| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting in our guest house, with the lights out at approximately 8:30 PM. I saw it through a long window, it appeared at the top of the window and went all the way down. It was all the way across the San Luis Valley, maybe above the Hooper area, toward the San Juan Mountains. Then tonight while sitting in the hot tub after midnight, we saw 3 aircrafts flying in straight formation, very close together, blinking lights red and white. A few minutes later another three, a few minutes later 2, and then 1. Looked to be flying over Alamosa maybe. Perhaps, it was a military training exercise, or not. Wow, that green shooting thing was big and amazing! |
