BROOMFIELD, Colo. (CBS4) - CBS4 received some calls and emails from viewers who thought they saw a spaceship in Broomfield Tuesday morning. It turns out they were right.

Copter4 flew over the Dream Chaser orbital spacecraft. It's a prototype built by the Sierra Nevada Corporation, which has an office in Louisville.
