"As close as I could tell, the object was 40 | | to 50 miles away, which would have put it over Buena Vista, Colorado | | or west of it. In the video it appears that a plasma field or | | something was surrounding the object and two barbell-shaped objects | | are with it and staionary in conjunction with it." The video did not | | show the intense white cigar in it, but rather a red and tan colored | | envelope. The object graduatlly diminished and disappeared before | | their eyes.  (Sources: George A.
