NMS from NUFORC &
UFO INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY OCT 2024
The following NMS summary of potential sightings of interest is a monthly report filed by Jeremy Haslam, MADAR Project UFO Officer based on data from

NUFORC printout (National UFO Reporting Center). The number of entrys varies from 30-50 each month. This NMS list is then submitted to the MADAR Operations Officer.. 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. Therefore, Non MADAR Sightings (NMS) are entries where MADAR DID NOT go into alert status, but the quality of the nearby sighting suggests that MADAR records be checked for significant spikes in the data short of trigger.

Fran Ridge, the MADAR Operations Officer, receives a copy of the NMS, then goes over each entry and selects incidents that he feels 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 he obtains the latitude and longitude of the sighting in order to generate a registration dot on the MADAR Map to see where the nearest MADAR site is in relation to the event. Based on the quality of the sighting and location he then looks at the magnetometer and compass data for that event datae/time. This NMS shows the status of each case. If anyone has a question regarding any entry pleased send me a private email at

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183328, Occurred: 2024-10-03 19:37 Local, Reported: 2024-10-05 17:10 Pacific, Duration: About 20 seconds, No of observers: 2, Location: Seaside, OR, USA, Location details: 46 N 0'51" N 123 54'41" W, Shape: Triangle, Color: metallic color, gray, Estimated Size: 30'-35' on each side of the triangle, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: South East to North West, directly overhead, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest Distance: 200' overhead, Estimated Speed: 150mph? no idea really. 20s or so to cross, Characteristics: Lights on object. 200' el S-N, approach, 2 bright lights on far points of triangular base, 3rd light, large, convex retreating flying backwards, NO sound. Standing in my back yard at night, I saw a craft, lights in the night sky, approaching over our property from the south. as I watched it get closer, I realized it made no noise whatsoever. I called to my wife who immediately stepped out and we watched in awe of what we were witnessing. 2 bright lights spread about 25-30' apart coming over our property. Our property is within a half mile distance of a small VFR only airport, and regularly we see helicopters and small aircraft land and depart from there and after being here for over 25 years we recognize these. This craft was not close to the airport which is to our east. It followed a straight line from southern horizon to northern horizon. In clear view for about 20 sec. and dead silent! The craft had 2 steady bright lights as it approached on the farthest points of the triangle and as the craft became directly overhead a large 2-3' convex light came into view on the end point of the triangle. Meaning the triangle was moving in a forward motion with the point toward the rear, a bright light now on all three points. The light in the trailing point flashed. This craft made no sound at all. There was no visible fuselage. My Wife mentioned she felt a lifting effect as it traveled over. I felt something as well but thought it was from holding my breath. As we watched and tried to figure out what it was, thinking an airplane, neither of us wanted to run back inside to grab a camera and miss what we were seeing. *Drawing of craft attached.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183332, Occurred: 2024-10-05 20:50 Local, Reported: 2024-10-05 21:15 Pacific, Duration: 15 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: Rockwall, TX, USA, Shape: Cigar, Color: Silver, Estimated Size: Plane, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: From 60° to 240° (east to west), Angle of Elevation: 83, Closest Distance: 10’000’, Estimated Speed: 100 mph. An oddly-shaped metallic object, with no lights on, and no sound, flew overhead at a steady, moderately fast pace, in a straight line. It’s a clear night, perfect for stargazing. A dark (no lights) unidentified flying object just flew over my neighborhood, almost directly above me. My neighborhood is near a lake, 20 miles east of Dallas. I can't tell how high up it was, because I don't know how big it was or how fast it was flying. It must not have been too high for me to be able to see it even though it didn't have any lights turned on. I was only able to see it due to the city’s "light pollution" reflecting off the metallic craft. I'm guessing it was about the size of a blimp. The overall shape would be more similar to a cigar than the other options that were listed, but it had 2 “waists” (imagine 3 beads connected). There were no wings, no visible propellers of any kind, and it didn't make a sound. It flew faster than I've ever seen a blimp fly, but it didn’t appear to be going as fast as a, somewhat lower, plane would appear to be flying. It was flying west, toward the lake (toward Dallas), at a steady pace, and in a straight line. I watched it until I couldn’t see it anymore, which wasn’t for very long, since it didn’t have any visible lights. I’m a 40 year old stargazer, and have never seen anything like this before. My phone was inside the house, and I was in my backyard holding a pet. Otherwise, I definitely would have taken a picture. *Pic of location in sky where craft was sighted.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183345, Occurred: 2024-10-06 16:35 Local, Reported: 2024-10-06 14:57 Pacific, Duration: 2 minutes, No of observers: 3, Location: Blair, NE, USA, Location details: Southeast from my backyard, Shape: Circle, Color: Silver/white, Estimated Size: School bus, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: Southeast, Angle of Elevation: 35, Closest Distance: 1-2 miles, Estimated Speed: Unknown, but extreme speed, Characteristics: Aircraft nearby. My two sons and I were playing football in our backyard when I spotted four flying silver-white orbs when throwing a high football pass. I pointed out the four orbs to my sons. We watched all four move extremely fast in multiple directions, making 90 & 180 maneuvers vertically & horizontally. Our sighting lasted a couple of minutes then the orbs vanished at high speed toward the southeast in the direction of an high altitude airline jet which was also flying southeast at the exact time of our sighting. [MADAR 132 at Omaha, NE had no spikes and 133 at Council Bluff, IA was NOL]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183428, Occurred: 2024-10-07 20:40 Local, Reported: 2024-10-11 15:12 Pacific, Duration: About 10 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: Shelbyville, KY, USA, Shape: Triangle, Color: Grey, Estimated Size: Very large - size of a football field, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: South, Angle of Elevation: 35, Closest Distance: Not far above high treetops, Estimated Speed: Possibly 60 mph, Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object. Greyish, triangular, 3 lights, no sound, extremely fast - A huge, greyish object, triangular in shape, one light on the front and one on each rear point, flying at a level approximately the height of a ten story building, appeared suddenly in the night sky. It moved extremely fast and I heard no sound, but there is a high level of noise pollution where I live. I saw no lights on the bottom. the object moved rapidly in a straight line toward the SE. I saw only one, but subsequently read reports from people in my area who witnessed a similar event. I did some research and learned of a surveillance drone being developed by the Navy that sounds very similar to what I saw. I would estimate the size to be equal to possibly the size of a football field. I am a 67-year-old female, retired, high school education. I retired from State Government working on the Governor's staff. [MADAR site 206 at Louisville, KY was NOL]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183376, Occurred: 2024-10-07 22:40 Local, Reported: 2024-10-08 07:48 Pacific, Duration: 5 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Destin, FL, USA, shape: Chevron, Color: white, Estimated Size: Hundreds of feet, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: It came from the north, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: It was at sky line very high but it was huge, Estimated Speed: As fast as a normal plane would fly. Very large V shaped craft - I stepped out my back porch for a smoke and I look up at amaze at all the stars I can see and I see this very very large craft coming my way looked like a cigar shaped craft I yell inside to get my roommate to come look at it and at this time it is now over the top of us at the top of the sky line. IT WAS HUGE. As we were under it we noticed the V shape craft and watched it fly off into the distance over the ocean. It flew at a consistent speed no lights on it at all. Almost like a double V chevron shape. [No spikes on 195 at Dothan, AL]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183458, Occurred: 2024-10-10 20:45 Local, Reported: 2024-10-14 08:28 Pacific, Duration: 15 seconds, No of observers: 4, Location: Joshua Tree, CA, USA, Location details: Backyard of rental property, Shape: Chevron, Color: Black, multicolor, Estimated Size: The length of a blimp, Viewed From: Land, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest Distance: 1000 ft, possibly more, Estimated Speed: 500mph, Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Color, Electrical or magnetic effects. The ship was otherworldly. It wasn’t just a metal structure, it wasn’t just orbs of light - it looked like it was from a sci-fi movie. I was in the backyard of a rental property swimming in a pool with 2 friends, and 4 other friends were sitting outside of the pool. We were looking up at the sky often since the Aurora was visible that night. At a random moment I looked directly above and saw a craft flying over us. I immediately knew the craft was something foreign, and far beyond any technology we’re aware of. I tried to get my friends’ attention, and the 2 friends in the pool immediately saw it. 1 friend outside the pool saw it too. We all had a moment of speechless shock. I stared as the ship flew from the left side of my field of vision to the right, then disappeared suddenly (before it was out of sight - it didn’t just slowly move out of our field of vision, it went *poof* and disappeared). I’m not great at estimating the elevation, but it was flying lower than a standard plane would. Probably a thousand feet in the air, maybe more. I’d compare it to the height a blimp would fly. The ship itself appeared like three chevron shapes being held closely together by some force, almost like magnetism, but they were NOT connected. Light was glowing and almost bending between the parts. The “wings” of the chevron shapes seemed to be made of 3 separate units on each side. The ship had a transparent aspect to it, seemed to have light bending/leaking in the spaces between the components, and was almost magnifying the stars above it. I am certain that I could see the night sky right through it. The movement of the ship was fast but not extremely fast (not even close to a meteor or anything similar). It probably took 15 seconds to cross my field of vision. It moved very smoothly, almost floating. Again, I’d compare it to a blimp, but a fast moving blimp. There was no visible exhaust, and it was completely silent. If I hadn’t looked up at that moment I would’ve never known it was there. The appearance of the ship was otherworldly. It wasn’t just a metal structure, it wasn’t just orbs of light - it looked like a spacecraft directly out of a sci-fi move. It looked like a shadow in some parts, had fully transparent parts, and was manipulating light in ways I’ve never seen. I saw both white light and multicolored lights. After it disappeared, we took a few seconds to process, and we all were blurting out whatever words we could form. All of us in the pool said the word “three”. The number 3 was very relevant. I believe it appeared to be 3 ships, and the “wings” of the chevron shapes each looked like they were made out of 3 pieces, if that makes sense. The one person who saw it from outside of the pool had a different angle. From in the pool we were looking at the underbelly of the craft and it almost looked two-dimensional. From outside the pool, the person saw three-dimensional shapes, and their drawing reflected that. From their drawing, the ships looked like elongated pyramid shapes. *Drawing attached.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183429, Occurred: 2024-10-10 23:04 Local, Reported: 2024-10-11 15:31 Pacific, Duration: 7 seconds, No of observers: 1 – Pilot, Location: Oak Harbor, WA, USA, Location details: 085 degrees 1 mile from my House's back deck, Shape: Orb, Color: blueish grey, Estimated Size: 50 to 100 feet diameter, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: 085 degrees 1 mile, Angle of Elevation: 40, Closest Distance: 085 degrees 1 mile, Estimated Speed: Orb traveled 20 miles in 7 seconds. Characteristics: Aura or haze around object. I was out looking at the Aurora Borealis and up out of the Dugualla Bay water pops up this Blueish Gray circular Orb. I was out looking at the Aurora Borealis on Thursday night at 23:03:48 PDT on 10/10/2024 / 06:03:48 GMT on 10/11/2024 and up out of the Dugualla Bay water pops up this Blueish Gray circular Orb as seen in pic below and in DropBox video at video time 03:50 through 03:57 — https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/yn0l3vtlshh8wbc3rlf6k/XQE_0045- 3.MOV?rlkey=vs8ohk74a6ndutcxwshq8pvfa&dl=0 The Orb came into view AT THE WATER LINE ELEVATION ADJACENT TO THE TREE 085 degrees/1 mile from my House’s back deck just to the right of my “Hot Spot” two marker trees and to the left of my roof’s gutter, the Orb rose to 100 feet altitude, as seen in the Sky Shot pic below, just above the Red and Green marker buoy lights for the entrance to the the Skagit River 085 degrees/5 miles from my House and continued heading South East to around 10,000 feet altitude where it faded out of sight at 20 miles at 23:03:55 PDT; maximum elevation was 40 degrees. The Orb traveled 20 miles in 7 seconds at a constant speed. The Orb size was approximately 50 to 100 feet in diameter. Weather was clear with traces of the Aurora Borealis fading in and out of view, visibility was 20 miles. This Orb appeared at nearly the same location as my previously reported UAP Orange Orb of 3/18/2024. This Blueish Grey Orb stayed in the same visual presentation throughout its detection time frame and was about 50% dimmer in intensity than the Orange Orb. This Blue Orb did not display the Blue Plasma Halo reported on UAP Orange Orb of 3/18/2024 and did not appear to Depart via a Portal. Nearby MADAR Nodes 47/49/61/268/287/311 did not have a Code Blue UAP Alert during this event. I recorded this video on my hand held SIONYX Aurora Pro IR Color video camera at 60 FPS and 750P resolution. I was using a SIONYX 940 nm IR Illuminator pointing in the same direction as my UAP of 3/18/2024 appeared - South East at 40 degree elevation. This Orb was operating in the NAS Whidbey Island airspace. [Way too much being read into this event]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183422, Occurred: 2024-10-11 14:15 Local, Reported: 2024-10-11 12:09 Pacific, Duration: 30 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: Owings Mills, MD, USA, Location details: Floating over Rt 795 between the Owings mills Blvd exit and the Franklin Blvd exit, Shape: Other, Color: Matte dark grey, Estimated Size: 20ft length. Circumference of basketball, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: North, Angle of Elevation: 62, Closest Distance: 100 feet or more, Estimated Speed: 0 to 2 mph. About 80 feet above the trees right next to the highway I noticed a long grey tube floating. Seen while driving nowhere to pull over. While driving down 795 I noticed a long matte grey tube with a slight curve floating above the trees right next to the highway. Looked about 20 feet long and the about circumference of a basketball. Seamless with rounded ends. Nothing hanging from it or nearby. Looked to be floating in place. I was driving and there was nowhere to pull off due to construction.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183436, Occurred: 2024-10-12 13:30 Local, Reported: 2024-10-12 11:56 Pacific, Duration: 2 minutes, No of observers: 2, Location: Urbana, IL, USA, Shape: Rectangle, Color: Dark gray, Estimated Size: Very large, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: West, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 1 miles. It was hovering then shot up and disappeared. My husband and I were driving from champaign Illinois toward Indiana and my husband said "what is that behind us?"; When I turned around I seen a dark gray rectangle hoovering. We looked at it for about 2 minutes and it just stayed in one place then it started to move upward and then disappeared. [No spikes on nearby nodes 223, 320. 198 was NOL]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183888, Occurred: 2024-10-12 21:00 Local, Reported: 2024-11-07 13:19 Pacific, Duration: 10 seconds, No of observers: 2 – Pilot, Location: Tillamook, OR, USA, Location details: Above vacant lot next door, Shape: Triangle, Color: Black gray silver, Estimated Size: Large pickup truck, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: West, Angle of Elevation: 85, Closest Distance: 200 feet, Estimated Speed: 10 miles per hour, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object. Slow, triangular wing 200 feet overhead - My wife and I were briefly looking at the stars and commenting on the differences between Alaska and Oregon when the object flew almost directly overhead, exactly where we were both focused. The object was wing-shaped and the aura was an effect on its surface/skin that made the object practically invisible. The “aura” effect on the skin was multi-colored and constantly changing in order to hide itself. The colors were black/brown/grey/silver and were not fixed to any one part of the craft, but shimmered over its entirety to cloak it. The object made absolutely no noise. The object was moving slowly and allowed for our eyes to focus on it and talk to each other to confirm that we were definitely seeing something. The wingspan was roughly larger than a large pick-up truck. There were no other features visible to me, but my wife saw circular points underneath the object (these are in her drawing of the object). My wife and I concur on everything we witnessed aside from the circular points underneath the object, which I did not see because I was focused on the shifting aura on the skin. The object was only 200 feet overhead. *Drawing of craft. [Too brief]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183474, Occurred: 2024-10-14 11:30 Local, Reported: 2024-10-15 12:02 Pacific, Duration: They shot by within 3 sec, No of observers: 1, Location: Santa Rosa, CA, USA, Location details: I was laying down looking at my window for my bedroom, the UFO’s plural flew in between two trees. Shape: Chevron, Color: Metal black red edge, Estimated Size: Both about the size of a large school bus, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: I was looking to the north. Angle of Elevation: 40, Closest Distance: Tens of meters from my face, absolutely horrifying, Estimated Speed: About the top speed of commercial jet. very fast. Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Left a trail, Missing Time. I was looking out my bedroom window when I saw two alien looking spacecrafts shoot right by, they were completely silent. On a particularly overcast night, I experienced an encounter that continues to evoke a visceral response within me. I observed two chevron-shaped spacecraft traversing alarmingly close to my window—merely tens of meters away. As I gazed upward at the obscured night sky, admiring the scant few stars that struggled to pierce through the clouds, I suddenly became aware of something extraordinary (and unsettling) drawing my focus. It was so immediate and striking that I could hardly grasp it at first. What rendered this sighting even more fascinating was the fact that the crafts came from the direction of my neighbors’ Buddhist temple to the west. The notion of these enigmatic objects emerging from a site of spiritual significance added a layer of surrealism to the entire episode. The fear I experienced was overwhelming. Chills raced down my spine, and I found myself immobilized, unable to move or avert my gaze. The crafts were of moderate size—perhaps 30 to 35 feet long; however, they appeared immense compared to the aircraft I typically observe in the distance. Their metallic black surfaces gleamed ominously, accented by bright reddish edges that made them resemble something straight out of a science fiction narrative, perhaps akin to a vessel one might encounter in Star Trek. As they soared just above the treetops, I possessed a clear perspective of both the underside and the front of these vehicles (which was astonishing, given their altitude). They traversed at breakneck speed, and I could observe streamers trailing behind them, illustrating their remarkable velocity. To my utter astonishment, they emitted no sound—not a whisper could be heard, aside from the faint rustling of leaves in the breeze surrounding me. After the encounter, I was overtaken by an intense sense of paralysis, leading me to ponder if this was some form of alien interference. The horror of witnessing such an event left me feeling immobilized and bewildered. Although I had pre-existing beliefs in UFOs, I was left grappling with the reality of what I had witnessed. This entire experience compelled me to report it immediately. It was so distinct and so unsettling that I felt an urgent need to document every detail. As I commenced writing down my account, vivid memories surged back, solidifying my conviction that this was undeniably real—not merely a figment of my imagination or a dream. [Too brief]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183480, Occurred: 2024-10-15 19:39 Local, Reported: 2024-10-15 18:13 Pacific, Duration: 2 minutes, No of observers: 2, Location: Stoughton, WI, USA, Location details: Sitting outside with my son, Shape: Cigar, Color: Grey with markings, Estimated Size: Very Large, much bigger than an airplane, Viewed From: Land, Angle of Elevation: 70, Closest Distance: ?? Estimated Speed: Hard to say based on perspective of distance. My son and I were outside. We both saw it clearly, although it was dark and not illuminated no sound no lights direct path over our head. A silent craft without lights cigar shaped almost with a tail markings of a darker color on it, patterned flu silently over our neighborhood, somewhat slowly or very high at the speed of a satellite.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183646, Occurred: 2024-10-19 19:15 Local, Reported: 2024-10-21 00:06 Pacific, Duration: about 15 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Saint Paul, MN, USA, Shape: Diamond, Color: dark, Estimated Size: A lot smaller than the plane, Viewed From: Aircraft, Direction from Viewer: Next to me and I was on the left side of the plane. (Probably north.), Angle of Elevation: 15, Closest Distance: 100 yards next to plane & less than that below us, Estimated Speed: Faster than the plane, Characteristics: Lights on object. Four diamond-shaped craft flew below the plane going the opposite direction of the plane. I had been looking out my window for most of the time since take-off because I am prone to motion sickness if I don't keep track of the horizon, especially during take-off and landing. We seemed to have settled into a relatively straight path, and the lights in the cabin were off. It was dark outside except for the lights off the engine and wings. I continued to look out and could view the engine from my seat (12A). It was foggy below us. Suddenly, a diamond- shaped, dark-colored craft sped past us. It was slightly below and next to the plane, going in the opposite direction. It had nonblinking white and red lights on the top and no visible contrail or exhaust. I was shocked because it seemed to be quite close. I only saw it for two or three seconds before it passed. I continued to stare out the window, grateful we had not had a collision. About 10-20 seconds later, an identical craft passed. It was about the same distance below us as the first one was but closer to the side of the plane. Another 10-20 seconds later, a third craft passed. Again, it looked about the same distance below us but was even closer to the side of the plane compared to the first two. I kept staring out the window, wondering what I should do or say, but it all happened so fast that I decided not to say anything. I didn't want to startle other passengers or have people think I was crazy. About ten minutes passed, and I continued to look out when the fourth one appeared. This time, it was under the plane. I viewed it in the space between the engine and the side of the plane. Everything else about it was the same as the other three. I was shook up but still chose not to say anything. I looked out the window for many more minutes and saw no more of them. (I assume the pilots saw also them and maybe other passengers, but I have no way to verify that.) *Drawing of craft attached.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183662, Occurred: 2024-10-19 23:00 Local, Reported: 2024-10-20 09:40 Pacific, Duration: 2 -3 min, No of observers: 2, Location: Esmont, VA, USA, Location details: Esmont, VA hill top property, Shape: Oval, Color: Orange/Red/white, Estimated Size: Hard to say but significantly bigger than drone, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: First saw to west of house then it hovered on north side of house and departed flying rapidly north, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: Hard to say at first sight from kitchen window 50‘, Estimated Speed: Hovering than disappeared over horizon at speed, Characteristics: Lights on object. Brightly lit aircraft close to house hovered above ground at 40-50 FT then shot off very fast into horizon. Brightly lit aircraft and hard to compute as strange to see and happened quickly- at first thought emergency landing aircraft then thought drone but very large extremely bright lights hard to determine shape exactly and when husband went outside house to get better look it maneuvered quickly around treetops and shot down hillside and rapidly into horizon. Later when in bed we heard a burst of radio like frequency sounds. Called police in AM to report as very close to our home and thought perhaps a police drone but non in area. Whatever it was was very brightly lit and sophisticated and moved very quickly . There was a full moon last night. [Two sites, 213 and 282, no spikes]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183560, Occurred: 2024-10-21 23:00 Local, Reported: 2024-10-24 22:41 Pacific, Duration: Unknown, No of observers: 1 – Military, Location: Mountain Center, CA, USA, Location details: 33.53688, -116.46074, Shape: Oval, Color: White Light, Estimated Size: 20-30 feet in length, 8-10 feet in height, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: East, Angle of Elevation: 18, Closest Distance: 100 yards, Estimated Speed: Stationary, Characteristics: Lights on object, Missing Time. White Light Hovering Over Santa Rosa Mountain - At approximately 11:00pm I was laying in the tarped bed of my truck in the Santa Rosa Mountain Yellow Post campsites at about 7800 foot elevation. I was the only camper/hunter in the area that night and it was pitch black out. Instantly everything (all natural animal/insect noises) went completely silent and the entire area lit up brighter than the brightest full moon I’ve ever seen. But I knew it wasn’t the moon because I had already located the moon prior to that and it was a dimly lit waning gibbous. Thinking a really quiet truck was pulling into the campground with its headlights on, I peeked out from under the tarp and saw a stationary, bright white light, about 20-30 foot in length (about the size of a medium sized helicopter but with the light encompassing the entire object), hovering at tree top level, behind an about 30-40 foot tall pine tree, only about 100 yards away. It made absolutely no noise, didn’t pulsate or move, and did not radiate any sort of heat (it was about 40 degrees Fahrenheit that evening). I observed it for at least a minute before fear took over and I sank back down into the bed of my truck and into my sleeping bag. Therefore I have no idea what it did or where it moved after that. I must’ve fell asleep and didn’t come back out of my sleeping bag until approximately 2:30am, drenched in sweat, at which time it was gone, and everything was pitch black again. I was completely sober and not tired nor sleep deprived at the time of this sighting. I stayed the next night at the same campsite (only because I didn’t recall this incident until 2 days later) and did not experience any further bright lights. I’m no expert tracker, but I did not notice any out of the ordinary tracks or signs in the vicinity of the sighting over the next two days. I’ve backpacked/hunted the backcountry routinely for the past 15 years, spent over 25 years in the military, and I’ve never experienced anything like this before.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183577, Occurred: 2024-10-22 19:40 Local, Reported: 2024-10-24 05:29 Pacific, Duration: About 15 minutes, No of observers: 4, Location: Hebron, MD, USA, Location details: Over residential neighborhood in rural area, Shape: Changing, Color: White lights, Estimated Size: Looked unusually big, Viewed From: Land, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest Distance: Not sure it felt somewhat low, almost bird flight, Estimated Speed: Slow, deliberate speed at first, like gliding in, Characteristics: Lights on object, Animals reacted. Over residential neighborhood in rural area, we observed an enormous flying object in the sky. It was completely silent and glided smoothly and slowly in the shape of a boomerang. Initially, I mistook it for a plane accompanied by smaller planes, two on each side, flying in formation. However, they were unusually close together and flew in a slow, almost purposefull manner without making any sound. They moved in perfect synchrony and the object had a peculiar outline, resembling a transparent boomerang ring with lights inside. It flew directly above us and then curved towards the park. I ran home to retrieve my camera to record the phenomenon and call on my husband to witness it. By that time, the object had transformed its shape, and the lights were blinking, forming a perfect triangle. Subsequently, they dispersed in different directions and then back to triangle again. I managed to record a video of the lights appearing in various locations. I certainly know that other people in town saw that too who described it similar to what I described - boomerang shaped, big, silent and etc.. *Pics attached.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 183521, Occurred: 2024-10-26 03:15 Local, Reported: 2024-10-26 14:38 Pacific, Duration: 45 minutes, No of observers: 4 – Pilot, Location: Minneapolis, MN, USA, Location details: Flying East to Toronto from Las Vegas, South of Minneapolis, Shape: Light, Color: White, Estimated Size: Unknown, Viewed From: Aircraft, Direction from Viewer: East — along our flight path to Toronto, Angle of Elevation: 20, Closest Distance: In the distance, ahead of us, a few 100 KMs, Estimated Speed: Unknown, Characteristics: Lights on object. White Lights Moving Strangely in the Sky - We were flying from Las Vegas to Toronto on WS 1119. While we were flying south of Minneapolis, our pilots noticed strange lights flying around directly ahead of us. I, as a flight attendant, went up to the flight deck to check it out. While I was in the flight deck, we all witnessed this strange phenomenon. There were objects in the sky that would shine brightly and fade out only to then reappear in a different spot in the sky. The colour they would shine was dim white to very, very bright white. At times, they would disappear completely and come back in a different spot. There were up to four objects. They were flying around: up, down, around one another.. They formed a triangle at one point. They chased each other at times. We used a star ahead of us as a marker where the activity was. The star, obviously didn’t move, but the objects were moving and flying around. We thought it could be satellites but there was no predictable pattern to their movement. We estimated that they were flying much higher than us and definitely at a much higher altitude than a commercial aircraft could fly. We were basically flying at top altitude of Boeing’s 737- 800. Other pilots in the area also noticed the lights as we communicated with them on a radio frequency. I, myself, was in the flight deck for about twenty minutes and they were very active during this time. My colleague also went to view this phenomenon and he witnessed the activity as well. People who witnessed this: WS 1119 x two pilots, WS 1119 x two flight attendants, and other airline pilots in the area. As it was dark, we could not take a video. Instead we took photos one after the other. When scrolling through the photos in sequence, you can see the movement of these bright lights. Th captain used his DSLR camera to take photos, which he scrolled through, and we filmed on iPhone. *Video of objects and Cockpit instrument panel photo.
