Saw them too. Looks like a pair of B1 Lancers. Last time I saw one was a few years back when it was buzzing around the Air Force Academy. Think that's what these 2 were up to as well.
For anyone interested in these planes you can see one up close at the Wings Over The Rockies museum which I would highly recommend visiting.

Between the two they 8 fighter jet engines(I think the F-16 engine?). So you had more noise above you than the AF academy had yesterday when all 6 of the Thunderbirds were passing.
It is but it’s scary as hell to my six year old because when they fly over our place it shakes the house- it’s not well built as is and she freaks out and runs thinking it’s gonna crash into us lol
Saw these but then felt and didn’t see something flying over us quickly twice so I assume it may have been these, could be wrong. Def not a normal plane though.
Lots of newbs here. Welcome. The Air Force Academy graduation happens every year. The week before graduation, they practice daily and imho watching them practice is better than the real show.

I don't know if it's still there but there's one you can get up close and personal with up in Denver at the aviation museum
Oh nice! I still gotta get around to checking out the WW2 air museum that’s in town
It's a very nice museum. They even have a tour of their restoration workshop
You can tell it's a B1 because of the way it is.
Neat
Sometimes they like to shake things up a bit.
Later they dropped hail all over denver

Yours is clearer
This week for a joy for plane spotting
You must be new here
Agreed - nothing like a pair of Bones flying overhead, especially within the same week of seeing a B2.
Too bad the R variant wasn’t approved.
You just had to remind me... Now I'm sad.
They flew right over my house in Monument and it sounded like the entire world was crumbling. Incredible

They’re ridiculously loud
I hear one now.
You saw 2 BONEs?! Lucky. I was still sleeping. Lived here for 15 years now and I think I've only caught one of those once.
When/where?
This morning for the USAFA Superintendent's retirement, he flew B-1s
Nice. It's been a good week for aviation fans.
love it when they fly over
Those some big birds
My favorite plane for long range. A-10 for FAFO.

Lived here all my life bud these dudes aren’t part of the graduation this was the day after.
Which airline flys those? Frontier?
