UFO sightings are nothing new, but they're especially enchanting when they appear in our own backyard.

Some of the most recent UFO sightings in Northern Colorado sound like they can be drones, others are probably airplanes, but others are a complete mystery - could they be aliens?

Below are the most recent sightings reported to the National UFO Reporting Center by witnesses.

    Frightening encounter with pulsing lights in Lafayette

    The sky was pitch black but when looking towards the South/West I saw an object(s) with numerous lights. One of the lights was pulsing a purplish white type color and it was almost blinding and the light was vastly bigger than all the other lights near it or around it. It was placed in front of a smaller light that was blinking and it had a blue hue to it. Then to the right of those two lights was a light that was white and yellow and stayed on continuously along with another light to the right of it that was pulsing a light red and white light that would pulse in some type of code type thing... Then directly to the left and a little below all of those lights and next to the pulsing purplish light was a bright yellow light that was much smaller then (sic) the rest of the lights. They were all basically bunched together and doing the pulsing, blinking, etc, simultaneously.. Then it began to rise up and move towards me .. There was absolutely no sound... I've seen many a craft before but, nothing like this... it was a God awful vibe I never want to witness again so I'm not sure how long it lasted because I ran inside after 10 minutes...

    Suspicious red light flies over Loveland pasture

    My husband called me and told me that there were lights over the mountains towards the west and I looked and saw quite a few, like 5, but my husband said that there were 15 They slowly went out one by one.

    After 5 minutes went by, one single red light was already past our house and near my mother's house! She lives east of us I was in her pasture and it was like a stop light flying right at me!! My husband has video footage of the event but won't share it with me. The light I saw was so bright and it didn't make a sound. It flew left, then right, and then proceed (sic) to fly toward me and then slowly went out. I tried to get video of it, but my phone couldn't catch it.

    Green, big-headed creeps in Greeley?

    I cannot believe I'm doing this but - what I saw I can certainly not say it was an airplane or anything reasonable.

    Yesterday was really foggy in Colorado. On my way back from Boulder, I saw at least 3 blocks from my house 3 red lights up in the sky but in a shape that would add up to the shape of a UFO. I laughed at myself for thinking that but as I watched it it was going VERY fast for an "airplane." I thought it was a jet but the red spaced out lights made it look much bigger than that. It was higher up in the sky and was traveling about (my guess) 6 or 7 times faster than an airplane. The solid red lights started to blink rapidly and then the "object" literally went so fast to the right my eyes couldn't keep up with it. It just "BOOM" flew to the right and was GONE.

    I tried to search for some reasonable explanation for what this thing was. It wasn't an airplane or jet so the only other thing I could think of was some sort of military craft like those really huge "silent bombers" but where I saw this "UFO" is not anywhere near a military base. And I gotta tell you (with my experience living right next to a marine base) this did not move as fast as one of- what I saw. So, to kind of wrap it up here, I do believe now that what I saw wasn't something that should have been seen, and I'm going to have a really hard time trying to unsee it. But to make something clear, I think that there are other planets out there - more - beyond our imagination, so maybe this thing that I saw is just an airplane to some normal people like us. Hopefully not some green big headed creeps...

    Drunk UFO in Fort Collins?

    Dark red object flies fast in weird directions over night sky.

    My fiance saw something red in the distance and called me to come look, and we saw a dark red toned object flying through the sky. There were no lights on it but it did seem to reflect red.

    At first it seemed like a satellite but then it started swerving its direction back and forth. Within a minute, it had flown out of our sight, way too fast to follow, and disappeared into the night sky.
