A Colorado witness at Loveland reported a "strange craft" crossing the sky about 11:35 a.m. on January 6, 2013, that seemed to change shape between a cigar and a saucer, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
"Witnessed a strange craft traveling north by northwest in a semi linear path changing its elevation, up then down, in a seemingly unnatural way, maintaining a medium speed rate with no lights or any markings indicating its terrestrial origins," the witness stated.
The object seemed to change shape.
"Its shape was at times a cigar and at moments a saucer shape. It looked smooth and either silver or white."
After the object moved away, the witness stated that a military vehicle moved in the same direction.
"Moments after, a black, military-style helicopter was seen going in the same direction as the unidentified craft, being around a half mile out."
No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 6, 2013. The above quotes were edited for clarity. Loveland is in Larimer County, population 66,859.
