Colorado UFO Sightings in 2005

Full Report Text:

Circular lights ran pattern over and over in sky Received a call from my daughter that there were weird lights over a field near Timberline. My son and I drove out there and parked the car. We witnessed approximately 8 lights in a circular formation that would rotate, come together in the middle and the back out in a circle and rotate again.

This happened in a pattern. The lights were in a cloud, so there was no visible signs of a craft, but there seemed to be no spotlights or store signs that could have caused this.

9 objects that appeared to be bright hovering lights, then lit up, dimmed, moved to the east and began blinking. A friend and I were watching TV when around 5:27 he went out to the balcony of my apartment for a smoke. I live up on a hill on the border of Golden and Lakewood that overlooks Denver and its suburbs to the north.

He knocked on the window for me to come and look at something. I am a MUFON Investigator so I watch the skies often. He pointed out a bright greenish light in the sky to the NNE.

It was just sitting there perfectly still. I thought it looked very strange so I grabbed my binoculars. He then pointed out that there were actually 4 objects.

All of them were still. That looked even more interesting so I grabbed my video camera. Once I got out there with the camera they began moving.

When I got my camera on them there were three left. The forth had moved off to the east. When I began video taping one object began to move off to the east, and one to the west.

The one to the west then came back moving to the east. Then while filming the remaining light, which was perfectly still, just its right and above it another light lit up. Soon after, the bottom light lit up very brightly.

When it got very bright, it appeared like an angled disk shape. It then began to move to the east like the rest and dim out. All of them did this when they flew easy and as they got dimmer they also began to blink.

The remaining light did the same thing. It began to get extremely bright, and then it began moving east. Here again it would get dimmer and begin to blink.

This can all be seen on the tape. As it moved to the east, I noticed yet another light appear the same place the last one had appeared. This one was dimmer and began move to the east blinking immediately.

When the tress got in the way I stopped filming. However, we could see at least two of the light off in the distance over Denver. Then after a few minutes they began to fade too dim to see.

At this point I called the Director of Investigations to let him know what we saw. That call was made at about 5:55. While on the call at about 6:15, my friend could see another light appearing in the same spot they had appeared before.

I got off the phone and went back with the camera, however right when I got the camera on it, it faded very dim. My friend saw another one of them over Denver that was lighting up very bright again. Again once I got the camera on it, it faded out.

Because I thought they might be reacting to the camera I put it away. A couple minutes later another light appeared where the others had. This time, this one stayed still.

It looked like it actually was two light side by side. As it sat there another light began to light just below it to the left. The light appearing looked very disk shaped through the binoculars.

After 30 seconds or so as it finally seemed to be finished appearing or whatever it was doing and they both moved to the east. One headed east over Denver, the other seemed to keep a regular distance from us and moved in an arc to the east with us in the middle. Once it got due south of us, it just seemed to hover out there.

We then noticed one out over Denver. This one seemed to be east of downtown and it had two lights, one at either end. It moved south and appeared very large for as far away it was.

I would say about half the size of a dime at arms length. The light towards the front was brighter, and eventually the light at the back began to pulse. It eventually dimmed out.

We could see one of the light heading east still, but after a couple minutes it began to get too dim also. At this point the light to the south was no longer visible either. In total we saw nine of these objects and got seven on tape.

You can look for yourself, but it does not appear that these objects had the characteristics of any known craft. The closest would be a helicopter, but that would not explain why some appeared to come out of no where, and why they seemed solid at first. It also would not explain the apparent disk shape.

Two other things I would like to note, although they seem extraordinary is that they seemed to react to being video taped, and they seemed to intentionally blink to mimic airplanes. ((NUFORC Note: We express our sincere gratitude to this MUFON member for submitting such an excellent report. This is one of two reports submitted by this individual, over the last three years.

I noticed,in the eastern dawning sky, 2 stars(1 moving). Object was very high in the sky as I probably was seeing sunlight reflecting off said object. Quickly covered about 3 degrees across the sky, stopped and faded from view, as if going away from me.

Disappeared as if dropped in clear water and fades from view.

I was in the car looking at the sky at about 6:00 a.m. and I look over to see a gold light glowing across the sky for about two seconds and I blinked and it was gone.

Circular glowing object falls and the disappears. This happened two times, seen in close proximity of each other, on two different nights, two of us witnessed it one night and the other witnessed it a night a few months before that. When it happened my friend and I were outside a friends house having a cig, a very good sized (about 3/4 the size of a full moon) circular blueish/greenish/white fireball with a good size trail following came falling straight down as if it were on a crash course with the south east horizon.

As it got very close to the horizon it disappeared as if nothing ever happened.

Cigar shaped object over the frontyard of my house flashed green and orange lights in my face. I was out in my frontyard. And I saw a cigar shaped like object that was orange with a green tail on it and it flashed in my face.

I watched the object as it went over my house. And I lost it in the clouds. And then I saw the object again.

My friend that was over at my house came out and looked at the object. The object was going to the west and we lost sight of the object and we didn't see it no more. This happened on November 19, 2005 on a Saturday night at 7:55 P.

M. It was a cloudy night. We went back in the house and came back outside and the object was no where in sight.

saw a white circle in the sky. I was walking to my house with my brother and saw a white circle in the cloudy skies. I thought it was a person witha flashlight moving it around in the sky.

My friend said it's a person doin' somethin' i dunno. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the event is approximate. PD)).

Bright white object in Littleton, CO brilliant white in color. Flying parallel to the ground. Height was hard to tell it was dark and I didn't have a point of reference, but if I had to say, it was no higher than a helicopter would fly.

It bobbed violently towards the ground, then back up again and disappeared.

Slow moving craft made no sound, had incredibly bright lights that didn't illuminate the trees or ground. I was leaving our tent situated next to the Yampa river, 15 miles south of Steamboat Springs, at 4:45 in the morning to go hunt elk. Our camp was in a tight river valley, between two mountains.

The air temperature was 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with clear skies and no wind. (calm) The valley is approximately 700 yards wide. I saw a craft come down off of Morrison Mountain, following the contour of the ground about 250 ft from the surface.

It went by us, 100 ft to the north, and continued along the river valley, and went around Blacktail Mountain out of our line of sight. The craft was traveling 25 mph and made no noise at all. The craft had intense white lights and flashing red lights.

The lights however did not illuminate the ground or trees which was odd because it was very close to the ground. The craft was 20 feet long.

Three green spheres flew above us for nearly 45 minutes in Longmont, CO and light flashes appeared in sequence behind 4 clouds. My daughter (who is ((deleted)) at CSU and also works for ((deleted)) in Ft. Collins) and I were visiting a friend in Longmont, CO last Thursday night, 11/3/05.

We noticed three green circular shapes moving high above us. The dog had been acting very strangely during dinner, to the point that our host had gone outside to see if anyone was there. During the event the cows were mowing loudly next door, and following the event, the wind chimes seemed to ring very loudly all at once.

It lasted between 30 and 45 minutes. The "objects" did not seem to be opaque, but almost like circles of light. We also noticed extensions from the sides, almost like wings which made a flying or flapping motion.

They flew in patterns, almost parallel at times, and other times in more opposite figure eight-like patterns. They most interesting thing they did was occasionally "collide", after which they would ricochet apart and fly randomly until they got back into some kind of pattern. We were not afraid, because they appeared almost "playful" in nature.

There were no sounds that we could hear. In addition, there was a strange flashing behind four clouds, which were close together. The flashes would jump in sequence from one cloud to the next, although sometimes it would skip one of the four clouds, and only flash behind the other three.

((NUFORC Note: Possible advertising lights?? PD)).

Glowing disc seen below clouds. I was walking my dog in East Vail looking to the northeast. There was extensive cloud cover and a fairly brisk breeze blowing the clouds along.

I looked up and saw a glowing elliptical object moving below the clouds. It was yellow/white in the center and reddish/orange around the edge. Their were no blinking lights and no sound.

It appeared to be about three times the size of Mars right now which is on a close approach to Earth. I had the object in sight for about 5-6 seconds before it slipped into the clouds and was gone. A short time later the clouds blew out and I could see the stars of Cassiopeia in the area where the disc was.

I was so sure of what I saw I called the local police to report it and leave my number in case anyone else saw it. I am a MUFON investigator and will be filing a report with MUFON.

10/25/05 8:30pm several lights floating in sky and disappeared one by one I was driving south on ninth st. in Canon City when 3 lights appeared in the sky. They stayed for a moment and then the first one disappeared.

As it disappeared another appeared just past the two remaining. This kept up in the same fashion for about five minutes and then they all just disappeared. The lights never appeared to be moving, just floating in a line for a few moments and then disappearing.

I don't believe in UFO's, but this has me perplexed. I would like too know if anyone else saw this. Also, after I saw this , just moments later I saw what at first I thought was a shooting star but now I wonder.

The objects were reflective and the movement was not wind driven and appeared in the field at once. I was in downtown Denver and just happened to look up in the Northern sky at a jet coming over head. The fall day was clear, no clouds in the sky, and the temperature was in the low 70’s.

The Sun was low in the western sky and blocked by high rise building. The jet reflected the silver off the body of the aircraft. I just happened to look off to the side and I noticed a small rice grain shaped object that was a reddish brown color, very subdued.

I watched it and at first I thought I was watching a very high flying bird or weather balloon. I now saw another object that appeared to be about the same size. I looked at my clock on the wall and it was 17:25 (5:25 PM MST).

I continued to watch for about 5 minutes as the two faint objects went around each other. If I held out a silver dollar at arms length the two things would have circles that item. At about 17:31 (5:31 PM MST) I noticed a very bright object appear.

Now that looked like a weather balloon, very bright, silver colored and the other two objects circled it. One of the smaller object started to move southeast and a slow rate, about the speed of a satellite crossing the night sky. The larger object and a smaller one stayed in the area of the northern sky, high angle to me.

I was under the impression that the objects were reflective and the light was reflected from the Sun and they were very high in altitude. At this time a friend, lady was leaving the building and I showed her the two small objects and the larger one. The objects were as follows.

The small one was traveling south east and I showed her. The larger one was in the northern sky with one of the smaller one. At this time another small object just appeared.

We both saw it and the lady stayed for a few minutes and watched but left to get a bus to go home. It was 17:36 (5:36 PM MST. A friend that worked with me came on station, (Court Security Officers) and I showed him the objects.

The first small one was moving slow and almost east of us and the larger one was moving in that direction. I lost sight of the two and as my friend and I watched, two more appeared, we looked at each other and I said, “God they look like weather balloons but they move as if powered. The first small one was still moving southeast and went behind a building and we lost sight.

The bright, larger one was moving south east and as it was east of us just stopped. At this time the two lost objects came from the north and passed by the larger one with in 30 seconds and were gone out of sight. The large bright object appeared to have stopped and I I would not have seen what took place I would have thought that I was looking at Venus or Sirius at this time.

Several other people came by and we showed them the object, they saw it and thought it was a star or weather balloon. One of the younger men stated that the bight object looked cylindrical in shape and was reflective. That object stayed in the east and I had high rise buildings covering 75% of the sky.

I am ((deleted--sixties)), retired ((civil servant; considerable responsibility, ((deleted--three decades)) years in the military, active and reserve, I have had a telescope sense 1957 and have seen everything in the sky that could be observed in that time. I in my life can not explain this one. I would have thought it to be a weather balloon at first but not the way it moved and stayed in position.

The reflective silver of the one object and the five others were a reflective redish brown color and fainter the large one. When the large object just appeared with the two smaller ones I was floored, I can not explain that sighting. I you need to contact me please do so.

A bright white light hovered over Pueblo Blvd. bridge over the Arkansas River, about 30 ft. above traffic, but no traffic seemed to see My friends and I were parked in my friend's car at Pueblo City Park, in the dirt lot directly behind the skate park.

We were parked right next to the drop off to the Arkansas river and the fence to the little basesball park behind the skate park. We were facing the bridge of Pueblo Blvd as it goes over the Arkansas River. We were sitting there for about 20 seconds before we noticed there was an odd light hovering above the Pueblo Blvd.

bridge. It was a bright white light, but the light from this object seemed to only radiate outwards horizontally, diagonally upward, and seemingly upwards. It did not appear that the light could have been seen should you have been lower in elevation than it was in the slightest.

The elevation of the craft was approximately the same as our current elevation, as the bridge seemed to be 25-30ft lower in elevation. We could not see what the shape of the craft was. We were amazed because it was hovering directly over passing cars, but those cars apparently were not aware of the bright white light we saw above them and no glare from the white light shown off the cars or the road.

It sat there for about 15 minutes, ever so slightly wavering back and forth along the length of the road, and to our amazement no cars beneath were aware of this bright white light above them. Then the light turned off and there was nothing where it had been. About another minute later the white light turned back on, but it was closer to us, over the river, about halfway between us and the bridge it had previously hovered over.

This time, there were two more lights apparently attached to the craft. The big white light on top, a small orange light to the bottom right beneath the white one, and a small red light to the bottom left of the white light, just slightly lower than the orange one. All of these lights were round at this time.

The white light appeared to shine like a light bulb, in every direction equally, and out of the middle of this appeared part of the light was focusing like ! a spotli ght. The glare from the shifting spotlight effect started at our upper left, then appeared to scan across us to the bottom right, then back to the upper left. I began filming the light with my video phone, and the light moved closer to us over the river.

This was the closest it had gotten to us. Just as my 45-second recording ended, we noticed a pair of headlights behind us driving toward where we were, and we watched to see if it was a cop. You're not allowed to be in the park past 10pm, which we were doing, so we wanted to know if it was a cop.

Well, it was. We could see the spotlights on it and the emergency light fixture on top. It drove up behind our car and we started our car and started to drive off, the whole time the ufo was still shining brightly, proudly displaying itself over the river.

The cop followed us out of the skate park area onto a one way road out of the park with no turn offs. We didn't look back, but the cop's headlights were very bright and very close behind us. All of the sudden the headlights turn off.

We look back, and where there had been a cop driving behind us not even 30ft behind, there was nothing but an empty road for about 125ft behind us. There was no where for the cop to turn off and the road behind us was well lit by a street light. That cop car simply vanished.

The next night we returned to the same spot. There was that same light hovering over the same bridge, but this time the light was just slightly dimmer, and the white light attached to the craft appeared to be a pyramid-shaped bright white light that was rotating counterclockwise. Each edge of this pyramid shaped white light seemed to be darker than the flat surfaces emitting the light.

Again, while it was hovering over the road it did not have the lower orange and red lights turned on. It hovered over the bridge for about 10 minutes, then the light turned off and it vanished. About five minutes after that, it turned its light back on, appearing on our side of the bridge, but off to the right above the tree line.

This time, the red and orange lights were turned on again and the white light was too bright to see the pyramid shape. It kept the same elevation the whole time, but moved around very very slowly over the trees. It then turned all lights off and vanished again.

About 5 seconds later, it re-appeared in the direction of the Arkansas river, but at least 4 miles farther away. It moved back and forth for about 15 seconds, then turned off again. About 5 seconds later, it appeared even farther away on the horizon, moved around for about 15 seconds, then turned off again.

We sat there for about half an hour and it re-appeared between us and the bridge, over the river, but this time slightly lower in elevation to us. This was the closest it had gotten to us. The red light on the bottom began to slowly increase in intensity, then decrease, then increase, and back and forth.

The main white light appeared to scan us again and the craft began moving even closer to us. This time it didn't appear it was trying to scare us off by slightly moving toward us, this time it looked like the thing was coming for us. My friend started his car, peeled out backing up while turning around, then peeled out toward the exit to the skate park area.

The white light behind us came right up to where our car had been parked, and m! y friend floored it toward the exit to city park, as it exits onto Pueblo Blvd. The light did not follow us out of the skate park area, it just came right up to where we had been parked and we lost sight of it. At the closest, this light was about 4/5 of a football field away from us.

The only thing we could think is that it was a military drone aircraft of some type. Also, this craft never made any sound we could hear. Both nights it was about 10pm and both nights were very dark with very little star visibility.

((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Full Report Text:

I witnessed five lights that became stationary and moved in to a pattern that looked like the number five on a dice. I saw what originally looked like five lights of aircraft heading east towards me over the mountains, all in a line, one after the other. As they got closer, the lights took up a stationary position in a row off in the distance, then moved to what looked like a perfect number five from a dice.

They didn't move from this position for approximately 30 seconds, then one by one they flew off quickly to the northwest until they were quickly out of sight. This happened around 18:00 hours, from memory I believe it was late October or early November, it was dark, and this occurred during my drive home from work. I have never before, or since, seen what could be considered a U.

F.O. I was around 43 at the time.

Silver Cigar Shaped object flying over I-25 downtown Denver at 2pm on a clear day I was driving back to work from lunch break on I-25 headed North. I saw people pulled over on the freeway and thought it was wierd. About 15 seconds later I noticed an army helicopter flying in a circle.

I looked straight ahead and saw a MASSIVE silver thing flying across the freeway from downtown towards the mountains. This thing was shiny like my wedding band, and shaped like a cigar. The helicopter was following this thing! It crossed over I-25 about a mile ahead of me, and about 1000 - 1500 feet up in the air and was about the length of a basketball court.

I watched this for about a minute, and actually pulled over and got out of my car. I lost sight of it over Invesco field. DID YOU SEE THIS TOO? I need to talk to someone that saw this thing too, so that I know I'm not crazy.

I have always been sort of a skeptic but I SAW THIS THING! It flew slower than an airplane and it had NO WINGS, NO FINS, and NO PROPELLERS. It was like seeing a cigar dipped in silver flying slowly across the sky. What was it? There were no lights or anything.

It passed in front of a cloud and you could really see how big this thing was. I wish I had a camera! Did anyone else?.

It was around 9pm and I was at just going out side for a cigg. break. And i looked up in the sky and seen a bright red and yellow light repeating colors.

I thought it was a plane. But before i gave up looking at it, the light moved extremely fast upward apx. 300 ft.

and stopped instantly. and started repeating the red and yellow colors. Stay in the same location for about 7 more mins.

than dissapeared. Doubt this is any help but just thought it may be worth the time typing it. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information.

Black triangle spotted in Pikes Peak region and slowly fades from sight. There were no clouds in the sky on this particular evening.I happened to look up as we left a family birthday gathering and spotted the triangle heading s/sw along the Pikes Peak front range.

It appeared to be at an elevation of about 1000-1500 ft above the ground.The object was approximately the size of a football field (250-300 ft.)in length and about 100 feet or so wide.

The object was moving very slowly. As I watched the object slowly turned and headed in a westerly direction (towards Pike Peak)As the object changed directions it seemed to simply fade from existence and disappeared.One of the most striking characteristics of this object was its ability to blend in with the night sky.

It seemed as if you could look through the object and see the stars and sky but you could still see the outline and fact that this was a solid object.Very impressive.
