π Description
NUFORC (National UFO Reporting Center) data indicate 2,174 UFO/UAP sightings were reported in the United States from January 1 to June 30, 2025, with NUFORC estimating more than 3,000 reports for the first six months. The Hill reported these figures; NUFORC notes that many entries reflect events from years or decades earlier due to stigma around UFOs, and that roughly 5% of sightings are ultimately reported. This is a compilation of many separate reports from civilians, air-traffic controllers, police, and military personnel, not a single witnessed event.
π Circumstances
Reports are voluntary submissions to NUFORC and may be unverified; the center compiles and sometimes investigates cases. Many entries reflect older events; the data describe a broad national pattern rather than one incident.
π€ Physical Description
No single physical object; reports describe a variety of shapes (orbs, spheres, triangles, disks) and behaviors, with no consistent physical description across all sightings.
βΉοΈ Additional Details
The figures reflect the first six months of 2025 and are reported by NUFORC; the data have drawn coverage from outlets like WGOW and Fox News; the number of reported sightings is believed to substantially undercount actual events (estimates around 5% reporting rate). The topic has gained renewed public and media attention amid broader interest in UAPs.
