It’s been more than 70 years since the alleged UFO sighting at Roswell. Seven decades have gone by and people are still looking to the skies in hopes of spotting alien life. Well, this story might keep those hopes alive. Frightened citizens have been reporting to local officials that they’ve been spotting groups of drones flying across Colorado and Nebraska over the past few weeks. The sightings usually occur between 7 and 10 p.m. Officials told the Denver Post that most reports claim the drones fly in groups of six to 10 and hover a couple of hundred feet in the air. The reports have been confirmed by local and federal authorities. RELATED: What you need to know about the FAA’s plan to track most drones in the U.S. But here’s the thing, no one seems to know where the drones are coming from and nobody has come forward to claim responsibility.
