Are UFOs Flying Over Denver? See the Video Captured by Both an Anonymous Tipster and a Local News Station

Nov. 13, 2012 8:49am Liz Klimas

The local Fox affiliate near Denver, KDVR, received a video tip from a man who wished to remain anonymous showing unidentified objects taken with his digital camera. Although many might be quick to jump to the conclusion that they’re UFOs of the extraterrestrial variety, some have other ideas that hit a bit closer to home.

KDVR reported the tipster saying that the objects appear between noon and 1 p.m. near the Denver metro area “at least a couple times a week.” The footage was taken on a hill in the Federal Heights area. The news station said it had to slow down the footage in order to more clearly see the images. It also added contrast to increase visibility.

Denver News Station Captures Reoccurring UFOs Sent in by Anonymous Tipster

Given that photo-doctoring equipment is easy to come by, KDVR also wanted to verify the footage for themselves. Since the tipster said this is a reoccurring event, they sent out their own photojournalist, Noah Skinner, to see if he could replicate the footage. They brought in an expert to review it as well:

Aviation expert Steve Cowell is a former commercial pilot, instructor and FAA accident prevention counselor.

He thought he would have a logical explanation, until he watched the video. “That is not an airplane, that is not a helicopter, those are not birds, I can’t identify it,” he said. He also told us the objects are not insects.

He said he knows of no aircraft that flies as fast. He did tell us there is one other possibility. “Perhaps there’s some sort of debris that is being raised up by some of the atmospheric winds.”

But in his professional opinion, “As it fits the definition, it’s an unidentified flying object.”

Some would disagree with Cowell’s writing of the bugs explanation though. Doubtful News author “Chew” (via the Huffington Post) wrote, “’NOBODY CAN EXPLAIN IT!’ Really? They’re bugs! Set up two cameras side by side and triangulate the distance to the object. Clearly they consulted a man in the wrong profession. Get someone who has studied UFOs. Or an entomologist!”

You can compare the footage sent into KDVR and that captured by Skinner and judge for yourself. See them both below.

Here’s KDVR’s report based off the images sent into them from a tipster:

Here’s what Skinner was able to film:

  Sorry to disappoint all you George Noory disciples, but, those are FLIES. The reason they “appear” after noon is because this time of year that is when it is warm enough for them to be active.

  Couple of problems with the Fly theory. It fits just fine with the movement patterns in the videos shown in the news cast. However, the skinner video shows a pattern you will never see with insects. Straight line diagonal paths with stops and direction shifts in complete opposite directions in, again, a straight line. No insect does this. They shift up and down as the wind shifts.
  
  Also the perspective of the Skinner video gives enough to show the object is moving far away. I think it’s logical to assume the skinner video is showing a UFO of some type, as the movement pattern is more typical. The other videos are too wonky, and the movement has no pattern to it, just as I would expect from insects. Could be some of what is caught is also drones given their prevalence, however the drones we have now are not capable of the flight patterns in the skinner video, nor speed.
  
  LOL, oh the irony though of a man named Skinner capturing a possible UFO on camera.

  Set up two cameras 20’ apart and with the same distant focal point then see what you get! If there is anything on both videos you can get range, size and launch site.

  If it happens at the same time everyday why doesn’t someone go down into town close to where they think the thing is taken off and/or landing and get footage??? Doesn’t make sense to me. Sounds like a news station trying to boost their ratings.

Everyone is Colorado must be too high to find a logical explanation. Even the news anchors are too stoned to set up better camera footage and figure out what the flying object really is. I guess they figure these types of odd stories and coverage will pull in more ratings from the stoners.

I knew this report would generate a lot of laughter but I would suggest that everyone get off the political news sites occasionally and just check out the things that are going on in the rest of the world.

Earthquakes, volcanic activity, crop circles, earth sounds, sky sounds, ufo’s………the news is out there, you just need to look.

  Also, you were deafeningly silent concerning my marijuana assertion.

As for lumping natural and supernatural phenomena, that wasn’t Momrules’ point. We have big issues in our world that won’t be improved by ridicule.

  I would lean that way, too, if they weren’t [as it seems from the video] coming from the same area. UAV test vehicles would come from outside the city, I would think. I wonder if the truth will come out, or if this story will just fade into black and forgotten. Blaze people should take a crew out there.

  One must consider the speed a manuverability of what is being seen here. NO drones get even close to this ( that we are aware of).
  If this is an everyday occurance all that should be needed to get a clearer look is the best of cameras … questions answered.

As usual, there is nothing to help frame a reference to this object’s sky. It’s seen moving against the sky, with no measurable objects to determine its actual size. Without the size, you cannot determine its distance from the camera, and thus the speed it is moving.
What it looks like to me are bugs flying. The time of day seems to fit; the bugs come out when it warms up enough. If these UFOs appear a couple of times a week, it shouldn’t be difficult to set up a few different cameras, with different film speeds, to photograph and compare. This one is a meh as far as supporting the idea of UFO=alien spacecraft.

  Yes. Why doesn’t he? Seems to me, that would be the logical decision to make. In other words, this guy may be in on it. Though they are currently “UFO’s”, knowing where they usually come from should be the first clue to determining what they actually are.
