#Redirect [[List of UFO sightings]]
{{Refimprove|date=July 2007}}

This is a '''list of alleged entities''' reportedly witnessed, [[Close encounter|encountered]] or speculated to be associated with [[UFO]]s. UFOs are apparent flying objects which cannot be identified in terms of known [[human]] creations or natural phenomena even after rigorous attempts at identification. The description of many of these UFOs as resembling flying machines with capabilities far greater than publicly known human technology has fueled speculation that some UFOs are spacecraft piloted by [[extraterrestrial]]s.

While this extraterrestrial hypothesis has seen some support among the general public, [[Ufology|some paranormal researchers]] have postulated extra-dimensional, psychical or religious explanations for their origin. Mainstream scientists regard the study of UFOs and related subjects to be [[pseudoscience]].
