Light over Wheat Ridge, CO
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Multiple craft evenly spaced perfectly in line formation. Appeared to be coming from a portal in the west. One right after another towards the east. Way to high to identified shape or form but very bright.as they followed on another, they would just fade and dissipate off to the east. We must have seen approximately 40 or more craft following in a perfect line formation.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #153876). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.

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.

At 10:45pm looking directly west down 49th avenue I saw a very bright light about the size of a golf ball. It looked to be about 40 degrees high and maybe a few miles away. It was so bright it had an aura of light around the outer rim. it shined in the center like crystal or glitter in spots the bottom was rounded and had 5 very small diamond shapped lights around the bottom. I turned to get my mail from the mail box and when I turned around there was the very large white light in the west and also a very large craft in the sky at approximately 49th avenue and kipling st., wheat ridgo, co. The base was a half circle with a verticle bar from the center (almost like an anchor) and looked to be about 50 to 60 feet tall and tilted 15 degrees to the north for the 1st minute and 30 degrees to the north afterward. On the verticle stem it had horizontal white lights approx 10 feet across. There were approx 15 rows of white lights from top to the base. The base was a half circle with the top 2/3 a red light and the bottom 1/3 rounded edge navy blue light. The rows of white lights would flash on all at once, the go off. Then the white lights, red and blue would all light up at once. Then the lights would go off all together. This object went from approximately 49th and kipling north to approximately 68th and ward road in arvada, colorado. I was not able to see it after that. When I looked back for the large white light in the west, it was gone. No sound heard

Walking south easterly along a gravel path in Crown Hill Park. 90+ degrees, not a lot of people in the park and none in that area at the time. Orb approached flying north, probably about 5 degrees out of dead on toward me, going slightly toward my left. I stopped walking to watch it. It was moving much faster than planes or helicopters normally seen in the area. While it was moving too fast to be at high altitude, it was absolutely silent. Seemed like at most 1000 feet up. Plainly visible as a reflective orb. Kept waiting for more details to emerge as it neared me. Then it turned in an arc toward the west, then southwest. It came pretty close, I am sure it was over the park, but it never made a sound and never changed it's shape. No details ever emerged to indicate it was anything other than an orb. Looked metallic due to the reflectivity. As it was flying away I started walking again -- glanced toward the path and when I looked back the sky was clear, the orb was gone which I thought was jarring since it would have had to significantly alter its speed to be gone that quickly. About 40 minutes later a plane flew over that I thought might be around the same altitude. The plane was a twin engine fixed wing, very loud of course and very clearly a plane and very much slower than the orb. If the plane and the earlier orb were about the same height, the the diameter of the orb would be about the size of the plane's cockpit, maybe 10-12 feet.

Around one o'clock today I noticed a cylindrical object in the sky that was moving to slowly and far too high in the sky to be an airplane. At first I thought this object was "twinkling" because the surface seemed to be a mylar type of material and it was reflecting the sun but after I watched it for a moment it established a clear pattern of blinking on and off, a slow one. It slowly moved across the sky until it was directly above me and it stopped for about five minutes, directly where the sun would be at noon. I was on the phone with my friend so I hung up to take a video. After unsuccessfully trying to get a video, it was just too small, I called my downstairs neighbor and she came up to see it for herself. (While I was trying to get video it had started moving and then stopped again when my neighbor came out to see it. It had moved further south and a little bit east of the noonish sun before it stopped again.) She observed it and was just as clueless as I was as to what it was. We chatted for a bit and the next time I looked up it had moved on. This thing never stopped binking but the blinking did slow down. When it moved it stayed at a very slow pace, far too slow to be a plan. When it stopped, it stopped, it did not move at all from that spot. It was shiny, the color of a mylar balloon. I've seen weather ballons, this was not it. One more thing, my mom worked for NASA and DARPA, I am not easily fooled, this was strange.

I was jokingly flashing my flash light at a very bright star in the southwest sky at 6:35 pm. I was out looking for a rock to prop my apt building door. Approx 2 minutes after I flashed the star, I heard a loud jet noise above my head. (as loud as a jet taking off on the runway) I looked up and a round red light was above my head. I remember thinking I could fit through that hole and wondering if I was going to get beamed or a ray come out. I was scared. Out of the corner of my eye I saw several flashes of light going on and off to the south. Then the lights were gone and they reappeared approx 1-2 seconds later to the west. They were all red in color and flashed on and off one at at a time rapidly from north to south taking up the whole half of the sky to the south. The line of lights disappeared and reappeared 1-2 seconds later farther west. this repeated 10 times in total, until I could not see the lights flash across the sky. Also, not all of the 8-10 lights flashed on, some were only partially visible and the jet noise gradually decreased in loudness until I could not hear it at all toward the last 2 rows of flashing lights. The lights flashed to rapidly to count in a row and seemed to follow I-70 /CO 58 West to the mountains. I waited 2 seconds after the lights were gone and then saw a small white object in the west sky just above and to the right of where the lights disappeared. The small white object moved 45 degrees descending toward where I last saw the lights. I never saw a craft, a plane or a jet trail

There was a tiny ribbon of light, surrounded by 7 or 8 tiny dots of light.

On 01/13/20 at 1942hrs flying south bound through wheat ridge Colorado towards Lakewood, a silent craft that appeared as only a light was being escorted by a stealth helicopter that I Believe to be the size of a Blackhawk but not nearly as noisy. Helicopter was following this light matching speed. As southbound towards Lakewood. Helicopter only had red lights emitting from it a large red right and a few small blinking red ones.
