In the first half of 2025, New York City recorded 66 sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), according to reports from the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC).
The sightings, which occurred between January and June, included reports of sphere-shaped objects, along with other unusual aerial phenomena.
These incidents, documented across various parts of the city, are part of a broader trend of increased UAP reports.
The most common UAP forms reported were spheres, followed by orbs and triangles, with 65% of the cases involving lights in the sky.
The AARO has not ruled out the possibility of extraterrestrial, domestic, or technological origins for these objects.
In the same period, the U.S. Department of Defense registered 708 new UAP reports, with 49 in space and new ocean sightings.
The data from these cases will be compared with existing UAP data to identify patterns and trends.
One of the most unusual incidents occurred on March 25, 2025, in Chester, where a witness reported two bright spheres around 6:00 PM.
The analysis of these cases may provide valuable insights into the nature of these unidentified objects, potentially helping to understand their origins and purpose.
The UAP sightings in New York City continue to generate interest and concern among residents and authorities.
