NUFORC Sightings Report: 12/2021

This document serves as a comprehensive compilation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) sightings reported to the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) throughout the month of December 2021. The report is structured chronologically, beginning on December 31, 2021, and extending back to December 1, 2021. Each entry provides the date and time of the sighting, the location, the reported shape of the object, and a brief narrative description provided by the witness. The sightings are global in nature, though the majority are concentrated within the United States. Witnesses describe a wide variety of phenomena, including lights, orbs, triangles, cigars, disks, and formations. Many reports mention specific behaviors such as hovering, rapid acceleration, zigzagging, or changing shape. Several entries reference the use of technology to capture evidence, such as photographs, video footage, or Ring camera recordings. Additionally, the document includes references to 'MADAR' nodes, which are automated detection systems used to monitor for anomalous activity. Some entries include brief editorial notes from NUFORC, such as questioning if certain lights were ground-based advertising or lens flares. The reports vary significantly in detail, ranging from simple observations of lights to more complex accounts of craft maneuvering in ways that witnesses deemed impossible or non-human. The document provides a raw data set of public reports without offering a formal investigation or official conclusion for the individual events, functioning primarily as an archival record of public submissions to the center during this specific timeframe.
