You guys, we were in the middle of Child’s Play when we decided to step on our back porch to watch the fireworks. We enjoyed fireworks for just a few minutes when I noticed a vivid orange object in the sky, flying in a circular pattern that is not typical or possible for a helicopter or plane. I didn’t bring my phone so I yelled for my spouse to record it. Our back patio faces south. It very well could have been over Colorado Springs. The object flew in circular motions and then flew straight up where it disappeared. Yes, I realize its new years and people are popping fireworks. This was very clearly not a firework. The way it moved, the way it flew straight up, and the way it disappeared were not characteristic of planes, helicopters, or fireworks. How do I upload the video?? I keep trying to attach it to this post but it’s not showing my video as an option.
For what it’s worth, I’m very skeptical and can usually find rational explanations for things I see.
Also, the way it flew up and disappeared; it was almost as if it were reacting to the sudden fireworks going off. It seemed like, confused at first, and then flew up to get away shortly after ALL the city started popping fireworks.
