Witness Testimony

"I was standing at the back door talking to my daughter on the phone when i saw about 7 to 9 bright red fireball looking lights in the sky. at first i thought maybe its military helicopters going to the rifle, colorado airport but there was no sound & they were flying too close together. a couple of the red light seemed to be to the left but, most were in a straight line traveling to the west over the mountains. i woke my husband up to come see & he caught sight of them towards the end before they went over the mountain tops & he thought they were strange as well."
