As of 22:31 GMT 20/30/15 - No sightings of god recorded.
Are we to assume you mean by sighting a sensation of the five physical senses ?
If that is the case I have never ever detected God with my five physical senses.
But Jesus did say the pure in heart shall SEE God.
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." (Matt. 5:8)
From experience, I would say that
"pure in heart" here does not mean one is so morally good necessarily. It means
single in motive. It means
focused on one thing. It means to not have a double heart but a heart singular and calibrated to a single goal - to know God.
When person comes to the point of praying something like
"Lord Jesus, I just want You. Lord Jesus, You Yourself is what I want. Thanks for meaner things, even legitimate and necessary things. But they are not the single thing I desire. Lord God I just want You Yourself."
This is to be single, simple, and pure in heart. And even if you are physically BLIND, like Fanny Crosby who wrote over 9,000 hymns, you can
"see God" .

If you have no sightings of God in this sense it is probably because you have too many goals and other things that divide your heart. IF you would once, calibrate your heart to just want God and God alone, the pure in heart see God.
