Egg over Leadville, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Silent, no lights, glowing gray, 2in diameter poles coming out sides about 6ft long. About 10 poles total. It was 175ft away 25ft off the ground going 25mph. During a snow storm. Egg was 8ft tall, and was open on the front, with a big gear looking thing on front. The gray glow came off the egg 2ft. Very stealthy and looked almost transparent. It was playing around over town then came up E 4th street in Leadville and headed east.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #135455). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
Ask for the records
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.

When I returned home and downloaded the photos to the computer, I saw a green circle shaped orb that changed locations in several shots, including being beside my car. UFO Two: During the same drive, I took several photos from the moon roof. In the last shot, over Leadville, I saw a black shape in the photo and when I blew it up it appeared to be a disk shaped UFO.

A bright orange/amber orb appeared from the southwest, traveling towards the northeast. Was traveling faster than an airplane (we saw several planes passing overhead), but not as fast as a meteor. A distinct vapor trail was visible behind the craft, as reflected by the moonlight. I would estimate the altitude to be between 15,000 to 18,000 ft above sea level. As an airline pilot, it was something unique that I was unable to explain. The orb disappeared behind Mt. Massive. Suspected to have been a re-entry of a portion of the Russian Cosmos 2495. Our gratitude to Mr. Ted Molczan for his proper identification of the object. PD
