NUFORC Sightings Report: 05/2021

This document is a comprehensive compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) during the month of May 2021. The report consists of 31 pages of individual entries, each detailing specific sightings reported by members of the public across the United States and internationally. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning with reports from May 31, 2021, and extending back through the month to May 1, 2021. Each entry typically includes the date and time of the sighting, the location, the reported shape of the object, and a brief narrative description provided by the witness. The shapes reported are highly varied, including lights, orbs, circles, triangles, cigars, disks, fireballs, and formations. Many witnesses describe objects moving in straight lines, hovering, or performing erratic maneuvers. Several reports mention the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Aerial Recording) nodes, suggesting a technical monitoring component to some of the data collection. Additionally, numerous entries reference the potential for sightings to be attributed to SpaceX Starlink satellite constellations, reflecting a common point of confusion for observers during this period. The narratives range from brief, single-sentence observations to more detailed accounts involving multiple witnesses, video recordings, and physical reactions, such as animal agitation or electronic interference. The document serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted accounts of aerial anomalies, capturing a wide spectrum of human experiences and interpretations of unidentified objects in the sky throughout May 2021.
