Record Number Of UFO Sightings Reported In 2025, Mostly Explained By Natural Phenomena

The German UFO Centre, CENAP, has logged a record number of sightings in 2025, with 1,348 reports from puzzled citizens in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and a few other countries. Director Hansjürgen Köhler attributes the surge in sightings to the public's fascination with the night sky, often misinterpreting celestial bodies and natural phenomena as unidentified flying objects.

According to Köhler, most sightings can be explained by the presence of bright planets like Venus, Jupiter, and the star Sirius, which continue to confuse many sky watchers. Meteors also surprised early risers and casual observers as they burned up with a conspicuous glow. In addition, tech billionaire Elon Musk's Starlink satellite communication systems were reported over 120 times, including by pilots who were surprised during night flights.

CENAP, based in Lützelbach south of Frankfurt, serves as a point of contact for members of the public seeking a scientific explanation for their UFO sightings. Since 2019, reports have risen steadily every year, with 2025 marking a record high. Köhler emphasizes that despite the increasing number of sightings, there have been no credible reports of alien spaceships.
