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]

Although often viewed as abnormal, UFO sightings are reported frequently.[8][9] During the United States' initial 1947 wave, over 800 sightings were reported in the news.[10] The British Ministry of Defence receives 100s of reports each year.[11] In Brazil, pilots alone report dozens of annual sightings.[12][13] A small portion of reported sightings have lasting cultural significance,[14] interpreted through the cultural and technological expectations of the time.[15]

Antiquity

Date Name Location Description
c. 1450 BC Thutmose III Jebel Barkal Stele •AFAF, Ancient Egypt; Jebel Barkal, Lower Egypt After conquering the ancient Nubian city of Napata, Thutmose III had a stele erected at the Temple of Amun, beneath the Jebel Barkal outcropping.[16] The stele describes how "a star came down" to set fire to Thutmose's adversaries.[17][18] This has been cited by ufologists via the purported Tulli Papyrus, likely a fraud.[19] This alleged translation—published in issue 41 of the Fortean Society's magazine Doubt—used such Fortean tropes as "circles of fire" and fish that "fell down from the sky".[20]: 369–372 
218 BC Ships in the sky •EUEU, Roman Republic; Rome, Italia During the build-up to the Second Punic War, Livy recorded prodigies in the winter sky, including navium speciem de caelo adfulsisse ("phantom ships had been seen gleaming in the sky").[21][22]
76 BC Spark from a falling star •ASAS, Roman Republic; Asia According to Pliny the Elder, a spark fell from a star and grew as it descended until it appeared to be the size of the Moon. It then ascended and transformed into a torch. Astronomer Richard Stothers interpreted the report as a description of a bolide.[23][24]
73 BC Flame-like wine-jars from the sky •ASAS, Roman Republic; Phrygia, Asia According to Plutarch, a Roman army commanded by Lucullus was about to begin a battle with Mithridates VI of Pontus when "the sky burst asunder, and a huge, flame-like body was seen to fall between the two armies". Plutarch reports the shape of the object as like a wine-jar (pithos).[25][22]
AD 65 Sky army •ASAS, Roman Empire; Judaea Romano-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus reported chariots "hurtling through the clouds" prior to the First Jewish–Roman War.[22]
AD 196 Angel hair •EUEU, Roman Empire; Rome, Italia Historian Cassius Dio described a "fine rain resembling silver [that] descended from a clear sky upon the Forum of Augustus." He wrote that he was able to plate some of his bronze coins, but four days later, the silvery coating was gone.[22]
AD c. 740 Air ship of Clonmacnoise •EUEU, Ireland; Teltown in County Meath, and Clonmacnoise in County Offaly Several sets of Irish annals, those of Ulster, Tigernach, Clonmacnoise, and the Four Masters, have entries to the effect that "ships with their crews were seen in the air".[26]

In the 2000s, the Tunguska Space Phenomenon, a team of Russian ufologists, explored the area to search for remnants of a supposed alien spaceship, and they may have found pieces of these discarded rocket components.[41][42]
1909 New Zealand airship sightings •OCOC, New Zealand; Otago In August 1909, moving and whirring lights were reported in the sky around Otago. In the following months, many sightings were reported across New Zealand with varying descriptions of the craft and crew.[43][44][45]

Catholic bishop José Alves Correia da Silva declared the miracle "worthy of belief" on 13 October 1930, and the primarily Catholic witnesses described the event in religious terms. Despite the many photographers present in the crowd, no unusual photo of the sun was captured. Later, Jacques Vallée, Joaquim Fernandes and Fina d'Armada would interpret it as a mass UFO sighting.[46][47][48][49]
1926 c. 1926 Nicholas Roerich UFO sighting •ASAS, Tibet During his Asian expedition, Russian theosophist Nicholas Roerich reported an oval in the sky above his caravan, which was later interpreted as a "flying saucer" by Roerich's Russian followers.[50][51][52]

The aircraft was initially suspected to be a failed launch from the German "Die Glocke" experimental aircraft. In 2000, Roberto Pinotti published material regarding the so-called "Fascist UFO Files", which dealt with a flying saucer that had crashed near Milan in 1933, and of the subsequent investigation by a never mentioned before Cabinet RS/33, that allegedly was authorized by Benito Mussolini, and headed by the Nobel scientist Guglielmo Marconi. A spaceship was allegedly stored in the hangars of the SIAI-Marchetti in Vergiate near Milan.[53][54]

1942-02-24 Battle of Los Angeles •NANA, United States; Los Angeles, California Just months after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, U.S. radar stations picked up an unidentified aerial object in the early morning.

1945 Trinity UFO Case •NANA, United States; New Mexico In 2003, two men began telling conflicting accounts of an avocado-shaped craft piloted by insectoid aliens crashing at the site of the first atomic bomb detonation.

1946 The Ghost Rockets •EUEU, Scandinavia and other parts of Europe Thousands of UFO sightings were reported over Europe. Due in part to concerns that foreign governments were testing recovered experimental German technology, the Swedish and Greek governments investigated the reports separately.[65]
1946-05-18 Ängelholm UFO memorial •EUEU, Sweden; Ängelholm, Kristianstads County Swedish entrepreneur Gösta Carlsson, attributed his success to a 1946 UFO encounter, that he commemorated with a concrete monument. Independent investigations did not verify his account.[66][67][68]

Bill Bequette of the East Oregonian, who first interviewed Arnold, summarized the sighting as, "nine saucer-like aircraft flying in formation." This introduced the term flying saucers, and Arnold's sighting sparked an explosion of UFO reports around the country.[69][70][71][72]
1947 c. 1947 1947 flying disc craze •NANA, United States; Washington and other states After the Kenneth Arnold sighting was reported in the news, over 800 similar sightings were reported throughout 1947.[73][74]

1947-07-07 Rhodes UFO photographs •NANA, United States; Phoenix, Arizona Inventor and amateur astronomer William Albert Rhodes took photographs of what he described as a silent grey object that appeared after a thunderstorm.

1947-07-08 The Roswell Incident •NANA, United States; about 30 mi. north of Roswell, New Mexico Walter Haut, a United States Army Air Forces spokesperson, issued a press release announcing the "capture" of a "flying saucer".

In 1994, the Air Force attributed the incident to the previously classified Project Mogul.[80]

1948-01-07 Mantell UFO incident •NANA, United States; Kentucky Captain Thomas F. Mantell, a Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, died in the crash of his P-51 Mustang fighter plane near Franklin, Kentucky, United States, after being sent in pursuit of an unidentified flying object. While following the object, he climbed beyond 25,000 feet (7,600 m) and blacked out from a lack of oxygen. The military later identified the craft he was pursuing as likely a Skyhook weather balloon.[85][86][87]
1948-03-25 Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax •NANA, United States; New Mexico Conmen Silas Newton and Leo Gebauer sold "magnetic oil-detecting machines" based on the story that they had replicated technology from a crashed spaceship.

1948-07-24 Chiles-Whitted UFO encounter •NANA, United States; Montgomery, Alabama Clarence Chiles and John Whitted, American commercial pilots, reported that their airplane had nearly collided with a UFO near Montgomery.

1948-10-01 Gorman dogfight •NANA, United States; North Dakota A US Air Force pilot sighted and pursued a UFO for 27 minutes over Fargo, North Dakota. According to US Air Force officer Edward J.

Gordon Cooper, one of the original Project Mercury astronauts, witnessed a type of metallic craft without wings flying over Germany in the 1950s. At the time, Cooper believed these to be Soviet aircraft. His attitude later changed after an incident at Edwards Air Force Base. Cooper sent a crew of James Bittick and Jack Gettys out to a dry lake bed to set up data-recording photography equipment. Cooper said the two men, both familiar with experimental aircraft, came back shaken and talking about witnessing a wingless aircraft with retractable legs silently land and take off near them.
