NUFORC Sightings Report: 04/2020

This document is a comprehensive compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports collected by the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of April 2020. The document spans 62 pages and lists hundreds of individual reports submitted by witnesses from various locations, primarily within the United States, but also including reports from Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, India, and other nations. The reports are organized chronologically, beginning with late April and moving backward through the month. A recurring theme throughout the document is the frequent observation of 'strings' or 'lines' of lights, which many witnesses and the NUFORC notes frequently attribute to the Starlink satellite constellation. Descriptions of these objects vary widely, ranging from simple lights and orbs to more complex shapes such as triangles, cigars, disks, and formations. Many witnesses describe the objects as moving in unison, at high speeds, or in perfect formation, often noting the absence of sound. Several reports mention the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Assessment Response) nodes, indicating a technical monitoring component to some of the observations. Other reports describe more anomalous encounters, including objects that change shape, hover, or exhibit erratic flight patterns that defy conventional explanation. Some entries include notes from NUFORC staff suggesting potential conventional explanations, such as the planet Venus, Sirius, or lens flares, while others remain categorized as unknown. The document serves as a raw data repository of public observations during a period of high interest in satellite-related phenomena and general UAP activity.
