Changing over Castle Rock, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
It started out as 3 bright dots lined up in the sky (which I assumed were stars), but then I noticed they were moving fast, then they separated into more than 20 dots in a line across the sky (almost like a flying train.) Then the lights came back together into 3 before they were too far for us to see them.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #146395). 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.

While looking in the night sky on NVGs, facing southeast at about a 45-60 degree azimuth, observed 5 lights with the same brightness as background stars. They were all fairly close together and traveled slowly in separate directions. No turning or erratic behavior. Varying speeds.

As I was observing what appeared to be 3 red flares dissapating in the distant night sky, a blur caught my attention. It appeared to be, at first, a small flock of birds lit by the city glow. It was too perfectly spherical to be anything flying naturally. As it silently crossed the sky above, I ran into the yard to get a better view. It reminded me of the old Windows 98 screensaver, the one with the rolling ball that distorted the desktop underneath. It was as though the flying sphere was distorting the hazy clouds behind it. I can't explain it in a way that makes sense because what I was seeing still doesn't make sense to me. It silently blurred across the entire sky in under ten seconds and disappeared just as quickly as it appeared. Whether or not the supposed flares have anything to do with all this is not clear.

Looking out window of house, around 6:30 ish last night, I saw what appeared to be 3 large round or sphere (bigger than an average marble from my point of view) as I was looking out) The lights were bright whitish-yellow (no flashes of red- not airplane) coming from the North (each one came from same direction but a little different path- went right over our neighborhood clearly heading east) They were separate at first but blended together /or came together as heading East. The first one change direction down to the south then abruptly halted/looked like it was floating, and headed east. The second two also came about the same path. No sounds. Altitude as about 500-700 ft in the night sky when I first saw the 1st one, as it passed over our area. There was absolutely no sound, and I was close enough to hear if it were a helicopter. Again absolutely no flashing red lights- if anything when they passed over the light turned form yellow to green and all 3 o! f them moved silently almost directly over our backyard! Later last night about 11:35 pm, many of us in our neighborhoods here in Castle Rock heard a very large "BOOM".

Driving home from soccer practice, my daughter and I witnessed 4 unidentified very large lights which appeared, at first in a pyramid formation with only 3 balls of light. After observing for about 15 seconds, a 4th ball of light appeared and formed a crescent shape. I recorded two videos from my iPhone. We lost sight as we rounded a corner obstructed my a hill.

Diamond shaped star like craft with red and green lights made erratic movements such as up and down as well as left and right in the sky very quickly. Using stars in the sky we could tell it was moving very far northwest and then stopped in place and dimmed its lights and we then decided to move away from it.

I was with my step-daughter driving up 5th Street in Castle Rock, near where Founders Parkway intersects, when I noticed seven orb-shaped objects very high in the sky. They were too high to be kites, and definitely were not birds, since when they moved the sunlight reflected off of them. The objects appeared to be moving in concert, flowing back and forth very quickly. They were also too close together to be domestic aircraft. I took my eyes off of them after about five minutes of watching, and could not find them in the sky again. Conditions were sunny skies, temperature of 85 degrees, and clear.
