Case 113663: Susanne, Mark and Tyler [last name withheld] were on a family vacation in Divide, Colorado. Suzanne claims to have seen a “dark object reflecting off the Moon.” Divide is in the vicinity of Colorado Springs, approximately 60 miles south of Denver. Colorado Springs is the location of the US Air Force and US Space Force Academy. Petersen Air Force Base is also located nearby and adjacent to the Colorado Springs Municipal Airport. Colorado Springs is home to the North American Aerospace Command (NORAD) and the Space Force’s 21st Space Wing.
While taking pictures, Suzanne zoomed in on the dark object which appeared to be a small triangle-shaped object silhouetted by the Moon. She indicated in the CMS report that the Moon was at 90° above the horizon, that it glowed and left a trail or cloud. Her initial photo is shown below. The duration of the observation was one hour. The object has a definite triangle or arrowhead shape.
