Date of Sighting: July 2, 2009
Time of Sighting: 10:08 PM MDT
Location of Sighting: Longmont, Colorado (About 20 Miles North of Denver)

Description: At 22:08 I saw a large yellow-orange ball in the southwest sky. It was 50 times larger than a plane light. It was still and after a minute it became 3 then 4 then 5 then 6 in a cluster and each seemed oval. They did not move for about 30 seconds and then started to descend slightly and then disappeared. Total time elapsed during the sighting was over 2 minutes. My husband witnessed it also. It is illegal to shoot aerial fireworks on our area, but before this occured there were poppers evident. There were none at the time of the sighting.

Note: The witness seems convinced that the objects were not fireworks. Given available information I tend to agree. (See update below.)

Update (July 9, 2009) - Information Received From One of Witnesses: Hello William and Longmont is no longer under suspicion for a UFO landing site. It turns out it was a precision parachute team practicing night maneuvers with lights attached. They were above the airport area. Thank you for you interest and I appologize for alerting you needlessly.
