Light over duncan, CO

The report, as filed

While photographing the milky way on top of the dunes in great sand dunes national park, starting at 1:20 am to approximately 2:00 am or later. Witnessed 6-10 luminous craft flying in very bizarre patterns north of the park. We did photograph the lights. I have 5 raw photos I have exported as jpeg for this report of the lights from a sony a7riv 61 mp camera with a 14mm focal length. The lights changed luminosity constantly, sometimes disappearing completely and reappearing extremely brightly. The flight patterns were very fluid but bizarre and erratic, akin to fireflies. When zoomed into the photos, the streaks of the craft of the 30 second exposure photos exhibits what can be described as a pulsation of light or maybe a twisting of the craft. The crafts stayed up too long to be drones and were too bright and inconsistent to be anything ordinary. Report alludes to he bright streaks to the left of the much more faint formation of Starlink satellites seen just abov the tops of the distant mountain top. Photos are 30-second exposures. To the eye, in real time, the "streaks" appeared to the witnesses to be "orbs."
