Other over Colorado Springs, CO

The report, as filed

10-23-2015 Colorado Springs, Colorado, (Security area) UFO sighting. Just after 4:00pm Just saw a UFO from my front yard in Colorado Springs, Colorado, as I was facing towards the South/South-East. The flying objects were located almost straight up, thousands of feet up. (25? More? By the time the encounter was over I had observed 4 different flying objects with the 1st morphing through three very different shapes during the encounter. (Cigar, circle, then bell- Final shape when it disappeared between flickers) When I noticed the first object, it caught my eye by being so white and shiny there amongst the blue backdrop of the sky with a only few high altitude clouds not far off from the fast steady moving cigar shaped craft. It was the shape of a plane fuselage without wings and moving at high speeds across the sky with no vapor trail. I could discern no details at this moment save the shape (cigar) and a flickering color. I watched if for a minute, it was way up there past the highest clouds, small to the naked eye. A single whitish craft with slight silvery sheen around an object that’s mostly white looking although there is setting sun colored (pinky orange) flashes towards the bottom side facing the sun. (The setting sun I believe is what gave it the appearance of flickering or flashing on that side no matter what direction the craft was traveling. It may be reflection of the setting sun upon areas of the craft as the craft spins) (It could almost be mistaken for a plane if it were holding a steady altitude and going a normal aircraft speed which at first it was, as if mimicking a normal aircraft in speed and altitude) So in all the cigar shaped object seemed to be flickering a weird metallic white hue about most of the craft with pink/orange flashes radiating from the bottom-front sun facing side as it moved or darted about what seems like a long ways away almost straight above my house. This thing started moving like no aircraft known to civilian science as the motions defied my minds visual knowledge of physics in action. Everything in me screamed this motion was unnatural for machines of man. Every cell in the core of my being knew that what I saw was not possible within my now shattered understanding of the laws of motion. This movement and motion has only been hinted at in sci-fi movies and I must say that the movements of these objects were very different than even ‘that’. How could something survive the forces, I could only guess, were in playing upon those craft and what about the effects upon any posible biological entity. This motion from the flickering shimmering glittery pink-tinted spheres were doing some short-range fast acceleration/deceleration maneuvers, zipping and pausing and darting around almost like the motion was governed by something my mind has no concept for comparison. Their motion was different than anything I even seen in the movies, which is what gave me such a sick odd feeling in the pit of my soul. (I have never experienced a sensation like that, which I felt while watching these objects. Knowing I was not alone in what I saw made me feel more ‘real’ than I ever have.) The UFO started out as one cigar shaped object flying in a straight line at very high velocity before coming to a fast stop and changing directions. For a couple minutes it darted about instead of staying upon the course I saw it upon originally. The object moved fluidly with fast stops and starts almost like a darting hummingbird with very little curving to its flight path as you would expect from any plane or aircraft known to the US and any other nations of the world. Human craft would need to bank and arc around in a circle to change directions. This was ‘No’ plane. I have worked on many aircraft and ‘nothing’ that is not mentioned in science fiction comes close to this behavior. These craft moved about like predatory birds dogfighting at speeds and direction changes that defy imagination. Just think of the unbelievable g-force conditions exerted. I went to the front door to call for others to come see the UFO’s. When the two other witnesses showed up I pointed up to it and noticed that it was now circular shaped and fading in and out of view while hovering and appearing to dart around in a tight area. I realized the craft I relocated, ‘This craft’ was no longer cigar shaped, but circular in appearance all darting and flickering about close to the same area I last saw the original cigar shaped craft.( Did it change or was it a different craft. When I opened the house door to get someone else to see the weird objects, I lost site of the original object). It seemed to be winking in and out and hoping from being in one place to being in another close by. My mind had a hard time believing that metal could be made to move like that. These were no known manmade objects and these flying objects were real and right there in front of us all. Then, as I am pointing at it and the others are saying how weird it was moving and with everyone looking after having located the UFO, within moments, 3 more small whitish flickering UFO objects also circular and the same size as the first, appeared out of nowhere almost on top of the first. To me, at first, the first craft I saw seemed to be winking in and out, but then I started seeing two and three winking at the same time until ‘4’ circular/sphere shaped flying objects seemed to appear into existence. (Listen to what I am SAYING. ‘They’, three new UFO’s, just appeared, right in front of our eyes. When I say appeared, I mean that the one object was there alone. ((At least there was nothing else of interest within my visual spectrum although the jet had taken off climbing in a lazy mechanical manner flying a southerly direction with these UFO craft almost directly overhead)) It was just there alone one second and then the next second, three others start showing up, flickering in and out of visual sight. There was no interception from the ground. I absolutely can tell you there was no craft on approach from earth. (One plane did take off from the base heading southeasterly direction with nothing in common as to shape or mannerisms. When I would glance at the plane I couldn’t help but keep thinking that, ‘THAT’ was how I was taught metal was supposed to act while in flight) Now there are 4 moving around the first with 2 hovering a lot within the first ones flight path while the 3rd seemed to be chasing the first. The original would zip one direction and the 2 would move as if to block and the first one would get close and stop very abruptly, a few times they got so close they were hard to make out as 2 separate objects. The 3 new arrivals appeared to be the same size as the first. The only explanation I can think of is that they came from out of the atmosphere at unbelievable speeds from way higher up than the original UFO. This seems a lame view of what happened, as we were watching the first one, the others just showed up blinking in and out of existence before solidifying for the rest of the encounter until they vanished for good. CLOAKING? When I say they just appeared I mean they (the 3 new comers) weren’t smaller looking than the 1st craft and on an intercept course until they got close enough to see them as being the same shape and size. ‘No’, these things just appeared from out of ‘nothing’. There was one, and then there were 4 with 3 flickering in and out of existence for a few seconds longer than the first before they stabilized and remained in sight. These newest three craft just showed up like they were winking in and out existence or our visual spectrum for a few seconds (like flickering fast) and then they were all within our full view. Then the block and chase maneuver started from the three newcomers. I look at the plane that took off and marveled at how the motions of the plane and the motions of the UFO’s were so very in contrast with each other. Then I realized how unique m
