Chevron over Aurora, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
While out in our hot tub, my wife and I were stargazing, when we saw a Chevron-shaped craft with dim lights on the bottom of the wings 4 on each side and 2 at the front of Chevron. It was moving from west to east and was completely silent and was visible for 5-7 seconds and then disappeared into the night. I reported the same sighting on this website in early November of 2015 also. The craft was for real! We scanned the sky for the next 15 minutes and also saw another Chevron shaped object that was white heading south to north and this one did not have any lights on the bottom of the wings.

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.

I was leaving Aurora, Colorado, heading south on E470 towards I-25. It was around 12:20 am on September 16th, 2023, that I noticed something flying in the sky maybe less than 1000ft in the air. I’ve worked in both military and private aviation and noticed immediately how strange the lights were for the craft. It had very bright white lights that were doing a wave-strobe effect to it, looked like the white lights were rotating around the craft while strobing. It also had two bright reddish/orange lights on the top and bottom that were pulsating with intensity. When I first noticed it, it seemed to be passing my field of view quickly as I was driving, but then it stopped moving and stayed still. It then started moving slowly towards Buckley Air Force Base on the other side of E470. I tried to watch it longer, but I was also driving on the highway and nearly got into a crash because it was hard to not look at this thing. As I moved closer to I-25, it went closer to Buckley and then it left my field of vision. Because of the time of night and highway lights it was difficult to discern any real shape to it, but it did have a pale blue glow at the bottom of it.

We (a young married couple) saw two motionless bright lights in the sky on our way home from a friend’s house. Even though the lights didn’t move like a plane, they were not stars. They were much too bright to be stars. After a while one turned to the east and started flying in that direction. After it had turned, we could see that it had 1 red and 2 green lights on either side. In the meantime the other light had begun to ascend and descend in elevation in an up and down motion. Eventually the second light also suddenly veered off to the east and revealed the same light pattern as the first. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

We were sitting on our balcony, saw an object at a slightly lower altitude inspecting the flight path last night where lt least 4 planes were approaching DIA. It was moving at what we both felt was a supersonic speed, a green light on its front, with forward propulsion, moving from SW to NW in a matter of possibly 2 seconds. IT MOVED SO FAST, yet it was silence. No sonicbomb, not exhaust, just extremely straight plane of motion. I saw it, as well as my husband.

As I was walking something caught my eye as I looked up and saw a airliner and above that I saw 4 images that were moving from the north to the southeast. It appeared the object were traveling very fast. I was able to capture a picture of them before I lost sight of them. The image is on the lower left. I zoomed in and attached a better look at the 4 objects.

While driving home I saw a line of 4-5 lights in the sky that appeared to be getting closer to me. As I was stopped at a red light, they appeared to be very close to the surface of the Earth. It felt like it was right in front of me, over my head. Eventually, I could see that it was a rectangular shaped craft of some sort. The lights were mostly white, I think. It looked like it was made of metal (silver in color) Clear windows lit up the inside. Almost like a hallway of offices. I think it had an additional section on the left side. Almost like the caboose of a train. Separate but, still attached by a smaller "hallway". I don't think that section was as lit up. The light turned green and I had cars behind me so, I started driving. I drive a large cargo van, so there are no windows to look out to see what is behind me. I regret not pulling over to see what happened after that.
