Have you ever seen a UFO flying above your head? Do you want to know at what places, at what times do these paranormal vehicles hit our air traffic? If yes, then this article is definitely for you. Here I present Top 5 Websites To Locate UFO Occurrences around the globe.

Tracking The Latest UFO Sightings on Google Maps

When I first found this website, I thought it was a joke. When you visit UFOmaps, you’ll discover a fascinating Google map view with images of flying saucers (representing the latest UFO sightings) spread over the entire map. The sheer number of sightings for each particular year is pretty surprising, but it’s also important to keep in mind that a lot of these sightings are very likely situations where the person reporting saw something terrestrial and just didn’t know what they were looking at.

The cool thing about this resource is that unlike most of the other database sites for the latest UFO sightings, this one offers a graphical representation of those sightings and you can click on any of them to read more about the sighting.

If you click on “Read full report,” you’ll find that most of these sightings come from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), which is a major UFO reporting center and a great resource for data. Unfortunately, while you may find a few sightings across the world, the bulk of the reports come from the United States.

The Biggest UFO Research Organizations

Speaking of NUFORC, they also offer an excellent text-based database search that you can use to dig through many years of sightings reported to them by regular folks just like you.

Peter Davenport is the current NUFORC director and he has done a magnificent job with the design of this main page through the years. When I first became interested in Ufology, I used to just browse through the NUFORC database archives for the latest UFO sightings in my area.  Of course, if you’ve actually seen an object in the sky that you can’t explain – click on the report form and file your own report!

There are also a few other major UFO centers that you’ll want to check out if you’re interested in the latest UFO sighting reports and information – the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). These organizations strive to scientifically examine the phenomenon within a field where scams, hoaxes and con artists are par for the course.

Research Resources for Both Historic Events and Latest UFO Sightings

While the big guys listed above are certainly some of the best resources for current UFO information, there are also some newer or more obscure resources that I’d like to share. A very new UFO database is the JTC UFO database – a user-driven collection of research including newspaper clippings, photos and much more.

What makes this collection so interesting is that you’ll find historic cases dating back to the 1700’s and 1800’s, drawn from resources such as Jacques Vallee’s Passport to Magonia. Sifting through these sightings is a very intriguing experience.

UFOInfo is another great resource – not so much because of its website but because of two specific sections – the Magonia Database and the Humanoid Sighting Listing compiled by Robert Rosales. The Magonia Database is a complete listing of cases that Vallee compiled from throughout an entire century.

The collection is exhaustive and each specific sighting lists the location and about a paragraph worth of details about the event.  The Humanoid Sighting Listings span from 1000BC (seriously) all the way up to 2009 and beyond. Before you laugh, go in and read one or two stories. Many of them read like terrifying ghost stories, and they are especially creepy because the witness insists the story is true.
