Report of Investigation for Case 15-033 (Colorado)
Multiple witnesses saw a glowing orb moving over a lake in Colorado while photographing the sky with a 6mm fisheye lens. The lake and the opposite shore of the lake are visible in these photos.
The case was closed due to discontinued witness response, but we have a large collection of photographs. In some of these, the orb appears to be visible and is just over the lake.
Our growing photo library
We’re always adding new photos to our library. Some are IFOs (like the one below from the U.S. Department of Defense), some are genuine unknowns, and quite a few are in that grey area where we spend much of our time.
If you have any photos you would like us to look at, please contact us. If it is a real UFO photo or video you took, then please use our reporting form. In either case, we want to know as many of the specifics as possible, including the provenance of the image. If it’s a really good one, and contains no PII, we may feature it here or in one of our videos.
1972 UFO Photographs?
We received these three photographs in 2013 via e-mail. Unfortunately, we were not able to establish a chain of custody, but we are told they are from 1972. If these look familiar to you, please contact us and perhaps we can nail down the source. We have seen similar photographs before, so we are not ready to jump to any conclusions about what they are.
ROI for Case 12-020 photographic anomaly
One of the witness photos from 12-020
Case 12-020 was based upon photographs taken in 2006. This case illustrates that apparently interesting anomalies showing up only on photographs are nearly always something mundane upon further analysis. We took a very close look at these photos to make sure.
