More People Are Seeing and Reporting UFOs

More People Are Seeing and Reporting UFOs Posted: 12 Sep 2014 03:00 AM PDT UFO Photo taken in the UK Aug 2014 Have we been seeing more visits from extraterrestrial visitors, or are more people just letting their imaginations run wild? It seems like that’s the question of the day, as UFO sightings were up in some states, with 285 sightings being reported across seven states over just the month of August. The news came to us by way of OpenMinds, which pointed to a new report from the Mutual UFO Network on the number of sightings in August of 2014. The states reporting the highest number of UFOs for August were California, Washington, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, Colorado, Indiana and New Jersey. Seven states, though, combined for an impressive 285 UFO sightings for the month. Those were California, Texas, New York, Michigan, Florida, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. California led the way with 99 UFO sightings reported by itself, nearly half of the spike in what MUFON calls UFO Alert 3 states. So, what were are people saying they see when they report UFOs? The most commonly reported UFO was the spherical type, with 179 such cases being reported in August. Others report seeing circular UFOs, star-shaped UFOs, and triangular UFOs. Other shapes include discs, ovals, fireballs, cylinders, cigars, and teardrops. There were even a few Saturn-like UFOs, though we don’t know if observers were looking through a telescope at the time they saw those. It’s not just UFO sightings, though; MUFON also says people reported 28 occurrences of a UFO taking off, hovering, or landing near them. In one case, an observer said they even observed an “entity” entering or exiting a craft.
