A recent investigation by an unidentified aerial phenomena research center based in Washington State has concluded that objects in the sky seen by three witnesses in southwestern Idaho were likely two planets.

Until just this week, I didn't know that southern Idaho had its own community that shares the same name as a famous alleged 1947 UFO crash site southeast of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Roswell, Idaho, is an actual place, and approximately 40 miles east of the unincorporated community, three witnesses reported what they believed was a shape-changing, multi-colored UFO in the sky near an apartment building on Friday, June 5.

Roswell, Idaho, might not be as famous as Roswell, New Mexico, which is located nearly 1,200 miles southeast of the Gem State map point, but the two sites do get their share of UFO sightings annually. Roswell, Idaho, is just south of Parma, and this region of the state is one of the top spots for yearly unexplained aerial sightings statewide.

Less than a week ago, three witnesses at an apartment complex watched as two massive bright objects could be seen in the sky. They reported the objects as capable of changing shape and color, and causing a disturbance among area animals.

'Most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen. Started to get an ominous feeling like it was aware of me, so I went inside,' commented one of the witnesses in the published report from the National UFO Reporting Center in Washington State.

The incident report (198315) also includes an 18-second video that shows the two objects in the sky.
