NMS SUMMARY - FEB 2025
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

CMS - A case investigated by MUFON has a case management system number and investigation findings.
IDFE - Insufficient Data For Evaluation
NOL - indicates the MADAR site was Not On Line at the time of the incident. =====================================================================================

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187510, Occurred: 2025-02-02 18:34 Local, Reported: 2025-02-04 21:13 Pacific, Duration: 15 minutes or more, No of observers: 1, Location: Saint Stephens, AL, USA, Location details: This was at out hunting camp Off Mobile Cutt off road in St Stephens Alabama area. stoker road area, Shape: Cylinder, Color: Brightest white, Estimated Size: 30-50 free, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: Initially NNW under moon then SSW from me then N, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 1000 yards, Estimated Speed: Unknown, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object. Strange bright light with vertical cylinder with smaller 45 degree pole sticking out in bright light. I forgot some of my hunting supplies at our large field number five. I went to retrieve these items when I noticed a very unusual very, very bright light underneath the crescent moon. I thought initially this might be Venus or something of that nature, but then I saw it very distinctly start vibrating and moving. It was directly NNW of this field, which is elevated and has a completely unbated skyline. I took several videos and photographs here and tried to coax the item on landing or coming closer. (This field was at one time, an old Indian village, and after that was one of the first settlements in Alabama with the of the old Mill pond still being there. At one point in time, I thought I was going to be successful as it swooped down and hovered right above tree tops and I was able to get a good look at it. Next it slowly went back to the original position. It looked like a vertical cylinder and extremely bright orb with a hitch or 45° pole sitting out of it, which was not captured in any of the videos. To be completely frank it also somewhat look like an angelic figure with the notch of the wing being seen staring down at me. After maybe 8 to 10 minutes of this, I decided it wasn’t going to do anything so I went to my next field to put out a few a bag of corn. When I got to the rear of my vehicle and opened the hatch to get out the bag of corn, I very quickly noticed the flashing light between the trees. It was clearly moving as you could see it a different positions along the tree. I took a photograph of this, but I did not catch it when it was moving. What’s important to note from here is if this field does not have any view of the northwest sky and you cannot see the moon from this location at all yet this object was visible, moving along the south-southwest pattern through the trees and almost looking like it may be just on the other side of the tree maybe a few hundred feet above the ground. I have zero doubt that it followed me here. This location gives me the creeps a little bit, so I dropped the bag in the designated area and proceeded to a location right off of Stoker Road where we had another field and you have a huge skyline as they recently clearcut this area. Once I got to this area, I could again locate the object and it did seem occasionally to move back and forth, but it never really came in close to me. However, as I stood there watching this object, I noticed multiple star-like objects, blinking in and out all over the Night Sky. this started happening at a ridiculous level. They were doing this so fast that I really could not get them to photograph and didn’t even try, but I have seen similar objects and TicTac‘s in this identical area. (and have other video and reported sightings). Then maybe a few hundred feet directly over my head a shooting star-like object appeared and left a contrail very quickly. It may have been a random shooting star, but the timing of it was very suspicious and it seemed to me. They were just saying we see you. This isn't my first sighting, this started when I was 7. Until last few years almost all my encounters have had multiple witnesses. I am almost 60. I almost died in 2023 of an extremely rare bacteria infection after recovery from a rare cancer. Since that time UAPs or my “Little buddies” are a regular occurance. I have seen orbs, tic tacks and other UAPs in this area over half a dozen times at least. I have about dozen videos and pics from this incident. Its very repeatable for me at this location. *Pics [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187418, Occurred: 2025-02-02 20:27 Local, Reported: 2025-02-02 17:30 Pacific, Duration: 3 mins, No of observers: 2, Location: Welcome, NC, USA, Location details: Passed toms 4 wheel drive, Shape: Circle, Color: Dark with lights, Estimated Size: 20-30 feet long, Viewed From: Land, Angle of Elevation: 39, Closest Distance: 1500 feet, Estimated Speed: 30-50, Characteristics: Lights on object, Driving a door dash we saw a saucer with flashing lights moving very slow. Moved horizontal at a pace of a helicopter at 8:22. As I was delivering a doordash saw a circular flashing light in the sky that moved at a horizontal pace. It was at not more than 2000 elevation. I could not find the saucer after delivery the food 3 mins later. Seen in Welcome NC toward the direction of Midway NC. *Pic [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187449, Occurred: 2025-02-03 12:00 Local, Reported: 2025-02-03 19:55 Pacific, Duration: 2 or 3 mins, No of observers: 1, Location: Phoenix, AZ, USA, Location details: Near Deer Valley Airport and Phoenix FBI building, Shape: Diamond, Color: Blue, Estimated Size: large size SUV, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: Northwest, Angle of Elevation: 40, Closest Distance: somewhere around 1000+ yards, Estimated Speed: Zero, Characteristics: Changed Color, Aircraft nearby. Blue diamond shaped object, staying very still in one spot. Very visible, reflecting sun from one of its surfaces. I work in the area and always take a lunch break at noon, there's an airport near by and as an enthusiast of flying and aircraft, I often look up at the aircraft that are taking off. As I looked up at the passing plane, I noticed a dot in the sky just past the aircraft that was standing very still. My eyes automatically refocused on the object and I started picking up details. It was an object kind of diamond but prolong oval shape, had flat sides to it. During this time of the year, we get hot air balloons in the sky and I know how they look and behave. However, this was not a hot air balloon, it stayed very steady against the moving light clouds that were moving eastward with the wind. It probably was no more than 400ft altitude or even lower as the planes that were taking off were just below it. It had a weird rotation to it...it would spin vertically about half way for a few seconds, then spin back to previous position, then repeat same spin...never a full rotation. Whenever it would rotate, it would catch the reflection of the sun, perfectly in my direction and I would see a very true blue light coming off from the object for a few seconds before it would rotate and the reflection would stop, then happen again. It was really interesting, like trying to grab my attention and also very pretty, but unnatural looking. Lost sight of it after about 3 mins as I kept walking and looking back at the object...hope it returns, would love to see it again. Btw, right by my work there's an FBI building, im wondering in anyone other than me caught something in the area or someone from the ATC of the airport. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187463, Occurred: 2025-02-04 05:15 Local, Reported: 2025-02-04 05:34 Pacific, Duration: 1.5 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Long Beach, WA, USA, Location details: Northwest of my house, Shape: Cylinder, Color: Glowing, Estimated Size: Have no idea, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: Northwest, Angle of Elevation: 61, Closest Distance: May be a few miles, Estimated Speed: A heck of a lot faster than anything I’ve ever see, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Left a trail. Glowing craft no sound - I saw a glowing craft with light shining down I think on the Pacific Ocean. And then it shot up really fast, and then moved South so fast it left a light-trail. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187532, Occurred: 2025-02-05 19:40 Local, Reported: 2025-02-06 06:27 Pacific, Duration: 30-45 seconds, No of observers: 1 – Military, Location: Jefferson, GA, USA, Shape: Light, Color: White, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: NW, Angle of Elevation: 35. Hovering light that accelerated disappeared within seconds - While driving northwest I saw a steady white light above the treeline and thought it was streetlight. As my vehicle came to a stop I realized it was too high to be a street light or a light in a tree. I thought it could be a helicopter, drone or very slow moving aircraft but no green or blinking red light was observed. I rolled the window down to see if I could hear the sound of a helicopter but couldn't hear anything. As I made a right turn the light dimmed and I saw extremely faint red light slightly beneath the now dim white light. I began thinking it was helicopter with a searchlight pointed in my direction. About 10-15 seconds later the light brightened back to what it's original level was and began moving at extreme speed to the west. The light was out of sight in just a few seconds. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187557, Occurred: 2025-02-06 20:45 Local, Reported: 2025-02-06 20:07 Pacific, Duration: Momentary, No of observers: 1, Location: Ogallala, NE, USA, Shape: Circle, Viewed From: Aircraft.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187582, Occurred: 2025-02-07 18:23 Local, Reported: 2025-02-07 23:55 Pacific, Duration: 5 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: West Valley City, UT, USA, Shape: Triangle, Color: Black city lights, Estimated Size: Larger than a airplane, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: 311 degree northwest, Angle of Elevation: 34, Closest Distance: 1000 ft, Estimated Speed: No idea, Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound. I just woke up! And I usually see outside my windows when I wake up and I saw this triangular prism shaped craft above the trees. On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 6:23 PM, I woke up and, as part of my routine, looked outside my window. The view from my place is beautiful, and I often look up at the sky. Over the past few days, I had noticed a bright white orb at a distance, resembling a star. However, the following day, it had disappeared. Tonight, when I woke up, I heard an unusual sound that caught my attention. As I looked up, I saw a triangular-shaped prism-like spacecraft moving towards the left side of my house, which I estimate was heading in the direction of a Starbucks nearby. This unidentified flying object (UFO) appeared to have a city-like structure inside it, as I could see glittering lights resembling a downtown skyline at night. The entire sighting lasted approximately 4.5 seconds before the craft disappeared. I attempted to take a photo or video but could not react quickly enough to capture any footage. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187674, Occurred: 2025-02-07 23:48 Local, Reported: 2025-02-12 10:47 Pacific, Duration: 5 sec, No of observers: 1, Location: New York, NY, USA, Location details: 495 at Horseblock rd, Shape: Disk, Color: Unknown, Estimated Size: 200 ft long/wide, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: West, Angle of Elevation: 89, Closest Distance: Approximately 1/4 mile, Estimated Speed: 100mph +, Characteristics: Lights on object. I was heading west on 495, craft was headed north then swooped back around and headed back south. I was driving west on Rt 495. As I approached exit 65 ( Horseblock rd) in the darkness, you can see a large, disk like object headed north in front of me then swooped back around heading south. As it accelerated south you can see lights on edge of craft. I did have dashcam on at the time. As this happened, you can hear me say, " what was that"?. NUFORC Note: Video: Craft is at 1:30 time mark [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187626, Occurred: 2025-02-08 19:30 Local, Reported: 2025-02-10 06:08 Pacific, Duration: 5 minutes, No of observers: 2, Location: Weaverville, NC, USA, Location details: Drive way, Shape: Orb, Color: White light, Estimated Size: Commercial Jet, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: East, Angle of Elevation: 75, Closest Distance: 15000, Estimated Speed: 400 mph, Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby. Multiple craft seen flying over. Some in formation others at random elevation. Got out of my vehicle and looked up to look at moon and and saw numerous craft in the sky fly from East to West. Many around the same elevation as commercial jets and the rest at varying higher elevations. I'm use to see commercial craft making their turn to land at Asheville Regional Airport, or heading to Charlotte. These had no blinking lights, but were very bright. Could not make out the shape, but appeared to be same size as commercial airliners. Some were in triangle formation and some were side by side. Made zero sound. I could see occasional commercial jets flying east, around the same elevation, with blinking lights, but they made noise. These objects were flying around the same speed as the commercial jets, with the ones at higher elevation flying a bit faster. I have never seen that many aircraft in the sky, so close, ever before. Even late at night if fighter jets fly over, way up, you can hear their sound a minute, or so, later. These craft continued to fly over for a period of about 5 minutes, nonstop. The majority were bright orbs. Even after I went inside to get my wife to come see, she was able to count around 10, while I witnessed around 20 before getting her. After about 5 minutes, clouds moved in at that was it. These maintained same altitude, and I would say around 10000 to 15000 feet. Possible secret military aircraft. Possibly drones. But if I saw that many airplanes in the sky at one time, it would have been loud. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187650, Occurred: 2025-02-10 18:15 Local, Reported: 2025-02-11 06:51 Pacific, Duration: 3-5 seconds, No of observers: 1 – Military, Location: Southern Pines, NC, USA, Location details: Midland rd.

Above the trees, Shape: Orb, Color: White, Estimated Size: Not very big, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: N/ NE, Angle of Elevation: 68, Closest Distance: 200 ft, Estimated Speed: Still to unimaginable. Saw the 3 orbs just above the trees shot off at an extremely high rate of speed in succession. Spotted three white orbs about 50 ft above the trees while I was driving. Almost immediately in succession from left to right the orbs accelerated away one by one at extreme speeds. The whole event lasted maybe 5 seconds. [Not compelling]

We then noticed that the object had three lights underneath, in a triangular formation. The object was about 30 feet in diameter and was traveling west. The object was not a plane and was also not a drone. [Not compelling]

I saw lights in the sky while driving - I saw a UFO in the clear night sky last night. I was driving eastbound on 259th st approaching 29th ave around 9:30pm. At about 30deg off the horizon I saw two bright flame green lights close together like “taillights". They appeared then sped away and disappeared in less than a second. I was impossible to judge the distance away from me, but within a 1/2 mile would be my guess. [Not compelling]

Craft was triangle shape with 6 lights in total seen on ex9t 3 of 93 north. 2 lights on each triangle point. Had a metallic blueish hue underneath. Height in air was low. Maybe a 1000 feet but that is a guess. We saw for a good 7 or 8 seconds, had to turn on 111 east and lost it. We pulled into park and ride off 111 and still could not locate. My kids were freaked out,l and cried, said it was scariest thing they had seen in life. [Checking]

My thumb fully covered the object, Estimated Speed: Unk, Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Changed Color. A person on our local community page posted about seeing a UAP, so I went out to see if I could spot anything. South of Venus, and below Jupiter I saw a pulsating orb of lights in between the branches of a tree. When I zoomed in with my camera I could see that it was rotating. It was bright, brighter than 0 mag. I could not tell distance or size. I got a decent 18 second video before it started moving to the Southeast. Husband and I hopped in our car to see of we could get a better view. We were at a red light and watched the UAP speed up slightly, turn 90 deg and head due north. We the lost sight or it behind the trees and buildings at that point. *Video [Not compelling]

I saw a white disc hovering at about 1500 ft above Crossroads Mall in bellevue, Thought it was a hoax drone or something, it was a ufo. I pointed up at the craft and another guy was looking at it with me. He said, "Look there is a rust colored halo force field around it" we both looked together. Then the convincing part of the event happened, he said , "oh my god my vision is blocked out and all I can see are floating cellular orbs of light and flashes of lightning." Just as he said this I was experiencing the same visual phenomenon. I looked up and I could see nothing but a yellowish plasma teeming with cellular orbs and horizontal flashes of lightning. We both were physically scared. I went back to baseline consciousness. The craft rose out of sight. It looked like a living entity with conscious awareness that it was being viewed. It seemed that the force field was spherical and had something to do with its propulsion. The white disc looked as if was floating inside of the sphere of rust plasma. Never have I seen or experienced anything like this before. I also had a bad headache with swollen lymph nodes for 24 hours. [Not compelling]

I thought this was a shooting star. At first it was traveling almost straight up and I was amazed, but it stopped. The light was so incredibly bright. This object darted left, approximately 3 miles in a class C airspace (450ish AGL) then right to the prior location. This happened 4 times then darted to 700ish AGL and back to the precious position.. I know these levels are within 500 AGL tops because I’ve flown this area and distance). Also. The light never moved or diminished. On a Z axis this light pans. There are zero nav lights.

A metallic disc was hovering above the lake - Me and my wife were sitting by the parking lot near the cemetery when all of the sudden we saw a big metallic disc looking object hovering probably 500 feet above the lake. The bottom of it was glowing, ember colored. My wife and I were frozen in awe. It stood still hovering for almost 3 minutes then shot up into the sky in an instant. It was almost 20 feet in diameter. It had almost a hypnotizing effect on us and felt like it felt our presence, as we were unable to reach for our phones. It was a surreal experience and I am now a believer.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187914, Occurred: 2025-02-21 21:58 Local, Reported: 2025-02-23 18:05 Pacific, Duration: 5-6 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Springfield, MO, USA, Shape: Rectangle, Color: Dark grey to black, Estimated Size: 8-10’ wide by 20-22’ long (not sure on height), Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: Closest view was directly to the east, Angle of Elevation: 35, Closest Distance: 250-300’, Estimated Speed: Varied from stationary to 55-60mph, Characteristics: Lights on object, 200-250’ in altitude, no sound. I had flown into SGF from ORD which I do 1-2’s per month at the same time and same day. I had left the airport and was 5 minutes in when I noticed what I thought was a life flight helicopter due to the altitude and bright white lights on the belly. It was traveling NE as I was traveling south at a slow rate of speed (10-20 MPH) as it crossed in front of me it slowed to a near stop over a warehouse just north of the 1st Baptist Church of Brookline. When I got close I slowed and rolled my drivers side window down to get a better view and couldn’t process what I was looking at. I fly a drone often, travel often for work (4-8 flights a month) and have driven well over a million miles and never seen anything like this. I called my son and took the shoulder then made a u-turn in an attempt to get a video of it. As soon as I made the u-turn it sped up to approx. 50-60 MPH and continued to travel NE within a mile of the airport without gaining any altitude. [Two MADAR sites real close and west but no spikes]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187940, Occurred: 2025-02-24 18:35 Local, Reported: 2025-02-25 07:10 Pacific, Duration: 40 seconds, No of observers: 2, Location: Huntington, NY, USA, Shape: Orb, Color: bright warm white, Estimated Size: uncertain - car sized? Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: NW, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 500-1000ft, Estimated Speed: uncertain - matched helicopter speed. Characteristics: Aircraft nearby. Blackhawk helicopter (later confirmed with public flight data) pursuing a brilliant white orb. Based on the sort of things I had read about the "drone" incidents a few months back, my sense is that this sighting of mine is related. There was nothing exactly cinematic about what I saw, nothing flamboyantly UFO-esque... but what I saw was absolutely uncanny and singular in my experience. I have no theories as to what it was that I saw...After posting this account on reddit, a user was able to find the helicopter's flight data on a publicly accessible tracking website. That flight path is seen here at this link: https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae6c6f&lat=40.905&lon=- 73.406&zoom=11.7&showTrace=2025-02-24 At around 6:35pm I heard an unusually disruptive helicopter sound through closed windows while eating dinner with my wife and kids. I went outside to the back porch and, a few seconds later, saw what seemed to undoubtedly be a helicopter (judging by the rotor sounds) and red blinking lights. Nothing unusual just yet. Now, the first few seconds that I was out there, I could hear it, but it was visually obstructed by the row of 70ft pine trees that line the back edge of my backyard. I mention only to help give you the same sense of its height in the sky and its distance from me that I got being there, familiar with my surroundings. The line of trees was approximately 60 yards back from where I was standing. It was flying west to east over my yard and had just visually crested the row of trees that line the back edge of my backyard. The helicopter was considerably higher than the tops of those trees, but not nearly as high as the airplanes that typically fly around here. It seemed more like 'news-camera helicopter' or 'suburban police helicopter' height if there is such a thing. I'm a layperson, but this seemed like a typical low (but not blowing the trees around low) helicopter height. I watched for 3-5 seconds as the helicopter proceeded in a straight line overhead. By the time the helicopter was about halfway (from my perspective) across the sky above my yard (having visually come from behind that line of pines initially, and now 1/2 of the way towards my house in the sky), I had a basic sense of the helicopters relative distance/height/size and I was not particularly interested in what I saw. It was not remarkable - just a helicopter. But here's where it got weird and why my sense of where this thing was in the sky became cemented in my mind...After the first few seconds of watching the helicopter alone move across the sky over my yard, an extremely bright, warm white ball of light suddenly lit up at what seemed to be 10-15 (helicopter) lengths out, directly in front of the helicopter and in the direction of its flight path. I am certain, based on my sense of the sky in that moment, the height of the helicopter, speed of its transit across my yard up to that point, and the distance between it and the sudden light out front, that the source of the white light was a separate object... and that the helicopter was pursuing this object. Despite the mundane description (helicopter in night sky and a white light), it was quite shocking to witness. I let out a scream of sorts and stood slack jawed until my elementary aged son came running out to see. He saw it for a few seconds before the procession moved out of view over my house (which we were still standing right next to). After an excited moment of explaining what we saw to my wife, who had stayed at the table with my daughter, my son realized we should go to the front of the house to see where it went and if we could still see it. We ran through the house and out onto our driveway and were able to catch the last few seconds of the transit of these two objects before they were obstructed by the trees across the street. The white ball of light was still illuminated. It was much brighter and larger than other lights I've seen on planes etc. It was a different quality and it was on its own. It almost seemed like a ball of light and not like a spot light or directional light if that makes any sense. The light itself was remarkable. Seeing it followed by a helicopter was wild. But the thing that was so striking was that it was totally unlit, invisible in the sky until just a few seconds after I came outside and started looking up…. And then WHAM! So wild. I'd say that I was able to see both objects together for a total of 10 seconds split between the time it first lit up in the backyard and then the last few moments on the other side of the house. A few more seconds in the backyard and totally unobstructed and then a few more seconds in the front where it was already only partially visible. Angle of elevation varied as it flew over head.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187953, Occurred: 2025-02-24 22:20 Local, Reported: 2025-02-25 18:57 Pacific, Duration: 1 minute or less, No of observers: 1, Location: Lake Waccamaw, NC, USA, Shape: Triangle, Color: Grey/Black, Estimated Size: Bigger than a commercial airplane, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: 90 degrees East, Angle of Elevation: 86, Closest Distance: Lower than an airplane. Not sure. Estimated Speed: It was only in my view for about a minute or two, Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound. Triangular aircraft with dim lights slowly moving and obscuring my view - It was a clear night sky with high visibility of the stars. I was stargazing in my backyard with all the outdoor lights turned off and noticed a single dark grey/black triangular aircraft that moved above me obscuring my view of the stars as it passed above. It emitted a low humming sound and had several dim lights. It moved roughly E to SE and much lower than the airplanes I observed before seeing this aircraft. It moved slowly but when it was closer to the SE I lost sight of it as it disappeared from my view. [IDFE]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187972, Occurred: 2025-02-26 06:55 Local, Reported: 2025-02-26 15:38 Pacific, Duration: 25-30 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Pennsboro, WV, USA, Location details: interstate Rt.50, Shape: Chevron, Color: silver or metallic, Estimated Size: 40x60, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: forward, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 50-60 yards, Estimated Speed: unknown, Characteristics: Lights on object. Chevron shaped craft rising out of a valley with a flowing creek - I was driving to work around 6:55am when I saw a Chevron or triangular craft raise out of a valley. The craft emitted no sound and moved very slowly and gently. I stopped in the roadway due to its close proximity to the lanes. it slowly turned and with what I assume is the front of the craft pointing west bound. It stayed hovering for approximately 10 minutes before shooting upwards and and then traveling westward at a speed so high it was out of sight within minutes. I tried to follow it but was unable to match speed and direction.  [No spikes at Cambridge, OH site to NW]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187970, Occurred: 2025-02-26 11:45 Local, Reported: 2025-02-26 13:26 Pacific, Duration: About 60-75 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: Prescott Valley, AZ, USA, Location details: I was in a local neighborhood park that overlooks an open prairie grass field. Shape: Sphere, Color: Black & silver metal, Estimated Size: Each orb was about 30 inches across, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: I was facing North, so I was south of the group, Angle of Elevation: 60, Closest Distance: Maybe 100 feet, Estimated Speed: 8-10 mph, Characteristics: Aircraft nearby. I was walking & noticed a group of 5 orbs moving in a line, I stopped and watched. I was walking in a local park and noticed a group of 5 small orbs (about the size of a beach ball each) moving in an angled line. I thought they were birds until they got closer. The orbs were dark like matte black on the underside and a metal like silver on top and they did not make any type of sound. As they were moving together, they were shaking so they were reflecting the sunlight when the tops were tipped towards the sun. That’s what made me look closer. I watched them pass me about 100 feet above me as they moved west about half a mile before making a 90-degree right turn towards the north. They moved maybe 25 feet in that direction and then turned right again to face east so they were moving back towards me. When they got a little past me, they made a left turn towards the north and then shot off real fast and were gone withing a second or two. I watched the group the entire time, except for when I turned to look to see if there was anyone else in the park seeing this, then turned back to watching the group. Besides the side to side shaking the orbs never broke from the line they were in. There was one other person in the park, but he was looking at his phone and told me he hadn't noticed the group. Within minutes a Cessna style prop plane flew in from the same direction, made a similar right turn and then a second right turn but then headed south. With in maybe 10 minutes I noticed 3 jets, I can't say if they were military or private, at a very high altitude circling the area but they went off in different directions. I do live near a small regional airport so the planes may have all been a coincidence. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 187985, Occurred: 2025-02-26 20:10 Local, Reported: 2025-02-26 22:14 Pacific, Duration: 3-5 min, No of observers: 1, Location: Copalis Beach, WA, USA, Location details: See above, Shape: Triangle, Color: Black? It was night, Estimated Size: 100-150 ft across, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: 50-100 feet above me, Angle of Elevation: 90, Closest Distance: 50-100 feet, Estimated Speed: 20 mph, Characteristics: Lights on object. I'm guessing approximately 100 foot triangle, silent, stationary, and then slowly moving over me in my car just above the tree tops. Sometime shortly after 8pm I was driving home on Copalis Beach Rd. in Copalis Beach, Washington just 10 minutes south of Route 109. I had been following a flashing light in the sky for a few miles and it struck me that it was flashing because white airplane lights do not flash. The flashing was rhythmic and predictable. When I finally caught up to it, it went from stationary thus far to slowly moving over me in my car on the road as I passed under it. It was utterly silent. I had my windows down and it had lights outlining the shape of the triangle underneath that were also white. I took no time to stop and take pictures. I got the heck out of there. It scared me.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 188012, Occurred: 2025-02-28 05:55 Local, Reported: 2025-02-28 07:46 Pacific, Duration: 10-15 seconds, No of observers: 1, Location: Lake City, FL, USA, Location details: It came over the trees from the east over the treeline from Lulu, fl and flew west over chs school. Shape: Egg, Color: Black, Estimated Size: Two door car, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: It flew from the east horizon directy over my house to the west treeline, Angle of Elevation: 45, Closest Distance: 400 ft, Estimated Speed: 100 mph start - 1000 mph finish, Characteristics: Left a trail. Silent, low and slow flying, quickly sped up and left a small trail. No lights emitting. This morning, at precisely 5:55 AM, I stepped outside to let my dogs out. I exited through the front door, which faces east toward Jacksonville, Florida. As I waited, I noticed an object moving above the treeline from the east. At first glance, it resembled a shooting star, but I quickly ruled that out due to its low altitude and relatively slow speed. The object was only a few hundred feet above the ground and emitted no lights. However, I could faintly discern its outline—it appeared to be roughly the size of a two-door car and had a distinct tic-tac shape. Midway across the sky, the object suddenly accelerated at an extraordinary rate, continuing westward until it disappeared beyond the treeline. Notably, it had no visible wings. My best estimation is that it could have been an advanced unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone. Interestingly, the object left behind a single trail as it moved, though the trail dissipated quickly. Typically, such trails form at high altitudes in the upper atmosphere, yet this object was flying at a much lower elevation—only a few hundred feet above the ground. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 188020, Occurred: 2025-02-28 17:05 Local – Approximate, Reported: 2025-02-28 17:39 Pacific, Duration: About 2 to 3 minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Davenport, FL, USA, Location details: Just south of city hall in the sky. Shape: Disk, Color: Silver almost white, Estimated Size: Not sure. Maybe 30’. Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: South, Angle of Elevation: 75, Closest Distance: Bad at judging distance. High above tree line. Estimated Speed: Slow almost floating across the sky. Saw two disks shaped objects flying side by side. It was approximately 5:05 pm. My husband picks me up every day and we were walking to the vehicle after work and got in the passenger side and he went to the driver side. I reached behind me to get the seatbelt and that’s when I saw two bright silver almost white disk shaped objects in the sky high above the tree line. They were flying together side by side. At first I thought they were helicopters but then I noticed that they didn’t have the “tail” part. As they came across, that’s when I noticed that they were both disk shaped and just “floated” across the sky side by side then they disappeared. By the time my husband got around to see, they were gone. There was no noise and I didn’t notice any lights. [Not compelling]

NUFORC UFO Sighting 188056, Occurred: 2025-02-28 20:55 Local, Reported: 2025-03-02 12:57 Pacific, Duration: 2minutes, No of observers: 1, Location: Elmira, OR, USA, Location details: Residential area, Shape: Circle, Color: Gray, Estimated Size: 30 feet diameter, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: North, Angle of Elevation: 60, Closest Distance: 1000 yards, Estimated Speed: 30 mph, Characteristics: Lights on object, Made a sound. Heard a rumbling engine went out to see a saucer type aircraft that had two blinking red lights and a yellow light. It sounds like a very deep growling engine. Loud enough to get me out of my shop. I looked up and saw a gray well lit saucer type aircraft with a large rectangular door maybe with two blinking lights above the door as I watched it. It hovered as if it was knowing that I was there. After a few seconds, as it was traveling away from me, I remembered to pull out my phone and take a video. The video is just the lights of the aircraft flying north of my location. [Not compelling]
