This document is a compilation of UFO sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of March 2005. The report lists hundreds of individual accounts from various locations globally, primarily within the United States, but also including Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Brunei, India, New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina, and Bolivia.

The reports describe a wide variety of phenomena, including lights, spheres, disks, triangles, cigars, fireballs, and other unidentified shapes. Witnesses frequently describe erratic flight patterns, high speeds, silent movement, and sudden appearances or disappearances. Some reports include specific details such as the presence of multiple objects, flashing lights, or unusual colors. Several entries mention the use of cameras or video equipment to document the sightings. A significant number of reports from March 12, 2005, describe a green fireball or meteor-like event observed across the Pacific Northwest, which NUFORC notes as a probable meteor. Other entries include personal anecdotes, such as a witness in Newcomerstown, Ohio, reporting feelings of paralysis and chest pressure, and a witness in Cornelius, North Carolina, describing a creature on their windowsill. The document also contains occasional editorial notes from NUFORC, suggesting potential explanations for certain sightings, such as the International Space Station, Iridium satellite flares, or the aurora borealis. The reports vary in length and detail, ranging from brief descriptions of lights to more elaborate accounts of encounters.
