Civilian Ground

Report CIV-2025-742

A municipal police sergeant and three coworkers observed a distant luminous object to the west/southwest that displayed rapidly changing multicolor lights and variable altitude over ~90 minutes. The object later appeared to react when a helicopter transited between the observers and its position, moving rapidly to the north and climbing to high altitude. A similar object was seen by the same witness two nights earlier.
