Aliens Spotted In Colorado Springs, Cops Acting Strange

Hey, what's up GLP? Me and my friend just got back from alien hunting. It's pretty late but we have something strange we need to share. Last night, we were driving back from a party at around 2 am and my friend spotted some tall non-human entity several times. It ran into a ditch and we followed it in there. He took a video of it and claims to have seen it in the tunnel but it was too dark to make it out on the camera. From what he described it sounded like a grey but maybe a reptilian. From what I saw (using binoculars and a flashlight) it looked like a tall dark figure crouching under a bridge in the ditch. We were too scared to go back in.

So the next day (tonight), we went back there with more people in hope of finding it. We didn't see it so I drove us to a forest area to look for it there.
The same friend claims to have seen it again but all that showed up on the camera were orbs which is debatable if they were legit or just interference from the flashlight. We went to the middle of the forest and got really bad electric like vibes and ran back to the car.

As I was looking through the pictures, a cop pulled up. He wanted all of our IDs even though we were just parked on the side of the road in an area they wouldn't usually think twice about. I told him that we were just looking for my dog. I asked if he could help us look for it and he said that he would look over the edge of the forest and shine his flashlight but he wouldn't go in. This was strange because the cops in Colorado are usually very friendly and would gladly help a few teenagers find their dog. It was also strange that he called for backup right when we asked him if he could walk into the forest with us. He told us that since 2 of us were under 18 I would need to drop them off now since it's past curfew. It was strange that a conservative cop like him wouldn't let us continue to search for my dog (there was no way he could tell I was lying btw). And he only let one of my friends go out with him to 'find the dog'.

The backup car came quickly so now there was a total of four officers. I don't get why they needed so many for a simple dog finding mission especially when they didn't even look for it! One of the officers went to the edge of the forest with my friend and the other two said they would "make sure it's safe from back here." They barely moved from outside the cop car! As the officers got closer to the forest, they put their hands on their guns or their tasers. They looked scared. But keep in mind that this is a very small suburbian forest in a rich neighborhood. The most dangerous thing there would be a raccoon, maybe. While waiting in the car, one of my friends said that there has been around 17 alien sighting this past month in Colorado, Texas, and Alaska. She thinks that the cops know of some alien sighting reports in the area so that's why there were too scared to even go into the forest. We all knew that something just didn't add up:

1. We saw aliens in a nearby area the night before.
2. Colorado cops wouldn't usually care if one car was parked on the side of the road, even at 1 am.
3. Why did the cop need backup just to walk several feet to the edge of the forest and shine his light for like 3 minutes?
4.How did the backup car come so fast in an area seldom patrolled?
5. Why did the officer force me to wait in the car when we were free to go, I'm at least 18 years old, and it was MY dog?
6. Why did all the cops, except for one, refuse to walk even to the edge of the forest and why did all of the cops put their hands on the grip of their guns?
7. Why did they spend such a short time looking for the dog? We had the dog story planned ahead in time just in case. They bought it. But then why were they so reluctant to help even a little? That's what backup is for right?
8. One of the cops said that we should just leave and he would tell the men that are already inside the forest to keep their eyes peeled for a white dog. But there wasn't anyone inside the forest at that time. Was he implying that later like around 4 am or so, cops would be inside patrolling the forest? This is a local area so if there were any criminals on the loose everyone would be talking about it. But they weren't. What the hell would they be patrolling for?

Keep in mind that there was no visible danger to them. There's no harmful wild animals and the dog they were going to help us look for was a harmless Maltese. None of us have criminal records and nothing about us looked suspicious or threatening. Something was scaring those cops, and it wasn't us teenagers.

What do you think? Could the recent alien sightings (including the ones we saw just yesterday) have any correlation to the cops' awkwardness and fear. Could they know something we don't?
