Learn what LiveEarthReports is, how user-submitted Earth, Weather, and Sky reports work, and how reports help communities compare unusual events.
LiveEarthReports helps people document unusual events they witnessed and compare those reports with other local observations. The site is built for Earth events, Weather events, and Sky events, including loud booms, strange noises, storms, power outages, fireballs, UFO or UAP sightings, auroras, and other reports that are easier to understand when they are mapped by time and place.
Every report starts as a witness account. That means the goal is not to force a dramatic explanation. The goal is to collect clear details: what happened, where it happened, when it happened, how long it lasted, and what made it different from normal conditions.
Visitors can submit a report through the Report an Event page. Approved reports can appear on the live map, the Latest Reports page, section pages, and category pages. This makes it easier to compare similar reports from nearby areas and spot clusters that might otherwise be missed.
The site groups reports into Earth Reports, Weather Reports, and Sky Reports. You can also browse the full Event Types directory when you are not sure which category fits best.
Official data sources are important, but they do not always capture what people heard, saw, felt, smelled, or recorded in the moment. Local witness reports can add useful ground-level context, especially for events that are brief, confusing, or spread across several communities.
LiveEarthReports is not a substitute for emergency alerts, public safety instructions, scientific agencies, or weather warnings. If something is dangerous, handle safety first. After that, a careful report can help others understand what happened nearby.
To help build the map, submit your own observation or browse the latest reports from other witnesses.
