As reported

Flash over Colorado City, CO

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

Driving home from pueblo I saw what appeared to be 3 rockets coming over the mountain and three more coming up on the side slightly behind them and then they vanished. They looked like large fire work rockets gold in color. I asked others if they saw on facebook and they also said they saw this. One person described it before I even described. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #138218). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

Colorado City, CO

Leaving Colorado Springs heading south I observed an orange light fade in and then out, clearly above the mountains on the horizon but very far away. A green light followed it, just to its left in the sky. I thought nothing of it until I got home to Colorado City, where I and my partner observed the same color orange light fade in and out two times, not moving position in the sky. There was an aircraft somewhat low nearby which seemed to be making wade circles. I found one tweet from a trucker who seemed to have seen multiple of these lights from I-25 a week before we did.

Seemed linear in shape, huge spot lights going down side, lights would appear then go off and re-appear in different area. Very large craft, and no noise comming from if. It flew right over my house then hovered in the valley north of my house. It was almost stealth in motion. There was only one craft. It was a full moon out and you could see the whole valley light in daytime, but could not actually see the craft, I could only speculate it was linear because of way lights were going down side of it! I live in the country and big open space in backyard, we were in hot tub when my girlfriend saw it over neighbors house! The light were huge Amber color! There were posts all over community FB of what people saw, and also videos posted on FB. My girlfriend filmed it for 6 min on smartphone, people reported seeing same lights in Pueblo West, 25 miles north from me!
