-06-09 14:38 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-14 13:26 Pacific, Duration: 30 seconds, No of
observers: 1, Location: Hillsboro, OR, USA, Shape: Oval, Color:
Black, Estimated Size: 8-10ft diameter, Viewed From: Land, Direction
from Viewer: South, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest Distance:
1000ft, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object. Oval
shaped object circled around directly above, then dipped down,
changed form, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared. Oval
shaped object was probably 8-10 ft in diameter, and was first
observed at cloud height (maybe 1000ft?) in Hillsboro near the
Quatama area. The object circled around directly above for maybe
10-15 secs in broad sweeping motions, then dipped down toward
southwest direction, appeared to change form into a narrow vertical
cylinder, became obscured by blurry air and disappeared. I initially
thought the object was going to drift out of view over a nearby
housing building, but the form change to the blurred view sequence
all occurred with the object in sight before just vanishing
altogether. The oval object had a trapezoidal hockey puck look at
first sight- with a white rectangular window of some sort visible
that appeared to be halfway up the sides that sloped inward toward
the top of the object. Due to the spinning, there may have been
other details that were not observed. The puck form appearance was
visible for 25-30 seconds. The form change and blurry air sequence
that followed the broad circular sweeping motions all happened
within a second and then it was gone. [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181846, Occurred: 2024-06-10 21:00 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-12 12:32 Pacific, Duration: 30 minutes, No of
observers: 10 – Military, Location: Ocala, FL, USA, Location
details: Unable to precisely identify the distance to the object
from the point of observation. Shape: Changing, Color: Bright
glowing white, Estimated Size: 150 feet, Viewed From: Land,
Direction from Viewer: South West, Angle of Elevation: 10, Closest
Distance: Estimating 1-2 miles, Estimated Speed: 100-150 mph,
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby. Group
observed a helicopter circling a lighted object for several minutes.
Object changed shape and departed rapidly to the east. The Monday
Driveway Gang here at Del Webb Stone Creek in Ocala noticed a
Helicopter circling south of us in the area of the On Top Of The
World community. This was around 9 pm. There was another white light
I didn't initially pay much attention to but wife Rachel and
a couple others commented that it was triangular in shape and seemed
to be pretty much sitting still. I finally got my phone out and
zoomed in to see what I could make out. There are limits on night
time resolution with smart phone cameras but it was better than
nothing. Initially it sort of looked like a hot air balloon with a
gondola beneath it but the balloon part was distorted a bit. Again,
based on guesses of the distance I would say it was about 1000 feet
up with a background of storm clouds in the far distance.
I'll draw some pictures later. The whole object was glowing
bright white as if it had a bunch of search lights aimed at it from
all directions. No navigation lights were visible as would be on a
normal aircraft. It was very hard to gage how big it was, with
nothing to reference it against, but I would guess it was the size
of a medium airliner. That is more on feel than anything definite.
It hung around for several minutes with the helicopter going around
it then suddenly it changed into a football shape, still glowing
bright white with what looked like 4 or 5 large windows down the
side along the midline, and rapidly left the area to the East. I
totally forgot to take pictures as I was studying it so intensely. I
went inside my house and 10 or 15 minutes later heard a jet, with
what sounded like afterburner engaged, go overhead. I rushed outside
just as it disappeared to the south. It was too dark to make out
what kind of aircraft it was beyond swept wing jet with its red and
green nav lights on. If I had to guess I would say F-16. I
don't know if any of those are in the area or where it would
have come from. I spent two careers working with all kinds of
military and civilian aircraft. I also have watched many rocket
launches and satellites going overhead. I've studied the
stars and planets. I haven't seen swamp gas yet. With all
that I have never seen anything like this before. I've been
checking Google to see if anybody else is reporting it. So far no
luck. I think I'll call the Sheriff and the Airport to see
if they have heard anything they will admit to. Very exciting to see
my first up close UFO. I might have seen one back in the 70s but I
now think I just saw a satellite on a northbound polar orbit
catching the light off the sunset. It was moving way too fast for an
aircraft and shown silver. Since I've now observed a couple
Starlink "trains" I'm pretty sure that one
was a satellite catching the sun just right. [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181847, Occurred: 2024-06-10 23:30 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-12 13:06 Pacific, Duration: 2 Minutes, No of
observers: 1 – Military, Location: Summerfield, NC, USA, Location
details: Hovering adjacent to a cloud over the woods Between Witty
Road and Mashie Drive, Shape: Triangle, Color: bright white gold,
Estimated Size: Appx. 3,000 sqft Triangle, Viewed From: Land,
Direction from Viewer: Northwest, Angle of Elevation: 50, Closest
Distance: .5 miles, Estimated Speed: N/A, Characteristics: Lights on
object, Bright Triangle Craft Hovering Next to Cloud. The triangle
hovering craft was on an angle to me. It was partly in the cloud,
but a bright light was emanating from within it. The time was 11pm
since I was taking my dog for her nightly potty break. At first I
thought it was the moon, but at second look I noticed it was
triangle in shape and its light was a very bright glassy, white,
gold color. I was looking at for at least 1.5 minutes then it just
faded out to disappear. The cloud was still adjacent to the object,
so it didn't hide behind the cloud, but slow faded out to
invisibility. *Pic or CGI? [No MADAR even close]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181885, Occurred: 2024-06-12 09:46 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-15 21:10 Pacific, Duration: 5 seconds, No of
observers: 1, Location: Charlotte, NC, USA, Location details: Just
passed Carowinds in the air on approach to CLT, Shape: Sphere (*JH:
metallic football), Color: Metallic, Estimated Size: Size of a car.,
Viewed From: Aircraft, Direction from Viewer: Southwest, Angle of
Elevation: 30, Closest Distance: 5 yards, Estimated Speed: Extremely
fast. Viewed 4 metallic objects shaped like a football, smaller than
a plane, but bigger than a car. I was flying on American Airlines
flight 5100. I have a law degree and a masters and I have been
skeptical of UAPs until I saw this myself. The majority of the plane
has their windows closed. I opened my window because my daughter
wanted to see out of it. I saw another plane approximately 70 yards
away and it looked like it was frozen in the air. I began videoing.
I turned the video off. Then to my shock, I see two metallic
objects. They were in a horizontal line just below my plane and
about 5 yards away. Then a third object was a little behind the
first two with a fourth just a tad behind the third. For a moment I
saw them all, then they jetted away as fast as they appeared. NUFORC
Note: The plane can be seen in the first photo, an odd object in the
second. * 2 Pics [MADAR 60 miles SSE of site 183 at Moravan Falls,

NUFORC UFO Sighting 181927, Occurred: 2024-06-15 08:45 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-18 10:58 Pacific, Duration: 5 -8 seconds, No of
observers: 1, Location: West Milford, NJ, USA, Shape: Disk, Color:
white-greyish, Estimated Size: It spanned several tree widths wide.
Seemed thin, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: on left and
ahead - forward some. We were traveling in a car. Angle of
Elevation: 50, Closest Distance: Not good at estimating that. It was
across a lake, Estimated Speed: floaty then picked up speed going
over the mountan. Saw a large disk hovering -flying over the
mountain top really close to the tree line and went up and over
bearfort mountain. I was a passenger in the car. We were driving to
breakfast down Union Valley road. I saw a large disk (flattish)
hovering close to the top tree line of Bearfort Mountain, West
Milford NJ. Facing the Pinecliff lake side. I saw a flatish
metallic- looking large thin disk. Where the sun was reflecting off
of it, it looked white, and gave a floaty appearance with the sun
reflecting on and off it as it maneuvered. It was hovering by the
trees lower down from the ridge (but high up) It looked from a
distance like it would crash into them. And a little out of control
Then it is maneuvered more purposely, and in control upward and over
the mountain range out of site. It stayed super close to the tree
line going over the mountain. I yelled for the other car passenger
to see, but it was too late. At first I thought it was maybe drone…
but when I googled drones and military drones nothing even closely
matched… We did have a plane show that weekend at our town airport
which is located totally on the other side of town. The air show was
also at night only. [Possible aircraft reflecting sun, but too
brief. Not that compelling]

trail. Large object hovering over summit of Redoubt volcano - While
piloting an aircraft westbound offshore of Anchor Point, Alaska, I
and my passengers observed a large object hovering over the summit
of Redoubt volcano. It hovered there for about five minutes before
proceeding north eastbound across the horizon, covering
approximately 30 to 40°. It then disappeared. It looked like a white
cylinder. It appeared to have some sort of vapor trail while
hovering that dissipated once it started moving. It was at least a
few times bigger than a 747. [Sounds like a lenticular cloud, and no
anomalistic motion].

Reported: 2024-06-24 19:48 Pacific, Duration: Bright flash
milliseconds, No of observers: 4, Location: Richland, TX, USA,
Location details: sitting on my friends porch, facing south, full
blood moon on rise, clear full moon at sighting, Shape: Flash,
Color: Bright white & blue, Estimated Size: a beam of light
50 to 100 yds. Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: directly
above us, no sound, but the beam of light came from the sky and
disappeared, Angle of Elevation: 1, Closest Distance: can't

beam of light and disappeared, Characteristics: Lights on object,
Emitted beams, Electrical or magnetic effects, Possible abduction,
Missing Time, Animals reacted. Clear night brightest light ever seen
dont know how long it was there, just remember a white and blue beam
and it disappeared. June 21, 2024, Richland, TX., Navarro County,
time was between 10 pm and 11 pm cst. I was sitting with my friend
on his porch talking and listening to music. It was a clear night
with a full moon, we were facing south enjoying the moon rising when
a white and blue beam covered the yard. It was the brightest light
(beam) I have ever seen, it seemed like it stopped directly over the
house for less than a second and it disappeared like when you turn a
flash light off. No noise coming or going, but it felt like it was
right over us. We both felt a radiant heat from the beam. We both
had immediate dry mouth, taste buds became soured. We both don’t
know if any time was lost between sighting and disappearing. There
was a feeling of shock, as if time stood still, and the WTF was
that, and did you see that? We discussed colors and I said the
brightest white light (beam), and he saw white and blue. We spent
the next hour asking ourselves if we saw what we saw. He and I have
watched many lightning storms and have felt the blast of a bolt that
was so close, we heard the crinkle, pop, and then boom, and the bolt
seemed to be 10’ wide. Needless to say we hauled ass inside. The
light beam from whatever it was from above us felt like we were
scanned. We didn’t see any life forms, as far a we know or could
remember. It seemed like time stopped. My Bluetooth boom box and
phone went silent. My son was camping in the back pasture with
friends and I called him the next day and asked him if they saw
anything on Friday night. He said they saw a bright light, but
didn’t know what it was, except one the friends said he saw a UFO. I
would like to talk to him, but I don’t want to sound crazy. It’s a
small town. I believe there is something in the universe that I
can’t prove, but after Friday, I can now say that I have witnessed
something so close to me that scared the crap out of me. Something
up there was silent and had the baddest f’n light beam ever created.
The US Airforce needs to upgrade the stealth bomber, because this
thing was unreal. [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 181989, Occurred: 2024-06-21 21:15 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-22 02:02 Pacific, Duration: 7-10 seconds, No of
observers: 1 – Military, Location: Los Angeles, CA, USA, Shape:
Formation, Color: White-greyish, Estimated Size: Individual objects
were a bit smaller than a C206, Viewed From: Land, Direction from
Viewer: 310, Angle of Elevation: 70, Closest Distance: 1200ft,
Estimated Speed: 150kts, Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft
nearby. 6 triangular objects overhead, heading west in very tight
formation. Six triangular objects in very close formation (maybe 1/5
of their wingspan apart), coming from roughly direction of Malibu
heading NE, relatively low altitude. The objects appeared
white-grey, no light sources on the objects, but they somewhat
looked like they would be reflecting light with intermittent
strength (which cannot have been ambient so must have been the
objects themselves). Absolutely no sound - at this altitude any
regular aircraft or drone would have been audible as we are very
familiar with them due to the close Santa Monica Airport. Difficult
to tell from my POV, but the whole formation might have been in a
bank, no movement relative to each other or relative to the horizon.
Was able to observe for 7 to maybe almost ten seconds before they
faded into the background in less than a second, almost like an
object fading into the mist - but the skies were clear. [IDFE]

evil. Saturday just before sunset, twilight, 8:20 pm, temp 75
degrees, in Watertown, MA looked out the front 2nd floor window and
saw one flat-black slightly misshapen sphere object with spikes
approaching my house from the North (slightly west of north but not
north northwest). Had spike-like protuberances coming out of a small
rounded car-sized black sphere, not shiny. Had been reading about
UFOs on computer before I glanced up and saw it approaching. Thought
I was looking at the frontal view of an oncoming black helicopter
head- on with its bulb-like cockpit but there was no glass, no
landing gear, no rotor, no tail, and no sound. Looked like a WW2
spiked ship mine. Size of an outstretched hand's thumb-nail.
Moving about 80 mph around 500 feet high. Lower and slower than an
airplane or helicopter, no wings or control surfaces, and no lights.
Larger, different shaped, no propulsion rotors, and silent - so
unlikely a drone. Left no trail. Not a weather balloon; had spikes,
moving fast and steady with zero wind in a gray sky. Seemed solid
metal. Spherical shape was somewhat misshapen with many protruding
black spikes, each differently shaped, not uniform. Flight path was
straight but it meandered slightly, maybe 5% from a straight line,
like it was looking for something. Went over a house two doors down.
I ran to the back of house to get a picture but not in time. Saw it
steadily depart for 15 seconds to the tree line in a south southwest
direction (not direct south) so it had taken a slight turn as it
went over my house. Thing had a bad military vibe to it and seemed
to be intelligently controlled, maybe Ai. Had never before seen a
UFO; now I know what people are talking about when they say they
"know what they saw." There is no ambiguity
possible. Noted a similar sighting from an observer in the nuforc
database from last month when I went to make this report. From a
retired analytical business consultant, two graduate degrees. Happy
to be contacted (by researchers). Have been studying the phenomena
for a few years. Glad I finally saw one, except for the fact that
this changes everything. Was 95% certain of UFO reality (thus
aliens) with the 80-years of massive documentation but am now 100%
certain. [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 182035, Occurred: 2024-06-23 21:40 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-24 14:42 Pacific, Duration: 3 minutes, No of
observers: 2, Location: Lafayette, LA, USA, Shape: Cylinder, Color:
Grey, Estimated Size: 40-50 feet wide, 200 feet long. Viewed From:
Land, Direction from Viewer: Northwest. Angle of Elevation: 45,
Closest Distance: 1000 thousand feet. Estimated Speed: Not moving at
all. Stationary cylinder that quickly disappeared after several
minutes. While jogging at night and heading generally northwest on
Shelly drive, my daughter and I both saw a grey cylinder motionless
in the air. We thought maybe a blimp, but there were no navigation
blinking lights on it. There was no sound coming from it. We thought
maybe an odd cloud or something, but it was very well defined in the
shape of a cylinder, essentially the shape of a commercial aircraft
fuselage without a nose, tail, or wings. We continued jogging and
watching it until we ran beneath some live oak trees. As soon as we
emerged from beneath the tree canopy, the cylinder was gone. When we
returned to the site where we originally saw the shape a few minutes
earlier, there was nothing in the sky. Neither of us were jogging
with a phone/camera so unfortunately we have no pictures. We looked
for social media posts to see anybody else saw anything. Closest we
could find was a Starlink siting in a northern part of the state.
Pictures on those posts did not look like what we saw. Those were
moving objects that made a relatively bright line. What we saw was
stationary and a much wider shape than typical Starlink pictures.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 182116, Occurred: 2024-06-28 22:00 Local,
Reported: 2024-06-30 12:16 Pacific, Duration: 1 Minute, No of
observers: 1, Location: Chatham, MA, USA, Location details: Multiple
Orbs and Blue V or Triangle Shape, Shape: Triangle, Color: Blue then
changed to, Estimated Size: See Video, Viewed From: Land, Direction
from Viewer: 500 feet and at the end less (maybe 150ft), Angle of
Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 150-500 feet, Estimated Speed:
Bursts of fast speed. Vanished to slow and steady, Characteristics:
Lights on object, Changed Colo. Blue Orbs in Triangle or V Shape.
Merge to orange orb. With other swirling lights in the vicinity. I
had been outside since around 9:00pm. Watching the stars come out.
Catching the occasional satellite go by. I typically take my laser
pointer (as I did tonight) and point it straight up. When I know
there are no planes, I blink it 3 times and then hold it for 3
seconds on the third button press. I do this maybe once every 15
minutes or so. I do that for the first hour I go out every time. So
like 4 sets of that. I would say 60%-75% of the time I do this
little ritual I see a white or orange light strobe into a solid
bright light. Then dim a little bit and then begin to move in a
direction close to where I was aiming the laser. Disappears between
10 and 30 seconds after appearing. I stopped with the laser around
10:00pm on this evening I suppose and was just relaxing. My phone
was inside so I am estimating the time. I began to see some high
altitude orange lights. Maybe one or 2 were satellites, but some
were moving then abruptly changing direction. I went inside grabbed
the night time binocular. *Video [IDFE]
NUFORC UFO Sighting 182126, Occurred: 2024-06-29 23:00 Local,
Reported: 2024-07-01 11:37 Pacific, Duration: 10-15 seconds, No of
observers: 10, Location: Eagle Harbor, MI, USA, Location details:
Off the road with a clear view of lake superior, no trees obscuring
the view. Shape: Oval, Color: Orange, Estimated Size: 20 feet,
difficult to tell from distance, Viewed From: Land, Direction from
Viewer: West, Angle of Elevation: 10, Closest Distance: 1-2 miles,
Estimated Speed: 0mph when stationary> faster than a shooting
star. Characteristics: Lights on object, Emitted beams. We saw an
oval/pear shaped craft 1-2 miles away that had an extremely bright
orange light on it. We saw a pear/oval shaped craft that had an
extremely bright orange light on it. The craft was roughly 1-2 miles
away, maybe about 1000 feet above the water. I couldn’t tell the
color of the craft due to the fact that it was night and that the
light was so intensely bright, but the shape was distinguishable due
to the fact the light seemed to illuminate the craft. It was
stationary above the water with the light illuminating the air
between the craft and the water almost like a laser. After 10-15
seconds of aiming the light over the water it strobed up the
shoreline almost like a lighthouse. When it the light hit us the
craft quickly accelerated away, disappearing within 2 seconds. It
did not make any sound and as it began accelerating away. When
beginning to accelerate it almost staggered, kind of jumping back
and forth. *Possible Transmedia craft. [IDFE]
