📍 Location

📝 Description

Comprehensive update: Publicly available data indicate that during 2019 there were 72 reports of unexplained sky phenomena in Virginia and 1 in Washington, DC, per the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC). The most recent report cited in June 2019 described a 'good sized yellowish orb of light' that moved slowly across the sky at cloud level in Chesapeake, VA, and then blinked on and off before disappearing. There have been no widely publicized official confirmations or debunkings of these specific sightings since then, and NUFORC continues to catalog reports from that year. The event is presented here as a historical snapshot of 2019 UAP reporting in Virginia/DC.

🔍 Circumstances

Reported in 2019 amid wider media discussion of unidentified aerial phenomena and Navy pilot encounters with fast-moving objects. The Patch article analyzed NUFORC data to summarize Virginia and DC sightings for the year up to that point; the most recent explicit report cited occurred on June 17, 2019 in Chesapeake, VA. Reports were consumer-sourced and unverified in the sense of official confirmation; NUFORC maintains the public database of submitted sightings.

👤 Physical Description

A yellowish orb of light, described as a solid orb moving slowly at cloud level, which then blinked on and off before disappearing.

ℹ️ Additional Details

Counts (72 in Virginia and 1 in DC) were derived from NUFORC data as referenced by Patch in June 2019. The description from the Chesapeake sighting provides the specific visual characteristics and a brief observation duration, but no corroborating video/photo or official verification. The broader context involves ongoing discussions about UAPs but no formal conclusions about these specific Virginia/DC events.
