NUFORC Sightings Report: 01/2020

This document is a comprehensive compilation of sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of January 2020. The report consists of hundreds of individual entries detailing observations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) across the United States, Canada, and several international locations. Each entry provides the date, time, location, and a brief description of the object's shape and the witness's experience. The reports describe a wide variety of phenomena, including lights, orbs, triangles, disks, cigars, and formations. Many witnesses describe objects that move in ways they consider unnatural, such as hovering, rapid acceleration, or silent flight. A significant number of entries reference the 'Starlink' satellite constellation as a potential explanation for sightings involving strings or lines of lights, a recurring theme throughout the month. Other reports mention the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Automated Recording) nodes, which appear to be automated monitoring systems used to detect anomalies. The document also includes anecdotal reports of more unusual experiences, such as alleged abductions, encounters with entities, and sightings of objects that appear to be metallic or craft-like. Some entries note the presence of military aircraft or drones in the vicinity of the sightings. The reports are presented in a chronological format, beginning with the end of the month and working backward to the first of January. The document serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted accounts of aerial anomalies, reflecting the diverse and often subjective nature of UAP reporting during this period.
