NUFORC Sightings Report: 11/2016

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 November 2016. The report consists of a chronological list of individual sightings, spanning from November 1st through November 30th, 2016. Each entry provides the date and time of the event, the location (primarily within the United States, with some reports from Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, Bulgaria, and Malaysia), and the reported shape of the object. The descriptions provided by witnesses vary significantly in detail and nature. Reported shapes include circles, triangles, spheres, orbs, fireballs, cigars, rectangles, diamonds, chevrons, and various 'light' or 'changing' configurations. Witness accounts describe a wide range of behaviors, including stationary hovering, erratic movement, high-speed flight, formation flying, and sudden disappearances. Some reports mention specific environmental or situational contexts, such as proximity to airports, military training areas, or specific landmarks. Several entries include brief notes from NUFORC staff, which occasionally offer potential conventional explanations for the sightings, such as celestial bodies (e.g., Sirius, planets), lens flares, meteor activity, or advertising lights. The document serves as a raw data repository of public-submitted accounts rather than an analytical intelligence assessment. The reports reflect the subjective experiences of observers, ranging from casual star-gazers to individuals who felt the phenomena were intelligent or anomalous in nature. The document provides a snapshot of the volume and diversity of UAP reports received by the organization during this specific period.
