A report from a concerned citizen that a fleet of UFOs were landing south of Gillette turned out to be much ado about nothing.

According to Campbell County Undersheriff Scott Matheny, a deputy was in the Red Hills subdivision when the called came in just before midnight on Saturday.  That deputy traveled south on Highway 50 near Bell Road to investigate the claim that extraterrestrial creatures were invading Gillette.

After failing to find any unearthly activity, Matheny says the deputy went to the home of the 49-year old man who reported seeing UFOs.  Once there, the man pointed to some lights on the horizon that he claims belonged to UFOs.

The deputy, however, was quickly able to identify the objects as homes in the new Red Hills subdivision.

“He told us it had been a long time since he’s been awake at night and he never noticed these lights before.”
