Case 15-029 was a nocturnal photographic case from Washington State. This was probably the highest quality photograph ever submitted to us. The case was closed as unidentified with Strangeness level of 2.
We just released a new video case summary: Case 18-017. Please see our videos page for more case summaries, and our investigations page for the written reports.
If you have any additional leads on this or any other case, please contact us.

We’re always adding new photos to our library. Some are IFOs (like the one below from the U.S. Department of Defense), some are genuine unknowns, and quite a few are in that grey area where we spend much of our time.
If you have any photos you would like us to look at, please contact us. If it is a real UFO photo or video you took, then please use our reporting form. In either case, we want to know as many of the specifics as possible, including the provenance of the image. If it’s a really good one, and contains no PII, we may feature it here or in one of our videos.

This is the 8th episode of API Case Files – the podcast by and for UAP Investigators. In this episode, Marsha Barnhart reports on a small-airplane-sized, orb-like sphere case in Winston-Salem, North Carolina; Paul Carr talks with Podcast UFO host Martin Willis. (This is an excerpt from his full interview with Martin Willis, showcased in API’s newest podcast offering API Conversations.) Antonio Paris, Paul Carr and Marsha Barnhart discuss the need to collate well-investigated UFO cases to narrow down information into a solid, usable database. And they talk about the propensity of videos on YouTube that are hoaxed or poorly vetted by people just interested in making money off the UFO side-show.
