Light over Walsenburg, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on a camping trip near the base of the San Juan mountains just north of Walsemburg, CO. Around 12:30-1:00 am, there were 3 small lights, the same size of the stars off in the distance. At first only one was moving, slowly and towards the earth but directed north. I didn't notice the other two until it abruptly disappeared. That's when the second light started moving at the same speed but in a slightly different direction. Again it disappeared abruptly and that's when I noticed the third light do precisely the same as the other two-slowly move in a slightly different direction and abruptly disappear. These did not resemble a satellite as they moved from a similar point of origin, traveled only a short distance-separately-while the others were still-then all disappeared.

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 opened our front door to let our dogs outside. I knew that it was there immediately as we live out in the country. **It's considered country as we do not have any close neighbors. We are fortunate to see the sunrise everyday so clearly; and on sunny days, the sky is simply beautiful. I make it a point to look just as soon as I let the dogs out. I am reiterating this as much as I can as I want to be clear that this anomalie is present whenever it chooses to be; and, not on a daily basis. This has multiple lights and is round in shape. This is my second report about this object. This not the only strange happenings in our sky. Around the same time that this anomalie is present in the sky, a strange "cloud ring" was visible around the moon. However; this ring was not one dimensional- more like 3 dimensional as the walls of this ring were "thick" and seemed to narrow as if it were a craft. I am not saying this was a saucer or UFO- this is yet another strange happening that one was able to see but not able to discern. We have pictures of this odd event as well. *** I wanted to add that I put my mailing address down in my last report. Tonight, I am using the physical address as this is where the sightings occur. I am asking to exorcise privacy in that I am a domestic abuse survivor with MS and I need to remain safe. Thank you; Please know that this is not for anything other than my husband and I having respect for the truth.

I looked up at this beautiful dawn lit sky and here’s this craft hovering with multiple alternating lights. This is 1 of 2 sightings of this craft in different levels of height but hovering in the same sky. Stars were all but gone. This craft was brighter than any star and again all stars were gone. I have a video of the first sighting and you can see the multiple lights. My grandfather was a judge here for over 30yrs. He had top secret clearance and worked for the Department of Defense. I am saying this because We have seen more than simply a craft. I was walking the dogs and coming home and there it was. It stood before corregaded tin and this is how I was able to see it. It was in what I would refer to a cammo mode. I am not crazy I have never been. My grandfather Julian Medina saw these guys when they crashed. This is not the first time we’ve seen things either.

The mountain base that was always dark was now lit up like a small town the huge ship was the length of the whole trailer park just hovering there. It was quiet, the traffic was the only noise. I didn't notice the red objects shoting out of the bottom as I was recording but noticed that one red light & 2 red lights positioned behind me as I sat in my car watching the next thing I know I woke up the sun had come up my phone had died when got out of the car unloaded my things it was 5:30 A M.

2 adult individuals witness a distant object extremely high in the southern night sky over walsenburg Colorado. The object was illuminated but it was assumed that was the setting sun's rays were striking the object. The object was at times stationary but at times it's path of travel was also moving in all directions. As an example the object would move forward, backward,and in a curved path it. It's speed was variable and it's excelleration was uneven sometimes quite fast then stationery and it's path also would wobble at times. As a pilot of various aircraft I know of no such capability for the movements observed by any man made craft including drones at the altitude observed. Being that the object was at a extremely high altitude no discernable shape was observed. The objects movements were it's only distinguishing characteristics from the other observed objects being stars, planets and satellites. The night sky was perfectly clear and No obscurations w! ere present. A number of satellites moved in the object's area but their tracks were straight and constant in contrast to the object observed. The object appeared as a star.

Three small shapes, over Navajo estates area. Toward silver mountain, they were invisible except when the sun hit them, they glistened brilliant reflection. Looked at them with binoculars and they turned and moved within the air waves, they at one point made a “c” and wishing the middle of each c. A middle pistole like in a flower, was seen. It lasted about 4 minutes. Watched them stay close together if one got away from the other they would come together closer again. Watched until I could not see any further glistening of the sun on them. The inly time I could see was when the sun hit them and was bright white in color. Tried to get a video. But when the video came out no white glistening, they were black round dot areas

Then from green horn and Spanish peak in came two jets over the valley heading towards the Sangre de Cristos. Jets are common here, so are lightless black helicopters that shake my walls, but the light is something else’s entirely. I saw the light before but chalked it up to tired eyes, as did my boyfriend, but seeing to together was assurance of sanity we both welcomed. FYI, we are not drug users, don’t! drink and are rational thinkers with professional careers. We’re new homeowners in the area and moved here to watch the stars in peace-didn’t know then were buying under a military fly zone.
