The Encounter
The experiencer worked a graveyard shift at a mining operation. One night, while driving, they saw an orange light rise from behind the Shelborn mountain range. They reported this sighting to others, who also saw lights. Over the course of a few hours, the experiencer observed three lights: two orange and one red. The red light appeared to have sparks and resembled a rocket. The lights accelerated quickly, much faster than normal aircraft. The experiencer had never seen anything like this before. After the encounter, they felt it was important to share their experience, as many others witnessed the same lights.
