Silent Red Blue Green Lights Over Colorado

LLE-UAP-PR004, Unresolved UAP Report, Colorado, October 2023

A 1 minute 42 second cellphone video of silent red, blue, and green flashing lights over Colorado in October 2023, submitted to AARO by a local law enforcement officer in January 2024 and released as an unresolved case.

Brief

File LLE-UAP-PR004 is a 1 minute 42 second clip captured on the rear-facing camera of a commercially available cellular device and submitted to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in January 2024 by a local law enforcement officer. The officer described the phenomenon as "silent" and as featuring "red, blue, and green flashing lights." AARO blurred the bottom half of the first 2 seconds to protect the privacy or other protected interest of a U.S. person or commercial entity, and its only analytic comment is that cellphone autofocus and automated image processing "may distort the apparent morphological and kinematic characteristics of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification." The release labels the case unresolved and offers no identification of the light source.

Key points

The footage runs 1 minute 42 seconds (102 seconds) and was recorded on the rear-facing camera of a commercially available cellular device.
The incident is dated October 2023 in Colorado; the report reached AARO in January 2024, about three months later.
The witness is a local law enforcement officer. The release does not state the officer's rank, department, or the town or county where the video was shot.
The officer's description, as rendered by AARO, is limited to two attributes: the phenomenon was "silent" and showed "red, blue, and green flashing lights."
AARO digitally altered the first 2 seconds of the clip by blurring the bottom half to protect the privacy or other protected interest of a U.S. person or commercial entity.
AARO's shot-by-shot description covers five segments: the camera holds the light source near center frame from 00:00 to 01:37, an approaching vehicle changes the phone's autofocus and image-processing filters at 00:36-01:04 and again at 01:28-01:37, and the camera pans down at 01:38-01:42.
AARO's comment does not identify the light source. It cautions that autofocus and other automated image-processing functions on this class of phone may distort the apparent shape and motion of distant subjects, particularly at high magnification.
The file title carries the label "Unresolved," and the release text assigns no explanation.

Most interesting

AARO's timeline describes the camera's behavior, not the object's: the only events logged are two passing vehicles that reset the phone's autofocus and a final pan down.
The privacy blur covers 2 seconds of a 102-second clip, and only the bottom half of the frame.
The release gives no altitude, distance, bearing, duration of the sighting, or number of witnesses; the officer's account is reduced to "silent" and "red, blue, and green flashing lights."
The AARO comment about autofocus at high magnification is a general caution about the camera, framed as a possibility ("may distort"), not as a finding about this object.
The file was released on September 18, 2026, nearly three years after the October 2023 sighting.
