Unidentified Aerial Object Seen Near Stapleton Field

Summary

An observer in Denver, Colorado, reported an unidentified flying object (UFO) that suddenly appeared in the sky. While driving, they noticed a bright reddish object that remained stationary near Stapleton Field. The UFO did not disappear and stayed at an elevation of about 45 to 50 degrees. Its movement was slow and slightly to the left, which caught the observer's attention. Despite the object remaining visible for about five minutes, there were no significant changes or unusual behaviors noted.

The report, though incomplete and with OCR errors, suggests the UFO showed no signs of suspicious activity or clear identity. No physical or photographic evidence was found to support the account. Despite this, the observer's testimony is considered partially reliable, though with limitations. The case was recorded on January 25, 1967, and documented by T Sgt W.D. Autry.
