NUFORC Sightings Report: 12/2013

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 December 2013. The report spans 45 pages and catalogs hundreds of individual accounts from witnesses across the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and several other nations. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning with reports from December 31, 2013, and extending back through the month to December 1, 2013. Each entry provides the date, time, location, and a brief description of the reported object's shape and the witness's observation. The reported phenomena vary significantly in description, ranging from 'orbs' and 'fireballs' to 'triangular' or 'disk-shaped' craft. Many witnesses describe silent, fast-moving objects, while others report lights in formation, hovering craft, or objects that perform erratic maneuvers. Several reports mention specific details such as the color of the lights (often orange, red, or white), the presence of vapor trails, or the absence of sound. Some entries include brief personal commentary from the witnesses, expressing confusion, awe, or concern regarding what they observed. In a few instances, the NUFORC staff has added brief notes suggesting potential explanations for certain sightings, such as the planet Venus, Starlink satellites, or advertising lights, though the vast majority of reports remain as raw, unverified witness accounts. The document serves as a historical record of public reports of anomalous aerial activity during this specific timeframe, reflecting a wide geographic distribution of sightings and a diverse range of reported characteristics.
