Episode 17 – I Know What I Remember
Released: 7 June 2021
Duration: 59 minutes, 30 seconds
Central Casting Saucer Spotted Outside Louisville; a Colorado Campout Overhead Light Show; and a Terrifying Idaho Orb Encounter
Several really good cases to cover in this episode! A mother and daughter saw a right-out-of-central-casting flying saucer maneuvering over them in the early evening of December 11, 2020. They were in a large urban area just outside Louisville. And we hear from a Colorado camper who got more than he bargained for under the stars the night of May 13, 2021: a mass of seemingly connected white lights cavorting in the sky for several hours as he and a companion took in the spectacle. A Witness in Caldwell, Idaho on May 17, 2021 recorded an orb flying along that seemingly changed directions to fly towards him. It stopped momentarily over his house as he took cover under an awning in fear of what it might do next!
Also in this podcast, Paul Carr presents another in his series of Unidentified Science episodes. He covers the issues surrounding fallible human recall.
We also introduce you to our newest API Investigator, Roger Draper. He hails from the San Francisco area and, with a background in law enforcement, investigation, and his DOD experience, he’s a real bonus addition to the team!

Closer look at a witness submitted video: Case 21-021 AN 1
A new witness submitted video has us scratching our heads. This was shot on an ordinary cell phone: an LG G7 Thinq, and was shot in full HD. It was roughly an hour after sunset on 13 May 2021. The 60 fps clip is just under 30 seconds long (1786 frames). The camera was oriented toward the southeast. We have interviewed the first witness, who shot the video. The total duration of the event he describes was about 5 hours.
We still don’t know how to interpret what we are seeing here, and haven’t completely ruled out sensor defects, or possibly a strong magnetic field. Some more tests are required with the camera in question. We are also hoping to speak to a second witness.
If you were in or around Pueblo, Colorado on the night of 13th of May, and saw anything unusual in the sky, please contact us as soon as possible: https://reportaufo.org.
Witness photos from Derby, UK
Case 21-017 is in the process of investigation, although we hope to have a report out in the next few weeks. Here are some photos that the witness took with an iPhone XS max, cropped and processed a bit by API. The cropped images have been scaled up without interpolation.
These were shot on 14 May 2021. The sky was overcast.
