NUFORC Sightings Report: 01/2021

This document is a compilation of UFO and UAP sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of January 2021. The report lists hundreds of individual entries, each detailing the date, time, location, and reported shape of the observed phenomenon. The sightings span a wide geographic range, primarily within the United States, but also including reports from Canada, India, Oman, the United Kingdom, Cambodia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and the Czech Republic. The reported shapes of the objects are highly varied, including spheres, orbs, triangles, cigars, disks, fireballs, and formations of multiple lights. Many witnesses describe the objects as hovering, moving at high speeds, changing colors, or performing maneuvers that they characterize as unusual or intelligent. Several entries reference the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Automated Recording) nodes, suggesting a network of automated monitoring. Other reports mention specific military installations, such as NAS Whiting Field, Eglin AFB, and Buckley Air Force Base, or reference commercial flight tracking apps like Flightradar24 to rule out conventional aircraft. Some reports include personal anecdotes, such as witnesses capturing images or videos, or experiencing unusual physical or psychological phenomena. The document serves as a raw data log of public reports, with occasional editorial notes from NUFORC staff, such as suggesting potential explanations like insects, Starlink satellites, or noting when a witness provided no significant information.
