-Caveat Lector- ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 17:05:41 -7 From: Christopher O'Brien <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Researcher/Investigators Subject: Interesting fall spike <color><param>0100,0100,0100</param>After months of no reported unusual activity, the past week or so find us pondering the following--listed in reverse timeline by day: <italic>Italics </italic> are suspected military activities, <bold>Bold </bold>are unknowns. Today-<bold><italic><FontFamily><param>Arial Narrow</param>Mon November 15, 1999 at 4:15 PM, Sangre de Cristo Mtns, Saguache, Chaffee Counties (O'Brien)</italic></bold> I observe the same (or similar) silent, wingless white plane as reported 11-14-99 headed north-to-south up the Northern San Luis Valley. Plane appeared to be @ around 17,000 feet; directly above the Sangres. Before and after sighting of this plane, commercial traffic higher up and further away were plainly heard; this craft was completely silent. Under 50X power binoculars, I was unable to discern any wings, but the vertical stabilizer fin was apparent--even with unaided vision. The tail appeared to extend further up the topside of the fuselage toward the front of the craft than a normal Boeing or AirBus commercial jet. Craft headed at normal speed directly north-by-northwest up the Rio Grande Valley Rift Fault--toward Leadville. <bold><italic>Sun November 14, 1999, 6:15 PM to 6:45 PM between Howard and Penrose, CO, Fremont & Teller County (O'Brien) </italic></bold>The same "bright pulsating light" apparently was back (see previous day's report). Mary Osmond called and informed me "the light was back," but appeared to be further east and lower in the sky. It was only visible from her Bonanza location for several minutes and I was unable to see the light which was appraently blocked by the Sangre de Cristos. Mary's husband, Keith, (who was 20 miles north at the County Bounty restaurant in Salida, CO, on Highway 50); along w/ 3 additional witnesses, were able to observe the bright pulsating light for around twenty minutes before it was joined by a second smaller blinking white light. The second light accompanied the larger light slowly north toward "Denver." The Osmonds called later to relate Roger's Salida corroboration. Sat November 13, 1999, around 3:00PM Del Norte, CO, Rio Grande County (O'Brien) Keith C. called to ask if "anything unusual has been going on?" He nonchalantly mentioned watching a " . . . table rise 2' off the living room floor for several seconds . . ." He also mentioned seeing "strange shadows going across the wall." <italic>[the witness seemed sincere and I have no reason to disbelieve this report in light of the day's activities--tmv] <bold>SAME DAY 3:00 PM </italic></bold>A large silent unmarked white plane was reported "gliding" south-to-north up the Northern San Luis Valley. "There was something weird about it, I should have heard something." the witness remarked. " . . . It was really low--maybe 3 thousand feet above the valley floor and I couldn't see any wings, just the vertical tail . . ." <bold><italic>3:15 PM </italic></bold>I was returning from Colorado Springs on Highway 285, near Johnson's Village when I too, observed an usual-looking silent white craft that did not appear to have wings. It was headed north by northwest, up the upper Arkansas River Valley headed toward Antero Reservoir in South Park. I estimated its altitude at 2500- 3000 feet. I was intrigued enough to pull over and get out of the car to observe it w/ binoculars. I thought it was strange and was greeted by the additional report on my answering machine as I arrived home at 4:30. [Was it the same craft as earlier and later sightings?--tmv] <bold><italic>SAME NIGHT 6:15 PM-7:30PM Over Salida/Howard Area, Chaffee and Fremont Counties (O'Brien) </italic></bold>Bonanza, CO residents Mary and Roger Osmond reported watching a very bright pulsating light hovering just south of Salida, CO. They described it as being like a "brilliant strobe light, pulsing red, white and blue." The Osmonds contacted a neighbor who also observed the object(s). Mary estimated the large light's size as 2 to 3X as bright as Venus. They also observed the light "going up and down," when it was joined by "three smaller blinking white lights that almost looked like satellites" appeared to " . . . mill around the larger light" before they accompanied the larger light slowly off to the NE at around 7:15. The smaller lights "seemed to be further away" [to the east] than the larger light. <italic>Sun November 7, 1999 10:40 AM to 10:55 AM San Luis Valley (O'Brien) </italic>Eight large 4 engine jets flew over the SLV west-to-east @ about 20,000 feet. Four planes appeared to break formation just east of Blanca Pk and appeared to head NE. Remaining 4 jets continued directly east. [I have never seen, nor had a report of an eight, 4-engine jet formation overflying the San Luis Valley--tmv] <italic>Sat October 30, 1999 4:15 PM, Between Moffat and Saguache CO Rd X </italic>Two witnesses observe 3 cargo planes flying south-to-north over the center of the Valley toward Crestone Pk. Formation turned northeast and flew above the mountains the wrong way up the MTR toward Salida. One plane broke formation and dipped behind the Sangres; reappeared and resumed formation. Then 2 planes did a counter-clockwise loop around Hayden Pass. Planes headed north then appeared to curve toward the east around Poncha Pass. [this is a highly unusual flight pattern in the Northern San Luis Valley--tmv] <bold>Fri October 13, 1999, 1:00-1:30 AM, Sangre de Cristo Mountains/Great Sand Dunes National Monument, Saguache, Alamosa Counties, (O'Brien)</bold> Two separate reports of a loud, nauseatingly-low hum, or vibration. A group of campers at the Great Sand Dunes Nat Monument Campground reported "hum" and observed signs "vibrating from the sound." Next morning an un-marked white van and a white sedan w/ government plates were seen. Sixth witness in the Baca Grande called me at 1:15 and reported hearing the strange sound. I was unable to hear anything unequivocal. <FontFamily><param>Arial</param>Figured I'd say "hello" and pass along the first regional reports I've received since last spring. chris<FontFamily><param>Arial Narrow</param> <nofill> Christopher O'Brien CAUS/Skywatch [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.amigo.net/tmv Author of The Mysterious Valley (1996) and Enter The Valley (1999 (St. Martin's Paperbacks) ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
