 LATEST San Luis Valley SIGHTINGS:                                                  

June 24 & 25, 2009, 2:00 AM to 2:30 AM Baca Grande Chalet II,
[The witness emailed me with his account and included his phone number. I called his cell immediately upon reading his report. I spoke with at length on the phone and he related a rather bizarre series of events he and his wife have experienced during their last three visits to their vacation home in the Baca Grande Subdivision near Crestone, Colorado. First his email:]

“I have had 2 strange ‘visitations’ in the past 2 nights in a cabin I recently built in the Baca near Crestone, CO. Not sure what to think… I am 54 years old and never had anything like this happen to me before. The cabin was completed in 2004 and up until this point I have been there and slept there dozens of times without incident. My wife witnessed these ‘visitations’ and is reluctant to return to the cabin. Nobody in Crestone that I have talked to seemed to be able to help or suggest anything other than to pass on another name and number and say "too bad Chris isn't still here.” So, I finally asked who you were and how I could contact you...”

[My comments: The witness and his wife were camped in their living room for the night, the wife was on the couch and he was reclined in an easy chair. They haven’t furnished their bedroom yet so they sleep downstairs. He then recounted being awakened and interacting with a repeating sequence of events that began with his smoke alarms going off. For no reason first the upstairs alarm would beep three times, then the downstairs living room detector would answer with three beeps. They are both connected and should operate together. Later he realized that this was some sort of announcement because then, the two of them witnessed what he described as a “two-foot high column of light” that appeared to enter through the wall, near the livings room’s 14 foot-tall cathedral ceiling. It traveled slowly straight across the room and exited high out the other wall. Reclining back in his easy chair, he was looking right at the light and alerted his wife who had been asleep in the living room with him. At first he thought it might have been a passing car’s headlights, but quickly ruled this out because the light never varied. Then some time later, the same thing happened for a second time and he was sure the light was anomalous. He was reclined in his leather easy chair when it felt like it levitated up off the floor. He was “paralyzed” was unable to move his head, or limbs or open his eyes. He guessed the chair was lifted “inches up to a foot” off the floor and he felt motion as if he was being carried. After the second fly-through he was agitated and began to conduct a yes/no dialog with the smoke detectors. He asked if they were ghosts” Silence. Then asked “spirits.” Silence. Then he asked if they were extraterrestrials and both alarms went off together. This happened after he taken both batteries out! He also professed to have been formally a non-believer in paranormal type events but “not anymore. “ He and his wife were up all night and ended up making coffee and talking about what had transpired. The possible electromagnetic manipulation of his hardwired smoke detector system that he perceived as "comunication" is highly unusual and raises all kinds of interesting questions. The following day, they agreed that if the same thing happened, there would be no way of explaining the events away. Wouldn’t you know, the second night went basically the same as the first night. The differences were, 1) he never felt paralyzed or lifted up in his chair, and 2) he had a .357 handy and began to get angry and demand whatever-it-was leave. This is a very intriguing scenario for he feels he was in a rudimentary dialog with the energy form, through the smoke detectors.]

“I am presently [last night June 26, 09] in Alamosa at a Motel for the night because my wife does not want to return to the cabin. I on the other hand want to know what this entity wants and figure a way to get it to leave us alone and leave the cabin. I am willing to butt heads with whatever it is to find a resolution to [these] event[s]. Through questioning this entity I have been able to get it to deny it is a spirit, or a ghost but have gotten a positive response when asked if it is extraterrestrial. There was even a suggestion from the [UFO] watchtower lady [Judy Messoline whom he visited today] that because I was paralyzed (unable to open eyes, move or talk) and carried or levitated off the ground, that I was abducted …but I have no memory of that and whatever was doing this put me down and released me when I mentally objected to it and demanded to be put down and released. 

“It also left the second night after I calmly and respectfully asked it to leave. It appears and leaves as a 2 foot tall column of light that crosses the cabin cathedral ceiling and disappears into the walls... And this is the crazy (insane) part...it is contacting us through the cabins two hardwired smoke detectors which have gone off at about 2:30 AM each night to announce its arrival and to respond to my questions and my anger/fear.

“When I do return to the cabin Sunday afternoon I may leave my wife at a friend’s house in the Baca and return to the cabin myself. Do you have any advice on how to handle this... it would be greatly appreciated.

[The witness also told me about a strange repeating series of events that occurred at the cabin last November 21 through 28th 2008. Twice a day (between 8 and 9 am and again in the evening at dusk) what appeared to be the same pinõn jay would arrive, circle the house in a clockwise motion— scratching at every window and door, everyday, twice a day. Unbelievably, the “same bird” appeared to return and circle the house twice a day (a month or so later) between December 31 to January 7, 2009. This was their last visit prior to this past week’s events. This case is still being investigated—Christopher O’Brien] 

April 7, 2009 between 10-10:30 PM Colorado College Annex, Crestone, CO, FB2"

"I am a student at Colorado College in Colorado Springs. As you probably abready know, Colorado College has a small collection of buildings on the Baca Grande Ranch in near Crestone, Colorado.  The college uses Baca as a retreat for classes.

"On April 7, 2009, a small group of people including myself were standing on the roof/patio of one of the Baca Buildings.  It was about 10 or 10:30 at night.  Half joking, I turned to my girlfriend and mentioned that Crestone was supposed to be a UFO hotspot.  At that time I was ignorant to Crestone's infamous and abnormal reputation.  Ironically, we looked out over the valley to the valley to the west and saw a school bus sized orange light that moved quickly, but sporadically from north to south.  The light pulsed faintly. After uttering noises of disbelief, the other members of the group looked up at the light and everyone agreed that it wasn't a plane or a satellite. It was too low, too large, and moving too sporadically to fit any reasonable explanation. Terrified, we all went downstairs and proceeded to discuss what we had just witnessed. 

"Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep that night.  I know you probably get hundreds of these emails a day, and I realize that the tardiness of this report diminishes its value.  I just wanted to submit it because that evening changed my life.  I went from being a staunch disbeliever in UFO's to a very convinced believer in a matter of about 10-15 seconds."

April 2, 2009 at about 5:51 p.m, Approximately Creede, CO south to Dulce, NM  MA2

From MUFON REPORT:

"My wife and I were flying on Continental airlines from New York To San
Diego. I have attached a photo taken 2 minutes before the sighting, I
pasted a sequence of drawings of how the UFO changed and it's approximate
size at each stage. The view was due north, we were south west of Pike's
Peak flying at about 35,000 ft. My wife also saw the UFO, I don't know if
anyone else saw the UFO."

[The actual location of the event, depending on the aircraft's speed and heading, may have been somewhere between Creede, CO, Wolf Creek Pass, CO & Dulce, NM—Christopher O'Brien]


"As soon as I noticed the UFO the plane banked right, away from the object.
We were not very close, about 1 to 3 miles by my estimate.
When I first saw the object it looked like a four legged octopus hanging in
the air, the legs were different sizes. As the object rotated toward us and
the rear pitched up it took on a triangular shape and looked very much like
a B2 stealth bomber, but it was straight across the back. The UFO then
rolled away from us and yawed with it's nose pointing north. At this point
it looked like the rear only was pointing toward our view. Up to this point
the object ran parallel to our plane. The changes in apparent size were not
related to a change in distance. After pointing north the UFO began to move
away from us, the rear view became thinner and as it moved away the length
of the rear of the craft thinned and became longer. I tried to take a
picture at this point, but the UFO was too small to register on the frame.
The second picture was taken 2.5 minutes after the one I attached the
drawings, so the whole sighting was less than 2 minutes.
I was surprised to see how bizarre the sighting was, I know much of the
shape changing was due to the craft's orientation, however, I never expected
its size to change the way it did.

October 28, 2008  At about 7:50 p.m, Great Sand Dunes, Alamosa County, AN1

Tues., San Luis Valley law enforcement agencies received a
report of strange lights, possibly a meteor, spotted traveling East to West in the
vicinity of Hwys. 150 and 160 in the area of the Great Sand Dunes National Park and
Preserve.

Colorado State Patrol dispatch center in Alamosa told authorities the report was
called in by an individual who said he was an airline pilot by profession and the
lights seemed out of the ordinary to him.

The lights were described as green with yellow and white material falling from the
main body of the object. (Valley Courier/Wolf/O'Brien)

A light blue orb floated the size of a golf ball floated through the living room went up the steps the disappeared. Lasted 10 seconds.

June 11, 2008. Morning, New San Acacio CO., Costilla County
Investigator: Thomas Peay

I moved from Wild Horse Mesa to (new) San Acacio mid August 2006.   The small adobe house needed repair and some ceiling dripping occurred from time to time in the room on the SW corner.  It had apparently been going on for some time as the previous owner left an extra piece of carpet on the floor over the installed carpet and stated I should leave it there.  He thought they had over-oiled the flat roof one time, and it continued to drip.  I did not use the room much, but summer of 2007 there were several leaks that went on my bookcase along the west wall, by the south wall and on the center ceiling light/fan fixture.  I called a roofer to have it repaired; he said there was a false roof, and the boards were rotten.  He tore the roof out completely over that room, rebuilt it and used new roofing that is sealed with a torch.   By Feb 2008 I started having dripping, and I thought maybe there was melting or something.  It notably did not leak ever during a rain or snow storm, the drips were like black or brown water, not oily.  The roofer resealed the edges, and stated there were no cracks or signs of pooling or frozen water on top.  The ceiling then dripped on my ironing board in that room, very brown looking.  It dripped again on my bookcase, and a third time on my tv in that room.  Also it dripped down the ceiling fan again.  I had the roofer back over end of May.  He was very puzzled, again no sign of where water could be getting in.  He resealed the edges again. 

I was having floor problems on the north side of the house and emptied the west rooms.  I put large sheets of paper on the floor in the SW room, and checked daily for leaks.  There was none the morning of Monday June 10th, but when I came back after lunch there was a fresh wet brown 2” diameter puddle on the paper.  It hadn’t rained for over a week and we’ve been having warm dry winds. 

The plumber putting in a new hot water heater said he’d had water drip down on him installing the new heater; the old one had been pulled a week before as flooring was being installed.  This room is next to where the leaks commonly are.

Another occurrence is my cell phone goes off maybe 3-4 times a week.  It is not uncommon to lose calls in this bad service area, but my phone goes completely dead.  I sent it in for repair, and the borrowed cell also went dead.  When I got my phone back it continues that behavior.  It did not do this at the previous house.  My Bose radio randomly goes on and off by itself.  Not often, maybe 5 times while I’ve been here.  Also, the contractor’s radio on my kitchen counter went on by itself this morning, June 11, 2008, as we were discussing the work he is doing. 

One last item, one night as I was drifting to sleep, I saw a bright light in my closet in the NW bedroom.  I figured it was the neighbor’s car lights shining in the window, but could see it was in the top of the closet.  I thought maybe I left a bathroom light on, and got out of bed and looked down the hall.  No lights.  I was really tired, and just went back to bed, and fell asleep with the closet lit. 

*Note I did go through the house with a EMF meter nothing unusual, there is a high tension power line to the east of th house about 300 feet to the east and in the front yard its putting off a reading 5-6 on the magnetic 0-100 range. The back yard also has a power line about 200 feet to the west of the house 7-8 on the magnetic 0-100 range...
 

June 9, 2008 11:31am, North of San Luis, CO, Highway 159, Costilla County
Investigator: Thomas Peay

Heading north on highway 159 1 mile north of the town of San Luis I noticed a round white sphere  floating to the east of Blanca Pk. It was moving towards the north as I pulled over to take a picture. The light disappeared. It was white and the size of my thumb at arms length.
Same Day 4:10pm, south of San Luis, CO
Heading south/west about a haft mile south of the town of San Luis on highway 149 a large inverted tear drop was to the west about 70 degrees it was white and translucent about 1/8 the size of my thumb at arms length. It disappeared as I slow down to a stop.  

June 7, 2008  10:30 PM, Near Hooper CO, Alamosa County                                           Investigator: Thomas Peay

Witness reported: "The kids and I were coming back from the movies.  At approx 10:30 PM as I was turning into the lane the headlights caught something that appeared to be humanoid that appeared to be startled by the headlights; it started moving north very fast in the field in front of the house.  It was 5-6ft tall and crossed 150+ feet in well under a second.  It didn't seem to run or jump, it just cruised/floated across at very high speed.  It was gray and blurry; it looked ethereal like the being I've seen before but taller; I didn't see much more detail than that.  I watch cars on the road going 50-60 MPH from the house and it takes them 3-4 seconds to cover that distance. Trying to rationalize it I thought well maybe it was a deer and I drove out
into the field and shined the headlights around and didn't see anything.  I got to thinking that deer bounce when they run and don't move nearly that fast and that I didn't see any light reflected from eyes which I should have seen at that angle if it was a deer.  Also, the profile was definitely upright, bipedal and humanoid not like a deer." (* note the next day about 20 feet apart strange marks in the earth 1 inch scoop marks in a line the direction they saw humanoid.)
Same Night Near Hooper, CO, Alamosa County
Investigator: Thomas Peay

Saturday at around 9:30pm(6/7/08) I went outside the south sun room to smoke.  Tarah was on the east side of the house and I walked around to talk to her.  I saw a light out of the corner of my eye above the tree in the front yard and it moved NW and down behind the tree and vanished.  It could have been a falling star but at the last part of it's travel right before it went behind the tree I was looking directly at it and it was larger than what I have seen falling stars before and was shaped like <( (connect those two symbols and extend the arcs out a bit more.)  A falling star that was that close andthat large shouldn't have burned out before getting back into visibility on the other side of the tree and/or hitting the ground.  Also at that range a
meteor should have left a visible smoke trail, there was no trail...

June 4, 2008, at sunset, Near Hooper, CO, Alamosa County
Investigator: Thomas Peay 

Witness reported, "My dog started freaking out growling and barking.  I went outside to check it out, he barks when people come by but never growls and he was growling like he was going to attack something, and there seemed to be nothing around.  There was a large truck on the 11 mile road, I figured that maybe he didn't like something about the sound of it and I went back inside.  A minute or so later he started doing it again.  This time when I went outside I still didn't see anything and there were no vehicles on the back roads.  When I turned to the west I heard something approx. 10 yards behind me dash across the lawn and around the house VERY fast, when I turned around I didn't see anything.  There was only a slight breeze that evening, not enough to rustle the bushes and such.  All three kids were
inside at the time."
 
May 30, 2008 11:30pm, Near Hooper, CO, Alamosa County

Witness went out side and there was a gargling sound by the wood pile and then about 12 feet above me it sound like two 2/4s hitting making a loud crack.
 

May 3, 2008, 4:45am, San Acacio Area Rd 11 and L, Costilla County
Investigator: Thomas Peay
Looking to the north at Blanca Pk, witness observed a bright white light was moving east to west the light was to the east over highway 1-60 and the Sangre De Christo the La Vita pass area and heading west along the front of Mt Blanca the light stop just to the west of Mt Blanca and was stationary for 30 seconds then it change direction and headed due north towards the San dunes. The light was _ the size of her thumb at arms length “brightest light she had ever seen at night”. The sighting lasted 2+ minutes.

Febuary 25, 2008, 2:00am, 1 mile south of Labatos bridge, Conejos Colorado
Investigator: Thomas Peay

Witness heard a very loud noise approaching from the west and a large black object flew over their heads, 500+ feet up, no lights the craft was flying from west to east. ( lasted 1 minute) could have be one of the C1 30s that fly over this area.

February 6, 2008  8:30 PM, two miles east of Manassa CO. Conejos County
Weather Conditions: Clear, New Moon.
Investigator: Thomas Peay

A mother and her 7 year old son where driving east on Highway 142 between the Conejos river and the San Antonia river as they came around the corner they where hit by a blinding flash of light that engulf their van. The light lasted for two seconds then went off for two seconds then flashed again for two seconds the driver slowed down to almost to a stop and looked back and up there was nothing behind them and they heard no sound. The blinding light appeared to be shining down from above the van. She was some what exhilarated and her son was frightened by the experience. The driver has lived in the valley for most of her life and this was the first unusual thing that had happen to her. The next day a friend from the town of Sanford Co (8 miles north from that point on highway 142) told her that her daughter had seen a similar light flashing down over M mountain just south of the town of Manassa CO. that same night.

January 10, 2008 at 7:55 PM Valley View Hot Springs, Saguache County

" As for the Valley View UFO:
 I was staying at the Oak Lodge. As you know, the restrooms are in another building. The sky was clear and very cold (below zero). After a couple of trips to the latrines, I noticed a bright star remaining fixed in the sky, almost directly overhead, as the others moved in their nightly arc. Since I was getting up anyway to get ready for some sunrise shots of the Valley,  I grabbed my D200 and using the roof of the rental car as a mount, started to take some shots.  I have my camera set up to not shoot if it is out of focus. It kept zooming in and out and not locking in. I then switched to manual focus, brought the stars in sharp,  leaned back against the car and fired away for 61 seconds. I started to shoot this object and the camera went nuts trying to focus on the object. I switched to manual focus, brought the stars in sharp and continued shooting at 5 frames per second. It was the object that was going in and out of focus! At times the object took on a fuzzy, comet like look. After about 30 photos and two minutes, it faded completely out of sight. The sky was getting brighter and I was wearing only a bathrobe in –20 degree weather,  so I stopped to duck inside the cabin for a coat. When I got back out, it was gone."

 As always, original jpegs are available for scrutiny. You have my permission to post the photos.

November 5 2007, Just after sunset South of San Luis, CO, at Wild Horse Mesa,
 
A young fourth grade student reported seeing a strange flying entity over southern Colorado. The entity was glowing gold in color, and it had black hair, not flowing in the wind or with its movement. Face was looking down, arms where moving like superman and rotating positions first right and then left, while one arm was out the other was against its side. It appeared to have wings which were not flapping and appeared to be about 3 to 4 feet in height and was wearing some type of uniform. It flew from east to west and no sound was detected. It was possibly about 20 feet away but she was not sure how high it was. The witness used the word “Angel” to describe the entity.

October 24, 2007 7:30 PM Near Mesita CO

Two witnesses saw an oranges/white light the size of a school bus moving from north to south along Culebra mountain range. In the binoculars the object looked like a rounded disc. The object moved in a weird motion moving forward dropping down and then backing up. They watch the object for over 5 minutes.

Large Balloons Sightings over Southern C0, Northern New Mexico.
details here:

“Driving out of town, going for one last stop. It's about 6:50 - the sun had already set behind the mountains. Noticed a bright patch of white in the darkening sky - too big for Venus, not quite as bright. Could be a very bright small cloud, but other clouds are drifting and this one isn't. At a parking lot, I braced my binoculars solidly, and determined the object was stationary for about 1/2 hour. I asked another person to look and tell me what he saw - it was the same. The object was about 25 degrees above the southern horizon, about 4x the size of Venus, and overall brightness roughly that of Jupiter - to the naked eye. There were no clouds near it, but cirrus clouds were approaching from the west.

"[I didn't have a] camera, so I memorized all I could, and later drew a picture. When I was a kid, I saw one that was all action and no detail. This was the opposite. I'm glad, because I'm tired of pictures of blobs and specks. This drawing is large (~ 1 MB) - if you zoom in, you will see my attempts to represent the following impressions. Feel free to copy the drawing; just don't alter it in any way, and don't represent it as an actual photograph. While the shape and placement of the object's features is reasonably accurate, my drawing cannot do it justice.

"It looked like a glowing diamond filled with countless strands of yellow-white light, each strand a string of countless beads of gleaming white, all of which floated in a transparent medium which permitted the sky color to pass through yet also glowed faintly due to its contents. It brought to mind one of those spectacular back-lit pictures of a live jellyfish by National Geographic. The brightness of the "corners" was more like that of Venus, but the interior was of lesser intensity.

"As the clouds began to pass under it, I knew it was pretty high up, pretty big, and not attached to a tether. As the clouds began to obscure it, it's light gradually changed from yellow-white to intense crimson, although the corners remained white. Therefore I thought the object might be reflective, rather than self-luminous - we get New Mexico sunsets. However, after it was obscured for a while and the sky was getting dark, the clouds thinned and the object was a faintly visible, yellow-white glow.  Object made no sound.

September 23rd 2007 : Ghost Mine Ranch, near Lagarita, Colorado
Seen from porch between 4:30 am and 4:45 am looking toward the town of Center,CO “an extraordinary large white light .... glittering... making jutting moves... the light dimmed twice to almost nothing ...saw through binoculars.... again glittering white— so white, shape [was] undetermined.
SAME NIGHT between 4:30 am and 4:45 am
An object appeared to be over middle of valley near Center, CO. Witness was looking east. The object was “so bright white and glittering.... unlike any known objects... became dim down to almost nothing and then bright and glittering.. bigger than any star or planet... a good 1/4 size of a full moon...” Witness watched object through binoculars but could not determine shape but said it could possibly have “a little crescent toward the top...” also observed quick movements.... twice..... then the 3rd time it dimmed when it had almost dissipated to nothing two small light streaks left and it was gone entirely...
"It was “much closer to the ground than a star or planet... pretty low for a commercial jet but not a small aircraft... it certainly had no blinking red or other determining aircraft light at absolutely all! when it moved I could not determined speed...                                                                                                                                 Thomas Peay Saguache County

September 22, 2007 Near San Acacio, CO

Witness watched a diamond shaped object for 20-40 minutes. It was described as a translucent ship that was seen to the south over Northern ew Mexico
Witness # 1 San Acacio CO stated: “I noticed a bright lights to the south about 10 o’clock on the southern horizon just to the west of Costilla New Mexico. It was between Jupiter and the Moon just below the ecliptic line about two thumb lengths, with a compass it was 160 degree mark. The light at arms length was the size of a pin head. It was brighter then Venus and you could see two lights together with the naked eye. The light was stationary and did not move for twenty minutes.”

“Then I observed the lights with my 10-50 binoculars it was reflecting light form the sun and was a golden diamond shape translucent with three lights internally you could see structure three parts the right and left were beveled outwards into the middle and the bottom was beveled to the middle making a straight line below the other two compartments. As the sun set the object glowed white with three separately lit compartments it would glow brighter and then weaken several times. The Diamond shape was more defined as it grew darker. The object disappeared around 7:43PM and the clouds moved in.
Witnesses #2 Costilla NM at 7pm. He stated: “My girlfriend and I were on our way to her moms B-day party and she noticed a bright light in the southern sky, just south of the rising moon to the east. I told her to pull over cause it just wasn't moving at all or blinking, and it was too bright and large to be a star especially do to the fact that it was still day light out, and she preceded to take three pictures of it. It was an easy shot for the camera do to the exposure with the light available.

"We went on to the party and once we arrived we just kept watching this still light, but this time with her mom and her step dad, brother, brother girl friend, and last to arrive was my friend and his two boys from San Diego CA. He the fire chief there for 12 fire districts in the down town area of the city. He's about as creditable as most, and by time he arrived we had found the binoculars and now were looking at the details of the UFO.

[I am] a professional artist, got a sketch pad and started drawing the shape of this thing, kind of smooched diamond -top to bottom, the bottom half being more of a warmer golden light, shimmering sparkles at those bottom edges(see illustration)The top half was clearly two large bright white lights side by side like eyes, almond shape to be exact.

After about 40 minutes. of watching it clearly, some clouds moved in and the object slowly disappeared.

Also it was my opinion that the object become even more transparent as before the later it got, as though the sun had some effect with it. I could increasingly see more sky through it.

September 1 2007 5:30 pm Baca Grande Development/Crestone, CO

Triangular lights were spotted over Challenger Peak Area from Crestone, Colorado at approximately 5:30. The reporting witness observed in the early morning sky, what appeared to be “a set of bluish/green triangular lights. The lights appeared over the Challenger Peak area looking eastward from my home. My view was unobstructed and I continued watching the objects with fascination when all of a sudden the triangle moved erratically from side to side and then up and down. After the erratic movement I woke my wife and asked if she saw what I was seeing (I have lived in this area for seven years and had seen similar sightings on and off but no one believed me)my wife said yes. The triangle then turned into one oval shape giving off a very bright white light. I continued watching this object as it headed in a south easterly direction and disappeared from view.

SAME NIGHT 8:30 PM Ft Garland CO

Two large white lights the size of two large truck reported flying from east to west 150 feet of the ground a _ mile south of highway 160 the object was flying at a very  high rate of speed
It took 10 seconds for the light to travel from the east to west and disappear out of sight. The reporting witness work at a US air force base for 20 + years and has never seen anything move that fast.

July 28, 2:00 PM 2007  Hooper, CO
 
Duration:2-3 minutes 3 craft sighted by several witnesses in clear daylight conditions. At the annual UFO Conference put on by the UFO Watchtower in Hooper, CO several people had the opportunity to witness what were described as “UFOs.“ About 2:00 PM Stan Romanek (one of the featured speakers at the event) was near the parking area outside the presentation building and was excited as he told me about the UFO he had just witnessed and taken some pictures of. He was really excited that he got pictures of it. He pointed out a spot above a patch of clouds near where the object was about 4 fingers (at arms length) above the distant mountain horizon in the northwest sky.  It was white in color and although it was a digital image, at a distance you could make out the classic saucer shape with a bubble protrusion on top. A few of us were taking turns looking at the image because the brightness of reflection of the sky in the monitor made it difficult to see well unless you stood directly in front of it.

While about 5 or 6 people were marveling at the picture Stan had just taken (with a Nikon Coolpix 6 mega pixel digital camera) I saw what appeared to be the same object in the same location off in the distant N/W horizon. I would guess the distance to be at least 35 miles away based on the distance of the mountain range it appeared to be over. It was very white and was dramatically accentuated by the darker blue sky background. It was also about 4 fingers (arms length) above the distant mountaintop to the northwest about the width of my pinkie finger above the white cloud bank below.

I described the location and I you could easily see that the object was not a cloud, balloon or plane. It stood perfectly still and the distinct sharpness of the edges eliminated it being a cloud as you could compare it to other clouds in the area.

We all watched as the stationery object defied cloud movement and all other rational or logical cross references we could use. Someone noticed an identical object about a pinkie width directly above the one we were watching. The one above slowly moved downward toward the original object until it was directly over the other nearly touching it.

After watching the object for a minute or two to eliminate any plausible explanation for what I was witnessing I went to get my camera and took 3 pictures. The 5 mega pixel Kodak photos were not distinct as the ones Stan took and only showed a white spot with no definition. At that time I left to tell others in the nearby building attending the conference about what was happening outside. By the time I returned both objects had left in different directions according to those watching it.

I served in the military in the mid- late 1960s in Naval Air Intelligence and was trained in aircraft identification. I am confident this was a physical object and not any kind of natural phenomenon. I have attached the 2 photos I took even though they are very poor quality compared to what we were visibly seeing.

Another odd note is that 6 individuals’ cell phones or watches were 1 hour off that morning plus another was 2 hours and another was off by 3 hours. The cell phone services were provided by at least 3 different services. No one had any explanation for this oddity.This is the first time I’ve reported a sighting.
