There have been multiple sighting reports from the Denver area of Colorado, all referring to 11-09-09. These are compelling for a couple of different reasons.

One is that at least five separate reports have been made of the same sighting. Secondly, it is very interesting to see how individuals report the same event with quite different ways.

Colorado - 11-09-09 - At approximately 6:20 PM MST, my brother Bill called me outside. He sounded very excited. I rushed outside as quickly as possible and he said, "Look right there!" as he pointed to the south / south east.

I would say it looked to be over the Denver / Aurora skyline. It looked to be falling straight down, then all of a sudden it split or broke up into four fire balls, all of which were still extremely bright and seemed to be about the same size as original.

Then it looked to me as if they started kind of swirling and coming together again while slowing down to almost a complete stop just above a tree line in my view. We rushed inside to grab chairs, but when I returned the fireballs were gone.

Colorado - 11-09-09 - I was heading east on Alameda Ave. in Lakewood, CO., driving home from work, when I looked up into the sky facing east. I saw what looked like a large red fire ball falling from the sky.

I almost wrecked my car because I thought a plane or helicopter was going down. Then I looked again, and the fire ball split apart into 8 flying objects that were all lit up and flew together across the sky, not in a row, but in a triangle formation.

Then they were gone that fast. Maybe they were fighters planes, but I have never seen that many at once together. I definately felt they were chasing something that fell from the sky. I checked the news but have heard nothing. What an awesome experience whatever it was.

Colorado - 11-09-09 - MUFON dispatch took this sighting over the phone - Steve Cox, MUFON Dispatch

Looked like a circle with a ring around it, 6 of them, lights were yellowish white, making a octagon pattern. They were pretty low, twisting back and forth, glowing very bright, then dimming and twisting to the left and got bright again.

Then I saw 2 airplanes - 1 from the south and 1 from the north, were approaching them The objects left rapidly. The witness was north west of the sighting. Witness states it was about a mile away from witness and a about 200 feet above tree line.

Colorado - 11-09-09 - I noticed 6 yellow / orange lights over Denver toward Lakewood area around 6 PM (just after dark) while driving home from work. I had just turned, facing west onto Hampden Avenue from Gun Club Road in my car, when I noticed 6 yellow-orange glowing lights as my car was crossing the Hampden/E470 bridge.

Lights were at a distance across the metro area, in the direction of Lakewood. Their movement and appearance stuck me as highly unusual upon first sight.

The 6 lights were approximately 1000 feet over the metro area, moving around each other rapidly. One of the 6 lights broke away from the others, descending rapidly toward the ground. The remaining lights moved upward slightly in the opposite direction, and dimmed / faded out over about 5 seconds.

I pulled my car off of Hampden Avenue to see if the lights would return, however, they did not come back into view. I waited a few minutes, but did not see them again. The entire sighting from the point I noticed the lights until they disappeared was approximately 30 seconds.

I thought it might have been a fireworks display at Invesco Field. However, the lights movement and color did not resemble any type of explosion / fireworks that I had seen before. There were also a number of aircraft over the metro area at the time of the sighting, howeve,r the lights did not appear to have any strobes like airplanes or helicopters.

Their movement was too rapid and unusual to be regular aircraft. I work in the aviation industry at DIA, and live near Buckley AFB. I am very used to seeing all types of rotor and fixed wing aircraft of military, commercial and civil variety. The lights over Lakewood did not resemble anything I had seen prior to this evening.
