Louisiana UFO Sightings 2024

Of the 5 UFO reports in Louisiana, two of them happened in Lafayette and one in Duson.

The first report of 2024 happened only a week into the new year and the latest report happened a few days into May.

Although there have only been 5 UFO sightings reported to the National UFO Reporting Center, there certainly have been many more that have gone unreported.

Many times people see things they can't explain but don't know how or where to report them, or they're concerned they'll be ridiculed if they talk about it.

UFO sightings are often associated with conspiracy theories and science fiction, leading many to worry that others will think they are delusional or seeking attention.

Some people might be concerned about privacy and the potential consequences of coming forward with their sightings, such as unwanted attention from media or UFO enthusiasts.

Before we move forward, just know that if you do see something like a UFO, you can report your experience anonymously to the National UFO Reporting Center and they will investigate and document the experience.

Unfortunately, there are no accompanying photos or videos with these reports, but many reports out of Louisiana do. You can take a look at all of the Louisiana UFO reports over at nuforc.org.

As I was reaching for my phone out of my pocket and to pull aside on the road for a video/picture it created some sort of fog or cloud around itself and it disappeared.

Object Reported - Orb

Characteristics - Lights on object

"After seeing these orbs, I backed my truck up to get my phone inside my house to take a photo and came back outside and the orbs were gone.

There was a main larger orb in front and smaller orbs following the front orb."
