01 Check it first
Is it Starlink? Sighted checks.
Every report is checked against what was really in that sky: Starlink trains, the space station, planets, the Moon, bright stars, aircraft, rocket launches and fireballs. You see the likely suspects, ranked, with the reasons, and what is left is worth a closer look.
- Starlink trains spotted from fresh launches flying in a line
- Live aircraft saved with reports filed within 30 minutes
- Possible explanations, never verdicts

02 See who else saw it
One witness is a story. Two is a fix.
When people in different places record which way they looked, Sighted works out where it was, how high it flew and how fast it moved, with an honest margin of error. Saw it too? One tap adds your weight to the report.
- Every fix graded A to D, uncertainty shown
- Witness positions rounded to about a kilometre
- “I saw it too” counts double in the public score

03 The live map
Every point is someone who looked up.
Blue points are reports, pinned where they happened. Green points are members outside watching the sky right now, shown to within about 100 km. Outside tonight? Check in and you’ll appear on the map too.

07 Keep the watch going
Sighted runs on the people who use it.
Servers, live sky data and the moderation that keeps reports honest all cost something to run. Supporters cover it, from $3 a month, and get a badge, a ring on their avatar and a place on the wall.
Supporter contributions are payments for perks, not charitable donations, and are not tax-deductible.

Jun 2, 2026 · 5 min readHow the validation score is computedThe number on every sighting page isn't a probability of anything exotic. It's a measure of how well-evidenced the report is — here's exactly how we get there.

10 Questions
New to tracking UAP?
What is a UAP tracker?
A place to report unidentified aerial phenomena, the objects and lights people see in the sky and cannot explain, and to see where else they have been reported. Sighted pins every public report on a live map, checks it against what was really in the sky, and lets other witnesses corroborate it.
How do I report a UFO or UAP sighting?
Create a free account and choose Report a sighting. Six short steps cover what you saw, where, when, which way you were looking, any photos or video, and details. It takes about two minutes, and your draft saves as you go.
Was it just Starlink?
Maybe. Sighted checks every report against Starlink trains, the space station, planets, aircraft and more for that time and place, and shows the likely candidates with the reasons. Satellites are matched for sightings within about two weeks, aircraft for reports filed within 30 minutes.
Is Sighted free?
Yes. Reporting, the live map, Sky Tonight, the Moon and solar system, alerts and the community all come with a free account. Supporters can choose to fund the platform from $3 a month.
Will my location be public?
Your report is pinned where you say it happened, as accurately as you choose. Location data is removed from photos before they are published, witness positions in triangulation are rounded to about a kilometre, and you can report anonymously or keep a report private.
Who decides what is confirmed?
People, not software. The community corroborates and votes; moderators review the evidence and set a report’s status, and every decision is logged with who made it and why.
