It sounds like even aliens from other planets are enthralled by the beauty of Red Rocks Amphitheatre!

At least twelve employees at the Morrison, Colorado concert venue reported seeing some sort of unidentified flying object on June 11th.

A “large, disc-shaped craft with three levels of windows” was spotted by one of the employees “north of Red Rocks about a mile or so, hovering above the treetops on the Hogback’s ridge,” according to a report posted by the National UFO Reporting Center.

The employee who submitted the report estimated the sighting lasted about thirty seconds before the vehicle moved 5-to-10 mph east and then “disappeared into thin air.”

“There was no mistaking what this was: We all saw a giant disc-shaped craft hovering a few hundred feet above the ground with three rows of windows and lights. Then we all saw it fade into nothing as soon as it knew it was being watched.”
