🛫 UAP Sightings & Airports -

🧵A THREAD

At Enigma, they have analyzed 565 sightings reported within 5 miles of 52 major U.S. airports.

🚨 23% mention planes or pilots directly — a strong signal of UAP activity intersecting with commercial airspace.

This isn’t rare. This is a pattern.

Let’s take a closer look at what the data reveals...
👇

📍 Where are the sightings happening?

Here are the top 5 U.S. states with the highest number of UAP reports near major airports:

🔴 California
🔴 Florida
🔴 Arizona
🔴 Texas
🔴 Nevada

Each of these is a high-traffic airspace — and a consistent hotspot for UAP activity.

🗺️ Let’s zoom in on the top airport clusters next.

👀 What are people actually seeing?

Across hundreds of sightings near U.S. airports, three shapes dominate:

☁️ 17% report light phenomena
🔮 13% describe a sphere
🌀 12% witness a circle or ring

📍 Proximity matters.

Of the 565 airport-adjacent reports we’ve received, 179 occurred within just 3 miles of major U.S. airports.
That’s not just close... it’s inside regulated airspace.

Many of these sightings come from trained observers, including pilots and aviation personnel .....raising serious questions for both aviation safety and national security.

📐 Shape matters — and so does distance.

Our data shows distinct spatial trends in UAP reports near airports:

Cigar, triangle, and disk shapes are often seen closer in, around 2.7–3.0 miles.

Saucer, chevron, and fireball shapes tend to appear farther out, around 3.6–3.8 miles.

Why the distribution?
Signal behavior?
Detection bias?
Still unknown.

🛬 Airport clusters, same anomaly.

We looked at the top 3 U.S. airport zones with the most UAP reports:

📍 New York (JFK, EWR, LGA)
📍 Phoenix (PHX)
📍 Fort Lauderdale (FLL)

Despite different geographies and traffic volumes, orbs consistently show up across all three.

A shared phenomenon… or a shared blind spot?

🗽 New York Cluster: JFK, EWR, LGA

NYC-area airports are among the most active for UAP reports -and the most commonly reported shape near JFK is the “sphere.”

These aren’t isolated stories. This pattern repeats.

🌄 Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport

Arizona is showing a clear pattern:

36% of reports near PHX involve circles, spheres, or light-shaped objects, with 15% directly citing orbs.

One witness wrote:
“A very reflective white object came into view from behind a mountain... it moved slowly as it came around the mountain.”

Is it coincidence or perhaps consistent behavior in this airspace?

🌴 Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood Airport (FLL)

27% of sightings near FLL report a circle, sphere, or light-shaped object — echoing similar reports from Phoenix and New York.

One witness near the airport described:

“A metallic silver sphere… about 2ft in diameter, 100–200ft above, moving slowly—then stopping in place for several seconds.”

🛑

Small, close, deliberate. And not alone in its pattern.

🕰️ UAPs near airports aren’t new.

In 2006, a metallic disc hovered above Chicago O’Hare’s Gate C17 ...seen in broad daylight by United pilots, ground crew, and passengers. The case remains officially unexplained.

🔁 Now in 2024, a similar object darts past a plane near LaGuardia. Case #290972.

The context changes. The proximity doesn’t.
