UFO Sightings Skyrocket Into 2012
During the first week of 2012, UFO reports streamed in from around the world as numerous eyewitnesses described and videotaped strange things in the sky.
Whether they were balloons, conventional aircraft or misidentified astronomical objects, the new year of UFO sightings is off and running as the worldwide proliferation of digital video cameras and phone cams makes it easier than ever to photograph unusual sights in the sky above us. The Colorado-based Mutual UFO Network, the largest UFO investigative organization in the world, received many reports of UFOs during the first week of the year from eyewitnesses in 36 out of 50 states. The 14 states that haven’t reported in so far are Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming — but the year is young.
“For the entire month of January 2011, MUFON recorded around 500 reports, and we’re already up to 233 after just the first week of 2012,” said MUFON international director Clifford Clift.
“For December, we had 810, compared to about 500 in December 2010,” Clift told The Huffington Post.
“Last year, we averaged over 6,000 total sightings, and if it continues at this pace, we’ll be up 50 percent, with about 10 percent of those reports ending up as unexplained after our investigation,” he said.
According to New Zealand’s WeatherWatch.co.nz, in the first 24 hours of the new year, it received “almost 80 reports and they’re still flooding in at about 10 an hour.”
“Many people around the world have been outside celebrating the new year. In the U.S., where most of the sightings came from, conditions were fairly mild and dry in many areas, so more people were outside to see things,” weather analyst Philip Duncan said in a statement.

The Sun Today: March 23, 2012
Solar Winds: 377.5 km/h
Density: 1.4 protons/cm3 – Sunspots: 86 – The geomagnetic field was quiet to active on March 22.
Solar wind speed at SOHO ranged between 345 and 442 km/s. A minor disturbance was observed arriving at ACE near 18h and caused unsettled conditions for the remainder of the day and early on March 23.
Solar flux measured at 20h UTC on 2.8 GHz was 102.4 (decreasing 6.5 over the last solar rotation). The Potsdam WDC planetary A index was 9 (STAR Ap – based on the mean of three hour interval ap indices: 8.6). Three hour interval K indices: 12110134 (planetary), 11001233 (Boulder).
The background x-ray flux is undetermined (the main data source for x-ray flux, GOES-15, is unavailable. SWPC is using GOES-13 to monitor x-ray flux).
At midnight UTC the visible solar disk had 8 spotted active regions (in 2K resolution SDO images).
Region 11433 [N09W82] decayed slowly and quietly.
Region 11438 [S14E44] was quiet and stable.
Region 11440 [S26W38] decayed and currently has a magnetically simple structure.
New region 11441 [S28W56] emerged in the southwest quadrant on March 19 and was numbered by SWPC 3 days later.
New region 11442 [N12E52] emerged in the northeast quadrant on March 21 and got an SWPC number one day later.
New region 11443 [N16E65] rotated into view at the northeast limb on March 21 and was assigned a number by SWPC the following day.
Spotted regions not reported by NOAA/SWPC:
[S1543] emerged in the northeast quadrant on March 22. Location at midnight: N20E52
[S1544] emerged in the northeast quadrant on March 22. Location at midnight: N23E14
An active region is early on March 23 rotating into view at the southeast limb (S23E86) with several spots. The region could produce C flares.
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs)
March 20-22: No obviously Earth directed CMEs were observed in LASCO and STEREO imagery.
Coronal holes
Coronal hole history (since October 2002)
Compare today’s report to the situation one solar rotation ago: 28 days ago 27 days ago 26 days ago
A coronal hole (CH508) in the southern hemisphere was in an Earth facing position on March 20. CH508 decayed and had closed on March 22 due to new corona from AR 11440. A very elongated recurrent trans equatorial coronal hole (CH509) will rotate into an Earth facing position on March 23-26.
