According to the National UFO Reporting Center in the United States, this month, a huge UFO was spotted in the night sky over Colorado. More than a dozen employees at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre witnessed this mysterious circular object.
Around 1 am on June 5th, shortly after country music star Ian Munsick finished his performance at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre, workers were cleaning up when they noticed a dark metallic disc appear to the north of the amphitheater.
“Our colleague suddenly said to us, ‘Hey, what’s that over there? It looks like a spaceship,'” the anonymous whistleblower wrote in the report. “We all turned to look in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, there was a UFO hovering about half to one mile north of Red Rocks.”
“All of us saw it. We kept asking each other, ‘Did you see that too?’ Everyone said, ‘Yes,’ in unison.”
Witnesses claimed that the unidentified flying object hovered over the treetops near the amphitheater for about 30 seconds before “disappearing into thin air.”
The post described the UFO as disc-shaped with three layers of windows, resembling a three-story office building. It spanned several hundred feet and was brightly lit.
What was even more eerie was that the UFO made no sound.
“Even crazier, when we all started noticing it and stopped our work to focus on it, the craft tilted at an angle and slowly began moving east,” a witness said. “Then, it gradually disappeared until it was out of sight. It didn’t fly off into the distance. It just vanished into thin air, and we all watched it disappear.”
All 12 witnesses firmly denied that they saw a satellite or drone, stating they were “absolutely sure” of what they saw.
According to data from the National UFO Reporting Center, Colorado has reported a total of 3,320 UFO sighting events this year, ranking 12th among the states with the most reports. In 2023, the state’s population was ranked 21st in the United States.
California reported the highest number of UFO events during the same period, reaching up to 16,394 sightings.
What is the most common type of UFO report? Peter Davenport, who has been the director of the non-profit organization National UFO Reporting Center since 1994, stated that the most common description is simply an unidentifiable light in the sky.
“We don’t get too excited about reports of this nature,” Davenport told USA Today in October of last year. “Because the sky is filled with many lights – stars and planets, and of course, satellites.”
As a commercial pilot, Davenport expressed that he is most interested in reports submitted by airline pilots.
“When they see something they can’t identify or explain, that is good accurate information source.”
The descriptions of these objects in the center’s data range from common shapes (circular, oval, triangular, and rhomboid) to phenomena (lights, orbs, flashes, disks, or fireballs).
In a report released by NASA’s UFO group on September 14 of last year, the most common Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), or UFOs, were reported to be spherical or ball-shaped.
In the 36-page report, the group stated that they found no evidence that UFOs or UAPs originated from extraterrestrial beings.
The group mentioned that some UAPs are completely unexplainable, but NASA is strengthening their role in scientifically investigating these sighting events, even appointing a new UAP research director, whose identity has been kept confidential.
During a Congressional hearing in July of last year, three former military members shared their knowledge of reported UFO events and discussed the potential security threats posed by these phenomena.
One of them was Navy Commander David Fravor, a Navy pilot. During a flight in 2004, he encountered the now widely known “tic-tac” shaped object near the Southern California coast and captured it on camera. In his testimony, he described the oval-shaped object as “completely white, smooth, and windowless,” displaying unprecedented flight capabilities.
