This document is a comprehensive compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of February 2013. The report lists hundreds of individual accounts chronologically, spanning from February 1st through February 28th, 2013. The sightings are global in nature, though the vast majority originate from the United States, with additional reports from Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Guyana, Costa Rica, Mexico, India, New Zealand, and the Philippines. The reports describe a wide variety of shapes, including orbs, spheres, triangles, chevrons, disks, cigars, and various unidentified lights. Witnesses frequently describe objects that exhibit unconventional flight characteristics, such as hovering, rapid acceleration, silent movement, and sudden disappearance. Many reports mention the presence of military aircraft in the vicinity, with some witnesses suggesting the objects were interacting with or evading these jets. Other reports note specific environmental or physical phenomena, such as power outages, strange sounds, or the presence of vapor trails. The document serves as a raw data repository, capturing the subjective experiences of numerous individuals who reported their observations to the center. While some entries include brief notes from NUFORC regarding potential explanations—such as lens flares, meteors, or astronomical bodies like Sirius—the majority of the entries remain as unverified witness accounts. The report provides a snapshot of the public's engagement with UAP phenomena during this specific month, highlighting the diversity of descriptions and the widespread geographic distribution of these sightings.
