  • Maryland has become a global UFO hotspot with 2,000 UFO sightings since 1995.  Here's what we know:
  1. These nearly 2000 sightings are categorized in a database
  2. The UFO's had different shapes including circles, ovals and diamonds and appeared to be orbs, discs and fireballs
  3. The sightings continue as very recently multiple reports of glowing orbs in the sky over Ocean City, MD have been filed
  4. There is no explanation from federal officials as to why Maryland appears to be a favorite cruising destination for UFO's - perhaps it's the oceanfront beauty and woodsy countryside 
  5. This year, California, too, has had unprecedented reports of sightings - 15,000 reports on 200 UFO's
  6. These Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) have the interest of NASA, which is putting a lot of effort and expertise behind a new scientific effort to identify the many reports of UFO sightings in the US.
