UFO TOPLIST
If you were to have an alien encounter, where in the world would you expect it to be?
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs), also known as unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), are a source of mystery and intrigue as cases of potential alien visitors sweep across the globe.
But, where are the best places to go if you wanted to spot a UFO? American non-profit organisation the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) has a bank of data revealing, they feel to be, the most credible or interesting cases.

NUFORC UFO SIGHTINGS
The NUFORC Databank is the largest independently collected set of UFO / UAP sighting reports available on the internet. For 25 years, it has been the go-to resource for researchers and the general public interested in following the most recent first hand UFO witness accounts, or delving into a deep archive of historical reports. The reports are freely available to the public to browse through the indexes below. For any other use, including commercial use, please refer to our Terms of Service at the bottom of the page.
NUFORC staff review each report, and highlight a small subset of what we feel to be the most credible or interesting cases. These tend to be reports from trained observers such as pilots, reports of anomalous structured craft seen at close distances, and reports with interesting and clear video or photographic evidence. To date, reports received since March 2023 have been reviewed for highlighting. We are working our way backwards through older reports to identify more such cases, and will be updating the online database periodically as they are marked. In each report index the highlighted cases are indicated by a yellow background color on the “Open” link.

We saw everything
We are still in shock, upset we didn't record, but now I know you do not think about it in the moment. Large, watched movements from far away wondering what could stop and move and stop the way it was until it was over us. Than we saw it clear as day - jaws dropped. I don't know if cigar shape is exactly the best way to explain it but almost a stretched massive egg. Couldn't see top. Bottom was gray, dark and some lights. No one will ever believe us, but I felt I needed to share.

Incredible
At approximately 21:33, a cylindrical unidentified flying object (UFO) was observed hovering over Antwerp. The object appeared metallic, reflecting ambient city lights, and had a smooth, seamless surface with no visible wings, propellers, or traditional aircraft features. It was estimated to be about 10-15 meters in length and remained stationary for roughly 30 seconds before accelerating eastward at an extraordinary speed, disappearing within seconds.
The object emitted no noise and showed no visible means of propulsion. Some witnesses reported a faint glow or haze surrounding it, suggesting a possible energy field.
Weather Conditions at the Time of Sighting:
•Sky: Clear with minimal cloud cover
•Visibility: Excellent
•Wind: Light breeze from the northeast
•Temperature: Approximately 8°C (46°F)
Additional Notes:
•No known aircraft or drones were reported in the area at the time.

I dont think i was dreaming but i saw two saucers fly towards me from the sky with lights and then an alien appear in my apartment
I had such a weird experience last night and I am so confused.
Lately I have been jokingly testing the waters at night by having meditations where I think about and intentionally ask aliens to come pick me up. Not thinking it would actually happen, but more so “okay Greer, you say people can do this, lets just test it”. Last night, I woke up at 2am and couldn’t sleep so i go to the couch where I set floor pillows in front of my couch and lay to rest there. My couch isnt comfy so i have my floor pillows as a rest spot. At 5am I feel slightly tired so I close my eyes and felt this strange feeling so I kind of peek my eyes open and look out the window. The window is kind of far away from me. And i just hear the wind blowing and then i think in my mind “if there is an alien there, come down and show yourself”. Then all the sudden I see a saucer along with another saucer craft near it fly down incredibly fast, then stop suddenly hovering in the distance. They had lights in the center part of the saucer, it looked silver and shiny. The lights on the center perimeter part of the craft and seemed like they were cycling through different colors. It was red, green, white and blue little lights. I get so startled but I keep looking out the window in curiousness. I practice keeping my calm in stressful situations or even as a tool to have autonomy within dreaming so despite the unsettling sensation I also am incredibly curious to face this without turning away. Then all the sudden a classic alien(big head, large black eyes, greyish body, short slender but a but of a belly stature) just appears on the outside of my window with its face peering at me, then it somehow pops into the other side of the window standing above me on the top part of my couch. They looked like they were wearing a skin tight, slightly shiny black suit and were slightly translucent. I freeze immediately, I feel stunned. It felt like dream paralysis, but different in sensation. Like I was being prevented from moving not a ‘I cant move because i am scared’ situation. I try to yell out “what do you want?”, and then remember having the thought ‘This being probably is communicating through the mind anyway why are you speaking’. Despite that I keep repeating along with “are you taking me? Don’t go”. This being almost felt annoyed or confused or even surprised that I was able to get out words while being paralyzed. Immediately after that thought I feel myself sliding off my floor cushions not by my own accord and dragging across the floor towards the middle of the room. The whole time I am trying to yell out these questions barely able to get the words out and it is definitely a struggle but I kept persisting. I say then “where are we going?” and try to grab on to stuff not to keep me from sliding but to ground myself if I am awake or not. Usually when I lucid dream I look at my hands and touch things to let myself know I am dreaming. I feel like I am trying to push through some force to move my head and my arms and am unable to look at my hands but I just barely move enough to touch my coffee table and get this startled feeling of ‘you arent dreaming’. I then black out and have a memory of floating in a white light outside, headed into this saucer. I black out again when I reach the top circular shape which is so incredibly bright it feels like I blip into it, and then cut into being in a completely white space within the craft. There are several people and aliens sitting together around a long rounded table(think skinny bar type table the has a space in the center, that goes around the whole room in a roundish space. But the table is not perfectly circular, just curving around the room). Everything is shiny glossy white, the tables, chairs, the entire room, the clothes people are wearing is all white. It almost reminded me of how the spaceship looked in the movie “hitchhikers guide to the galaxy”. I am in the center of this room with everyone around me and I feel suspended in the air and barely able to speak or move. There is this old man with a beard and a mustache that looks strange(like bigger eyes) who is asking me questions that I cant recall but I remember answering. I remember being able to slightly look around but not able to move and barely able to project my voice with their questioning. My memory cuts off again and I felt immediately pulled back into my body back on the floor pillows just completely distraught. I feel paralyzed again for a moment and my arms are like weirdly on my stomach(like classic corpse pose) and I am on my back. I feel exhausted and that whole time laying there I try and replay what I experienced so I can remember the details before I fall asleep. It was almost frantically feeling like I need to recall this. I remember wanting to look at my phone to see the time but can’t, I was so confused about what time it was and how much time had passed. Eventually I do fall asleep and I dont dream the rest of the morning which is also unusual for me. The weirdest part about the cutting in an out of memories is that I am not recalling them back and the memory is being spotty, but its like the progression in that moment was spotty. Almost as if I was blipping to and from those points of what I remember.
I have no idea if this was a dream or not I am super disoriented from the whole thing, it felt so real. And I dont have dreams that start at the beginning of my sleep its always just before I wake up in points of the night. So it just felt disorienting. I also remember explicitly that I was struggling to sleep and was still awake when this occurred because i was listening to the wind. I have been hyper fixating on aliens lately more than my normal so this definitely could have been a dream. My dreams can be very vivid but also I lucid dream daily so generally I know without a doubt when it is a dream every time I am in a dream and especially post dream when I wake up. This was so unlike my dreams. I dont progress through dreams like that where it cuts in and cuts out of experiences. My dreaming is always naturally progressing like a movie and I generally remember that progression especially while in the dream. It is not until later that parts of the dream fade away and the fading away can usually be brought back when I focus on the progression of that dream. Dream or not, very weird experience that I wanted to speak on and needed someone to know that this experience occurred.
I have been reading a lot about psionic abilities, and have been keeping up with government disclosures as well as whistleblowers regarding aliens. Greer's documentaries about contacting aliens has been something I recently have been interested in, so I have been also having meditations at night almost jokingly calling out to aliens. I do it as a test because I think from a scientific standpoint methods being spoken about on anything should be explored, especially if something is unknown. So I have been doing this as a “okay Greer you claim this can happen, we have whistleblowers that claim this is a program that exists, lets actually test these claims”. I know all of this sounds so fringe, and I hope whoever is having to read this at least gets some enjoyment from it because its a totally fantastical sounding experience. I dont know how to explain it without sounding like a complete nut. That being said I am comfortable with knowing I had an unexplainable experience that I can’t tell if it was a dream or not, but I will say I always know when I am dreaming and when I am awake which is the most concerning part. That being said, I am assured in speaking about it from a place of “I don’t know what that was but it was incredibly strange and I need to tell someone about this”. I am also aware that my dreams are very sensitive to my reality so it could have very well been a dream based on leaning into all the information I am digesting out there right now. But this felt so different and I really needed to speak on it.

Blackhawk helicopter (later confirmed with public flight data) pursuing a brilliant white orb.
Based on the sort of things I had read about the "drone" incidents a few months back, my sense is that this sighting of mine is related. There was nothing exactly cinematic about what I saw, nothing flamboyantly UFO-esque... but what I saw was absolutely uncanny and singular in my experience. I have no theories as to what it was that I saw...
After posting this account on reddit, a user was able to find the helicopter's flight data on a publicly accessible tracking website. That flight path is seen here at this link:

At around 6:35pm I heard an unusually disruptive helicopter sound through closed windows while eating dinner with my wife and kids. I went outside to the back porch and, a few seconds later, saw what seemed to undoubtedly be a helicopter (judging by the rotor sounds) and red blinking lights. Nothing unusual just yet.
Now, the first few seconds that I was out there, I could hear it, but it was visually obstructed by the row of 70ft pine trees that line the back edge of my backyard. I mention only to help give you the same sense of its height in the sky and its distance from me that I got being there, familiar with my surroundings. The line of trees was approximately 60 yards back from where I was standing.
It was flying west to east over my yard and had just visually crested the row of trees that line the back edge of my backyard. The helicopter was considerably higher than the tops of those trees, but not nearly as high as the airplanes that typically fly around here. It seemed more like 'news-camera helicopter' or 'suburban police helicopter' height if there is such a thing. I'm a layperson, but this seemed like a typical low (but not blowing the trees around low) helicopter height.
I watched for 3-5 seconds as the helicopter proceeded in a straight line overhead. By the time the helicopter was about halfway (from my perspective) across the sky above my yard (having visually come from behind that line of pines initially, and now 1/2 of the way towards my house in the sky), I had a basic sense of the helicopters relative distance/height/size and I was not particularly interested in what I saw. It was not remarkable - just a helicopter. But here's where it got weird and why my sense of where this thing was in the sky became cemented in my mind...
After the first few seconds of watching the helicopter alone move across the sky over my yard, an extremely bright, warm white ball of light suddenly lit up at what seemed to be 10-15 (helicopter) lengths out, directly in front of the helicopter and in the direction of its flight path. I am certain, based on my sense of the sky in that moment, the height of the helicopter, speed of its transit across my yard up to that point, and the distance between it and the sudden light out front, that the source of the white light was a separate object... and that the helicopter was pursuing this object.
Despite the mundane description (helicopter in night sky and a white light), it was quite shocking to witness. I let out a scream of sorts and stood slack jawed until my elementary aged son came running out to see. He saw it for a few seconds before the procession moved out of view over my house (which we were still standing right next to). After an excited moment of explaining what we saw to my wife, who had stayed at the table with my daughter, my son realized we should go to the front of the house to see where it went and if we could still see it.
We ran through the house and out onto our driveway and were able to catch the last few seconds of the transit of these two objects before they were obstructed by the trees across the street.
The white ball of light was still illuminated. It was much brighter and larger than other lights I've seen on planes etc. It was a different quality and it was on its own. It almost seemed like a ball of light and not like a spot light or directional light if that makes any sense. The light itself was remarkable. Seeing it followed by a helicopter was wild. But the thing that was so striking was that it was totally unlit, invisible in the sky until just a few seconds after I came outside and started looking up…. And then WHAM! So wild.
I'd say that I was able to see both objects together for a total of 10 seconds split between the time it first lit up in the backyard and then the last few moments on the other side of the house. A few more seconds in the backyard and totally unobstructed and then a few more seconds in the front where it was already only partially visible.
Angle of elevation varied as it flew over head.
