Three objects low to ground. At 8:15 pm EST the witness was
standing outside smoking a cigarette while looking up at the
sky. Two objects that were cube shaped but seemed to have
rotating pieces off of the sides flew over his backyard. Right
behind the two objects came a 3rd that seemed like it was slower
than the other two but still very fast. He was not sure how fast
they were going but it would have been about the same speed as a
bird. They all three disappeared over his neighbor's house. The
objects could not have been more than 50 feet higher than his
two-story home. They looked like they were metal but had a weird
reflective iridescent color to them with a low light haze
surrounding the objects. There was no noise emitting from the
objects.

January 13, 2025; Rocklin, California
On that Sunday afternoon, at around 3:55 pm Pacific Standard
Time, the MADAR site coordinator for Node 245 had gone outside
to take care of a chore. Operating at Level-II Dev R admits her
mind was on her MADAR unit so what happened next was quite
shocking. She just happened to look up and saw a white
cylindrical object in the north-northwest high in the sky about
60 degrees AGL. It looked like a “tic-tac”, apparently had no
wings, no windows, and had no observable insignia. She had no
idea how far away it had been or how fast it was moving, but it
was headed east. She did note that it was apparently the size of
an aspiran at arm's length. If she had had more time and the
object had been closer there would have been no controversy, so
she simply had to brush it off as an airplane. She hadn't
recalled hearing any noise. And, unfortunately, she didn't have
her cell phone with her. Even if she had, there wasn't enough
time to get a photo of the object, the thing was only visible
about 5 seconds. She went back inside. Once inside, her cohort
told her that the MADAR unit had triggered.

January 17, 2025; Gresham (not Conway as reported), South
Carolina
The male witness said he was walking down the street around 4 AM
with headphones on listening to music. It was very windy. He
said he felt a presence, didn’t know why, looked up and slightly
above a house on right side and then close to the ground about
5-6 feet from him, about 14 feet off of the ground, the size of
a SUV, he reported what looked like a large egg. It was a
silver, almost translucent, light inside radiating like a slow
heart beat. The light was dim with no lights on the outside. He
was very confident about something being inside it and not
otherwise controlled, felt a presence that he couldn’t explain.
Our investigation showed that there was a family member’s house
actually across the street from the sighting. He panicked in
shock, pulled his phone out like to take a photo, but it died.
He ran, scared, he looked back and it was gone, he said very
fast despite it being very windy. There was no sound, he felt
like it was looking for something, couldn’t explain, felt some
intelligence inside it. The episode lasted 6-7 minutes. No one
else was around at that time in the morning. There were no
environmental sounds like dogs etc. This was the individual’s
first experience of any type.Investigator checked Wunderground
for both January 16 and January 17 and the winds at 4:00 AM were
CALM. Many sightings involve unusual weather patterns not
otherwise documented, so whether this was part of the effect
with the sighting, that is the only thing she could come up
with. Sky object documentation. Tracer dot 503 showed MADAR site
251 at Sumter, South Carolina, 58 miles to the west of Gresham.
Previously the narrative had the sighting at Conway which was 20
miles further, so this brings the incident a lot closer to the
MADAR site. Checking the data there was no code blue but the
magnetometer reading showed some interesting data. It comes as
no surprise that the spike occurred one minute before, at 09:03
UTC, since time pieces can vary that much, but it is
unmistakable that the spike was 10.88 milligaus, preceded by
4.88 and lasted only a minute, ending with a 3.38 milligaus. But
there was another spike eight minutes later of 11.62 and the
witness' corrected duration puts the departure at 4:10-4:11 EST
which is 09:12 UTC. The anomaly at 09:04 UTC had an MSV of 4
degrees on the compass, plus the accelerometer showed a slight
variation at the exact time of the incident.

Reported: 2025-02-20 17:47 Pacific, Duration: 3 minutes, No of
observers: 2, Above the Lake at Arrowhead Campground, Shape:
Disk, Color: Metallic, Estimated Size: 20 feet in diameter,
Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: It was towards the
middle of the lake above approximately 500 feet. Angle of
Elevation: 75, Closest Distance: 1000 feet or so, Estimated
Speed: Unknown, very fast, Characteristics: Lights on object,
Aura or haze around object. 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.

February 23, 2025; Edmond, Oklahoma
5:40 AM CST. Witness took her daughter to work that morning at
a local coffee shop off of Pennsylvania - a street, that opens
early, something she does about once a month. She said her
smart phone was connected to her vehicle’s Bluetooth and she
took video as driving and then as parked afterward
nearby. She said there were stars, and the stars seemed
brighter and more colorful lately for some reason. She thought
this object was a star until it started moving. It made no
sounds at all. She did not think it was a plane or helicopter,
and really doesn’t think it is a drone, but she cannot
guarantee that. She did look on Flight Radar24 to see if it
could be a plane and none were listed. She took about 1 min.
35 seconds of video but started to feel afraid as if the
object was evaluating or watching her. She said she knew that
could sound crazy or paranoid, but it was how she felt so she
stopped because she felt afraid. This appears to be an unknown
object.

March 12, 2025; Walnut Ridge, Arizona
At 10:19 PM CDT. (0319 GMT), witness observed a ball or sphere
about twice the size of Venus or Jupiter, form as he was
actively watching the skies to the NW of Walnut Ridge. Once
formed, the sphere trekked horizontally slowly as 3 other
smaller star-like lights dropped down from it. These lights
were in a cluster, and went outward in a triangle formation.
They all stopped moving at the same time, forming a triangle,
and then all faded out. This occurred within 30 seconds.
For 20 or so minutes afterward, he observed random lights
across the sky to the NW of Walnut Ridge, at times, but his
view was obstructed by pine trees. Since the witness of
this incident is also the operator of node 259 at Walnut
Ridge, a MADAR report was filed and mailed to the Operations
Center.

March
16, 2025; East of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
2:20 AM CDT. Witness reported a light in the sky moving back
and forth and finally dropping down to land. Witness was
headed home from work when he noticed the bright white light
in the sky moving side to side. He checked his flight radar
app and the SkyView light to make sure it wasn’t a plane or a
star. As he recorded one of the videos a street light can be
seen going out right as the object passes by it. Size and
speed unknown. There’s a video from Edmond, OK posted one
month prior to this with the same or similar object being
seen. Curious to what this could be as the same thing was
recorded recently.*Videos of craft. 10 minutes. (NUFORC UFO
Sighting 188352) [See earlier report at Edmond on 2/23/2025].
A
tracer dot was generated from the latlong for Oklahoma City
and it was obvious that it really wasn't needed. Oklahoma City
has a MADAR site, site 242. Converting CDT to UTC it was
determined that it was reported to be observed at 07:20 UTC
and within one minute there WAS a spike in the magnetometer of
8.25 milligaus. This was the highest reading on the page
except for about 8 minutes later where there was another
identicle spike, suggesting the object might have exited
airspace. In both cases there was MSV (multi-sensor
verification) with the onboard compass of 3 or more degrees.
Both times the accelerometer had slight spikes as well. Site
242 was not geiger-equipped.

18, 2025; Loudon, New Hampshire
11:15 AM local EDT. Duration: 1 - 2 minutes, Estimated
Size: couldn't tell, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer:
Heading West, Angle of Elevation: 44, Closest Distance:
hundred plus feet, Estimated Speed: approx. 5 MPH.
Witness was driving west on School St. around the Elementary
School when he noticed a solid white shape moving at a steady
regular pace just above the treeline south to north.. Object
was shaped like a soft, sideways Chevron. The sky was cloudy
grey/white but this stood out because of its shape and color.
No flapping was observed so it wasn't a bird, no skeletal
structure so it was not a drone. Too low to be a plane and not
at all a helicopter (no sound, no wiry look to it). It just
moved at a steady pace over the treeline - South to North.
Witness followed it with his eyes until he reached the stop
sign, then lost sight of it. It stuck out to him because of
its color, shape, movement and position over the trees. Not at
all normal or usual for the area. NUFORC UFO Sighting 188396.
Fifty miles to the southwest is MADAR site 27 at Keene, New
Hampshire. local time of 11:15 AM EDT converts to 15:15 UTC.
The spreadsheet for node 27 shows a couple of spikes in the
magnetometer, on column 5. The first spike occurred at 15:14,
which is within a minute of the reported sighting and time
pieces can be a minute off. It was 6.75 milligaus. A larger
spike occurred shortly after at 15:17 with the highest reading
on the page or 8.25 milligaus. There was no MSV (multi-sensor
verification): no compass deviations (col 4) and the site was
not geiger counter equipped (col. 8). The MADAR data was
definitely more impressive than the sighting, but the case is
under investigation.

March 25, 2025; Mesa, Arizona
On March 31st, a MADAR site operator at Mesa was going over
footage from his Allsky camera and came across a frame that
got his attention. In this particular frame he noticed an
object on the right that was obviously a bird, but the
identity of the two other objects on the upper left could not
be determined. The camera takes pictures every eight seconds.
The objects were not in the frames before or after the one in
question. The images are time-dated so the time of the event
was 03/26/2025 01:25.30 UTC. Mesa is on MST or Mountain
Standard Time so the actual date of the sighting was
3/25/2025, and the CUT was 3/26/2025. There were two
unidentifiable objects in that frame, two very-interesting
objects. It may not be possible to gain much from an analysis
of these targets, but an attempt will be made. The site
operator noted that there was no code blue alert on his MADAR
unit, meaning DAS alarm did not sound the usual one-minute
plus alarm. But when he checked the MADAR unit's spreadsheet
he noticed a spike in the EMF.

April 9, 2025; Indianapolis, Indiana
The MADAR operator of site 310 has a couple of RLC-811WA
Reolink skycams recording the skies 24/7. He had had an alert
on 4/9 at 7:52 am. EDT. Originally this alert had been written
off as an "uncorrelated target". A couple of days later he was
routinely going over the camera data and discovered on some of
the frames that a couple of objects had flown through his
cameras' field of view at the same time. He said that he
thought that they may have been birds but they didn't move
like birds and he had never found birds on the recordings
before so he had no reference to judge that. [These north
camera objects look like "cubes" in my opinion. - Ridge] The
east camera images were birds, however the north camera after
analysis shows a more rectangular object and is listed as an
unknown.

April 21, 2025; Indianapolis, Indiana
MADAR site 310 operator Robert B sent MADAR Operations Center
at Newburgh (IN) a message reporting that
he had had three alerts this day. Normally he doesn't have his
Reolink cameras set to record during daylight, but
as soon as his MADAR alert sounded he viewed the camera in
real time. On the first alert he noticed a brief
millisecond black triangle image which he thought could have
been an anomaly with the camera. On the second
alert he didn’t notice anything. On the third alert he went
into manual override recorded and captured the event. At
first he noticed two orb shaped lights next to a line of
clouds that moved different than the large cloud mass and
then fade or just disappeared. He watched the video a few
times and noticed that there was also a black trianglelike
object that appeared in the large cloud. He attached the
MADARr DATA report, video, and a screenshot of the
black object to MOC. He wasn't sure if this was something, or
not. The screenshot was taken at 7:27 PM EDT.II. MADAR DATA:
It was getting late so we had to wait until the next day to
check the data. The first thing we did was run a MADAR
DAILY ALERT for the previous day. April 21, 2025 showed that
there had been 26 alertStarts listed. Four of the
alerts were listed for Indianapolis, all of them site 310.
Beginning at 15:55 UTC, then 20:17, 20:38, and 22:46.
Converted to local EDT that was 11:55 AM, 16:17 or 4:17 PM,
16:38 or 4:38 PM, and finally 18:46 or 6:46 PM. The last alert
at 6:46 PM coincided with the screenshot of 6:47 PM which
shows what appears to be a black triangle in
the clouds. The alertStart magnetometer spike was 37.88
milligaus, just over the 35 mg threshold for site 310. If it
had been set at 40 like many of our nodes, this would not have
been a code blue. The disturbance in the E-M field
lasted over one minute two seconds even though the alertEnd
was technically at 11:53 UTC when the mag
reading dropped uinder threshold which was 35. The site was
geiger-equipped and the spreadsheet shows the
cpm (counts per minute) actually dropped to 12 cpm during the
alertStart, but the readings never reached the
significant level which is 2.5 times normal background.

On
the afternoon of May 17, 2025, at around 2:20 PM local time,
the witness was at home in Nashville, Tennessee, observing a
passenger jet through binoculars from the backyard. As the
witness followed the jet across the sky, a spherical object
unexpectedly drifted into the field of view from the left,
catching the observer completely off guard. The object
appeared to be a metallic silver sphere, roughly 40 feet in
diameter. It had an orange-colored light near its midsection
and what looked like an indented band running through its
middle. Suspended in the eastern sky at about a 75-degree
angle of elevation, it seemed to hover in place with only a
slight, unsteady wobble. Compared to the passenger jet, this
sphere was noticeably lower in altitude — estimated to be
hovering around 1,000 feet up and perhaps a thousand feet or
more from the witness' position on the ground. Object was
observed closely for about 30 seconds, but eventually was lost
to sight of it behind a tree. The observer moved to a
different vantage point to try to spot it again, but it had
vanished. There were aircraft in the vicinity, but none
appeared to interact with the object. A drawing of what was
seen was attached to the report to NUFORC to better illustrate
its appearance. [NUFORC 189703] The
nearest MADAR site to the sighting was node 33 at Thompson
Station, Tennessee, 30 miles south of Nashville. Converting
the local time of 2:20 pm to MADAR's UTC I checked the
spreadsheet and was surprised to find a magnetometer spike of
8.62 milligause right at 19:20:09 . The compass had deviated 2
degrees, one degree under the MSV [multi-sensor verification]
we normally prefer. Node 33 was not geiger-counter equipped.
The threshold of the site was set at 48, a little high for the
current software, so there was no code blue, but the spike in
column 5 was significant and the sighting was equally
interesting.

When reviewing AllSky Camera footage, operator observed a
white disk object enter the frame from the South. It remains
within the frames of the camera for 1 minute, then exits to
the North/Northwest. During this time, his MADAR unit skipped
1 minute of data. Camera Details: ZWO ASI715MC 2.1mm

July 22; however, both the all-sky camera and the coincident
MADAR data are recorded in UTC and show the event occurring on
July 23, 2024, from 18:12:03 to 18:13:07 UTC, corresponding to
11:12–11:13 AM MST in Mesa, Arizona. The July 22 date appears to
be a reporting error due to incorrect UTC-to-local conversion.

June 11, 2025; Branford, Connecticut
At 8:47 PM a couple at Branford reported a close encounter
with a disc about the size of two semis put together
side-by-side for about 20 seconds as they exited a train
overpass. Node 106 at Newington, CT, 20 miles NW had an
anomaly on its magnetometer for about a minute about 5 minutes
later. At the same time its geiger counter experienced a
background radiation reading that lasted twice as long, under
two minutes. Another site, 139 at Walligford, 21 miles south
had a mag spike at 00:53:55 UTC which is 8:53 pm (6 mins after
the sighting). This was our first radiation correlation since
we went GC operational early this year. Not only that but both
sites had compass variations. The odds against three sensors
showing significant data during a good close encounter is
astronomical.

July 9, 2025; Mogadore, Ohio
At approximately 8:30 PM local time EDT on July 9, 2025, a
lone witness traveling along Route 532 in Tallmadge, Ohio,
reportedly observed a massive, unidentified flying object in
the sky, east of Mogadore. The object appeared circular in
shape and was described as enormous—possibly up to a mile
wide—with what looked like multiple levels or tiers.
Initially, the object was seen stationary in a clear blue sky,
high above the treetops. The witness noted that it seemed to
just "hang there," unmoving and silent. Upon beginning to
photograph the object, it slowly began to move, eventually
descending to tree level, where it once again came to a stop.
The witness then pulled over, but by that time the object had
shifted deeper into the tree line, making it more difficult to
view in detail. Despite visibility being partially obstructed
by trees, the witness described the object as having
structural features, including what might have been windows or
portals. The sighting lasted approximately five minutes before
the object was lost from view. The witness later confirmed
through online sources that no blimps were operating in the
area at the time. The experience left a strong impression,
described as unsettling and strange, especially since it was
the witness's first time encountering anything of the sort.
Attempts to discuss the event on social media met with
ridicule, which the witness found disheartening given the
seriousness and clarity of what they saw. [By "they" it
implies more than one witness, and the name and number given
by nuforc was of a male, but the social media report gave a
woman's name]. The report was filed with NUFORC the following
day. [190903] An AI search gave the nearest MADAR site
as site 55 at Windham, Ohio, 25 miles NE of the sighting area.
The time zone was 7/9/2025 20:30 or 8:30 PM EDT so the UTC
conversion was actually the next day, 7/10 at 00:30 UTC.
Immediately it was noticed that there was a large spike in the
magnetometer reading within the minute, of 24.75 milligaus,
the highest reading on the page. Within the 5 minute
observation period the onboard compass had varied from
176 degrees to 172 degrees, exceeding the requirement for MSV,
multi-sensor verification. Interesting that the site threshold
was set at 50 milligaus which made it impossible to have a
code blue, but the data was still very valuable. The TH would
have had to be as low as 24 to trigger, and few nodes are set
that low, Had the site been geiger-equipped it might have been
even more successful. If that's not good enough to confirm a
UAP in the regional airspace, another site 4 miles further NE
at Garrettsville had not been checked due to a mapping issue.
When MADAR site 64 was checked for SBC (sub-blue correlation)
it was discovered that there had been a noticeable spike of
10.12 milligaus at the exact time of the reported sighting and
the compass reacted almost 12 degrees in 5 minutes. The TH was
35 and the site was also not geiger-equipped.

July 22, 2025, Buffalo, New York
At approximately 6:46 PM local time, two adult witnesses
traveling south on Interstate 90 near Buffalo, New York,
observed an unusual aerial object toward the south in the
vicinity of the Galleria Mall. The object appeared to be a white, cylindrical “tic
tac”-shaped craft, estimated to be
around 40 feet in size and positioned at an angle of about
45 degrees elevation, approximately 30,000 feet away. The witnesses noted a clear, spherical aura or
haze
surrounding the object. Over the course of about two
minutes, the object vanished and reappeared
several times, each time as an intense, pinpoint flash of light
high in the sky. No sound was reported, and the object’s
speed could not be determined. Both witnesses described
the event as clear and distinct, with the object
maintaining its position in the southern sky before
disappearing completely. (NUFORC 191178). A case
of this type would be interesting in itself, but we found a
MADAR site located in Buffalo, site 267 that showed some
interesting magnetometer spikes. Another site also located
in Buffalo, site 163, failed to show any magnetometer spikes
but apparently was not located in a good E-M free area
because the onboard compass was too erratic. If there had
been some mag spikes at the same time at site 163 this would
have been scientifically good news. Neither site had geiger
counters. Site 267 showed an early mag spike at 22:41:48 UTC
or 6:42 PM EDT of 11.25 milligaus. Six minutes later there
was the spike 22:47:48 UTC or 6:48 PM, which was two minutes
after the reported event took place. Note that the witnesses
gave a specific time of 6:46 PM. There was MSV or
multisensor verification with this node with the compass
changing from 34 degrees to 37 degrees in 8 minutes. The
threshold for this node was set at 40 milligaus, which is a
reasonable TH with the current software but the disturbance
was way below this, therefore there was no code blue. Had
the UAP performed any dynamic maneuvers this could have very
well triggered the MADAR, but this sub code blue (SCB) is
worth documenting.

July 24, 2025, Jonesborough, Tennessee
Aat approximately 11:15 PM local time, a resident of
Jonesborough reported observing a large unidentified aerial
object. The witness was standing in their backyard when they
noticed a bright star-like light low in the eastern sky. A
smaller blinking light was visible on the north side of the
bright object. The light then moved rapidly toward the
southeast and came to a stop, hovering in the sky. At that
point, the main bright light went out, leaving four blinking
lights that remained visible. The object then began moving
westward while descending. It passed directly over the
witness’s house at an estimated altitude of about 200 feet,
allowing for a clear view of the underside. The witness
described the object as extremely large — roughly 125 feet
long and 80 feet wide — easily spanning their home, a
neighboring house, and both yards. The craft was
cross-shaped with slightly rounded edges and emitted only a
faint, low hum. There was no noticeable air movement or
downdraft beneath it. A soft gray fog-like aura surrounded
the object. Looking up from the ground, the witness saw that
the underside of the craft was made up of layered gray
sections that looked like rows of circuit boards. The center
section was a large rectangle, with two rectangular
extensions to either side, forming the cross shape.
Crescent-shaped foggy forms were also visible extending
inward from both the top-left and top-right portions. Only
the bottom of the craft was seen; the top and sides were not
visible from the observer’s position. The object hovered
over the witness for about a minute, remaining silent except
for the low hum, and then began moving westward and upward
at the same time. It accelerated very rapidly and
disappeared into the western sky. Total time in view was 2-3
minutes. The witness stressed the immense size of the object
and its near-silent operation. The night was clear, and
visibility was good. No other witnesses or physical evidence
have been reported. This case represents a close-range
observation of a large, structured, cross-shaped object
exhibiting hovering capability and rapid acceleration, with
lighting behavior inconsistent with conventional aircraft.
The object remains unidentified.

September 21, 2025; Brandon,
Florida
A resident of Brandon experienced a close-range
encounter with an unidentified aerial object. The
witness, who resides on the third floor of an
apartment complex approximately 1.5 miles from both
the University of South Florida and Advent Hospital,
stepped out onto her balcony around 11:20 PM for a
moment of quiet reflection. What she saw next would
leave her shaken and searching for answers. Hovering
approximately 500 feet above the ground—estimated to
be about 1,000 feet above her vantage point—was a
dark, disk-shaped craft. The object appeared solid and
seamless, with no visible dome or protrusions. Along
its underside, the witness counted 13 distinct lights.
The craft glided silently across the sky, passing
unusually close to her position. Entranced, she stared
at the object for nearly two minutes, captivated by
its presence and motion. Realizing the significance of
what she was witnessing, the woman cautiously backed
into her apartment to retrieve her phone, determined
not to lose sight of the craft. As she began filming,
the object abruptly dissipated in front of her eyes. A
few flashes followed in the same region of the sky,
prompting her to continue recording in hopes of
capturing further evidence. When the object failed to
reappear, she stopped filming and immediately called a
friend. It was during this call that she was
introduced to MUFON—the Mutual UFO Network—for the
first time. Still visibly shaken during the interview
conducted the following day, the witness described her
emotional state as fearful and overwhelmed. She
expressed hope that others may have seen the same
phenomenon and would come forward. At the
investigator’s request, she provided an AI-generated
rendering of the craft. At the time of the sighting,
air traffic in the area included a Frontier Airlines
flight to the East of her and a helicopter departing
from Advent Hospital. No rocket launches or satellite
passes were recorded during the window of the event.
The object was estimated to be approximately half a
mile from the witness’s apartment, positioned midway
between USF and Advent Hospital.The investigator’s
MADAR site 270 registered anomalous spikes in magnetic
gradient amplitude (MGA) on the same night. Exactly
one hour after the sighting, the unit recorded a spike
of 33—well above the typical baseline of 6 to 7. Eight
hours later, another spike of 27 was observed. These
readings suggest possible electromagnetic disturbances
coinciding with the event. While speculative, the
investigator thinks that the object may have cloaked
itself following visual dissipation, triggering the
MADAR anomalies as it exited the area. I believe that
it was cloaked and it exited our atmosphere an hour
later. The video provided by the witness was examined
and found to be authentic, with unaltered metadata
confirming the time and location of the recording.
