2025: January UAP & Alien Sightings
January 2025 was recorded as the “high-water month” for sightings in the first half of the year, with MUFON and NUFORC reporting a significant surge in both incoming and “unknown” cases. Despite the winter weather, reports poured in globally, with New York alone logging over 60 incidents of glowing orbs, silent triangles, and fast-moving disks. This month also saw the release of critical government research, including Canada’s first official UFO report in decades, which called for a dedicated federal research body to study these phenomena scientifically. From “metallic man” sightings to high-speed aerial maneuvers near military installations, January 2025 has set a profound tone for the year’s ongoing quest for transparency.
