As UFOs 'Arrive' In News, See Latest MA Sightings | Boston, MA Patch

📍 Location

📝 Description

Since the 2019 Patch roundup titled 'As UFOs Arrive In News, See Latest MA Sightings,' Massachusetts has seen a continued stream of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) reports, many tied to aviation contexts and a few ground-based sightings. Notable MA incidents in the 2023–2025 window include: a October 3, 2023 Boston-area sighting by two airline pilots with four cockpit videos (duration about 30 minutes); an August 23, 2024 Boston-area flight crew sighting described as a star-shaped object observed from the flight deck for 20–30 minutes; January 21, 2024 Melrose ground sighting where a local reported a diamond-shaped UAP approximately 200 feet above ground with a loud hum and flashing lights (reported duration not specified); and January 10, 2025 in Dennis, MA, a single observer reported a formation of green lights crossing overhead, lasting about 1 minute. These reports have been cataloged by NUFORC and related centers; there is no official government confirmation of extraterrestrial origin, and most cases remain under investigation or unconfirmed. The broader context remains ongoing, with annual NUFORC tallies showing continued UAP reporting in Massachusetts as part of a national pattern. The earlier Navy pilots’ hypersonic encounters (as described in the 2019 Patch piece and subsequent media) are cited as part of the historical backdrop to modern UAP reporting.

🔍 Circumstances

Circumstances vary by incident but share common themes: sightings reported by trained observers (airline pilots, cabin crew) or ground witnesses; no conventional aircraft explanations; some reports include multiple observers and video evidence, while others rely on a single observer. Timelines span from at least October 2023 through January 2025, with durations ranging from about 1 minute to 30 minutes. Most Massachusetts reports are logged with NUFORC or local K-12/patch coverage and remain publicly unconfirmed pending review by investigators. Official channels (e.g., Navy reporting guidelines) acknowledge that such observations are taken seriously and investigated where appropriate.

👤 Physical Description

Objects described include: circular/orb shapes with lights; star-shaped or star-like appearances; diamond-shaped diamond-like forms; green light formations; and other luminous phenomena with or without aura/haze. Some witnesses report hum or vibration and lack of conventional propulsion signatures; motion ranges include hovering, sudden movements, and slow or rapid traverses. Color descriptions include white, green, and multi-color glints. In one well-documented case, a formation of green lights passed overhead; in another, a star-shaped object was reported from a cockpit.

ℹ️ Additional Details

Sources indicate multiple MA sightings across 2023–2025, with NUFORC and Patch coverage; no official confirmation of extraterrestrial origin; ongoing cataloging and investigation by amateur and professional networks; the broader U.S. context includes ongoing Navy/UAP reporting guidelines and media coverage (e.g., 60 Minutes discussions). Ground and air witnesses occasionally provide video or corroborating testimony, but verification remains challenging due to observational ambiguity and atmospheric effects.
