“A dozen employees at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre claim they saw a strange object light up the Colorado sky earlier this month, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
The observers, who said they work for the Morrison, Colorado venue, described a dark metallic disk that appeared north of the amphitheater at around 1 a.m. on June 5, the center reported.
The object appeared to be several hundred feet long and hovered in place for 30 seconds before heading east at about 5-10 mph and vanishing, according to a report the center posted.”

I’m the person who made the original report to the UFO database. I was on the loading dock that night and saw the craft that was hovering. Here’s the follow up story:
https://denvergazette.com/outtherecolorado/news/red-rocks-ufo-vanished-when-hit-with-beam-from-flashlight-says-witness/article_e9c96dc6-359c-11ef-b9a0-57de1af74a8e.amp.html
Ask me anything!
Hi there. Must have been a crazy experience. People often wonder why we don't have clear pictures of UFO/UAP despite almost everyone being equipped with a smartphone these days. What made you NOT record or photograph the craft? Not enough time, not thinking about it because of being in awe or maybe sth else? Thank you. :)
The follow up article explains it, but basically we were working. We were loading semis full of expensive concert equipment and then one guy noticed it and pointed it out. We all looked at it and then one guy shined his flashlight on it. Then the thing tipped, moved slowly to the east and disappeared. By the time we realized what was really happening it was gone. 30 seconds max.
Thank you. I think that's sth people quickly forget. I can't even get a decent picture of the moon most of the time but we expect people to take great pictures in these kind of moments for some reason.
Word! I used to live near Red Rocks, never saw any UFOs, sadly. The local news insinuated that you were high - low blow, but have to ask if there was any truth to that? I do remember seeing military helicopters occasionally, including Chinooks. Could it have been something like that? Did it feel like it was influencing your mind, emotions, actions?
Lol no we were not high. You can’t be fucked up while loading semis with expensive concert gear. But I do love all the jokes about it! They’ve been cracking me up. 😂
I know what a Chinook helicopter looks like. My roommates rode one out of Jamestown during the Boulder floods of 2013. Those helicopters are extremely loud. What we saw was totally silent. We have no idea how long it was there before we noticed it.
It didn’t affect our thoughts or emotions, but we all got the feeling that it knew we were watching it. One of our coworkers had one of those super-powered flashlights and tried to shine it on the craft. As soon as he did that it filleted forward, moved slightly to the east and disappeared into thin air.
How high off the ground was it? Did you happen to notice any other distinguishable features, like a texture or lights or anything? Apologies if this has been answered already
A big misconception is that this thing was way up in the sky. It wasn’t. It was hovering over the hill not very high off the ground. It was just off the horizon, not way up above our heads. An old boycott trick is to hold your hand up to the horizon to see how many hand lengths you have left before the sun sets. This thing was just two fingers above the horizon.
Couldn’t see any other features. It was too far away and it was matte black. Like the blackest black you’ve ever seen. The black blended in with the night sky so well, we probably wouldn’t have seen it if it didn’t have its lights on.
The lights were around the edge rim of the disc. They were evenly spaced apart and you could see them curve around the to backside of the disc.
I was not wearing my glasses and I have an astigmatism, so I could not make out the windows. All I could see was the disc and the lights going around it. It was my a couple of my coworkers who said they could see the windows. They said it was like a grid that was 3 squares high several dozen squares long all the way around the craft. The thing was a couple blocks long, hence why I described it as a “3 story office building in the sky”. It really was that big.
Wow that’s incredible! Thanks for sharing all of this. Did it turn you into a full believer? What is your gut instinct on what it could have been? Cheers!
I have no fucking clue. My honest thoughts are that it was either an alien craft or a secret military thing. Reverse engineered alien craft piloted by military? Who knows. All I know is that these things are 100% real and they behave exactly how people describe them. Hovers silently. Bright lights. Disc shaped. Black matte metal. Operated by some form of intelligence. Disappeared through cloaking device.
It changed my worldview forever.
Hi! Thanks for answering questions. I see a lot about its potential size and color, but what was its shape? Did everyone see the same thing and agree on the color , shape, size?
Thanks!
Edit: I see the disk part, but was it just a perfect circular thingy? When it tilted, did it look differently
The security cameras at Red Rocks caught the moment we all stopped to look at it, but the cameras weren’t pointed off the property so they didn’t catch the UFO.
Good idea, hopefully they have someone bored or interested enough to thoroughly go through everything. A couple thoughts, if they have any cameras at the small building labeled box office, that is half the distance. And if anyone knew the owners of the fancy house on the hill Jurassic Rd, a doorbell or driveway cam there would be pointed in the right direction.
can you and all the observers put together a series of testimony? I think it’d do a lot to lending credibility to talks sighting and 12 ppl coming together to say this was real would give it a lot of weight I think.
I’m gonna try to get the others to come out and say something as well. We’ve talked about it since then but nobody has really been public about.
I have to say, I wasn’t expecting this to blow up.i don’t even contact the news, they just happened to read my nuforc report. I was just reporting it in case other people also saw the same thing and reported it.
Respect man. It really takes courage to come forward because all ppl have ever gotten in return for their ufo accounts is ridicule. I truly think since there were 12 of you and you all came forward it would be really hard to dismiss. I hope you coming forward and having support from 11 others who all know what you guys saw can give everyone the courage to come forward. It’s what we need to move this topic forward. Real ass ppl just simply laying their stories down and saying “ik what I saw but idk wth it is that I saw! But I saw it!”
I’ve had a sighting myself from close range in the mountains. That shit will stick with you man, I promise.
Seriously. If you read the follow up interview I talk about how we all need to come forward to end the stigma. I don’t care if people ridicule me or think I’m crazy. I know I’m crazy! (For completely different reasons 🤪)
You know this community backs you dawg! I commend you and thank you for sharing. Many more would love to hear your story! Especially with the backing of 12 ppl. There will be ridicule but who cares, those ppl are both ignorant and arrogant. End of the day y’all know your truth.
I’m gonna try to get the other 12 people to come forward as well! I didn’t even want to report this to the news. They just found it on the niforc website and ran with it. But if the story helps the others come public, then good!
Your description reminded me of my sighting, matte black basically but just different enough of a color compared to the color of the sky that I could tell it was all one solid object with 3 lights on it. Me and another witness saw ours fade away as it moved away slowly as well. It almost looked like a fog around it. I also noticed the stars being blocked out behind it confirming for me it was solid. Did you see stars out that night or was it early morning? Did it interact with light in any other noteable ways? Like were the windows or body of it reflecting the light from its lights or moon or anything?
LIKE A FOG AROUND IT! That’s how I’ve been describing it - like a car that drives off into the fog.
We could see lots of stars. Very clear night. No clouds in the sky. And it did block out the stars! Without the lights around its edge rim, and without it blocking out the stars, we might not have ever seen it. Like if it was just black with no lights on, we probably wouldn’t have even looked in its direction. The lights drew our attention and then we could make out the shape.
No reflection off this thing. It was like it absorbed all the light around it. Blacker than black.
The follow up article explains why we didn’t get pictures. We were busy working and by the time we realized what was happening the thing disappeared. We only saw it for a few moments before someone shined a flashlight towards it and it disappeared.
Hey man, thanks for sharing your story. What are the odds Red Rocks has a security camera pointed in that direction that might have caught it on video? Have you spoken with anyone internally about that?
I contacted CDOT yesterday to see if a camera on c-470 had footage from that night, apparently those traffic cams don't record footage, they are just for live viewing.
Cheers from Morrison/Lakewood
I called Red Rocks the next day and asked them to check the security footage. They told me that they caught the moment we all stopped working and looked off into the distance to see the thing, but the cameras are only pointed downward to catch everything on the property. The cameras aren’t pointed off the property, so they didn’t catch it on film.
Can you get a copy of the video where everyone stops working and looks? That would corroborate your story and give timing for the whole event. What was the latitude/longitude of where you were standing and what's the approximate lat/long of where you saw it initially? What's the approximate lat/long of the direction it headed?
Longitude and latitude? Woah there, Lewis & Clark. I didn’t exactly have my compass on my at the time. Jk 😂
We were standing on the loading dock across the road from the Trading Post. We were looking off the back rail of the dock towards the northeast.
It’s hard to tell exactly where this thing was hovering. I guesstimated it to be 0.5-1 mile away and hovering just above the hills directly next to Red Rocks. But some people I was with thought this thing was larger than a couple hundred yards and sat even further in the distance.
I should try to get that video! That’s a good idea. When security told me they didn’t capture the object on camera I was just disappointed and gave up. Didn’t even think that the video of us all looking odd into the distance would help. I’ll ask security!
You can get lat/long off Google maps after the fact. Just tap on the map where you think it was approximately and you'll get a marker with coordinates.
Where I was standing: (39.6645385, -105.2024465)
Rough area of where I think the object was: (39.6735165, -105.1984407)
Again, the object was above the horizon so it was hard to pinpoint exactly where it was hovering over. This is where I thought it was located. But other people I was with thought the object was larger and further in the distance.
I'm not familiar with the area so the coordinates are helpful. The position you marked is closer than I imagined. Based on street view, it looks like you probably have a clear unobstructed view in the direction you were looking and it's open terrain, not a lot of brush or trees. Looks like there's houses in the approx area where you saw it. Wonder if they have cameras or if anyone there saw anything? The video of the loading dock would help corroborate your story... even if it's only viewing you working and then stopping to look up. Thanks.
Since I work in the concert industry, I know a lot of people who do video production. I’m going to go back to the site and take some video from where we were. Then he’s gonna superimpose a CGI craft over the video and recreate the scene. He says he’s gonna try to make it as close as possible to what we saw.
I did draw a picture of it, but I’m a horrible artist and all I had was a ballpoint pen and a piece of printer paper. Not the most realistic drawing of what we saw.
Daaamnnn that's wild
Edit link to your drawing https://www.reddit.com/user/SabineRitter/comments/1drfsne/lemonator8976s_drawing_of_a_flying_saucer_over/
I drew it the 3 days after the event happened. But the written description I wrote within 2.5 hours of the event. I wanted to make sure that I documented what we saw while it was still fresh in my mind.
30 seconds and a dozen people. If it was a Taylor Swift sighting we would have 29 seconds of footage from 12 different angles
Also a 300’ dark object hovered over a ridge a MILE away on a moonless night and a) you could see 3 levels of windows? b) one person says it moved East at 5-10 mph snd another says it slowly disappears in place. Which was it? C) someone thought a flashlight would illuminate something at that distance???
I believe in UFO’s and badly want proof, but there are some odd things about this story.
At a Taylor Swift concert people have their phones ready. Loading a semi truck? Not so much. We get yelled at for having our phones out while working. Plus, half the crew wears bulky work gloves while loading trucks.
Yes it was pitch black and yes it was 0.5-1 mile away but it had super bright lights. Without those lights we probably wouldn’t have seen it at all.
a) I wasn’t wearing my glasses and have an astigmatism, so I couldn’t make out the windows as well as the others could. But they said it was like a grid of windows that were 3 squares high and several dozen squares wide, wrapping all the way around the disc.
b) It moved to the east at 5-10 mph and THEN it disappeared.
c) That guy had one of those super powerful flashlights. We don’t know what the hell he was thinking, because no it didn’t illuminate the craft. All it did was make the thing realize it was being watched and then it disappeared.
Every time we go back to work we all look off in the direction that we saw it, just hoping it will appear again. You better bet next time I’ll have my phone out and ready within 2 seconds!

Check this out too
So I'm not a skeptic, in fact I studied plasma cosmology and large-scale structure of the universe etc and to me it's quite obvious that the universe is going to be teeming with life, patterns of organic energy or Wu Li.
And I also don't typically believe that a photo or video evidence even helps because you know that crap can be faked. But I wonder: out of 12 employees, were they all so busy none of them could whip out their phones which surely at least one person had on them? Why are there 12 employees at Red Rock at 1:00 a.m., setting up for a morning concert maybe? Crap I guess I should shut up and read the article LOL
That makes sense I was thinking that possibility too but then I was thinking what about all the people that would still be leaving the venue you know it seems like there be some people still around Red rocks area. But anyway I guess I'm just itching for some new evidence even though in my mind I don't even need it it's more for other people.
And oh my gosh you have probably the most fitting username I've ever seen in any context on Reddit.
As someone who has experienced the phenomena a few times in a few different ways I can definitely tell you that for me it was so captivating and fleeting that taking a picture doesn't really come to mind. The two times that it did last for a long time I got the overwhelming feeling to just enjoy and appreciate the experience instead of finding some way to record it.
It wasn't until I experienced this myself that I finally got the answer to that question you asked. It was one that I had asked myself many many times over the years. I sincerely hope you experience it yourself first hand, you'll understand.
Honestly I do know what you mean and you make a good point. At the time I did witness craft we didn't really have commonplace phones with cameras but come to think of it you're right I don't even know if I would have pulled one out because it was so entrancing to watch, it's not the first thought that comes to mind especially back then when you didn't even carry cameras around with you everywhere.
When I was young I'd lay on the top of the barn and just watch what we thought were satellites change directions and accelerate etc. Couple decades later I saw a big silent triangular thing come off of lake Michigan over the Northwest part of lower Michigan. Also saw a silent one that seemed more rectangular shaped, at least the lighting structure on it was but it also made no noise and did a similar thing coming off of lake Michigan over the land. the other thing I saw in that same area was a massive singular thundercloud which, lol you guessed it... rolled in off of lake Michigan over the land, it had what seems like other shapes are much smaller clouds coming in and out of it and so much lightning activity it was just amazing. Well the first two ships or objects whatever they were flew directly over me which is how I know they were silent, but the cloud thing was miles off I could see it up in the sky. That last one very well could have just been a weather phenomenon but that was the craziest one I've ever seen lol
Yep.
Seems to me that stopping the subjective experience of "looking at something" in order to "take a pic/vid of something", might be the difference between "sharing" and "taking". Also, it seems that "taking" assumes an authoritative position that reduces the other. Respect and all. Just guessin'.
Glad you replied I thought I was shadow banned lol.
But yeah, I live like half an hour from red rocks and am there all the time. It’s very usual for people to be there at 1am
I’m also not a skeptic. Something is going on. However, I’d also mention that it doesn’t sound like the object did anything anomalous. If everyone saw it zig-zag at thousands of miles an hour…now we’re talking…
I just read another post that says the object appears to have vanished. So…this is, indeed interesting.
Hundreds of feet long then "vanished" into thin air. That's instant acceleration in action. The move so fast that you often can't even detect the movement with your eyes.

Would it have been caught on any surveillance cameras in the area? Or video of your group stopping to look it?
The security cameras at Red Rocks caught the moment we all stopped to look at it, but the cameras weren’t pointed off the property so they didn’t catch the UFO.
Would be good to save that if possible, just to corroborate the date/time and the report.
Someone else suggested this and I agree. I'm going to contact security and see if I can get the footage from the dock that night.
Good idea, hopefully they have someone bored or interested enough to thoroughly go through everything. A couple thoughts, if they have any cameras at the small building labeled box office, that is half the distance.

30 seconds and a dozen people. If it was a Taylor Swift sighting we would have 29 seconds of footage from 12 different angles Also a 300’ dark object hovered over a ridge a MILE away on a moonless night and a) you could see 3 levels of windows? b) one person says it moved East at 5-10 mph snd another says it slowly disappears in place. Which was it? C) someone thought a flashlight would illuminate something at that distance??? I believe in UFO’s and badly want proof, but there are some odd things about this story.
At a Taylor Swift concert people have their phones ready. Loading a semi truck? Not so much. We get yelled at for having our phones out while working. Plus, half the crew wears bulky work gloves while loading trucks. Yes it was pitch black and yes it was 0.5-1 mile away but it had super bright lights. Without those lights we probably wouldn’t have seen it at all. a) I wasn’t wearing my glasses and have an astigmatism, so I couldn’t make out the windows as well as the others could. But they said it was like a grid of windows that were 3 squares high and several dozen squares wide, wrapping all the way around the disc. b) It moved to the east at 5-10 mph and THEN it disappeared. c) That guy had one of those super powerful flashlights. We don’t know what the hell he was thinking, because no it didn’t illuminate the craft. All it did was make the thing realize it was being watched and then it disappeared.
Fascinating account. Would have been the story of the century if there were any images. Maybe it will come back and someone will image it
Every time we go back to work we all look off in the direction that we saw it, just hoping it will appear again. You better bet next time I’ll have my phone out and ready within 2 seconds!
“A dozen employees at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre claim they saw a strange object light up the Colorado sky earlier this month, according to the National UFO Reporting Center. The observers, who said they work for the Morrison, Colorado venue, described a dark metallic disk that appeared north of the amphitheater at around 1 a.m. on June 5, the center reported. The object appeared to be several hundred feet long and hovered in place for 30 seconds before heading east at about 5-10 mph and vanishing, according to a report the center posted.”
I’m always titillated when they show up in Colorado. Would love to see one myself sometime.
I guess they love Colorado scenery as much as we do.

So I'm not a skeptic, in fact I studied plasma cosmology and large-scale structure of the universe etc and to me it's quite obvious that the universe is going to be teeming with life, patterns of organic energy or Wu Li. And I also don't typically believe that a photo or video evidence even helps because you know that crap can be faked. But I wonder: out of 12 employees, were they all so busy none of them could whip out their phones which surely at least one person had on them? Why are there 12 employees at Red Rock at 1:00 a.m., setting up for a morning concert maybe? Crap I guess I should shut up and read the article LOL
Artist curfew is 11:45pm, it's not that long after a show to still be cleaning up/breaking down.
That makes sense I was thinking that possibility too but then I was thinking what about all the people that would still be leaving the venue you know it seems like there be some people still around Red rocks area. But anyway I guess I'm just itching for some new evidence even though in my mind I don't even need it it's more for other people. And oh my gosh you have probably the most fitting username I've ever seen in any context on Reddit.
As someone who has experienced the phenomena a few times in a few different ways I can definitely tell you that for me it was so captivating and fleeting that taking a picture doesn't really come to mind. The two times that it did last for a long time I got the overwhelming feeling to just enjoy and appreciate the experience instead of finding some way to record it. It wasn't until I experienced this myself that I finally got the answer to that question you asked. It was one that I had asked myself many many times over the years. I sincerely hope you experience it yourself first hand, you'll understand.
Honestly I do know what you mean and you make a good point. At the time I did witness craft we didn't really have commonplace phones with cameras but come to think of it you're right I don't even know if I would have pulled one out because it was so entrancing to watch, it's not the first thought that comes to mind especially back then when you didn't even carry cameras around with you everywhere. When I was young I'd lay on the top of the barn and just watch what we thought were satellites change directions and accelerate etc. Couple decades later I saw a big silent triangular thing come off of lake Michigan over the Northwest part of lower Michigan. Also saw a silent one that seemed more rectangular shaped, at least the lighting structure on it was but it also made no noise and did a similar thing coming off of lake Michigan over the land. the other thing I saw in that same area was a massive singular thundercloud which, lol you guessed it... rolled in off of lake Michigan over the land, it had what seems like other shapes are much smaller clouds coming in and out of it and so much lightning activity it was just amazing. Well the first two ships or objects whatever they were flew directly over me which is how I know they were silent, but the cloud thing was miles off I could see it up in the sky. That last one very well could have just been a weather phenomenon but that was the craziest one I've ever seen lol

Yep. Seems to me that stopping the subjective experience of "looking at something" in order to "take a pic/vid of something", might be the difference between "sharing" and "taking". Also, it seems that "taking" assumes an authoritative position that reduces the other. Respect and all. Just guessin'.
This. Exactly.
same. i would have missed it as well had i decided to try and capture it.
Taking down after a concert?
Yeah someone else mentioned that too and I figured that was the other possibility.
Glad you replied I thought I was shadow banned lol. But yeah, I live like half an hour from red rocks and am there all the time. It’s very usual for people to be there at 1am
I’m also not a skeptic. Something is going on. However, I’d also mention that it doesn’t sound like the object did anything anomalous. If everyone saw it zig-zag at thousands of miles an hour…now we’re talking… I just read another post that says the object appears to have vanished. So…this is, indeed interesting.
Hundreds of feet long then "vanished" into thin air. That's instant acceleration in action. The move so fast that you often can't even detect the movement with your eyes.
Sounds to me like it re-cloaked.
