Source reportedObserved

Witness 4 observed an object with a faint red light hovering between two mountain ridges.

At approx. 400 meters away I saw an object that was slightly darker than the sky at dusk and lighter than the color of the terrain. There was a faint red light on the object which was static and hovering in between two mountain ridges.

Source reportedObserved

Witness 4 saw a yellow light move quickly from North to South.

Some months thereafter at around midnight I saw a yellow light appear at my eyeline; I was about 2k above ground. This light did not move and was below the ridgeline of a hillside. There are buildings on that hill, so I wasn’t sure if it was manmade or not until I saw the light get brighter and quickly move North to South.
