NUFORC Sightings Report: 12/2019

This document is a comprehensive compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sighting reports submitted to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) for the month of December 2019. The report spans 46 pages and catalogs hundreds of individual accounts from witnesses across the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other international locations. The sightings are presented in reverse chronological order, beginning with reports from December 31, 2019, and concluding with reports from the beginning of the month. The descriptions provided by witnesses are highly varied, encompassing a wide range of shapes, including orbs, lights, triangles, disks, cigars, fireballs, and formations. Many reports describe objects moving in straight lines, often in large groups, which frequently led witnesses to speculate about the presence of 'Starlink' or 'Spacelink' satellites. Other accounts detail more anomalous behaviors, such as objects hovering, changing colors, performing erratic maneuvers, or appearing and disappearing instantaneously. Several reports mention the use of MADAR (Multiple Anomaly Detection and Automated Recording) nodes, indicating a technical monitoring component to some of the data collection. The document also includes anecdotal reports of close encounters, including claims of abduction, metallic objects, and objects interacting with local infrastructure or aircraft. The tone of the reports is informal, reflecting the personal experiences of the observers. While many reports are brief, some provide specific details regarding the time, location, and visual characteristics of the phenomena. The document serves as a raw data repository for public-submitted sightings, with minimal editorial intervention, though some entries include brief notes from NUFORC regarding potential explanations, such as advertising lights, satellites, or meteor activity.
