NUFORC Sightings Report: 02/1998

This document is a chronological compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) during February 1998. The reports span a wide geographic range, including various locations across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands. The sightings describe a diverse array of phenomena, ranging from simple lights and fireballs to complex geometric shapes such as triangles, cigars, disks, cylinders, and spheres. Witnesses frequently report anomalous flight characteristics, including sudden stops, rapid acceleration, hovering, and movements inconsistent with conventional aircraft. Several reports mention specific interactions or observations, such as a black triangle observed near Memphis, Tennessee, being chased by Ohio Air National Guard F-16s, and military sightings reported by British servicemen at Fort Lewis, Washington. Other notable accounts include reports of telepathic contact, objects splitting into multiple parts, and objects appearing to interact with clouds or terrain. The document serves as a raw data repository of public-submitted accounts, capturing the varied and often subjective nature of UAP reporting during this period.
