SIGHTING: GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I am a MUFON investigator (currently inactive)who lives in Vail CO, and on the night of September 2nd I was camping out at Heart Lake on the Flat Tops, Lat 39'46"15.15N, Long 107'19"8.20W, elevation 10,750 feet. This is a remote area that I like going to and make trips up there each summer. I also have had several UFO sightings in the past.On this night, as usual, I was watching the sky as it was a clear night and bright as the moon was in the first quarter. Looking towards the NNW I noticed a bright light below and to the right of the 'pointers' in the Big Dipper, about 15 degrees high in the sky. Over the years I have gotten to know most of the major stars and constellations, and knew immediately this was not a star.The light was stationary for about a minute then began to move very slowly to the west, much to slow for an aircraft or satellite. During this time a aircraft did go over at about 60 degrees moving much faster than the object I was observing. There were no flashing or blinking lights on the UFO, and after another minute of watching it as it moved I turned to grab my binoculars to get a closer look and when I turned back the light was gone. I scanned the sky in the area where I had last seen the object and saw nothing.From my own experience I have to conclude this was an unknown/unidentified craft, probably of ET origin."
