NUFORC Sightings Report: 02/2021

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 2021. The reports span a wide geographic range, including numerous locations across the United States, as well as international sightings in countries such as Mexico, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Norway, South Africa, India, Ireland, and Bolivia. The sightings are presented in reverse chronological order, beginning with reports from February 28, 2021, and concluding with reports from February 1, 2021. The descriptions provided by witnesses vary significantly in nature and detail. Common shapes reported include disks, spheres, triangles, cylinders, cigars, and various light formations. Many reports describe lights moving in straight lines or formations, with several entries explicitly noting the possibility of these being Starlink satellite constellations. Other reports detail more anomalous behaviors, such as objects hovering, changing shape, emitting beams of light, or moving at extreme speeds. Several entries reference the MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Automated Recording) network, indicating automated sensor triggers at specific nodes. Some reports include notes from NUFORC regarding potential explanations, such as missile launches from submarines, lens flares, or reports from FAA employees. The document serves as a raw data repository for public sightings, capturing the subjective experiences of individuals who observed phenomena they could not readily identify. The reports range from brief, single-sentence descriptions to more detailed accounts of duration, movement, and environmental context. The document provides a snapshot of the diverse and frequent nature of UAP reports received by the center during this specific month.
