December 1945 — no UFO or entity sightings are documented this month. The record instead reflects the first peacetime Christmas since 1941, as American servicemen returned home from the war. thinkaboutitdocs.com.
1945: December UFO & Entity Sightings Archive
No UFO or entity sightings were located for December 1945, consistent with the confirmed lull this archive has documented across September, October, and November of the same year — the wartime Foo Fighter/balls-of-fire wave had ended with Japan’s surrender in August, and the next major wave (Scandinavian “ghost rockets”) did not begin until February 1946. December 1945 was, instead, the first peacetime Christmas season since 1941: millions of American servicemen were home or coming home, war rationing was easing, and the country was beginning the long transition out of four years of total war.
Editorial note: The Middie Rivers/Glastenbury Mountain entry previously listed here has been corrected and moved to the November 1945 archive; every located source dates his disappearance to November 12, 1945. Checked against Project 1947, NICAP, Wikipedia’s UFO sighting lists, and general web search for genuine December 1945 UFO cases; none were located.
