A Colorado officer watched a ball of light in the sky in January 2024. He reported that it was stationary, then said it was moving toward him.
The account appears in a transcript of a video filmed by an officer. What first seemed to be a fixed point of light became, in his description, something approaching. But the transcript doesn’t say what happened next.
The Ball of Light Wasn’t Moving
At the start of the transcript, the officer says he is watching a ball of light in the sky. He estimates it is about 90 meters above the ground. He then says he checked radar, a system used to detect aircraft, and found no aircraft in the area.
A short time later, he adds that the light has been stationary for about 15 minutes. That is his description at the time; the transcript provides no measurements of the light’s movement or altitude.
Then It Moved Closer
Later, the officer says the light is moving toward him and that he can see it. These are the last words in the transcript about the ball. A police radio exchange unrelated to the incident follows, and then the transcript ends.
The document is a transcript of a video filmed by an officer, but the audio has been removed. The stated reason is to protect privacy and information protected for a person or commercial entity. Some parts of the transcript were also redacted to protect the reporting person’s identity and sensitive police information. The officer’s words are available to read, but the recording itself cannot be heard.
What We Still Don’t Know
It’s unclear what the light was, whether it actually moved toward the officer, or what happened afterward. The source offers no conventional explanation and makes clear that the account reflects the officer’s impression at the time, not proof of the light’s properties.
The transcript stops just as the light moves closer. The officer says he can see it, then there’s no more mention of the ball.
