A Nevada witness at Denio reported watching and videotaping two objects that could not immediately be identified, according to testimony in Case 75146 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness arrived at a campground in northwest Nevada shortly after dark September 24, 2015, on a clear night and set up a campsite, sitting by the fire about 20 minutes before the incident began.

“Something flashed out the corner of my eye and made me turn my head looking to the west,” the witness stated.“I could kind of see an outline of some hills/mountains to the west as I looked to where the flashes drew my attention. Two bright yellow arcs appeared over the top of the hill/mountain.”

The witness first thought the light was two objects.

“At first I thought it was two objects. I think now it was just one moving so fast it left a trail. It made two arcs flying above the hill/mountain then diving down then back up I guess. It was a bright yellow object,no flames/jets. The object itself was glowing yellow,strangest yellow, kind of like a spark shooting up out of a fire. The spark is burning and leaving a trail as it shoots up. I had never seen anything like this.”

The witness then went to his truck and retrieved his phone to videotape the event.

“I grabbed my chair and was moving it away from the fire to try and sit and get some video if it flew out from behind the hills/mountains. I wanted to be ready to catch it on video. As I was moving the chair and keeping an eye to the sky, I saw a bright orange sphere. It was also to my west,more to the south of the first object. I held up the phone to get video of the orange sphere and may have gotten a second or two of it on video before it disappeared. But as soon as it disappeared a strange white streak appeared and was gone in a second. I couldn’t tell if the white streak was the orange sphere moving incredibly fast or if it was something else.”

The first object then appeared again.

“But as the white streak faded, the first object came out from behind the hill/mountain heading south kind of towards where the orange sphere was. The bright yellow object did not leave a trail this time. It was solid yellow from what I could see with my eyes. It appeared to skip,but after looking at the video a thousand times, it was actually zig zagging,but from my point of view it headed south past where the orange object was and then appeared to flash many times and fade from sight.”

The witness learned more from watching the video.

“On video you can see an object flying into or out of the bright yellow object,but it’s moving so fast I can’t tell which way it’s going, I’m only able to catch it on one frame. After watching the video, I was able to see that after it went south past where the orange sphere was, then it actually went west away from me fading out of sight. I kept the video going a few minutes after everything was out of sight in case something else appeared. After all of them were out of sight my knees actually buckled and I finally started to breathe again. I sat with my phone in hand in the chair watching the sky for maybe an hour before trying to sleep.”

The video was not included in the original MUFON report, which was filed on March 12, 2016. Nine screen shots from the video were included with the report.

  1. I saw the same thing in Berryville VA back in 2003. It was when I was going to my car to get sodas out of the trunk. The time was at 10:30pm when it came up to me when I was trying to open the trunk of my car. I could not see the key hole to open it and then there was this dim light that appeared as I was now able to see thinking it was the moon light in my mind reaching for the drinks. The light kept getting bright and brighter that I thought a truck was behind me and jump away from my car. I looked behind me when I got up and there was nothing so I looked up and there it was. This is the exact same thing I had seen back then. It had no sound or smell of any exhaust. I was really huge I lost control of my body and could not move for over a few minutes. I started to get my senses back and watch it go into a worm hole. I could see the back but not the front as it was disappearing right in front of my eyes. It is impossible for something that big to just disappear like that. I know that was a UFO. This hole cover up is just to keep the sheep from panicking and keeping us dumb. I have witnessed may of these different UFOs and very few are lucky to see them.

  2. This looks more like a UAP than the ‘New York’ video. Big give away for the previous video were the anti-collision lights seen below and on the rear. To my knowledge UAP’s don’t require anti-collision lights.

    Above, these sorts of images are probably the most clarity we are going to get with conventional technology, unfortunately for whatever reason our cameras can’t seem get a clear pic. But then again, perhaps this is the point…

    What I do like about these pics are the cabin windows that can been seen on the mid section of the craft. For there to be cabin windows one would assume there would need to be ‘occupants’.

  3. Did anyone see a silver disc like object on the edge of red rock canyon ? If your driving west on warm springs, towards Durango, Apache etc. it hangs out there a lot, don’t know if its commercial , or there’s a landing strip up there or what , but it looks eerie , its very apparent when you are looking up at the mountains. but if your driving and never look up once in a while it might not stand out to you.

  4. It’s me Rana again! Wow it’s been well over 5 years since my last comment here above. My ex-girlfriend finally got to see what I was talking about the night I stepped outside of her house to get the sodas from the trunk of my 1991 Honda Accord. I posted this link and photos of everything I witnessed and wrote about it long ago on my Facebook. So awesome for her to actually reply this on my Facebook. Haven’t spoke to her in many years she has three beautiful. And so as I with my wife we also have three children too.
    I will always be grateful in our time we had together back in the days 😀😎 even though it was short but sooooooo fulfilling.
