NUFORC Sightings Report: 12/2014

This document is a comprehensive compilation of UFO and UAP sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) during the month of December 2014. The report spans 31 pages and lists hundreds of individual accounts from witnesses across the United States, Canada, and several international locations including Brazil, Japan, India, Colombia, and the United Kingdom. The entries are organized chronologically, beginning with reports from December 31, 2014, and concluding with reports from December 1, 2014. Each entry provides the date, time, location, and the reported shape of the object, followed by a brief, often one-sentence description of the sighting provided by the witness. The reported phenomena vary significantly in description, ranging from 'fireballs,' 'orbs,' 'triangles,' 'disks,' and 'cigar-shaped' objects to more abstract descriptions of lights, formations, and 'changing' shapes. Many witnesses describe objects that hover, move at high speeds, change direction abruptly, or disappear suddenly. Some reports include specific details about the objects' appearance, such as neon colors, pulsating lights, or metallic surfaces. Several entries include editorial notes from NUFORC, which occasionally suggest potential explanations for the sightings, such as the planet Sirius, Chinese lanterns, meteor showers, or rocket launches (specifically citing an Atlas V launch). Other reports mention the presence of military aircraft, such as fighter jets, or describe unusual experiences like missing time or sleep paralysis. The document serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted sightings, reflecting a wide variety of aerial observations reported during the final month of 2014.
