NUFORC Sightings Report: 04/2021

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 2021. The report lists hundreds of individual accounts submitted by witnesses from across the United States, Canada, Australia, India, and the Netherlands. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning on April 30, 2021, and extending back to April 1, 2021. Each entry provides the date and time of the sighting, the location, and the reported shape of the object. The descriptions of the phenomena are highly varied, ranging from 'fireballs' and 'orbs' to 'triangles,' 'disks,' 'cigars,' and 'unknown shapes.' Many witnesses describe erratic flight patterns, sudden appearances and disappearances, and unusual light configurations. Several reports mention the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Aerial Surveillance) nodes, indicating a technical monitoring component to the data collection. Some entries include specific notes from NUFORC, often identifying potential conventional explanations for the sightings, such as rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, the star Sirius, or Starlink satellite constellations. The document also captures personal anecdotes from witnesses, including former military personnel, who express confusion or concern regarding the objects they observed. The reports frequently describe objects hovering, moving at high speeds, or displaying silent flight, with some witnesses reporting physical or psychological effects, such as missing time or power/electrical disturbances. The compilation serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted UAP reports, reflecting the diverse and often subjective nature of these encounters as reported to the center during this specific timeframe.
