Full Report Text:
red flashing light crossing clear night sky west to east horizon to horizon at a speed 5 to 10 times faster than any jet i ever saw. I saw a red round flashing light similar to a taillight on an old car. the object traveled completely across the clear sky from horizon to horizon, i believe east to west in about 30 to 45 seconds.
there was no sound, but i knew a jet could not cover that amount of space in less than a few minutes. i told a friend in denver colorado and she told me some people called a radio station to report same incident. ((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that date of incident is approximate.
