Well hey, E.T.: Cities across the Carolinas report many UFO sightings, new study says

📍 Location

📝 Description

As of December 13, 2025, there are ongoing reports of unidentified aerial phenomena in the Carolinas, reflecting a broader national pattern of sightings. However, there is no credible, independently verified study confirming a spike specific to the Carolinas, and no evidence has been published that these events are of extraterrestrial origin. UAP investigations conducted by U.S. government bodies and independent databases show that most sightings are unconfirmed or attributable to misidentifications or natural phenomena. North Carolina and South Carolina appear frequently in NUFORC data and in regional media coverage, but these sources describe reports without verifying extraordinary claims or linking them to alien technology.

🔍 Circumstances

Sightings are typically reported at night across urban and coastal areas, often involving bright lights or glowing objects. Reports vary in shape and duration, with some witnesses claiming quick movements or hovering; many incidents remain unverified and lack corroboration from independent observers or sensor data.

👤 Physical Description

Reported objects have included lights, disks, and occasionally triangular shapes; descriptions vary widely between sightings, and there is no consistent physical profile across cases.

ℹ️ Additional Details

The headline referenced appears to be unverified by credible outlets. For concrete updates, please provide a date and location of a specific sighting to narrow the search. Government and independent reviews indicate no confirmed extraterrestrial origin for UAPs to date.
