NUFORC Sightings Report: 04/2018

This document is a comprehensive compilation of UFO and UAP sighting reports collected by the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of April 2018. The report lists hundreds of individual accounts submitted by witnesses from various locations across the United States, Canada, and several international sites including the United Kingdom, France, Serbia, Latvia, India, Brazil, and Norway. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning with reports from April 30, 2018, and extending back to April 1, 2018. Each entry provides the date, time, location, and the reported shape of the object. The descriptions of the phenomena are highly varied, ranging from simple lights and fireballs to more complex shapes such as disks, triangles, cylinders, spheres, and chevron-shaped craft. Many reports include brief narrative descriptions from the witnesses, detailing behaviors such as hovering, rapid movement, sudden disappearance, and, in some instances, interaction with other aircraft or environmental effects like power outages. The document also incorporates notes from NUFORC staff, which occasionally offer potential explanations for the sightings, such as the planet Venus, Iridium satellite flares, or meteor activity, while also noting when reports were submitted via other organizations like MUFON or recorded by MADAR nodes. The report serves as a raw data repository for public sightings, reflecting the diverse and often subjective nature of UAP reporting during this period.
