It had a metallic looking appearance and on the side that I was looking at it looked to me like th...

2 green circular lights. One higher than the other and the one below was on the right at an angle not directly below the one above it. They stayed in one spot in the sky.
At one point the higher green light turned red..then back to green and descended down in a straight line. Rose again above the trees and moved slowly to the right...then disappeared.

THE LIGHTS SHIFTED TO A PALE SHADE OF RED. TOOK EYES OFF OF IT FOR MAYBE 10-15 SECONDS AND WHEN WE LOOKED AGAIN IT WAS GONE. TOO FAST TO BE ANY COMMERCIAL AIRLINER, TOO BRIGHT TO BE A REGULAR AIRCRAFT, SHAPE UNLIKE ANYTHING FAMILIAR.

we saw three circular objects glowing white to red hovering in the sky. The objects were moving slightly left, up, down, right. Then at times they would move great distances away and back around the area where we first spotted them. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Lights and flashes in the sky with interaction every night since the spring of 2020.
It all started in the spring of 2020. All together I have had 100s of sightings and have had multiple interactions. I've also have had plenty of witnesses; which includes a high ranking officer in the Air Force. Some of the UFOs I've seen are fireballs; but mostly different colors of light.. round. The interactions I ...

Bright light above the southwest horizon like a star but too low to be a star. Hovering but occassionally moving in an erratic way from side to side yet remaining in the same general location. Didn't seem to be making any noise.

Bright green light.
Having a bible study. Came out of the church. Someone said look up at the sky. All 7 people seen the same green very long light. Glowing. It would shrink and become shorter and then go longer. It was in the sky for at least 20 minutes. Source elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

There was a strong light or even flame, falling vertically, above the sea.. Very different from a shooting star.

NUFORC

147,890 UFO sightings from NUFORC, scraped on January 16, 2024.

The best representation of the data is nuforc.json, but I also converted this to .csv files.

Each .csv has a different approach to the "Characteristics" column:

  • nuforc_str.csv has a "Characteristics" column that looks like this: "Aircraft nearby, Animals reacted"
  • nuforc_list.csv has a "Characteristics" column that look like: "['Aircraft nearby', 'Animals reacted']"
  • nuforc_bool.csv has one column for each characteristic, with values as True or null (empty).

Note that while this is a crowdsourced database compiled from the reports of hundreds of thousands of individuals, NUFORC also claims copyright over the reports with invisible text at the bottom of every page reading "© 2023 National UFO Reporting Center. All rights reserved. Use or reproduction within any application without written consent is prohibited." So while I have licensed this repository as MIT, the true license may actually be significantly more restrictive. For more information you might try contacting NUFORC at [email protected]
