Strange lights reported in the sky

Something weird is going on.

Strange lights floating around in the night sky have been reported in Larimer and Weld counties Monday and Tuesday nights, according to Clifford Clift, the Greeley representative with the Mutual UFO Network.

Clift said Wednesday he was notified of four lights in a boomerang formation in sky over Loveland Monday night; at abut 8 p.m. Tuesday, a caller who did not leave a name or address reported strange lights in the area of Weld County Road 17 and U.S. 34 . The light reportedly appeared out of no where, then disappeared rapidly, Clift said.

Clift said he was returning to Greeley from Fort Collins at about the same time the lights were being reported Tuesday night, but he did not see anything.

Margie Martinez, spokesman with the Weld County Sheriff's Office, confirmed that Weld dispatch received the call, but said the caller refused to leave a name or address.

Clift said the calls are not new.

"In the past six months there has been a lot of activity reported over Fort Collins," with six or seven reports of strange lights in the sky, he said, which would be in line with those reported over Loveland earlier this week. The reports, he added, coincide with reports from other parts of the country.

"It's almost as if they, whatever they might be, want to be seen," Clift said. He said the UFO group has been in contact with the Federal Aviation Administration to see if air traffic controllers have reported any strange activity, but he said he was not confident the group would get a response.

Meanwhile, Eloise Campanella, spokeswoman for the Larimer County Sheriff's Office said Larimer dispatch has not received any of the reports of strange lights.

Clift said people wishing to report any strange sighting are encouraged to contact him at (970) 302-9118.
