UFO Sightings Map: Every Reported Encounter
UfoMap aggregates UFO and UAP sighting reports from NUFORC, MUFON, Project Blue Book, and global databases into a single interactive map. Timeline filtering, cluster analysis, declassified case files. Free to browse, $29.99 lifetime for Pro features.
Launch the interactive map →Every reporting database, one interactive map
UFO sighting data is scattered across a dozen databases, each maintained by a different organization with its own reporting format and geographic focus. NUFORC has the largest US dataset. MUFON has the most deeply investigated cases. GEIPAN (France’s CNES) publishes government-collected reports. The UK MoD released decades of sighting files to the National Archives. Project Blue Book’s 12,618 cases are now declassified. UfoMap aggregates all of it onto a single interactive map with unified filtering — so you can ask a real question like “what were the triangle sightings clustered around NORAD in the late 1980s?” and actually get an answer.
Timeline and cluster analysis
The volume of sightings isn’t flat in time. Major flaps — 1947 Roswell-era, 1952 Washington radar contact wave, 1973 Pascagoula year, 1997 Phoenix Lights, 2019 Nimitz/Gimbal releases — show up as obvious spikes on the timeline. The cluster analysis layer helps distinguish legitimate anomalies from known reporting biases (military testing corridors, airport approach paths, meteor-shower weekends). Filter by shape, duration, and Hynek close-encounter classification to isolate the reports that pattern-match whatever you’re investigating.
Government disclosure era
Since 2021, the US government has officially reported on UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) through AARO, the Senate Intelligence Committee, and the ODNI annual report. UfoMap includes the official government UAP dataset as a distinct layer, so you can see which civilian sightings cluster geographically with documented pilot encounters, radar contacts, and sensor data. Whether you read the disclosure material as evidence of non-human intelligence or as evidence of classified programs, the spatial patterns are worth looking at.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the UFO data come from?
Primary sources: NUFORC (National UFO Reporting Center) with 170,000+ US-centric reports dating to the 1950s, MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) with tens of thousands of investigated cases, and global databases covering UK, Canada, France (GEIPAN), and other national reporting organizations. Declassified Project Blue Book cases are included as a separate historical layer.
How do you handle obvious hoaxes or misidentifications?
We don't filter at the source — every report is plotted as-is — but we expose the original reporting agency's own credibility rating where available (NUFORC and MUFON both assess report quality). Cluster analysis helps identify pattern-of-reporting anomalies like known military exercise corridors, airport approach paths, and meteor-shower weekends, which tend to dominate sighting spikes.
Can I filter by time period, shape, or encounter type?
Yes. Timeline slider lets you isolate any decade or specific years (the 1947 Washington DC wave, the 1952 flap, the 1973 Pascagoula year, the 2019 Nimitz/Tic Tac cluster). Filter by shape (disc, triangle, cigar, orb, etc.), duration, and encounter classification (CE-1 through CE-5 on the Hynek scale). Pro users get advanced search including craft behavior keywords and location-radius filters.
What about modern UAP and government disclosure?
The map includes the official US government UAP reports released since 2021 — AARO's consolidated dataset, the Senate testimony cases, and FOIA'd pilot encounter reports. Mapped alongside civilian sightings, the government UAP layer makes patterns visible that aren't obvious in either dataset alone.
How much does it cost?
$12.99/year or $29.99 lifetime for UFO Pro (advanced search, export, and historical overlays). The SimulationMaps All-Access bundle ($79 lifetime) includes UFO Pro plus every other map in the suite.
$79 once. Every map. Forever.
UfoMap Pro alone is $29.99 lifetime. For $49 more, get Pro on every map in the suite — disasters, volcanoes, asteroids, shipwrecks, climate — plus every new map we ship next.
