UFO Sightings Map
Strange lights over the desert, silent black triangles, glowing orbs that hover and then vanish. This map collects recent UFO and UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) reports from witnesses and from the news, each pinned to where it happened.
Every report gets a probability score based on detail, evidence and corroborating sightings nearby, and the community votes on whether it holds up. Saw something you can’t explain? Add it to the map.

Famous cases
All case files →The Roswell Incident
In July 1947 the US Army announced it had recovered a “flying disc” near Roswell, then said a day later it was a weather balloon. Decades later it became the world’s most famous UFO case.
Kenneth Arnold’s “Flying Saucers”
A private pilot saw nine shining objects racing past Mount Rainier. His description gave the world the phrase “flying saucer” and started the modern UFO era.
The Betty and Barney Hill Abduction
A couple driving home through New Hampshire saw a light follow their car, then arrived home two hours late. Under hypnosis they described being taken aboard a craft: the first widely publicised alien abduction.
The Westall UFO Encounter
Around 200 students and teachers at a Melbourne school watched a silvery object descend into a nearby field and then fly away. Australia’s biggest mass sighting.
The Rendlesham Forest Incident
US Air Force personnel at two RAF bases reported strange lights and a landed craft in the forest over several nights. Often called “Britain’s Roswell”.
The Belgian UFO Wave
Over several months thousands of people in Belgium, including police officers, reported large, silent triangular craft with bright lights. The air force scrambled F-16s to chase one.
The Phoenix Lights
Thousands of people across Arizona watched a vast V-shaped formation of lights glide overhead, then a row of hovering orbs. One of the most-witnessed UFO events ever.
The USS Nimitz “Tic Tac” Encounter
US Navy fighter pilots chased a white, wingless object shaped like a Tic Tac that out-manoeuvred their jets. The Pentagon later released the video as “unidentified aerial phenomena”.
Frequently asked questions
How do I report a UFO sighting?+
Use the Report a Sighting button, drop a pin where it happened, describe what you saw and when, and attach any photos or video. Reports are reviewed before they appear on the map.
What is the difference between a UFO and a UAP?+
UAP (unidentified anomalous phenomena) is the term now used by the US government and researchers. It covers the same reports as UFO but also includes objects seen underwater or in space, without implying they are craft.
What do most UFO sightings turn out to be?+
Many are explained by satellites (especially Starlink trains), aircraft lights, drones, balloons, planets such as Venus, or camera artifacts. A small share stay unexplained even after investigation, and those are what researchers focus on.
How is the probability score calculated?+
It weighs how detailed the description is, whether there is photo or video evidence, the reporter’s track record, other sightings nearby at a similar time, and how recent the event is. Community credibility votes are shown separately.
