10 Most Credible UFO Sightings of 2025
By Goldsea Staff | 27 Sep, 2025

These reports of UFO/UAP sightings of 2025 are deemed the most credible by Grok.

Growing numbers of people are feeling more comfortable talking about what may be the last taboo subject of human civilization — the presence of UFOs/UAPs across our planet.  That's due in part to the US Congress taking in whistleblower testimony from credible sources with access to deep-black government-funded efforts to examine and reverse-engineer downed UFOs, combined with new regulations requiring military aviators to report sightings that, in some cases, have become routine.

Some recent sightings are of objects with little resemblance to the flying saucers, deltas or Vs that have become the norm.  Skyfaring objects resembling giant jellyfish, metallic reflecting spheres and metallic humanoid shapes have been seen and videotaped by multiple witnesses.

Rather than scour the internet to compile credible reports of sightings, we took the lazy way and asked a couple of our AI assistants to perform that task.  The one by Grok appeared both more sensational and more detailed in response to our prompt:

10 Most Credible UFO/UAP Sightings Reported in 2025

Based on reports from official sources like the National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC), the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), congressional hearings, and verified eyewitness videos with high engagement or scientific scrutiny, here is a curated list of the 10 most credible UAP sightings from 2025. Credibility is assessed by factors such as multiple witnesses, video evidence, military involvement, and lack of prosaic explanations (e.g., drones or aircraft). These represent a fraction of over 2,000 reported incidents in the first half of the year alone, with many remaining unexplained.

1  September 9, 2025  Yemen (near U.S. military operations)  Video footage shown in U.S. congressional hearing depicted a Hellfire missile fired at a spherical "mystery orb" UAP, which appeared to withstand the impact without damage and continued flight. Journalist George Knapp described it as "smacking into that UFO, and bouncing right off."  Presented as evidence in official House Task Force hearing on UAP transparency; involves military radar and weapons data; no prosaic explanation from Pentagon's AARO.

2  September 2025 (ongoing hearings)  Various U.S. military sites  Multiple veterans testified before Congress about UAP encounters, including a 2023 ocean-emerging "self-luminous" object that joined three others and accelerated away at high speed; a 2003 sighting of an approaching UAP prompting screams of "It's coming right for us!"; and a hovering craft over a U.S. Air Force base that withstood a missile strike.  Testimonies from active-duty and veteran military personnel under oath; AARO investigations dismissed some but confirmed anomalous behaviors; highlights lack of transparency from Pentagon.

3  March 25, 2025  Chester, New York, US  AA dog walker reported two extremely fast white orbs flying in close formation at dusk, performing maneuvers inconsistent with aircraft or drones. Part of 66 UAP reports in New York state in early 2025.  Documented by NUFORC with detailed witness account; urban-rural pattern matches other verified reports; no radar or visual misidentification.

4  September 17, 2025  Maysan, Iraq  Nighttime footage captured a "Jellyfish" UAP—a translucent, tentacled object with glowing appendages—hovering silently before descending. Similar to prior Iraq sightings over U.S. bases.Multiple videos from locals; high engagement and cross-verification with daytime "Jellyfish" reports; dismissed drone theories due to silent, organic-like movement.

5  September 14, 2025  Unspecified site, Saudi Arabia  A "Jellyfish" UAP similar to Iraq sighting, hovering with dangling appendages; speculated as advanced tech but ruled out as conventional mail delivery systems.  Local TikTok video with clear footage; matches multi-witness patterns in Middle East; analyzed by UFO researchers for anomalous propulsion.

6  August 11, 2025  Utah, USA  Viral video showed a "metallic man" or humanoid figure hovering silently in clouds, resembling a pareidolia but with consistent metallic sheen and levitation.  High-resolution footage from multiple angles; millions of views with expert analysis ruling out hoax; aligns with orb/humanoid hybrid reports to NUFORC.

7  July 2025 (mid-month)  Kingsville, Maryland, USA  A Tic-Tac-shaped UAP was filmed moving erratically westward at 10:36 PM, accelerating rapidly without visible propulsion.  Eyewitness video with timestamp; resembles Navy-confirmed 2004 Tic-Tac; submitted to NUFORC and AARO for review.

8  June 10, 2025  Yumbo, Colombia (rural area)  A farmer captured a close-up of a silent, reflective silver sphere hovering over cornfields for 3 minutes, reflecting sunlight without rotor noise.  High-definition video from ground level; multiple witnesses; part of AARO's 171 unexplained cases exhibiting non-human tech behaviors.

9  May 23, 2025  Hasnabad, West Bengal, India  Residents reported multicolored blinking lights hovering for 10 minutes before vanishing; captured on phone cameras.  Group sighting in rural area; aligns with global orb reports; investigated by local authorities with no aircraft correlation.

10  July 14, 2025  Zimbabwe  Filmmaker Andrew Sier White's timelapse and real-time footage showed multiple star-like objects beyond Earth's atmosphere switching on/off and moving against the stellar background.  Professional astrophotography equipment; no satellite matches; shared with astronomers for peer review, ruling out lens flares.
