Residents in Colorado have claimed to have seen “UFOs” for the past month or so.
The alleged UFOs have been popping up around Hooper, located in Southern Colorado, and locals say they don’t know what they are.
Judy Messoline, who runs the UFO Watchtower in Hooper, said that people come to the area to see the alleged UFOs.
“They’ve had documented UFO sightings in this area since the 1700s,” Messoline told 9 News.
Photos were published by 9 News, showing the bright, white lights in the sky. “It’s been a strange, round, white light. It’s been seen since Sept. 13 between Antonito and DaVita and all the way to Crestone. No one can figure out what it is,” Messoline added.
She said the light appears for several minutes before going to the western part of the sky and then stop before going back east.
However, users on the site said the images are merely of weather balloons, which are commonly mistaken for “UFOs” around the world.
“Weather balloon. Mylar skin, reflecting off sun. Same shape and all.. no reason to panic peeps,” one person wrote in the comments section.
Said another, “Nothing to see hear people its just a weather balloon! ;)”
But as one person noted, “Weather balloons dont dart around the sky. They dont illuminate at night. They did not have weather balloons in the 1700’s and military aircraft dont chase weather balloons.”
