A Granby, CO, witness reported watching a silent, cigar-shaped object projecting a beam of light about 8:02 p.m. on January 2, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness had just gone outside to look at the stars when the object was first seen.
"As I watched it come closer I could see it had two lights on the body with a flashing light in between," the witness stated. "The color of the lights were kind of amber. It did not have red and white flashing lights, FAA regulations."
The witness described the object's movement.
"It was flying in a straight line.I could see a jet flying in the background and I could faintly hear the jet sound, but this object that was closer made no sound that I could hear. I live in the mountains and it was a quiet night. I can't tell you how high or how far it was but I can say it was definitely over my valley. I should have heard something."
The witness watched the object until it flew out of sight.

January 2, 2013, 8:02 p.m., Granby, CO. Large forward beam of light, like a train. Two lights on the body with a flashing light between, not red and white. No sound! Case 44999.
I stepped outside to look at the stars and I saw a beem of light being projected from a flying object. I could not imagine what it was. As I watched it come closer I could see it had two lights on the body with a flashing light inbetween. The color of the lights were kind of amber. It did not have red and white flashing lights, FAA regs. It was flying in a straight line.I could see a jet flying in the background and I could faintly hear the jet sound, but this object that was closer made no sound that I could hear. I live in the mountains and it was a quiet nite. I cant tell you how high or how far it was but I can say it was defintly over my valley. I should have heard something. I watched the object and its large beem of light until it flew out of sight. I have seen a ufo during the day and I know they exsist! Iam pretty sure this was my second sighting.
