It was a cold crisp Saturday night in Janaury of 1997. I was listening to my police
scanner while riding around on my mountain bike (I ride at night even during the cold!). The Colorado Springs police dispatcher
called the police helicopter about any explosions seen in the sky.
Then the fire department gets
a call that something landed on a house. The CSFD crew investigating at the site was told by the dispatcher, "To do nothing
till officials arrive from Peterson Air Force Base." Nothing was ever heard of what landed on the roof.
Then
I heard one fire crew talk to another fire crew about activity over at the U.S. Air Force Academy. I just happened to be north
of the base. I saw orange flares up in the sky. I got on to the base, and in the distance I saw military personnel searching
for something in a field and along railroad tracks that run through the base.

I left the area.
A couple days later, people from Black Forest which is located
a couple miles east of the U.S. Air Force Academy, reported that Saturday night, three military helicopters were flying around
with no navigation lights on. A couple ran into a roadblock and was told to turn around. They saw men dressed in protective
suits and a odor of rotten sulfur.
What really fell? The news media said a meteorite fell, I don't
buy it! Anyone may check the archives from the Colorado Springs newspaper on Sunday Jan. 19 or 20 of 1997.
