12 witnesses spot UFO soaring above Red Rocks Amphitheater hours after concert: ‘No mistaking what this was’

A dozen employees at the Red Rocks Amphitheater watched a massive UFO light up the Colorado sky this month, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.

The workers were cleaning up around 1 a.m. June 5 — not long after country music star Ian Munsick took the stage — when they spotted a dark metallic disk appear.

“One of our coworkers suddenly said to us, ‘Hey, what is that over there? It looks like a spaceship,'” the anonymous tipster wrote in their report.

“We all turned to look in the direction he was pointing and sure enough, there was a UFO hovering about a half a mile to a mile north of red rocks,” the poster continued.

“A dozen of us saw it. We all kept asking each other, ‘Are you seeing this too?’ It was a resounding ‘yes’ from everyone in the group.”

The UFO hovered above the treetops near the Golden venue for about 30 seconds before it “disappeared into thin air,” according to the witness.

The craft was disc-shaped with three levels of windows resembling a three-storied office building, the poster wrote.

The entire UFO spanned several hundred feet and was illuminated by lights.

Even more eerie, the unidentified flying object was totally silent.

“What’s even crazier is that as soon as we all started noticing it and stopped what we were doing to pay attention to it, the craft tipped at an angle and slowly started moving belly-first to the east. Then it started fading away until it was invisible. It didn’t shoot off into the distance. It simply dissolved into the ether. We all watched it vanish,” the post states.

The reason for the sudden departure?

“We all saw it fade into nothing as soon as it knew it was being watched,” the witness speculated.

The UFO believer emphatically denied that they and their 11 colleagues might have mistaken the object for a satellite or a drone.

And it sure wasn’t Munsick hitting the road for his next tour stop.

“There was no mistaking what this was.”

There have been 3320 UFO sightings reported in Colorado this year, earning it a 12th spot ranking for states with the most reports, according to the National UFO Reporting Center.
