MOORPARK – The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) recorded a new sighting report on March 25, 2026, submitted by two residents of Moorpark, California. The witnesses claim to have observed a circular object traveling at high speed and very low altitude over a residential area.
The Facts
The incident occurred at 00:28 local time. According to the report, the two observers were outdoors when they spotted the craft flying over houses at an estimated altitude of approximately 500 feet. The observation, while brief—lasting about one minute in total—was described with notable precision by the witnesses.
The object is described as a gray, disc-shaped craft, roughly the size of a commercial airplane but lacking conventional wings or a tail. One witness reported seeing a "thin row of lights" on the craft before it disappeared from their field of vision toward the southwest.
Unusual Characteristics
The testimony highlights several elements that, according to the observers, rule out the hypothesis of a conventional aircraft:
-
Speed and Motion: The craft was moving at an estimated speed of nearly 600 mph.
-
Lack of Navigation Lights: Contrary to aviation standards, the object displayed no blinking red or green positioning lights.
-
Visual Phenomenon: A sort of "aura" or haze surrounded the structure, which the witnesses noted helped it blend into the night sky.
Local Context Analysis
The account also addresses the possibility of confusion with civilian flights. The primary witness specified that the nearest airport, located 20 miles away, is a private facility that does not handle commercial aircraft of that size. Furthermore, the altitude of the object was deemed entirely atypical for the geographical area.
In the absence of photographic or video evidence—with the witnesses citing the rapid nature of the event as the reason they could not retrieve their phones in time—the case remains classified among NUFORC’s unexplained sightings. No official comment from local aviation authorities has been issued at this time.
