Denver UFO Report
|
|
|
|
Date: Jan 31st, 1993
|
|
|
|
Follow-up report on the reported UFO (unusual lights in the sky)
|
|
near Denver, Colorado. Original Report titled UFODEN.TXT.
|
|
|
|
At or about 16:30 hours sic [4:30 P.M.] the investigative team
|
|
met near the site of the reported UFO or unusual lights in the
|
|
sky. From this point South-West of Denver, at the Ken Caryl Ranch
|
|
area; we proceeded to the Bradford Elementary School. This was
|
|
the main spot from which Deputy M.S. reported seeing a strange
|
|
ball of light that was hovering at about 800 to 1000 feet above
|
|
the mountain peak about 1/2 mile away. He had pointed out the
|
|
specific spot to investigators during an earlier interview. He
|
|
also pointed out the other areas that he personally observed the
|
|
lights from.
|
|
|
|
From this first point at the Bradford Elementary School, we were
|
|
able to take several daylight photographs of the area for
|
|
familiarization. Then we drove around the housing additions to
|
|
get a better perspective on the road structure throughout the
|
|
area. Then the team retired to a restaurant to discuss the
|
|
expected procedure for later that evening.
|
|
|
|
The sun set, and the light started to fade at about 18:00 hours
|
|
sic [6:00 P.M.]. The team members were deployed out to their
|
|
respective observation points to await the hour that was listed
|
|
as the time when the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office received
|
|
the first calls reporting the lights in the sky. This had
|
|
occurred at 19:40 hours sic [7:40 P.M.] on the date of the
|
|
incident. Each observation point was manned by 2 investigators.
|
|
Each team had at least 1 camera [35 MM] to take photographs.
|
|
|
|
The primary team was set up at the Bradford Elementary School
|
|
parking lot. At 19:40 hours sic [7:40] they photographed the, now
|
|
darkened mountainside, with the houses in the foreground. This
|
|
was shot with a 35 MM, SLR camera, with a 55 MM Pentax lens, and
|
|
Kodacolor ASA 400 film. These photographs that were aimed at the
|
|
center of the peak did not show the planet Venus in or near the
|
|
frame of the photographs. The planet Venus was quite prominent
|
|
in the sky at that time at night. However, it was also at a very
|
|
high angle that was West and at a higher azimuth than the
|
|
reported objects.
|
|
|
|
At the base of the saddle between the mountain that was the focal
|
|
point of the "strange lights sightings" and the next mountain
|
|
South, there is a low profile house. The occupants of this house
|
|
will be questioned at a later date, to see if they were aware of
|
|
any "strange lights" in their area on the night of January 25th,
|
|
1993.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At 20:40 hours sic [8:40 P.M.] photographs were taken from
|
|
Bradford Elementary School parking lot again with the same camera
|
|
and film. In this photograph, no lights were seen in the area of
|
|
the mountain peak. However, it is noted that the planet Venus had
|
|
now traversed low enough in its arc in the Western sky to be on
|
|
the extreme top and Western edge of the photograph. The
|
|
photographer might have set the camera up at an angle slightly
|
|
Western of the original shot to get the planet Venus in the
|
|
photograph. However, with the ambient light levels in the area,
|
|
it would be extremely hard for an experienced police officer and
|
|
the other witnesses to mistake the planet for a "ball of light
|
|
about 1/2 mile away, about 12 feet in diameter, and ten times
|
|
brighter that the street lights across from the parking lot".
