This report deals exclusively with bonified MADAR anomalies and documented Potential Sightings of Interest, those that we feel are representative of the UAP phenomena. There were a number of interesting sightings that either had too distant connections or had no obvious correlations-in-time to be used in this report. There were also cases that were not used because certain data couldn't be confirmed. So this is an effort to show accurate results, many times using Multi-Server Verification. This report will be subject to updating. Appropriate explanetory links are provided at the end of this summary. The current INVESTIGATION_STATUS database report showing all these cases and others can be accessed at any time. Finally, any terms used in this report you are not familiar with are explained at the end of this report. - Fran Ridge, MADAR Operations Center. Updated 3 July 2025 January 9, 2025; Parkersburg, West Virginia NUFORC 186666. Occurred: 2025-01-09 22:15 Local, Reported: 2025-01-09 21:44 Pacific, Duration: 5 seconds, No of observers: 1, Shape: Cube, Color: Silver/metal, Estimated Size: 5 feet, Viewed From: Land, Direction from Viewer: South, Angle of Elevation: 83, Closest Distance: 300 feet, Estimated Speed: 35 mph, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object. 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. https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250109/20250109-Parkersburg.pdf 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. https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250113/20250113-Rocklin.pdf January 17, 2025; Gresham (not Conway as reported), South Carolina NUFORC UFO Sighting 186929, Occurred: 2025-01-17 04:04 Local – Approximate, Reported: 2025-01-16 23:50 Pacific, Duration: 1, No of observers: 1, Location details: Outside close to the ground, Shape: Egg, Color: Silver, Viewed From: Land, Angle of Elevation: 43, Characteristics: Aura or haze around object, Changed Color, Electrical or magnetic effects. Out this world - Ok well here we go my name is (deleted). I’m here to tell you that my first experience was very different and unexpected especially where I’m from. It was like 4 am, really windy outside, like really heavy no rain, and I’m walking all by myself with my head phones on when suddenly I feel this urge to look up and the thing I saw was shaped like an egg. It was almost the size of a car and it was stationary and didn’t move a muscle in the air, powerful wind, and it was really close to the ground. I mean super super close, and it was in the air enough to see it also it was in someone’s backyard. But if I could get on the roof I could jump off and touch it. And it was almost like it was breathing like a light, but one dim light in the inside, and it was glowing almost like a heartbeat. Never seen anything ever like this and I think this is very serious. https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250117/Gresham.pdf February 20, 2025; Johnson City, Illinois NUFORC UFO Sighting 187843, Occurred: 2025-02-20 19:01 Local, 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. [MADAR at Norris City, IL had spikes] https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250220/20250220-johnson-city.pdf 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. https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250312/20250312-Walnut-Ridge.pdf March 16, 2025; Oklahoma City, Oklahoma March 18, 2025; Loudon, New Hampshire 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. https://www.nicap.org/match/Correlations/2025/20250325/20250325-Mesa.pdf 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. https://www.nicap.org/match/ April 21, 2025; Indianapolis Terms and acronyms used in this report: nuforc = National UFO Reporting Center at Seattle, Washington CCO = Case Certification Officer.
