A visual recreation of the March 21, 2017, sighting in the Gulf of Mexico, where a crew observed a massive oval craft emerge from the water before ascending at high speed.
2017: March UFO & Alien Sightings Archive
March 2017 served as a bridge between technical aerial observations and intimate, high-strangeness encounters. While a witness in Albuquerque, New Mexico, watched a prismatic, school-of-fish-like object fold into the sky, crew members on a vessel in the Gulf of Mexico reported a massive oval craft rising silently from the water. This archive centralizes these diverse reports—ranging from the “black shadow” entities in Pennsylvania to the teardrop-shaped objects over England—providing a comprehensive snapshot of the 2017: March UFO & Alien Sightings.

Location: Albuquerque New Mexico
Time: 12:30 p.m.
Summary: The witness was outside on a lunch break at 12:30 p.m. on March 2, 2017, when a light gray shape was first seen. “The object was approximately 500 feet away, about 50 feet in the air over a building,” the witness stated.“ At first I thought it was a flock of birds, and I said, that’s interesting, what kind of birds would those be? It seemed to be moving east in a slow flutter. Then it disappeared, like it folded back into the sky.” The witness at first simply dismissed the sighting as something strange. “It then reappeared in a fat boomerang shape. It seemed to be made up of multiple, light gray, possibly reflective objects but working together, like a school of fish, or sequins on a purse or dress. It did seem to have a common background that was dark gray or black. It was still fluttering, but it paused and hovered and moved backward, just slightly.” The view was blocked by a bare tree and the witness continued to walk. “When I saw the shape again, it had changed, and it seemed to be a soft, billowy, upside down parachute shape, or the bottom of a puffy cloud or a puff of factory smoke. I almost convinced myself it was a deflated weather balloon, but there was no top to the shape, only a distinct bottom. The color of this object seemed to blend with the sky. I could only decipher a dark gray sitting in the bottom of the cloud/parachute.” The object changed again, and became almost transparent, as if the sun were reflecting on an invisible craft. “Now there really is no overall shape that I can make out. I saw a few smaller very rigid shapes, like flat prisms or solar panels, and they seemed to fold backwards into the object and then the whole object faded away.” The entire sighting had last about 20 – 25 seconds. “At this point, another sparse tree is blocking my view. I assumed the object would reappear, as it already had, so I said to myself, I will take a picture with my phone when I get to the other side of the tree, but it never appeared again. I looked for it for about 6 more minutes, but saw no sign of it. The object made no sound during this encounter. The other objects in the sky were two passenger planes flying east almost parallel to each other, but they were a mile away. There was a helicopter about 10 miles east circling. There is also a military base close by, and planes are frequently seen. A military cargo plane flew over a few minutes later. Additionally, a CV-22 osprey plane flew over a few minutes after the first military plane. I do not know if it lingered in the vicinity, as I had to go back to work. Of note, the building I believe the object was moving over, processes precious metals.”

Location: Plata (Huila) Colombia
Time: starting at 3:00 p.m.
Summary: On March 3, 2017, starting at 3:00 p.m., a phenomenon was recorded over Plata (Huila) that left locals looking for answers. Three mysterious UFOs were sighted in the skies over the community. According to eyewitnesses, the objects remained static most of the time and as evening grew closer, they flew toward each other quickly until they vanished.
A witness to the event remarked: “Three unidentified flying vehicles remained static most of the afternoon until dusk, then flew quickly toward each other until they vanished,” according to Lucas Martinez. UFO sightings over Colombia are on the rise with many more cases reporting everything from small lights to possible structured craft flying over towns, municipalities and even some of the nation’s cities. Photos show white objects, clearly distant from the witnesses. A drawing depicts the manner in which the craft were described by witnesses.

Date: March 21 2017
Location: Sighting was approximately 80 miles SE of New Orleans, Louisiana.
Time: Close to 7:00 pm
Summary: “Close to 7:00 pm on March 21st, just before dusk, myself and 4 of the crew members aboard our vessel saw a craft that appeared to be five times our 240 ft vessel in length. My line of sight was about 1/4 mile from our vessel. There was a rig behind the craft about a 1/2 mile. i used this to help gauge size of craft. The scene lasted about 40 seconds. The craft rose up out of the water (Gulf of Mexico) about 40 feet, no water was dripping from the craft. Within a split second the craft disappeared at a 30 degree angle into the sky. Speed appeared to faster than speed of a light turning on in a room. Within seconds it had disappeared completely. I can say for sure that the craft was dark colored, oval in shape and made no sound whatsoever. With as many rigs (2), there has to be more witnesses than just the four on our vessel.

Location: Long Eaton, Nottingham, UK
Time: 02:10
Summary: Heard a loud aircraft – sounded like a plane flying low. Looked out of window, and saw what I could only describe (couldn’t get full shape due to darkness) – but the lights that I could see underneath literally looked like an spacecraft from Star Trek. Not sure if it was fully circle shape, but shape was large and round. And a panel of lights on the bottom of one side was fading from blue to white the red (in a Mexican wave style) and there where a few still white and orange lights, where I could make out the shape. Flew very slow off into the distance – I’m not 100% sure that what I saw was definitely a traditional UFO, but I’d never seen anything like it before, and it was literally like looking at something from a film

Location: Sebastopol, California
Time: around 10 PM
Summary: A bright white-yellow light moving slightly slower than the speed of a satellite. The distance is hard to estimate, possibly higher than an airplane. It made no sound. Mostly traveling in a straight line towards east, though what caught our attention was a “zic zac” pattern it did twice on its journey before getting behind the treeline and could no longer be seen. Number of UFO(s), including the Color(s), Size(s) and Shape(s): 1 Distance of UFO(s) in sky: Far Direction of Travel for UFO(s): Straight and ziczac

Date: March 31 2017
Location: Columbus, Ohio
Time: Night
Summary: I was half asleep and woke up slightly. Was able to see the figures surround my bed and I was unable to move with sleep paralysis. Long appendages, dark outlines of what looked like odd shaped humans. Long fingers. I was trying to move and about (what felt like an hour and fifteen minutes) I became unstuck out of the sleep paralysis and threw my body forward in an attempt to scare whatever they were away and by the time I flung upwards they were gone. Did not see any mode of transportation but has effected me psychologically since the occurrence. Unable to sleep, dreams of the encounter etc… was not a dream. I was unable to look at the clock due to the paralysis and I have had no history of sleep paralysis or dreams like this of any kind. I am convinced I was visited and studied to some degree by whatever surrounded me. It felt like I was under some sort of spell.
