NUFORC Sightings Report: 09/2018

This document is a comprehensive compilation of UFO and UAP sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of September 2018. The report spans 20 pages and lists hundreds of individual accounts from witnesses across the United States, Canada, and several international locations including the United Kingdom, Australia, Romania, Sweden, South Africa, and South Korea. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning with reports from September 30, 2018, and concluding with reports from September 1, 2018. Each entry provides the date, time, location, and a brief description of the observed object's shape and behavior. The shapes reported are highly varied, including lights, spheres, triangles, disks, cigars, cylinders, fireballs, orbs, diamonds, rectangles, and chevrons. Descriptions of behavior range from stationary hovering and slow movement to rapid, erratic flight, right-angle turns, and sudden disappearances. Many reports include anecdotal details such as the witness's location (e.g., driving on a highway, standing in a yard, or star-gazing), the presence of other witnesses, and the witness's personal reaction to the event. Several entries include notes from NUFORC staff, which offer potential mundane explanations for certain sightings, such as 'twinkling stars,' 'birds in flight,' 'Mars,' 'balloons,' or 'rays of sunlight.' The document also references the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Assessment Response) nodes in several locations, indicating a technical monitoring component to the data collection. Some reports mention physical or physiological experiences, such as animal reactions, radio interference, or physical marks on the witness. The document serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted sightings, reflecting a wide spectrum of aerial phenomena reported by the general public during this specific timeframe.
