So…what’s happened since then?
It’s been more than a year and we know that Montana has had 24 reported sightings since then.
That doesn't include that image from Trout Creek you see above, which you can read about here.
You can find information on the National UFO Reporting Center’s Montana Page for most UFO sightings.
This is what it tells us.

On October 8…well, you get the idea.
I’ll skip the reports from October 2015 to December 31, 2014, which is where I left off on my first Montana UFO post.
You can learn a lot more in my book Paranormal Montana.
It explores lots of strange things in our state’s history, UFO’s being a small part.
Until then, keep looking up.
You never know what you’ll see under the Big Sky.
