Internet reacts to viral clip of alleged UFO sighting near Red Rocks

By Spencer McKee | Out There Colorado A video of an unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) that was captured above Colorado has been going viral in recent days, amassing more than 175,000 views on the UAP Files Podcast Instagram page, alone. The clip captures a collection of glowing lights that appear to be floating in the night sky above Colorado. According to the video's source, who wished to remain anonymous, the lights were located above the foothills between Red Rocks Amphitheatre and a Lockheed Martin facility. While the specific Lockheed Martin facility wasn't specified, it appears as if the spot being referenced may be a facility in the Deer Creek area of Littleton based on the source's description, which is south of Red Rocks.

By Spencer McKee | Out There Colorado The reward being offered by a "consortium of conservation groups" for information about a wolf poaching incident in Colorado has doubled to $100,000, as of January 7.

Wolf collar pings south of I-70 once again, as seen in updated tracking map from CPW

By Spencer McKee | Out There Colorado Another month has passed and another map tracking wolf movement around the state has been released by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. The most recent map covers the date range of Nov. 26 through Dec. 22 and keep in mind, the map depicts watershed areas where tracking collars placed on the wolves have been during that timeframe. It doesn't mean wolves are present in that entire area and it doesn't mean they're still present in those watersheds now. In general, the new mapping doesn't seem to capture hugely noteworthy movements compared to mapping from last month. READ THE FULL STORY AT OUT THERE COLORADO
