Shapes in the Sky
UAP sightings have reported various shapes over the years. Here are some common UAP shapes reported:
Disc or Saucer: This is perhaps the most iconic UAP shape, often described as a flat, circular object with a domed top. However, sightings of disc-shaped UAPs have become less frequent in recent years.
Cigar or Cylinder: Cigar-shaped UAPs resemble elongated cylinders or tubes. They are reported less frequently than other shapes but have been observed on occasion.
Triangle: Triangular UAPs have been reported relatively frequently, often with lights at the corners. These sightings sometimes correlate with military aircraft, such as stealth bombers.
Sphere or Orb: Spherical or orb-shaped UAPs are reported fairly regularly. They can be solid or translucent and are often described as glowing or emitting light.
Elongated or Oval: Some UAPs are described as elongated or oval-shaped, resembling an oval rather than a perfect circle. These sightings are relatively common.
Irregular Shapes: UAPs with irregular shapes, such as those described as amorphous or constantly changing, are less common but have been reported.
Other Shapes: Witnesses have reported a wide range of other shapes, including diamond, and boomerang. These are less common and often considered fringe cases.
It’s important to emphasize that the relative frequency of these shapes can vary by region and time period, and many UAP sightings remain unexplained or lack sufficient evidence to determine their nature.
