SIGHTING: VAIL, COLORADO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I am a MUFOM investigator living in Vail and was a my job as a security officer for the Vail Valley Medical Center. I was in a stairwell at the west end of the hospital and there is a window that faces north on the landing between the second and third floors. I was watching the sky for a few minutes as there had been a number of UFO reports in the area when I noticed this white cigar shaped object moving from west to east at about 30 degrees of elevation. UFO was about three quarters of an inch long at arms length and I could not see any wings or tail assembly on the craft. AS it went to the east it entered a small cloud and I felt I should have seen it come out the other side but did not. I did notice an aircraft with a single contrail further to the north and above and behind the UFO that may have been a jet fighter. I guess I had some difficulty realizing what I saw but I did see a similar cigar shaped craft on March 19th, 2004 when I was out in the parking lot at the hospital that traveled the same course. It was during a time when there was a lot of sighting reports out here and I had a sighting the previous day which I reported to MUFON. In both cases the cigar shaped craft reminded me of video shot in Salida in 1995 that was recently shown on one of the UFO Hunters shows."
