National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 4/16/2011 00:00 (Entered as : 04-16-2011 0:00) Reported: 4/15/2011 11:46:11 PM 23:46 Posted: 5/2/2011 Location: Boulder, CO Shape: Light Duration: 15 minutes
3 lights moved past a streak that was left by an airplane but the lights were very very far away. I had just watched the UFO disclosure video and thought it would be interesting to see if I could find anything, but I definitely did NOT expect to see anything at all. I was on the Colorado University Campus and lay down on a bench while on the phone with my friend and was just looking up at the sky when an airplane flew by and left a streak in the sky. I landed my eye on that streak so I would have a point of reference and saw these 2 lights that were definitely above the airplane streak move. They both moved in a semi straight line, past the streak and then stopped. I then spotted a third one moving toward the airplane streak, but it did not pass it. Those 3 lights lined up in a straight line. After spotting those, I tried to look for others, and thought I saw things moving, but the streak had faded, so I didn't know if my eyes were playing tricks on me. But I know that I saw those 3 lights move, and they were too far away to be a plane. After a while, the lights very quickly moved upward and disappeared to my sight. I'm amazed that I was able to see something just by trying to look for it. Incredible. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD))
