00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Good evening. My name is Boulder, Colorado.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
Yes, sir.

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,000
And I just saw something that I can't explain.

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Okay, let's try to hear about it.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Okay, I'll give you the story.

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:14,000
First of all, I'm a physicist with research in Boulder, Colorado.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Yes, sir.

8
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,000
And I'm taking a course at Colorado University in Astronomy.

9
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:26,000
I was out in my backyard, locating various sundry stars and so on.

10
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
And four objects came into the field of the binoculars.

11
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,000
They were flying in a sort of loose formation.

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
They were just blocks of light.

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
They were much larger than the largest star, but very dim.

14
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
There were no blinking lights or anything of that sort.

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
And they were going in a straight line over Boulder from northwest to southeast,

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:53,000
and they were going very, very fast.

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
I would guess that they went about 45 degrees in about two or three seconds.

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So I sat there in a state of shock for about five minutes because I'd never believed in anything before,

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
but this is something that I've never seen before and that I can't explain.

20
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,000
And I made a couple of calls.

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I was trying to locate some facility in the area that had radar to see if they had seen anything.

22
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
And I was directed to your number.

23
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Okay, now what time did you spot that?

24
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
10.30.

25
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Okay.

26
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Mountain, daylight, savings time.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
And which direction were you looking at this time?

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
I was looking toward the east.

29
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
To the east, and they were traveling in which direction?

30
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:43,000
They were traveling from approximately north, northwest to the south toward the southeast.

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Okay, now how long did you have those in sight?

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Two or three seconds.

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Any estimate of size? Can you compare them with anything?

34
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,000
I would say they were about...

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Well, let's see.

36
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
I'm trying to compare it.

37
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
They were much larger than the largest star of the pier.

38
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:15,000
I would say about a quarter the size of the moon are considerably less, somewhat less than that.

39
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000
They were larger than the largest stars right here.

40
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
And what was the color?

41
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
The color was just sort of a very dim.

42
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Very dim.

43
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,000
And your estimation were these things fairly close or quite far away?

44
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
There was no sound whatsoever.

45
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Okay.

46
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And no way of estimating distance whatsoever.

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
They were very far away, and it seemed not to really be tremendous.

48
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Okay. Were they leaving any kind of a trail at all?

49
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
No, nothing whatsoever.

50
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Did you watch them until they went out of sight?

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Yes, I did.

52
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Okay.

53
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Did they hold that straight line formation at all times?

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Yes, they did. They were just going in a straight line, and they held sort of a semi-formation.

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:09,000
They were two or closer together, and two others sort of strung out behind into one side.

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Okay. And once again, how long do you think you watch those?

57
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Not more than two or three seconds before they were out of sight.

58
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Nice.

59
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,000
How many witnesses did you see yourself?

60
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Just myself. I was sitting in the back yard with a benign character, and saw.

61
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Okay.

62
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
And where did you get our number?

63
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:39,000
First called ATC at Longmont, and they directed me to Buckley Field.

64
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Okay.

65
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Well, I decided to tell somebody because it was something that I've never seen before, and it's something that I can't explain.

66
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Okay. I might state that the straight line formation involving four, six, eight, or ten bright lights is quite common.

67
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
We get these reports quite often.

68
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Yeah, these were not bright. They were very dim.

69
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
They were not points of light. They were lobbed of light.

70
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Oh, I see. Okay.

71
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Would you say that these were attached to an object? Or was it that being possible to tell?

72
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:29,000
Well, I tried to visualize these as being lights on an airplane flying over.

73
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And there was no way that I could do it.

74
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Right, okay.

75
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:42,000
And they held, during all the time that I watched, they held as the same, what is near as I could tell, exactly the same relational, positional relationship.

76
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Yes.

77
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:52,000
But as far as all being attached to a single object, it didn't appear to be, but there was no way that I could really tell.

78
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
And there was no sound whatsoever.

79
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Okay.

80
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Well, once again, thank you very much. And if we come up with any new information on it, we will let you know.

81
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Great. Thank you very much. Good night.
