Sphere over Littleton, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on my deck in the rear of my house, when the sound of an airplane engine (prop) brought my attention to the south eastern sky around 0905 on the 15th of August, 2014. I saw bright white dot in the sky just south of the sun and just above it as well, I didn't pay much attention to it but when I looked back up about ten minutes later and it was still there, I thought it was a bit strange... Please keep in mind that the moon was also visible in the western sky. I went back in my house and watched TV for a bit, and then decided to go out on my front porch to see if the object was still there, and it was. It had moved to the west a bit but at about the same elevation as before, this was around 0930. I went out again around 1000, and it was still there, but it was now due south at about the same elevation. I checked again around 1010, and it was still present but a few degrees farther west. When I checked again around 1020 it was gone. It seemed to track as if it were stationary in space and the Earths rotation was causing the movement. I'm assuming this was some sort of satellite that was reflecting light from the sun or possibly indirectly from sunlight reflected from the moon. To my eye and through a 9X rifle scope it was about the size of a .22 caliber bullet held at arms length.

What would the paper say?
For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

I was on an exercise bike when I saw this object going south. That lasted about 3 minutes at a consistent altitude. Very slow speed for an aircraft. I lost sight when it went behind a tree. About 5 minutes later I saw it heading north now at about the same altitude and speed. I took a photo but it's blurred from trying to autofocus through the glass. Three photo is looking east, and the trees at bottom were about a mile from my position. The object was slightly further than that.

While doing a walk with my family up a hill from which you can see the Lockheed Martins campus, I notice the strange bright object that at first look to me as an airplane from a far. What struck me was the fact that no aircraft (commercial) can fly that low in that location and it wasn’t moving, it was still in place. I quickly tell my wife to see if she can see it and verify what I’m seeing, but as I tell her I notice it move a “step to the left” (as I’m looking at it from my perspective). We she couldn’t see it so we decided to continue moving forward up the hill to get a better view, when we get to the top it was gone. As we continue and I’m telling her I notice a sphere shape object (white dim/translucent white)near the lower peak of the mountain, to the left (my viewing perspective), I quickly tell her to look and used some black birds flying near as reference and at the moment that she looks that way, it quickly started disappearing, like it did starting from my left (viewing perspective) to the right gradually whilst becoming more translucent until it was gone. It was in a matter of seconds. It’s like it knew I told my wife, because it waited right until she look at that same spot (could be a coincidence right?!) that it disappeared.

We were heading west on C470 in Littleton, CO at 9:23 PM on 5/5/23 and getting off onto the ramp to Wadsworth when a super fast low flying object flew from the south to the north. It was on a straight line. It was a white light going extremely fast, almost missle-like. There was not a tail, just a really fast flying object. We watched it zip by for two seconds and then our view was obstructed by trees. After we passed the trees, we could not see it any more. It was in the air about skyline. The Foothills were in the background and it was hard to tell if the object was in front or behind because it was about that height. There was no sound at all.

My friend and I were in the parking lot of her apartment complex when I noticed a formation of three diamond shaped black objects that were dimly lit from the bottom slowly cross Wadsworth Blvd. They were moving at the exact same speed as each other but appeared to be separate. The formation was so low, maybe 20 feet off the ground. It was silent. Hard to see because it was so dimly lit and quiet. Only about 10 feet long. Once it crossed Wadsworth and got above the car dealership lot it just vanished.

I submitted a detailed report yesterday. Strangest thing yesterday is that ravens were squawking while I was videoing the object yesterday morning. I rarely see ravens around this downtown area. This morn I heard a huge commotion on my rooftop patio, only to go out and find two ravens there - and they were unafraid of me as I walked out and stood only 3 feet from them, and they just looked at me. One flew to the West edge of my patio, where I then, behind the raven, saw the SAME TIC TAC-looking object again this morning! I ran & grabbed my phone & immediately began to video, and even in the video you can see a raven flying in it - LOL! I don't know if the object cloaked/disappeared or what, or if maybe my trying to zoom in or focus with my iPhone 12 caused this - but again, it disappeared, then was so vague I couldn't see it again until it was almost out of my sight near the roof turret. Same activity: It basically just strolled over the western Denver metro area up from the South (AFA/NORAD/Cheyenne Mountain/AFA maneuvers areas) and all along the foothills toward the north where I lost sight of it. I forgot to wait and look for any post-sighting B52s or other aircraft but didn't notice any or hear any before returning inside to look at what I'd captured. Shorter video today but you can see it's the same thing, or one like it. How is it that I'm the only one seeing/reporting this that I know of, I wonder. The video is about the same length as yesterday, same thing - it goes invisible or fuzzy, whole scene goes fuzzy in my video, then clears up again near the end of my ability to see it. I heard no sound at all. Same height, maybe 200-300 feet high-ish? Maybe at a 15-25 degree angle from the ground from my perspective. Video is attached. Love to know what it is if it's 'ours'. Hoping to hear from you. Thanks!

I was sitting on my back patio watching a storm move in (facing North) and I saw this object cruising along just above the treetops about a mile to a mile and a half away. It maintained the same speed, and at times almost looked like it had a tail. It made no sound and had no lights of any kind. It looked close to a flat grey color, although it appeared to change color at times. I watched and filmed until it disappeared behind some trees.
