The report, as filed
A boomerang-like shape slowly flew above us in a straight line. It had sort of gray dots, I assume maybe lights along the craft. They were slightly scattered. From where we were, it looked about three times the size of a plane, in a boomerang shape. We had sighted several planes prior to this, none of which going this direction or of that size. I hadn't seen anything quite like it before. It was silent, though there was wind so that could've blocked any possible noise.It seemed to blend in with the sky as well and it was pretty dark out, but we could still make out the boomerang-like shape. I could see a soft glow around the object. I apologise for not being able to put in the time above. But it was around 7:35 PM when we spotted it.

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.

The saucer has six lights going in a line. 3 were green and 3 were red. There was a small break in the middle where it was dark but they were all spaced out. The object was completely still for 10 seconds. When I looked away to grab my phone I looked back and It was nowhere to be seen.

I noticed a lone brightly blinking star of an unusual/changing shape in the night sky, and got my binoculars. The "star" was pulsing sharp bright flashes of red, blue, and green, and multiple colors could be seen at the same time. My roommate witnessed a portion of this phenomenon also. After about 30 minutes it began flashing mostly red. I had put my phone down and turned my back for about 10 seconds to get the phone to take one more video, and when I looked again it was gone.

I was driving down US-287 in Lafayette near the Baseline intersection and something shiny caught my eye in the sky. I continued trying to look at it but was difficult since I was driving so I pulled over to get a better look and take the video. I saw a pill-shaped cylindrical craft that was silver and shining in the sun. The ends were dark, middle silver, and there was a small box or something hanging off but it's hard to point out what it is. It was moving much like a mylar balloon would, it was rotating in the sky, first doing a vertical flip and then precisely changing to a horizontal flip position and back and forth. I was almost positive it was a mylar balloon until I saw it's abrupt motion in between flips, something moves it, it does not follow the wind and is much to repetitive to be the wind picking something up, it's more methodical than that. I have never been so freaked out in my life. I called my family in tears just saying "this is not pos! sible". I called the aviation center and the FAA couldn't tell me much, I'm hoping you can. It was probably around 400-500ft in the sky when I spotted it and would go up and down roughly 1000-2000 ft or so. You can see a plane fly over in the beginning of the video and it does a good job of being able to tell how far out the craft was. It was much lower than a plane but much higher than a drone. The video does such a better job at explaining it. I really can't believe I caught the video I did, I sent it to the FAA like I said, and they said they had several people look at it and they were unable to determine what it was. Any help would be so appreciated. I feel like I just discovered something and no one cares!

String of lights, each following each other in formation of a line. Slowly traveled across sky from south to north horizon. Some lights traveled closer to one light then back to a well spaced distance from the other light. Each was about half the light of Venus. They only were white light in color. No flashing lights like air planes. Seemed to hover and float. No sound. Took about five minutes to travel from one horizon to the other. I was the only one that witnessed this although I'm sure anyone in my city probably saw it too. I am a retired computer network engineer. I witnessed this in front of my residence.

Its trajectory was east to west with the weather coming from southwest. It had a spin and a wobble, but yet clear speed and direction. In a about a minutes time, it had gone from the eastern horizon over Broomfield and beyond sight over the Boulder horizon to the west. Was strange enough to look up if anything was reported on the news, and came across this sight. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD
