List of reported UFO sightings

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The shapes reported as UFOs include orbs, triangles, other shapes, fireballs, discs, lights, eggs, cigars, changing shapes, rectangles, and diamonds, from most to least common. Full data for the infographic is in the linked footnote.
Most commonly reported shapes in UFO sightings gathered by the National UFO Reporting Center Online Database (NUFORC)[1]

This is a list of notable reported sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and related claims of close encounters or abductions. UFOs are generally considered to include any perceived aerial phenomenon that cannot be immediately identified or explained. Upon investigation, most UFOs are identified as known objects or atmospheric phenomena, while a small number remain unexplained.[2][3][4] UFOs have been referred to using a range terms including the more specific "flying saucer" and the more general "unidentified anomalous phenomena" (UAP). The term "UAP" is sometimes used to avoid cultural associations with UFO conspiracy theories.[5][6][7]
