The report, as filed
Drone Question. My fiancé and I have seen 4 UFOs over Centennial, Colorado tonight. The singleand steady light emitted is no bigger nor brighter than a dimly lit star in the sky. And there was no sound. They also seemed higher up than an airplane. No contrails either. What could they be? I tried to film them with my iPhone but they’re too dim and far away to capture. Not meteors either, since those fizzle out quickly and appear much brighter and tend to move much faster and make some noise like a flare. The first one I spotted I just thought I was lucky and spotted a satellite. The second and third were following each other and all 3 moving from the West to the East. The fourth was going SE to NW, last seen at 2244 hours.
Held as-reported from National UFO Reporting Center (record NUFORC #157219). 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.

I saw a orange object moving across the sky approximately 500-1000 ft high out of my kitchen window. Looked odd so I walked out on back porch and called my son out to verify what I was watching was not anything normal. We watched it move about the speed of a helicopter then start traveling east and upwards until its light either went out or got far away really fast.

Very large black triangle with faint lights, noiseless, flying fairly low to the ground, heading south. Observed while driving to work near Centennial airport. Usually when aircraft are flying that low approaching the runway you can hear them very clearly - this craft made no noise at all.

Formation of five reflective horizontal diamonds hovering in the shape of a diamond NE of E-470. They hovered in this formation for about 30 seconds, shimmered then disappeared.

We were sitting in our hot tub on the evening of 1/19/2020. It was just past 9:00 PM MST (we know this because we had just finished watching TV) Our tub is on the north side of the house and we have an unobstructed view directly overhead and to the east. The sky was completely clear with no moon or clouds. My wife suddenly exclaimed "What is that!" and pointed E-N/E. She continued to point at it and said: "It went behind the trees." I didn't see it, but she described it as "v" formation of light objects. We continued discussing the event postulating what it might be. Then, 15 minutes later (I checked my watch afterward to verify), I saw something directly overhead and pointed it out to her. She remarked that it was the exact same thing she saw earlier. We watched it fly rapidly from overhead to the E-N/E where it vanished behind the trees. What I was a formation of 25-30 light gray objects in a nearly perfect, but 'flattened', 'v' shape. They were not illuminated but were distinct in the night sky. Each object looked roughly square in shape and they were spaced very closely together with even distance. The formation was completely silent as it went overhead. The formation passed overhead and over the horizon in approximately 5 seconds. The width in the sky was approximately the same as my hand extended at full reach. (I would be happy to submit daylight photos of the location if it would be helpful) I ran inside to get my camera and we spent the next 20 minutes waiting for another pass but never saw anything else. During that period we observed several standard airplanes flying their usual routes. An airplane (at altitude) was the same size or smaller than each of the objects in the formation and traveled much slower. We could clearly hear the airplane's engines.

I was driving in my car and looked out my window to see what looked like four very large bright stars, in a perfect square. There were located in proximity to/above Buckley Airforce Base, which was north of my location. As I watched the lights, they shifted from a square to a diamond formation. In the blink of an eye, two more similar objects appeared next to them, as they gravitated towards each other and made some what if a zig zag pattern. A seventh light/flying object appeared next to them, out of nowhere. They all shifted to create a horizontal line. At this time, I turned the corner in my neighborhood and lost sight for about 14 seconds as I drove down my street. I pulled into my driveway, jumped out of my car, and ran straight to my back yard in time to see a single bright light (a little to the east of where I originally saw the cluster of lights) shoot straight upwards into the sky, almost like a reverse shooting star. The sky was quiet after that! , I saw nothing else. The lights disappeared as quickly as they appeared. They moved fast, were completely soundless, no color or blinking lights.

POSSIBLE UFO SIGHTING 1/25/18 I may have seen a UFO tonight. It seemed to be hovering in the SE skies of Denver, CO, from my vantage point. I watched it for about 1 hr 15 minutes. From my vantage point, it appeared to be directly over the Centennial, CO, airport approx 2 miles east of my home. Since it was hovering, I thought of two things: a helicopter or a UFO. It was dark, so I couldn’t determine its shape. Time was about 7:15pm MST. This object was making only slight movements and they were erratic. Once in a while it made larger movements and faster but certainly not ”jet” speeds. The main point was the erratic movements and the right and left turns it was able to make and that made me suspicious. It could back up as well. That’s it! Nothing else to say….
