I observed at first one large oval shaped aircraft then was joined by two smaller aircraft looking to be same design and colors.

On 13 April 2025 at approximately 2027 hours (8:27 PM) while on patrol of McDaniel College, I was located on the SW side of the campus. I observed what appeared to be a bright white light moving it appeared to be moving to the NE at a slow speed. I looked and did not observe FAA lights. There is the Carroll County regional airport close to us, it is a small airport. It would be located behind and off to my NW. I was able to rule out small private aircraft one by the size of the light and what I could make out of the fuselage of the aircraft. I could just make out that it had an oval shape and was a silvery to white color. A couple of seconds the main craft was joined by two smaller craft of what appeared to be the same design, just smaller. Same coloring, the two crafts moved to about a 45-degree angle formation to the front of the larger craft. The small craft on my right there left all of a sudden, shot super-fast to the other side of the second small craft, then up and back over to the original location in the formation. This maneuvering was super-fast and stopped on a dime instantly. After approximately a minute, the two smaller craft split off from the main craft at proceeded off to the SE at what appeared to be the same speed. The larger craft was slowly phased out and was not observed again. I lost track of the two smaller crafts behind some trees. Approximately two minutes later, a Carroll County Sheriff unit came up on the dispatch channel and asked, " Do you have any reports of drones up in the area?" Dispatch replied, " There was a report of drone activity looking for an animal on the other side of the county." There was no further radio traffic.

Approximately three minutes after that radio traffic, I observed three military black hawk helicopters blacked out and moving fast in the direction that the smaller craft had last been observed heading.

I am an officer with McDaniel College, and I am on the 2000 hours to 0600 hours shift. We do regular patrols of the campus and surrounding areas all night. Please feel free to contact me if there are any further questions/

Duration: About 25 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Westminster, CO, USA
Location details: The orb / ball of light was located directly West of the address above, using the iPhone compass app

Shape: Orb
Color: White
Estimated Size: Not sure but it was very bright, resembling a star
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: Directly West
Angle of Elevation: 20
Closest Distance: 20-30 miles.
Estimated Speed: I would estimate 20-30 mph, however, I’m not sure.
Explanation: Planet/Star - Possible
Characteristics: Lights on object

The orb was spotted directly West of my location about 20-30 miles in the distance, where it was slowly moving North.

The orb was first spotted outside of my bedroom window at 8:32pm, or at least that is when I first noticed it. It was a large bright continuous light that I initially thought was a star, however, after checking the constellations using a app that allows your phone camera to see the stars where you point your phone, there were no stars visible in its location (see video below). I also checked the flight radar of my location and there were no aircraft in the vicinity of the orb. The orb was seen directly west of my location, roughly 20-30 miles away, near the city of Boulder, CO. After using a reference point to determine where it was located, I continued to watch the orb. It eventually moved North very slowly and then dropped its altitude. At that point, I lost sight of the orb. The last sighting was at around 8:55pm. In the photos attached, you will see two photos, with one showing a bright light in the sky right above the tree, and the other showing that there is no longer a light above the tree. I took these photos to illustrate that the object was in fact moving. The other video shows a screen recording of me going through the constellation app showing that the bright light is not a star/planet. The other video was taken on the ground floor and I attempt to zoom into the object as best as I could.

I noticed a very intense white pin point source of light at the lower portion of Ursa Major at 11:30PM. This light was a white color which lasted about 5 seconds and then completely vanished. I ignored this until I saw within minutes two other lights behaving in the same manner but not as intense in
brightness. This drew me to get my binoculars and get on my deck to observe the area better. The intense bright lights fading away went on over and over every 2-5 minutes for over an hour, while I also noticed multiple UAP (most in a 2- flight formation- one above the other - and at times three flight
with one above another and a third UAP trailing the other two- see my drawings included). These less bright UAP were visible to the naked eye, but were much better observed through my binoculars. I tried to video and take still pictures with my IPHONE 13, however it was not capable of imaging the UAP. I also observed one object go in the opposite direction (from NNE travel to a NNW track and make an abrupt change in its flight path going at a right angle before fading out At that point I called the Carroll County Sheriffs Office, The Maryland State Police Westminster, MD barracks as well as Leidos Flight service (1-800WXBRIEF) to see if they had any PIREPS or radar hits. None of the aforementioned agencies offered any ideas or help. I stopped viewing the objects myself at 1:30 AM as I had to get to sleep, however at the time they continued to just keep showing up every 2-3 minutes.

These WERE NOT star link satellites, as I have observed these many times and these objects did not display ANY characteristics of Starlink satellites. I have never witnessed regular satellites that fly in formation or flights of three and or appear so rapidly in succession. These objects appear to have been close enough to P40 (Camp David -site R) to be concerning.

My daughter, who is 18, also witnessed these objects with me.

Who am I:

I am a licensed medical profession and a private pilot (200 hours, single engine land). I was not under the influence of ANY medication or alcohol.

Triangle shaped craft over Westminster, CO

At approximately 12:50 AM I was outside trying to locate Jupiter when I witnessed 4 faint lights (3 at each point, 1 in the center), seemingly on 1 aircraft, flying overhead at a high rate of speed. All 4 lights moved in conjunction with one another, perhaps on a triangular shaped craft. It felt as if I could see through the object. The craft made absolutely no noise whatsoever and was moving southbound. After observing it for approximately 3 - 5 seconds the lights dimmed even further and it vanished.

Strange lighted object in the sky

I noticed something odd, at first dismissed the idea and thought of another airplane flying by. However as I continued to star gaze and enjoy the moon so close, the lighted aircraft began to move in unusual maneuvers. As if a kid flying a kite the movement was similar, that’s what made me think something odd and strange. It briefly disappeared only to reappear close enough to see what resumed to be any other aircraft with red and white blinking lights flying a straight pattern. There was almost no sound made when it flew by, unlike the jets that fly over daily. My dog barked most of the night, he has never done that on any other night.

Trail of lights in the sky that appeared to be on a sideways rotating disc. Craft moved up in the sky and faded away.

I was biking home when I stopped to fix my jacket. I looked up and saw an unusual trail of lights in the sky. I assumed it was the iss, but it was long. A straight line of white dots. I looked more and saw an outline of an oval, looking like the side of a discus. I pulled out my phone to video it after I saw that it seemed to be rotating, the lights moving up like they were on the side of a rotating disc. As I videoed the scene, I saw the thing move higher in the sky. Then the lights started to fade and the outline disappeared as the whatever it was faded away into the night.

Five square lights in a V formation hovering above the clouds

On 1/6/2020 I was at the Quality Inn and Suites in Westminster, Co and took several pictures of the sunset. Upon reviewing the photos there appear to be five square shaped white lights in a V formation hovering above the cloud line. There is an obvious contrail through the clouds beneath. In the photos taken directly after, within the same minute, the lights are no longer there. I am a local business owner.

They did not vary in speed or interval and maintained a constant speed the entire 45 sec until they were out of my sight. There were no mountains or buildings to block their travel. They just disappeared as they went farther away from me. They were not going at a particularly high rate of speed.I am a retired man living in So Calif.

Two triangular crafts seen in Carroll County.

Seen in Carroll County, MD, looking south on route 27. Triangular shaped crafts (2) with red and white twinkling lights. Strange back and fourth movements, very sporatic. Stayed mostly in one spot, but disappeared behind pine trees very quickly one by one within a half hour of eachother. We used binoculars to really get a good look at it. We could see that it was not a plane and it was moving too slow for it to be a helicopter. One of the crafts seemed to be emitting beams of lights while the other were pretty stationary.

Noiseless rectungular object slowly moving.

It was past 10pm MST and I was outside on my patio watching sky via binoculars. Visibility was excellent! Noticed rectangular shape object hovering over city at altitude 500 ft ? Object then moved slowly south without making any sound whatsoever! I could see its dark grayed bottom (via binoculars) and a part of a side. I think there seems to be light on its side but I cannot confirm that. Object stopped for a moment then accelerated and very smoothly moved from north to south.

We have a small airport few miles away but this was no plane or drone. It had no wings, lights or visible engines. It was flying directly above me and I couldn't get a full view of it (due to my position). I estimate its size to be at least 100 ft long and 30 ft wide if not bigger! Object disappeared into the darkness of the sky and trees…

Large Square 4 lights on each corner, flying smoothly

Standing outside at approx 3 Am and stared up into the sky like I usually do, smoking a cigarette at that time. As I stared I noticed 4 tiny lights and they were moving smoothly over the sky in unison.

I stared closer and my eyes adjusted to seeing a black square with a light on each corner. It was moving very smoothly and knew at that moment that was no drone.

I live in the countryside and no drones have ever been seen around my house, and it was moving as an airplane would, or rather a much slower shooting star. It lasted about a min or 2 before it was out of my view.

Living in MD, I'm sure plenty of aircraft are tested and I have seen events before of testing the government has issued a statement before hand. I can assure you this was something I have never seen before. If the aircraft I saw was as high as an airplane, well then on the ground this thing would be absolutely massive.

When we got out of the truck, we noticed the vapor trail from the spacex launch, so I was taking pictures of it to send to my wife, and I noticed in the picture three white lights in the shape of a triangle, so I looked back up to see them hovering and as I went to take another picture they simply vanished. I would say I saw the object for about 8 seconds.

Massive cluster of tiny lights moving together over the skies of Westminster, CO.

On the evening of Saturday, August 26th, at 8:45pm, some friends of mine and myself noticed a large cluster of tiny color-changing lights in the sky. These lights traveled as if following the same path, and seemed to glisten like a moon shimmering off the top of the ocean. It was a spectacular sight, truly the most amazing spectacle I have ever viewed.

There was an incredible number of these lights flicker across the sky, so I estimated the number to be around 100 or so... not sure if these were individual lights or if perhaps they may have been attached to one giant craft of some sort.

I took video of this occurrence, however, due to the smallness of the lights and the high altitude of their placement, they are not visible from my phone camera. I have no clue as to what these various lights might have been. Some of my friends suggested perhaps they were a cluster of drones, however, I felt there were way too many for that conclusion to be feasible. I am truly stumped by this magnificent sight.

Fireball in sky over Westminster MD, Dec 3, 2015, straight edged bottom to it

I was driving east on route 140 (just leaving Westminster, MD) at 8:12pm EST and I saw a white fireball cross the sky 30 degrees above the horizon on the drivers side of my car. It left a long trail in the dark sky.

I was passing the local Starbucks and Taco Bell when I saw it. It was about 30 degrees in the sky, heading away from me.

The fire ball streaked across the sky then flamed out. Visually it looked like one half of it burst into flames because it was half a ball of flame and the bottom half looked like someone put a straight edge ruler to it and the bottom half was dark. I couldn't see an object, just the weird effect of a straight edged glowing object flaming out.

It was Wednesday, October 14th, 2015, somewhere between 8:30-9:00pm. I never thought to check the time. But when I did it was approx 9:20, and it happened 20-30 minutes before that.

It was a perfectly clear night and I was outside getting ready to light up a cigarette when I noticed an odd dimly lit light in the sky to the northeast just over the neighbors tree line, then it became clear that there were more lights in formation next to it on both sides. It was very hard to see at first, but as they approached in the sky I could tell they were all part of one object. Some of the stars were brighter than this object, but as it got closer, I could tell that each one of these lights were bigger than airplane or helicopter lights. The lights almost gave off a yellowish orangish glow, unlike traditional lights and each light with my best guess were somewhere between 3-5 feet in diameter.

There were no blinking lights. It was moving at a slow speed and I'm not a good judge of altitude but I would say it was 7,000 to 10,000 feet above the ground traveling from North east to South west. As it passed almost directly overhead I could finally make out the body of the craft. It was black and was shaped like a V but at 90 degree angles. Nothing in the middle of the craft like the extra diamonds on the stealth bomber. It was literally a V. As it passed overhead I knocked on the window to call my wife to come out, and stumbled to the back yard to watch it for about 3-4 more seconds before it was gone over the rooftops. It never picked up speed, and it looked like it almost glided over the air. The object I saw that night never made a sound. I have 20/20 vision and If I wasn't looking directly at it, I would've never noticed it. It's almost like it didn't want to be seen.

It had rained that evening, clouds cleared but the triangle remained

I thought maybe it was just from the rains, but as all the clouds moved out, the triangle remained in the same spot. I went to bed and woke up about 6am and went outside to see it was still there. I ran inside to grab my phone and when I came back, you could only see where it had been and now it’s gone.

We observed a bright pulsing orange light either in the center or under the object. It moved very slowly and the stopped and hovered. Then it changed direction and moved right above us.

After about 2 minutes, it appeared to hover so more. An airplane passed by and we realized that it was lower than a plane.

As the plane passed, it shot straight up and disappeared.

Had the strangest experience last night watching fireworks. We parked at this lookout on 82nd and Federal which gave us a full Panoramic view of the city.

About 20 mins in, my 3 year old pushes my head to the east. I swing my head back and he does it again and points to the sky. In the sky above the water tower are 5 bright lights. They are motionless at first, then all fall a few hundred feet and stop again. 2 of the 5 dissapeared over the city, the remaining 3 formed a perfect triangle.

They hovered for a few moments then 2 of the 3 slowly started descending towards the city until they vanished. When they moved they left tracers that made them look like triangles. They moved like nothing I've ever seen before.

The remaining light which was the top of the triangle seemed to get brighter. It stayed for a moment then moved toward the city and vanished. I was at a lose of words.

White light like falling star appears to hit earth

At 8:00 pm, I was driving home, headed south. I was heading up a slight hill, only minutes from my house.

In front of me, in the sky, I saw a bright white light, the shape of a star, but too big and close. It looked more like a white light from an airplane. However, it was falling at a rapid angle like a shooting star. I watched it fall, thinking it looked like it could hit a house.

Then the light suddenly went completely out. I thought maybe I had seen a real meteor hitting the earth in my area or maybe a distressed plane had gone down. But there was no crash or engine noise.

I have no idea what I saw!

Deep Purple light moving South w no sound....makes fairly abrupt turn and goes North-North East and still no sound. Considering rate of change and light intensity I expected sound from aircraft. Also close proximity to 2 major airfields and hear/see alot of activity accompanied w noise. The color of the light and absence of noise was awkward. Noticed the color change from deep purple to light blue during the turn but went back to neon purple. No strobing of the light like an aircraft wing light...solid purple light.

9 lights in shape of triangles each over the size of a home and very low to the ground

The date is 9/27/14 and the time is 9:05 pm et. My best friend and her husband and kids stay on my property right now and they were waiting on dominos to deliver. They were hanging out outside next to my mommas car. I went out to speak with my niece and I looked up in the sky and coming over my across the street neighbors' home were these 3 lights. they were huge, triangle shaped and yellowish in color, than 3 more come over the home and again 3 more. We just stood there looking up at them as they passed by, I could see the clouds in between the 3 triangular "ships" but could not see the clouds through the "ships". It took a total of 2 to 3 minutes for them to pass. Than they just disappeared. My husband was in the 82nd airborne so I know what planes etc. look like from beneath at night, I have watched the night sky my entire life because I love stars, and have seen flares and fireworks in the sky many times, but never have I seen anything like this! . They were going north east (I think can show which way if followed up on). All of us saw it and still cant figure out what it was. We are willing to speak to any professional who would like to follow up.

EVENT (Object in the sky) Saturday July 5, 2014 20:16 -20:19 PM From Edwards Blvd in Westminster, CA, in a car traveling N. between Bolsa Blvd and Westminster Blvd.

In the west sky about 240 decrees west (approximate) Between 30 and 35 decrees high (approximate) Small bright (silver) missile like shape traveling what appeared to be upward but slow (My first thought a rocket from Pointe Mugu), almost looked like it was standing still.

I was looking for about 30 seconds for a trail but I didn’t see one develop till about a 45-60 seconds. It started getting longer slowly but almost imperceptible but definitely larger than when first spotted (very bright both tail and object).

Both my girlfriend and myself were wondering what it was. I said I’m going to video it, turned on my Iphone camera looked up and then it just faded or (dimmed out) to nothing. The fade or vanishing took about 3-4 seconds. That was it.

I suspected some test aircraft and sun reflection fading but I don't know.

Falling star slows to a halt then drops slowly until it is gone

I was heading south on a residential street when I saw what looked like a falling star. The bright light came down fast, like a meteor falling to earth, then slowed tremendously to look like a helicopter landing. The direction it was in it would have been over the ocean around Oceanside/Carlsbad area.

Once the object slowed and I realized it was a craft and not a falling star I recorded it with my cell phone. It went straight down from start to finish, and once it slowed it did not change speed again.

6 lights in 1-3-1-1 pattern changing speed and position near Westminster, MD.

6 lights came over treeline in a 1-3-1-1 formation. No sound at all. Lights were a bright, pale white, almost orange. All were a single, spherical light, not a point of light, but round in appearance. The three lights grouped together changed speed and position several times, came to a stop and shifted positions again. All six faded and disappeared, but did not change position in the sky before vanishing (ie, did not disappear over horizon). No clouds, completely clear out and plenty of stars visible. Have short video clip of them showing shift in positions, but had hard time focusing due to it being dark out.

Red and Green lights moving very fast and changing directions often. Could not tell the elevation? If it was RC it was FAST FAST? I don't think so? Drone? Why the super fast zigging for drone??

Only saw less than a minute after first noticing but well may have been around prior length of time? I used my phone to video for last several seconds but the bushes were in the way for most of video, super poor I'm sure.

This is a highly populated area in southern California just south of Los Angeles so I know many people should have witnessed IF it were very high up?? Any other reports tonight? Maybe good video?

I would love to know WHAT it was! 10 30pm ish Jan 18 2014 (sorry I forgot to look at the exact time)

Was at the Kaiser facility for my son. Looked out of the skyline window and noticed what looked like a high flying kite. Its tail was moving up and down. We were on the second floor and at its elevation angle had to be anywhere from 1000ft to 5000ft. It moved slowly back and forth but in different position.

Outside facing east right at 2300 when orange glow like plane running lights came towards my direction.

It was about 1 mile away then drifted at a steady pace high in the sky at jet level and continued west.

The object made no sound as it drew overhead or as it passed by.

The orange light was not large but hard to judge at night, no wingtip lights just the steady orange glow. It looked as if it was on fire.

Observed three star like objects move at supersonic speeds, one made a u-turn and (N - S) then S - NEN!

Standing on my back porch I noticed (what I can only describe as) several supersonic waves.

I cleaned my glasses and just relaxed my eyes, thinking I was just seeing something natural. Then I noticed a star blinking white, red, orange, blue, and then a bright white blast, if you will. Again, I figured it must be natural, due to distance and the atmosphere. Then the bright white object moved at a speed that was simply unnatural.

I was standing due west, the Flatiron Mountain range is directly in front of me. The object was positioned at 2 o'clock and raced south to my 10 o'clock position and the made was looked like a u-turn and moved a little slower heading at my 1 o'clock position, towards Boulder.

The night sky was clear and dark from where I was observing. I often see commercial aircraft approaching Denver International (60 miles approx) and aircraft flying over Denver heading WSW at over 25,000 - 30,000', the three objects were in the 100,000 plus! area! My Wife came outside after hearing me scream her name, and she watched the third object race from our 11 o'clock and move due north.

The objects moved from point a to b in seconds (5 - 9), I did not have time to run upstairs and get the video camera.

This sighting is a true definition of a UFO, I have no idea what we observed, if they are man made then our military has something that would be revolutionary.

Note: My Wife has always laughed at the topic of UFO's, until last night. Not saying she is a believer, just she was truly amazed at what we observed.

4 lights moving into each other then out again and circling.

After the fireworks stopped we noticed helicopters to the right, 3 of them, then noticed 4 of them. Then we noticed how they were moving and how close to each other they were we then knew they were not helicopters. They were moving into very close to each other then out again. At a couple of times they completely disappeared then came back. We seen many fireworks that night and knew these were not fireworks, we then thought maybe remote controlled helicopters but they were too high for this. Would like to know if anyone else saw these.

After watching the fireworks display on 104th in Westminster,CO my wife and I were intrigued at 4 other brightly lit objects steadily hovering in the night sky.

these objects i could CLEARLY tell were not any known man made crafts, flares, or different fireworks. These objects were noticed by several others around us in the field and there were a lot more people that had to have seen them as well.

after spotting these objects i told my wife to give me her phone and i got them on video. I have never seen a ufo but have always wanted to, I am not very gullible and very honest, I know what I have seen and am very excited to say that I myself have seen extra terrestrial craft.

Enormous oval shaped light, flashing on and off, illuminating through clouds as it moved at high rate of speed through sky.

I am a retired lady, in my 60's and have been a star gazer and observer of aircraft or anything in the sky for many years, but I have never seen anything like I did last night.

About 11:50 PM Thursday night, I was taking out some garbage. The sky was mostly clear with some light clouds. Air was calm. I looked up in the sky and saw a flash of light through the clouds. The light flashed on, then quickly off. It flashed on and off again within seconds, but was already quite a distance south of where I first saw it. It continued flashing and moving north to south, until out of sight. I did not see any craft or what might have caused the light.

The light illuminated an oval shape through the clouds and larger than anything I have ever seen in the sky before. I don't know the dimensions, but it dwarfed any aircraft I've ever seen. You could compare it to a honeybee on a football. There was no sound at all. There is no aircraft I know of that could illuminate such a large area. Could not tell how high it was because it was above a line of clouds the whole time, but just above the planes flying in the area, which were clearly visible.

The object remain stationary for a long period and then slowly dissipated away.

They were going really fast flying in a straight line south never changing direction. They seemed to be racing. There was no sound of there engines. I could hear a nearby helicopter but nothing from these 2. I have never seen anything like it. The only thing that I can come up with is two stealth bombers flying together.

I saw a bright blue stationary object that turned bright green and silently zoomed off faster than my head can turn.

As I was smoking a cigarette, I noticed a bright blue light at about 1 o’clock facing to my North. At first I thought it was a close bright star but it seemed to be a little too bright and big in the sky. The object stood stationary for about a minute and a half, then it turned bright green and zoomed off to the east faster than my head can turn. By the time I turned my head to follow it the light went away. I don’t know if it turned off or if it disappeared. I never believed in UFO’s or anything like that. But now I am starting to wonder. I couldn’t see any kind of shape or anything because the light was so bright. I am not saying this is a UFO for sure because I don’t know, but I don’t know of any kind of aircraft that can stay in one place, that is that bright, and that can move that fast without any noise at all.

Red glowing object traveling through the Westminster California sky

It was a round object that flew for awhile with a red glow. It floated through the sky and hovered for a bit and then slowly moved forward in direction and then disappeared out of sight. We thought it was an aircraft until its flight patten was unlike a normal aircraft and we all took pictures and realized its origen was very unlike anything we've ever seen.

Extremely fast moving, sharp turning object flying

We were outside looking at the thunderstorm over the Denver Metropolitan area, looking west and north west and I saw a long shaped object with exremely fast flashing lights.

At first I thought perhaps it was a plane, but immediately realized that it was moving incredibly fast and the lights were fluttering or flashing at a extreme rate.

As I looked up about the treeline, the object moved west northwest I would say 100x faster than an airplane, which caught my attention so I told my partner to look very quickly, she saw it as well and I lost sight of it, and she continued to see it as it immediately and sharply turned due west.

I then caught it again in my sight as it again turned sharply and immediately southwest.

My partner stated she saw an airplane below the UFO traveling at a much slower rate at in the sky just below the object.

Sphere shaped orange glowing object in the night sky

Seen a large sphere type shaped object lift up. Stopped in motion. The object was glowing like how the sun would kinda look doing an eclipse. Traveled north. Made no sound at all. The object looked like it was beating like a heart would beat. We followed the glowing object til it disappeared which was about 15 minutes. The object just vanished out of sight. The object was an orange glowing sphere object. The sky was dark with some stars. The orange glow was brighter then anything else in the sky. Even brighter then the moon. There was only one object. The object flew about a few hundred feet off the ground. Did not leave any trail like a plane would.

UFO shoots up into the sky from outside my window at about 5- 5:30 am. computer freezes and no sound after that.

I moved from Swisher, IA to Westminster, CA and i was living at my apt. for about two and a half months. i had just turned 22 sept. 20th.

One morning i think sept. 25th i could not sleep, and i have been having trouble sleeping a lot. I was lying there staring at my friends computer screen it had a screen saver that was hard to take my eyes off of when i have been awake the whole time my friend was sleeping beside me. Then the werid notion that i was not the only one awake and that i have been hearing a faint sound of something for awhile but never really relized it was there and it has been there for awhile, and as soon as this idea came into my head i look towards my window that was on the right of me. My friend had put up blankets to keep the sun out, so i could not see anything. But the very second i mean (very) second i relized and looked towards the window i heard something shoot straight up into the sky and i "can" remember the sound and how fast it! took off. It was like it knew when i relized it was there and it just took off. And as soon as it did my eyes also caught the computers screen and it froze the second that this thing took off. Ufo was the only explanation i could think of. Then i lyed there scared cause i knew that it was out there by me for awhile i never listened close enough to hear the sound. I started questioning why my window, why me? And i couldnt explan so i just lyed there confused and frightened. Soon i believe i might have heard some things talking to one another outside my window, I can remember the sounds they were making. I was very freaked out at this point scared that i was going to come face to face with a thing or things. I believe i started to cry and turned and woke up my friend in tears grabbing him and telling him there was something outside and i believe that were, aliens. The minute i woke him up our power went out for about 30 secs to a min. which seemed forever since i was already! terrified. He said he believed me but i really dont think he ! really understood the fact that those events took place and it was very real. I tried to report the sighting but did not go threw with it, the roomates kinda got me to blow it off. I did tell many people about it. I am back in IA and i have met a few people that also believe they have seen or witnessed for themselves ufo's or aliens. I just want to talk to an expert and tell them my story in real details. This really happened i need someone to actually care for once, what i say is true.

P.S sorry i sumitted my story a few times.. im a little tired.

bright light in the night sky

At exactly 5:16 am I observed a bright round light moving across the sky. The object moved at a consistent slow speed. The object was low enough that if it had been a helicopter or small aircraft I would have heard noise. I detected no sound other than a burger alarm and dog barking in the distance.

The object moved slowly across the sky for around 3 minutes before it passed behind a tree line, beyond my view.

I attempted to film the object with my Android mobile phone. Unfortunately, the overall darkness of the night sky and my shaky hand did not amount to any worthwhile capture.

Intensely bright, crescent shape to round in SE night sky

I need to preface this with the comment that I have never before believed in UFO’s as I am genuinely very cynical and could always rationally explain away any oddities. This made a firm believer of me.

I looked out my bathroom window and noticed an incredibly bright shape. Initially it was oddly shaped – best described as "cheeto" shaped--long, slightly curved on right side and indented on left. But it later changed to a round shape.

I watched this for almost 15 minutes, the time may not be exact, but close. At one point I left the room to get binoculars (I knew my camera would never capture any detail ) and the binoculars did not add any detail either as it was so bright! Shortly before it simply disappeared, it appeared to shoot out beams in red and blue. They were similar to this _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- and shot out from the lower left side, then the lower right side, but not at the same time. Then it was simply no longer there.

Orange Lighted Object Spotted In Westminster, MD.

It was 11:30pm on Sunday night, and I had looked out the sliding glass door in my bedroom because I thought one of my shed’s motion sensor lights had been activated. It turned out that it was just the bright moon that evening that was producing the light through my sliding glass door. At that point, I saw an orange ball of light in the sky when I was facing south-east towards Arters Mill Rd. It was hovering over the tree line and was probably a mile or two from my location.

I was surprised that it was stationary given how strong the wind was that night and the coloring made it look like a small sun. It was bright orange and really stood out in the clear sky. I was so intrigued by what I was seeing, that I didn’t want to leave to try and get my camera that was on the other side of the house.

I watched it for a couple of minutes and at one point, it faded out quickly to black and then reappeared at full brightness. About 30 seconds or so later, it just vanished so fast that it seemed like I was directly behind it because I saw no movement to either side of where the object was situated.

I don’t know what it was, but I’ve never seen anything like it before and there were no flashing beacon lights like helicopters and airplanes use. It was circular in shape and it appeared that there was a red aura around part of it, but it was faint. I live out in the country and am pretty much surrounded by farm land and some other houses a few acres away, so I’m not sure what could have produced that light. I also did not hear any noise aside from the wind noise that evening.

When it moved behind a large pine tree, I temporarily lost sight of it. When it didn't emerge, I moved and saw that it was now a pinpoint of light and was gone.

A magical star looking thing at a football game, right before 2 undeafeted teams played!

I was at a football game, one was ended, and one was just beginning. The previous team was having a meeting sitting down, right underneath the craft, although it was high. The craft sort of resembled a star, although the odd thing was there was a white triangular shadow underneath it.

By the time I had noticed it, several other people were looking up at it, including about a third of the football team. About 20 seconds later, it slowly faded away. Ironically, when all the people were looking up at it, I was getting out my camera, and as soon as I turned it on, it had began to fade away.

The craft was a bit higher than a normal plane would be, although the shadow stretched far down, but not nearly far enough to reach the ground.

Small Orange Light Observed Traveling South

I was taking out the trash and usually look around at the sky afterwards. I am an amateur astronomer with a good head on my shoulders. I was just about to go inside and was standing on my porch. I happened to be looking eastward and observed an orange object travel at remarkable speed from North to South. At first I thought it to be a meteor but I remembered that it was contained within the clouds as I saw it passing thru them. I thought this to be strange since the clouds were around 1000-2000 feet. That meant to me that it might have been something else. The object was silent and no other aircraft were observed in the area at that time.

Three spherical shaped objects flying in a triangle position and slowly rotating.

We noticed three spherical shaped objects to the east of where we were watching fireworks the evening of the Fourth of July. They sky was clear and visibility was perfect. At first it looked like the three objects may have been flying due west in a straight line, but then got into what looked like a triangle shape and begin to almost rotate position while they dropped in altitude (the top point of the triangle would drop down and one on the bottom would take its place). The rotation seemed to be fairly slow as all three only made one full rotation. We observed this pattern until one of the objects on the bottom of the triangle dropped out of our view and the others followed. The objects were bright white in color.

Also to the east of our location is DIA (Denver International Airport). At first, we thought it may be planes, but the object’s flight pattern would be almost impossible for a plane to follow, especially for a commercial plane that would be at DIA. We also do not think it was helicopters either because the angles at which the objects rotated and then dropped would be too sharp.

Fireworks were happening about two miles west of our location and you had to turn completely around to see these objects. They were definitely not fireworks, due to their location and that they were visible for much longer than fireworks would ever be.

Strange Helicopters Over Development

I was sitting in my living room when I heard a loud aircraft that shook the house. I ran outside to see neighbors across the street looking outside too. Then I could see the craft were 2 Apache helicopters flying very low at 500-1000 ft. They were flying in formation and obviously were not in whisper mode. They had no visible lights or typical lights on, I could only see them due to the light reflection. I thought this was strange since there are no bases nearby. I could hear them for about 5 minutes before they flew over the development. No other aircraft were visible in the vicinity at the time.

A huge Fireball changing shape and colors captured on video while moving over our house!.

At about 9:10pm eastern time a very large very brightly lit triangular object appeared hovering over a house down the street. I yelled to my 12 year old step son to come quickly! We watched it change into a diamond shape back to a sphere for about 20 seconds. At that time I told him to go grab the video camera!. He didn't know where it was so I quickly went and grabbed it and plugged it in the outside outlet. By the time I captured it on camera it had started to move north.

I caught 10 seconds of it before it flew over behind my house. It was changing colors of green, blue, white and red. It darted so fast that I yanked the cord out of the outlet and tossed the video camera to see the rest. I ran around to the side of my house and continued to watch the object move north. The fireball dimmed and I was able to see four to five smaller red lights around it. I was also able to see a gray shadow around them with what looked like a blackhole in the center. Then as quickly as it came it disappeared over the mountains.

stepped out for a smoke, looked up to maybe catch some of the meteor shower, saw what looked like a long rectangular-rounded object- looked at first like wings of an airplane but with no body or tail-moving slowly NE to SW and seemed to float across the sky higher than an airplane would fly. it was a soft gray color with no lights of any sort, but seemed to be reflecting the city lights below with a little bit of haze in the air. seeming higher than an airplane, it still apeared to have the length just short of a full moon. i got my binoculars and watched as it seemed to rotate 90 degrees and back again and yet with no pattern or controlled movement- as if it were merely floating silently through the night. as it rotated it looked, through the binoculars, as if it had a more of a shape of a passenger jet fuselage but with no wings, tail or distinguishable markings. as it crossed the sky and passed about 60 degrees azimuth(?) it veered in a more southerly direction and out of sight. the entire time of viewing was maybe 10 minutes.

Small Translucent Reflecting Object

At 5:30 A.M. on October the 8th I was standing out in the parking lot of my job having a break with a friend. He all of a sudden looked up and said what the heck is that? I looked up and saw a small car sized translucent shape moving slowly across the sky. It was silent and reflecting the lights of the parking lot off of the bottom of it. There really wasn't a shape to it...it was just a mass moving across the sky reflecting everything that it flew over from the bottom. We watched it until we could'nt see it any longer. It continued to reflect items that it flew over until it was out of site. Very strange...I felt puzzled not frightened, but it struck me as something definitely not of this world. I am glad that my friend was witness to it as well as myself so I know I'm not crazy!

cigar shaped segmented flying object sighted over Broomfield / Boulder CO

I was heading towards US36 on Church Ranch Rd when I saw an object in the skies heading towards the mountains. It was shaped like a fuselage of an airplane and at first thought it to be such. It was very large and difficult for me to deterime just how distant it was. I would guess 2-4 miles. I consider it larger than the biggest of airbusses. I kept looking for a tail fin and tail wings but could not locate either. It was the same for the major wings. This object was segmented into 3 segments. The fore and aft segments were of the same size and color ( silverish-white ). The segment in the middle was approximately 1/3 of their size and white. That would be the part where one would expect to see the major wings of an airplane. I never saw them materialize into wings from my perspective. Other vehicles were around but as usual noone was looking up. I was traveling the entire time and observed it for 1-2 minutes. It appeared to move a little faster than the largest airplanes I have seen at about the same distance. I am going to guess that this object was about 40 degrees going mostly East to West. The strangest thing about this sighting is that I became disoriented after watching it and I feel that on occasion since then I still have periods of disorientation or confusion, if you will, in my work that is not normally present. The background was mostly sunny with partial clouds. I never saw this go thru the clouds.

Eight circular objects destroyed one of their own.

These 8 objects were white and circular in shape, they moved from side to side up and down with great speed. There were two round shapes on the right side and two round shapes on the left side. With two more circular objects just beneath the other two. The two objects seem to follow the object in the center of all 8.

One object moved downward away fron the others and was at a standstill.

The other two objects also moved downward and positioned themselves next to the single object...they stood next to the single object for approximatley thirty or forty seconds, then moved away form the single object at an accelerated speed.

The other 5 round object just seemed to disappear in mid air. The single object all of a sudden exloded in mid air. I did not see anything falling from the explosion it was just a large ball of fire and then turned into black smoke and it was all over in about five minutes.

Twin orange balls seen over Westminster Ca

Unidentified object in night sky Thursday, May 4 , 2006 @2240 hrs

I was standing at the N/E corner of Westminster Ave and Golden West St (33‘ 45“ 35.14* N and 118‘ 00“ 24,65* W). I had just bought a cup of coffee and a do-nut.

I saw a object in the sky about 45 degrees above the horizon in a N/W direction from where I was standing. It was off in the distance and I would estimate it at about five thousand feet. It appeared to be two orange balls that were close together and were blending together. It appeared to be hovering. There was no noise.

I watched it for about thirty seconds then saw a green object fall from the bottom of it and move off in a S/W direction (relative to the orange balls) into the cloud cover and disappear.

After about another ten seconds another green object (like the first but not as bright) dropped out of it and moved off in a N/E direction (relative to the orange balls) and again disappeared into the cloud cover.

After about another ten seconds the orange balls slowly faded out and disappeared.

At the time there were two search lights (like the ones you would see at a grand opening of a store) scanning the sky about ten degrees to the left of what I saw (east of my location).

It was moving quickly southbound between Golden West and Beach Blvd passing over the 22 FWY. The object was going level to the ground until it disappeared.

My friend and i where outside smoking and noticed that there was quite a few falling stars.I was facing to the north and he was facing me to the south when all of a sudden his eyes got really big and i ask him what he was looking at and he said "There's a real good one there",as he pointed to the sky behind me.I turned around to look and i saw something in the southern sky that appered to be a nice,bright falling star.The object was falling just as all falling stars do which is kinda straight down.But at some point in it's desent this object totally stopped falling and began moving towards the east in a long "S" pattern.It continued towards the east until the cloud cover blocked our view.I can honestly say that i do not know what it was that we saw.The only thing that we could think that it could have been if not a ship of some kind,would be that it was a falling object that was burning as it entered the atmospehre(forgive my spelling),and as it was falling and burning it was becomeing lighter,Until it was light enough to be picked up by the jet-stream And carried away.They say that "seeing is beliving",well i can honestly say that we saw whatever this thing was.I don't belive that every report on this or any other site are the truth.I belive that a lot of ufo sightings are not true at all.But this one is the truth,and nothing but the truth,so help me god.I truly do not know what we saw the other night.

amber orb chevron fly -by over evening backyard party

We were on the back deck of a neighbors home about an hours ago, the deck was facing north and I was looking north west and a chevron of amber orbs came into view moving NW going SSE. I yelled for the other folks on the deck to look up and a group of guys all looked up at once to see the chevron fly by. They were moving faster then a normal fighter jets would. There were no running lights or red and green light you would expect to see on a airplane. As the chevron passed by I noticed a deviation of two orbs moving out of formation and then right back into formation. Since we had music playing through outside speakers I could not distingush a sound factor, I would say the chevron was about 15k up, you would think if they were jets you would have heard something. Knowing that other folks on the deck witnessed this event made me feel much more at easy. We all spoke about the event for a while and drop the subject. This was a very strange event, definitly not planes, jets or satellites, these thing were moving at a very fast rate of speed. At first sight I thought it was one unit, but when the deviation out of formmation happend it seemed they were all separate but moving in tandem with each other.I'm a 51 year old , professional business person. All the other folk involved are all professional business people as well. This was a very intresting experence to say the least.

Bright object breaks up over Orange County sky

I was out back and looked up almost 90 degrees and saw a bright round object moving from South to North. As it was at 90 degrees my son joined me and we both observed bright pieces moving West from the main bright spot. It than seemed to break up and the light faded out. I suspect that this was something going through re-entry, but I do not understand how the pieces moved away from the main unit at a 90 degree angle.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Silent, Black Triangle with lights on the corners and amber, glowing lights at rear of craft.

Just after 9:30pm on 10/25/03 I was standing out on the 2nd floor balcony of my girlfriend's apartment smoking a cigarette and looking out towards the southwest at the stars. I suddenly noticed the stars disappear momentarily which then transferred my vision on to what caused the effect - a completely dark triangular craft with two or three unblinking red lights, very small lights, on the top of it. I immediately thought it was an airplane as Jefferson County Airport is only 5-6 miles away, but it was *completely* silent. It was maybe 3 blocks away from me at an altitude of about 500 feet and traveling no more than 60mph or so. I'd estimate it's size at about 3 times that of a standard F16 fighter. It was most definitely not a stealth fighter or a B2 bomber; I'm familiar with military and civilian aircraft and this fit none of the profiles. Once I was able to track it with my vision I followed it's path, which was south, and was able to see three dim white lights at each corner of the triangle. Also at this time, I was able to see the "rear" end of the craft which exhibited 3 or 4 (was hard to tell) circular, amber-colored (or glowing amber, I'm not sure) lights. (I'll email drawing) Finally, as the craft got farther away and was ready to pass out of sight into some low clouds, I heard a single, very short and very faint "whump" sound...almost impossible to hear, it was extremely faint and was the only sound I heard during the entire sighting. I'd estimate the distance at the time of the sound was about 1/2 mile from my location. If I'd not been watching the craft at the time I never would have noticed it.

That's about it, thanks for your time. Contact me for more info if needed. I'll also send a drawing of what I saw.

Couple sees object while looking at Mars.

My girlfriend just came home from work and I asked her if she had seen mars (it was a cloudless clear night with Mars as the brightest object in the sky). She didn't pay any attention to it coming home so we went outside on the balcony to look at it. Just as we were looking at Mars a triangular or V-shaped object appeared from the southwest sky and moved towards the northeast. It was a dark gray color, which made it visible in the sky. It wasn't a smooth object but seemed like it had a rough and textured exterior. She asked me if "I see that," and I said, "Yes." She asked me "What it was," and "Is that a bird," I stated "I don't know," and we watched it move across the sky. It made no sound and had no movement except across the sky. The entire sighting lasted 10-15 seconds at which point it disappeared out of view behind a building.

Afterwards, we kept asking each other what it was. If it was a plane it would have had lights (it didn't) and made some noise. If it was a bird or a flock of birds such as geese it would have had movement and possibly made noise. It did neither. I thought to myself that it could be a satellite but it was too low. I do not believe in UFO's but my girlfriend does. So my only conclusion is a government test plane. But I can not get over the fact that if it was a test plane, why would they fly it over a populated area when people are sure to be looking up at Mars? So I decided to post this to see if anybody else happened to see the same thing.

strange bright lights fly over rural Maryland

While walking my two dogs on January 4, 2003 at 2050 hrs, in front of my house I noticed what looked to be a bright object in the sky over my neighbors house and assumed it was a shooting star. The object was moving from west to east at a steady pace then behind this object appeared three additional bright white light objects that would be the size of an egg held at arms lenght. The light from these objects was as if it was revolving. There was no color, just white light. then there were two other groups of the objects that appeared out of the western sky and flew east out of my sight. No sound was made and the distance in the sky seemed to be about 1500 feet high. They were close. I counted 15 objects, the flight pattern seemed to be in a straight line. I live two miles from the Westminster Airport and I'm used to seeing all types of flying craft, but at 46 years of age I've never seen anything like this before. I called my husband, who is a police officer for the State of Maryland and he tried to contact the local airport at 2100 hrs, but it was closed. We watched the news to see if anyone else reported the lights in the sky but to no avail.

Triangle craft seen in Westminster Colorado.

Triangle shape. Could not make out color. Low cloud cover that morning. The craft was flying just inside the cloud. enough to make out faint outline and lights. There was a light on the bottom in each of the three corners. There were also lights at about the midpoint of each side. Those lights were at the upper and bottom part of the sides. These lights seem to blink or pulse in a certain pattern while changing colors. The craft was moving approx. 400 miles/hr, and there was no sound. The craft flew about 1/8 to 1/4 of a mile to the west of my position, using the clouds for cover. I would estimate the craft was about 200 to 300 ft above ground. I watched it until it vanished into the clouds about .5 to 1 mile north of my position. I noticed the craft when looking at the mountains out of my work window. I thought it might be a reflection of a passing car or a plane landing at the jeffco airport. I went outside to rule out reflection, and it was still there. I ruled out plane when I noticed that it made no sound and was traveling parrelel to the airport runway's. I also ruled out plane by the way the lights were flashing.

We saw 2 unusual shapes early evening, both objects changed color and shape for approx 30min.

On Saturday July 22, my husband & I were returning home when I noticed 2 objects in the sky. At first I thought they were kites. After realizing how high up in the sky they were, I then thought they might be hot air baloons. One was shaped like a cigar and the other one like a snake. Neither of the objects were moving but were not close together. Stopping to look at the objects we noticed the cigar shaped one started to teeter totter. Both objects then started to travel to the west. I immediately called my brother and had him go outside to see if he could get a better look at them. He definitely could see them so we went to his house. Both objects stopped traveling again. The snake shaped object changed into a ball shape and then disappeared. The cigar shaped object stayed in place then started changing color. It changed from the original brown/black color to silver, blue, red, white, and then back to brown/black. It seemed to get bigger as if coming closer toward us. It then changed shape, zoomed in like it was being squished, and then zoomed out to its cigar shape. It then turned and started traveling west a short distance, stopped, turned again and started traveling east a short distance, and stopped again. It then started rising up in to the clouds then came back out of the clouds. The sky was pretty clear except for a few clouds here and there. It then started traveling south for a short distance then went straight up unitl it was a pin dot. Looking through binoculars, we were able to find it for just a moment. The shape and color had changed again. It was now a very long cigar shape and was now red and white alternating stripes. At no time did either object make any sounds. We never saw the snake shaped object again and never saw the cigar shaped one either after that.

My brother and I have witnessed UFOs and cattle mutilations before. We have also had huge circular burn marks in our fields at our farm many years ago. So we continue to look up at the skies.

We are near an international airport so see planes when they are in their landing pattern. In relation to an airplane in the sky at when it comes in, both objects were at least 3 times the size in length and probably 2 times the width.

I observed an unusually bright pure red light by itself, it was the size of a pea held at arms length. It was coming from the South West, a compass reading of 225 degrees and was headed North East, a compass reading of 45 degrees.

It was January 26, 2000 at 7:10 PM (PST) when I observed an unusually bright pure red light by itself, it was the size of a pea held at arms length. It was coming from the South West, a compass reading of 225 degrees and was headed North East, a compass reading of 45 degrees. I was observing this unusually bright pure red light, waiting for it to turn or pass over me to see if it was an aircraft with the typical complement of flying lights. I watched this object for two minutes, then my daughter called to me and I looked down to her for two seconds. When I then looked back up at the red light, it was no longer there, instead there was a bright white cloud, it was the size of a silver dollar held at arms length. I ask my eight year old daughter to look up at this bright white cloud and I pointed where this bright white cloud was. After two minutes the white cloud had dissipated. There was no sound of an explosion. I live in Westminaster, California where I observed this red light. To me this red light looked like it was coming from Long Beach, California and when it disappeared it was over Huntington Beach, California. After the white cloud dissipated my daughter went in the house and I continued watching for another ten minutes, but the red light was no longer visible. I live seven miles away from MacArthur airport and see airport traffic almost every day for the last fourteen years. I was enlisted in the United State Air Force for five years, stationed on five different bases including one base over seas, been to several air shows and familiar with all types of aircraft.

Shape: Diamond

I looked up, at about a 165 degree angle, and spotted what appeared to be a silent white radiant elongated diamond shaped object, it was the size of a number two eraser held at arms length, it looked to be two to three miles away and was slowly coming down. It was flashing "ON" and "OFF" at 4 times a second and was twice as bright as the sun.

On August 7, 1999 between approximately 10:35 AM to 10:55 AM (PST) I was sitting down outside for awhile in my front yard facing to the North, when something caught my attention in the corner of my eye. I looked up, at about a 165 degree angle, and spotted what appeared to be a silent white radiant elongated diamond shaped object, it was the size of a number two eraser held at arms length, it looked to be two to three miles away and was slowly coming down. It was flashing "ON" and "OFF" at 4 times a second and was twice as bright as the sun. At first I thought it was a piece of aluminum paper, so I watched it because it being as twice as bright as the sun. I continued observing, for it was slowly come down towards me, while it was flashing "ON" and "OFF". When the object dropped behind the house across the street from me. I thought if it was a piece of aluminum paper that that would be it, but it was not so. Because now this object appeared to the right of the house across the street, to me this object appeared to be two or three blocks away. The object continued moving slowly to the right and up, until it was an inch above the house next door. At that point, the object stopped and stayed stationary for about one or two minutes, still flashing "ON" and "OFF". The object then started to move up and to the left away from me, just as slowly as it came down, all the while flashing "ON" and "OFF". At this point I knew now that this object was not a piece of aluminum paper, but a vehicle of some type. The object continued to go up higher and higher into the sky, until it was two or three miles away. It then stopped and stayed stationary, all the while continuing to flash "ON" and "OFF". A minute or two later I then saw a jetliner coming from the right towards object and when the jetliner came to within the distance of my fist, held at arms length, the object stopped flashing and the light went out. When the jetliner pass the object, the distance of my fist held at arms length, the object began ! flashing again "ON" and "OFF", again 4 times a second. A minute or so later another jetliner came from the left towards the object and when the jet later came to within the distance of my fist, held at arms length, the object stopped flashing and the light went out. When the jetliner passed the object, the distance of my fist held at arms length, the object began flashing again "ON" and "OFF", again 4 times a second. The object then continued up and away from me till I no longer could see it. Total viewing time was about 22 minutes. The skis were clear and no visible winds. I live in Westminaster, California and live seven miles away from MacArthur airport and see airport traffic almost every day for the last fourteen years.

The low-hanging cloud looked too dense

In about 1995 I was living in Oconee County, South Carolina. I was driving south on Highway 11 towards Highway 24 where there's an overpass. It was pre-dusk. I was about a mile away from the intersection when I noticed a strange looking cloud hanging low over the overpass. It was a grey, cloudy day but the cloud that caught my attention stood out from the background. It didn’t look right, it looked too dense. Suddenly five strobe-like lights flashed from the cloud in a 1-2-3-4-5-5-4-3-2-1 horizontal pattern. It was over in a second. I immediately flashed my headlights five times and kept driving. I exited at the overpass and drove under the cloud and stopped. I looked up but couldn't see anything. Weeks later my husband said he was on his way home less than a mile from the overpass. It was just past sunset, a clear night. He said he saw what at first looked like a brightly lit semi trailer-truck cross Highway 24 in front of him. Except, it was about 30 feet up in the air. Seconds later, by the time he got to where it had crossed the road it had disappeared behind a fire tower and some trees. There's no cross street there, only pasture and a dirt driveway to the tower. He said he wasn't sure of the shape of the object, only that it seemed about the size of a semi, 40-50 feet long or so.

In March of 1994, I was riding in a car heading south on Wadsworth Blvd toward 92nd in Westminster. I looked west at the sunset and above the mountains was a bright light like a star. It was a little too bright, so I stared at the object for a few. The bright round star started moving south very slowly. I thought it was the motion of the car at first because we were moving south but then it started accelerating very quickly while at the same time changing into different colors. It flash through at least all visible colors ROYGBIV and then shot off, in a flash, it was gone. It was like a reverse shooting star; leaving our atmosphere instead of entering it. The object was far away somewhere above the Rocky Mountains.

I can confirm the object sat still for approximately 20 seconds. By the time the object started moving, and accelerated, changed many colors, and shot off and disappeared it took less the 10 seconds. So I watched a total of 30 seconds. It all happened just north of the railroad tracks on Wadsworth Blvd and 92nd. I remember going over the tracks right after thinking “what was that?”

A white puffy cottonball appeared and then a triangle emerged from it. It was totally silent and had a light on each corner.

A white puffy cottonball appeared toward the northeast at about 40 degrees in the sky, and then a triangle emerged from it. My husband and I were looking for meteors, and we both saw it. We were on our deck in the back yard. It was completely silent and moved slowly from northeast to southwest. I thought it was electromagnetic because all the hairs on my arms stood straight up like with static electricity from a balloon. It was spooky. I thought about running in the house, but I couldn't stop watching it.

It drifted along rather slowly and then stopped, tilted so that the lights appeared to line up, and blinked out. I saw a red light at each corner of the object, but my husband saw a white light at each corner.

This was the night that the Pope and the President were in Denver (about 15 miles south of us) at Regis University. There was no air traffic at all while we were outside, which was unusual. It was about the length of your thumb held at arm's length.

Shape: Teardrop
Characteristics: Aircraft nearby

It appeared to be the shape of upside down teardrop.

In early spring of 1986, possibly 1987, 3 or 4 of us saw what appeared to be the shape of upside down teardrop (round part on top). It kind of looked like a white ice cream cone. The bottom (pointy part) of the object was pure white and looked like cotton balls stuck together. No other clouds in the sky except for a few high altitude clouds. You could barely see the top (round part of the teardrop), but it reflected the sunlight and you could tell it was silver/gray. This was in the middle of the day at Zerger Elementary. It was motionless with no sound. It sat in one spot for about 30-45 minutes then we had to return to class from recess.

One of the kids (we were in 5th grade) begged the teacher to go back out and see this unknown object but the teacher refused. I wanted to ditch and go home to get a camera (film days). We were young and it’s been 30 years (2016) but it definitely was there.

More on exact location: Zerger Elementary is in Westminster on the edge of Arvada on about 90th and field street and the object was right above Jeffco Airport now known as Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport or possibly above west Broomfield.

From Zerger Elementary looking up and north slightly east, about 40 degrees from the horizon, it was about the size of a nickel at arm's length. The object was pretty large for a busy area.

I wondered, at the time, how this airport doesn’t see the stationary object of this size?
