NUFORC Sightings Report: 12/2015

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 2015. The reports span a wide geographic range, primarily within the United States and Canada, with isolated reports from the United Kingdom, South Africa, India, Cuba, and the United Arab Emirates. The sightings are presented in chronological order, beginning on December 31, 2015, and extending back through the month to December 1, 2015. The descriptions provided by witnesses vary significantly in detail and nature. Common shapes reported include orbs, spheres, fireballs, triangles, circles, lights, and cigar-shaped objects. Witness accounts frequently describe unusual flight behaviors, such as hovering, rapid acceleration, erratic movement, and formation flying. Many reports mention specific colors, most notably orange, red, white, and blue. Several entries include notes from NUFORC, which offer potential explanations for the sightings, such as the star Sirius, Venus, Jupiter, Iridium satellite flares, rocket launches from Cape Canaveral, or re-entering space debris. Some reports are explicitly noted as potential hoaxes or misidentifications of conventional aircraft, drones, or advertising lights. The document serves as a raw data repository of public-submitted accounts, capturing the diverse and often subjective nature of UAP reporting during this period.
