UFOIndex.com UFO & UAP Sighting Database

I saw something in 1998 that changed my life.
You might have too.

Three amber orbs, 50 feet away, moving with impossible intelligence. That encounter led me to build this database—a place where witnesses are believed, not dismissed.

Why Report Your Sighting?

Having a close encounter can fundamentally change your view of our place in the universe. Unfortunately, the experience often leaves you with more questions than answers. You may feel that no one is taking you seriously—that you had this world-changing experience, yet the world keeps going as if nothing happened.

There are others out there who have experienced what you have. Bringing these witnesses together validates what we know to be true. Your report adds to our collective understanding and helps remove the stigma around this phenomenon.

We are not a government agency. Your information stays private. We will never bury or dismiss your report.

A Message from Our Founder

"We're not crazy. It's amazing, and strange, but it's happening."

In the late 1990s, I watched three amber orbs pass over row homes, descend into a field bordered by pine trees—hovering just three feet off the ground as if searching for something—then ascend toward a full moon and vanish. The encounter lasted over five minutes. They were within 50 feet of me. I later learned these matched descriptions of the "foo fighters" that WWII pilots had reported decades earlier.

Almost 30 years later, during the New Jersey drone incident of December 2024, I had another encounter—again within 50 feet. That experience convinced me the "drones" were a cover story.

I built UFOIndex.com because I don't trust government databases with this information. They have reasons—whether technological, political, or something more troubling—for keeping the truth from the public. This site exists to collect and preserve witness accounts without gatekeepers. Our goal is simple: gather so many credible reports that the phenomenon can no longer be ignored.

If you've seen something, you're not alone. Your report matters. Tell us what you witnessed.
