All Sightings

¹ SkyWatch is a fascinating project that compiles and visualizes a vast amount of data on reported UAP sightings. While it provides a valuable tool for exploring these intriguing phenomena, it's important to remember that SkyWatch does not, and cannot, definitively prove or disprove the existence of extraterrestrial life.

The database captures subjective eyewitness accounts, which can be influenced by a variety of factors: misidentification of known objects, atmospheric conditions, limitations of human perception, and even hoaxes. Many reported UAPs can likely be attributed to more mundane explanations, such as:

• Commercial or military aircraft: Unfamiliar aircraft or unusual flight paths can easily be misconstrued.
• Satellites and space debris: Reflecting sunlight can create unexpected visual effects, especially at night.
• Drones: The increasing prevalence of drones, both commercial and private, adds to the complexity of airspace.
• Weather phenomena: Unusual cloud formations, atmospheric distortions, or even meteorological balloons can create perplexing sightings.
