Top Verified UFO Incidents of 2025: A Year in Review

As we wrap up 2025, it's clear this year has seen a notable uptick in credible UFO—now more commonly termed UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena)—reports. Drawing from official testimonies, military data, and cross-verified eyewitness accounts, I've compiled a timeline of the most substantiated incidents. These are based on evidence presented in congressional hearings, NUFORC documentation, AARO analyses, and expert investigations, steering clear of unverified speculation. For more details, check the sources linked inline.

Why 2025 Stood Out

Reports surged to over 2,000 in the U.S. alone, with patterns linking sightings to military zones and nuclear sites (source). Global trends included orb-shaped objects and unusual maneuvers defying known tech (source). Government bodies like AARO investigated hundreds, deeming many unexplained (source).

This post focuses on cases with multiple witnesses, video evidence, or official scrutiny.

Timeline of Key Verified Incidents

  • March 25, 2025: Chester, New York, USA
    A dog walker observed two fast-moving white orbs in close formation at dusk, executing maneuvers inconsistent with drones or aircraft. This was one of 66 early-year reports in New York, documented with a detailed account ruling out misidentification (source) (source).

  • May 23, 2025: Hasnabad, West Bengal, India
    Residents spotted multicolored blinking lights hovering for about 10 minutes before vanishing. Captured on multiple phones, the incident prompted local authority investigations with no matching aircraft records. It aligns with global orb patterns (source).

  • June 10, 2025: Yumbo, Colombia
    A farmer filmed a silent, reflective silver sphere hovering over cornfields for three minutes, reflecting sunlight without any noise or visible propulsion. Multiple witnesses corroborated the close-up video, part of AARO's unexplained cases showing non-human behaviors (source).

  • July (mid-month), 2025: Kingsville, Maryland, USA
    A Tic-Tac-shaped UAP was recorded moving erratically westward at night, accelerating rapidly without propulsion signatures. The timestamped eyewitness video resembles Navy-confirmed encounters, submitted to NUFORC and AARO (source).

  • September 9, 2025: Near U.S. Military Operations, Yemen
    Video from a congressional hearing showed a Hellfire missile striking a spherical "mystery orb" UAP, which absorbed the impact undamaged and continued flying. Described by journalist George Knapp, it involved military radar data with no prosaic explanation from the Pentagon (source).

  • September 17, 2025: Maysan, Iraq
    Nighttime footage captured a translucent "Jellyfish" UAP with glowing appendages hovering silently before descending. Similar to prior base sightings, videos from locals dismissed drone theories due to its organic-like, silent movement (source).

What This Means for UFO Research

These incidents highlight ongoing anomalies, from resilient orbs to silent hoverers, urging more transparency. While 2025 didn't yield definitive answers, the evidence pushes science forward (source). Stay tuned to iufodb.com for updates.
