Appearance / Description of Object(s)

round, orb-like, bright white-yellowish light

Size of Object(s)

Relative size 1.5 - 2.0 across I really can't say it's actual size - but if I were to compare it to a small plane I would say it was the same size as a small plane flying at a high altitude (for a small plane)

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

altitude - not sure.......maybe 8-10,000 feet

Description of Area / Surroundings

rural setting in BLM land near a VERY small town so no city lights anywhere. No special features that I know about. Then landscape was rugged rocks and canyons - much like Utah (this was Colorado) with a fast running river (not sure of the river's name) http://www.tumbleweed-camping-shooting.com/Gateway-Colorado.html

Full Description & Details

When we noticed the moving round light in the sky at first we thought it was a star but it was still quite light outside in the summer evening - maybe around 8:00 pm. Since it was moving, albeit slowly, we realized it was not a star. There was absolutely no sound associated with this object. It was difficult to judge the distance, I would say it was at the altitude of a low flying small plane. There were not other lights like a plane or helicopter might have. It was moving in a west to eastwardly direction. The shape was round, and the color was a bright white with yellowish tint - very bright like a headlight. It seemed to be moving very slowly but kept moving toward the east. We watched it until we could no longer see it.

No other events occured that evening that we are aware of.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

I don't think so - I have never seen a weather balloon. Satellites look much smaller and move faster than this did. What we saw was much much closer than a satellite.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

yes, we both believe in UFOs - recently have been reading a lot I remember a UFO incident as a very young child - though I have never been regressed, and only remember a few details. I have always believed in UFOs
