Viewed stealth craft in night sky

My son and I were viewing meteor showers the night of 8/13/23. At appx 11pm we both saw a craft moving north to south at a high speed. It flew along the east side of town. We estimated 1500 to 2500 ft high altitude. It appeared to be tracking another aircraft. We observed it moving over Springville, at which time visibility and detail of craft improved long enough to see that it was clearly a stealth craft of human origin, but flew silently and without visible propulsion. I was able to see it clearly for several seconds. It resembled the stealth bomber (B52?), however with a much larger fuselage and shorter wings. It had no visible signs or markings. It continued over Spanish Fork, where it suddenly made about 10 circular loops (maybe .25 to .5 mile diameter loops) at extremely high speed...we calculated that each loop lasted appx 1 to 1.5 seconds. After the 10th loop, it shot due south over the southern mountain ranges at an incomprehensible speed and disappeared. My 24 yr old son, a UVU college student, witnessed the event. Neither of us has ever seen unidentifiable objects in the sky, and have always been skeptical of such things. However, there is no doubt we saw a stealth craft, human origin, and of incredible speed and movement that defied traditional, known or disclosed technology. Proximity to Hill AFB just 70 miles north of our home is also a consideration as craft seemed to be military in nature.

Stationary object reflecting in sunlight as jet passed below it

UFO Report
Location: Springville NY 14141
Date: May 26, 2015
Time: 7:11PM
Event Description: At 7:11PM, on May 26th, 2015, I was on my back porch and notice a high flying jet leaving a contrail. The jet was approximately 10 degrees south west of my position and quite high.

The sun was bright and as I looked at the jet, I noticed a bright stationary object that appeared to be above the jet. It was unusual. I took out my iPhone and utilized the Siri function to inquire what commercial flights were overhead. The only flight that registered was a commercial flight at 40,000 feet.

I tried to photograph the object but it was too small for capture. I also tried to recall the flight data for documentation, but there was no recall capability. I watched the object for 4-5 minutes and ran into my home to get a better camera. When I came back out, the object was gone.

Object description: Object was too high to clearly describe with great clarity. It however had an appearance of even length and width. Based on the way the sunlight reflected off it, it presented itself as round, and spherical.

Shape: Flash
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Intermittent flashes of light in the sky grouped in three areas, moving generally southward.





Sitting in the hot tub at 10:25 pm Thursday night my wife and I notice a medium bright flash, about as bright as the brightest star out that night. My wife, a major UFO skeptic, saw a flash overhead and south of us, about 10 degrees from vertical overhead. I am a journalist and a trained skeptic, but a UFO buff. About 5 seconds later it flashed again, but this time to the left of where it had been. A few seconds later it flashed again, about 25 degrees south. There was no sound, and the flashes equaled the brightest star out at the time in the overhead sky. The Big Dipper was visible to our 11 o'clock if facing south. The flashes were brighter than it. Trying to determine what we were seeing, we ruled out what we knew: There is an air traffic lane from Denver coming over the mountain range to the east, on approach to salt lake airport. There is a life flight helicopter that makes frequent runs along the mountain range between spanish fork canyon and provo ho! spital. There are occasional helicopters flying north and south to the west, either private or military, going to or from either spanish fork or provo airports or salt lake international, or military helis going to Hill AFB or camp Williams. There is a park the next block south of us where Hobby planes are flown. And one night a brightly lit UAV was flown " dang, wasn't a UFO!", we have seen satellites and shooting stars from our back yard. It was none of those. Aircraft may appear promising at first, but after a minute you can see their nav lights flashing regularly and they generally move along air traffic lanes. Another flash caught our eye, at a 30 degree position, farther south. It flashed a little fainter, about as bright as the medium brightest star out, and flashed at random times 15-30 seconds apart, moving down to 50 degrees, left 15 degrees, left and up about 10 degrees, then right 20 degrees and down, then right again, flashing dimmer and dimmer, we ! assumed it must be moving south while flashing consistently br! ight. Th ere was a slight amount of light pollution from downtown and a shopping center and walmart due east about two miles. There was minimal cloud cover, almost completely clear with one or two thin wispy clouds. I was staring directly overhead when a clear bright flash occurred in front of or through a cloud. None of the flashes seemed to close, all seemed to be far away. one appeared IN a cloud, lighting up the surrounding vapor like a headlight in a fog for a brief second. The flash appeared again to the right of the first position, moving by about 10 degrees. I did not see it again. The flashes seemed to be moving in general directions south, but not directly. Appearing randomly in clustered areas as they generally moved southward. The brightest 2 flashes overhead did not appear to have a general direction of travel. In January this year There were UFO reports over Duschesne county in the northeastern part of the state near Vernal, near where the famous Hardware Ranch is locat! ed. Within days at least 3 cattle mutilations were also reported, although news reports and police reports were pretty general and bland. Like they didn't want to say much about it. Cattle mutilations and UFO sightings, usually within the same time frames, have been frequent in this part of the state for 40 years or more. So yeah, my wife and I saw 3 UFOs!

My family and neighbors were watching an orange light fly across the sky every time a firework would explode. This light would move from one area of sky to another in split seconds. We all watched this light together until it started to follow an airplane.

Family and friends were getting nervous and packed their chairs to go inside. I remained outside, captivated by the experience and my own curiosity. I remember feeling the desire to fly as fast as that light had zipped across the sky. I turned to go inside when I felt my hair stand on end. I looked up and the a dark black oval shaped craft was floating stationary just above the top of the trees and house.

The craft slowly started to move to the west. I appeared to be alone and the craft too dark to see on my phones camera. I ran to the back yard and jumped onto the cement wall at the back of the property seperating the yard from the city's cemetary. The craft still overhead and slowly moving.

The craft appeared to be approx distance from the house to cement wall, the distance of two planted trees from end to end or approx 15ft. It moved into the light shining on the American flag and again, remained stationary approximate height of the flag pole on an axis with the front end slightly higher than the back. The craft moved so slowly at this point, adjusting the nose a little higher and pointing to the south eastern sky. Its color was profoundly dark black. No windows. smooth surface. It was oval and no more than 10ft at its center tallest point. Tapered from end to end.

The craft paused, onced oriented and positioned pointed to the south eastern sky. The tree's bent slightly towards it. like a soft breeze but the feeling in the air changed. The craft moved slightly backwards then slingshot forwards at warping speeds. I felt slightly nauseated and adrenaline surged through my veins.

I remember the encounter and ponder it often at the risk of being called crazy.

Three (3) red circular lights in sky north of Springville, Utah

At home after returning from a family barbecue around 10:02 PM, and after we got the kids out the car, I looked up in the northern sky and saw three red lights that looked like red stars in a vertical row spaced almost evenly apart. They were high in the sky and were not moving. They were not attached to any visible structure. They were reddish in color and the same size as stars. Each of the three was the same size. It was an amazing and strange sight. It looked just like the “red lights” UFO sightings many have seen around the world and which there is video of on You Tube. I did not have my regular glasses and ran into get them. My wife and son remained outside and watched them. When I returned outside 2 minutes later as I could not locate my glasses, my wife and son said the lights just extinguished. They did not fly away, but disappeared suddenly. I was amazed that we had seen this sight and wished I would have had a video camera. This is the second strange light sighting I have seen in the sky in the past few years. I am sure there is an explanation, but in my mind I do not know what they could be. We then went inside and went to bed.

4 lights moving independently and in a speed and manner which could not be explained

My current wife and I had driven out to ky lake to a place called liars point to sit by the water and talk ( people go there to make out at night sometimes) and be alone prior to us even dating. As we sat on the hood of the car facing north east to east, we noticed 4 lights in the sky very far (many miles) away. They would go off and on. At times only 1 or 2 would show and they would move across the horizon at speeds and precision which no aircraft we have knowledge of could achieve. At times they would split into 4 separate entities. It was in the direction of Ft. Campbell and initially we thought it was something to do with the military as, they perform night jumps and things of that nature near paris landing. It was soon apparent that this wasn't the case. The objects were far behind the trees across the bay from us. If I had to scale how far and fast they moved, it would have to be hundreds if not thousands of yards of motion ( at minimum) in a matter of fractions of a second. Nothing a drone or satellites could achieve with such precision and out of formation in multiple directions. They appeared as lights, dots if you will, such as head lamp far, far off in the distance. But, they weren't headlights and they we're bigger/bolder than stars. It was almost as if they were communicating with one another via flashing and motion. They would move vertically and horizontal at phenomenal speeds very precisely. They didn't appear very high in the sky, maybe 1/2 an inch to 1 inch above the tree tops from our perspective. At some point they reduced from 4 to 2, then to only one remaining. They would converge and split apart again. My wife and I haven't spoken of this very much as, we can't explain it and even if we do speak of it, it's unbelievable and unexplainable and don't want the stigma of a "crazy person". I've only told my mother in detail about this year's later. We've made mention to friends about it but never go into a discussion on the matter. The only reason I'm reporting this now is due to the recent hearing in congress wanting transparency on upa's. This was near to and in the direction of Fort Campbell, KY. We watched these objects for over a half an hour. I'm not sure of the exact length of time but, it lasted a while maybe up to an hour. For 2 years after I would go out at night and sit on the patio and stare at the night sky looking for something similar. I never have seen anything like it again. They were not high enough in the sky to be reflecting the light of the sun.

two orange lights moving very fast and turning

I went outside to get a cell phone charger out of my car and looked up at the stars and observed a pair of dim orange/red lights moving very rapidly from east to west. As they went out of sight they seemed to turn from side to side.

Three red, blue, green flashing lights in triangular shape and one off to the side of it. Right below the little dipper a bit and the triangular shape was to the left. Very neat looking. We even got phone calls to go out and take a look.

3 bright yellowish white lights,side by side appeared around 6 AM, in the dense woods across the road from our house.

On 2-28-2007, around 5:30 - 6:00 Am, I was sitting at the kitchen table. I was looking out our picture window , which is located in the next room, but is visible from the chair I was sitting in. I like to watch the birds, and have bird feeders in a tree outside this room. The sun was coming up and was very bright that morning.

I noticed 3 very bright lights in the woods across the road from our house. The lights were very unusual. They formed a side ways, ½ circle shape. No unusual noise was heard. The lights did not move or change colors. Most of the trees across from our house are probably 20 to 40 foot tall. These lights were probably ½ way up the trees, in the dense woods. We have lived on this property for about 13 years, and I know there are no houses or anything in that direction.

My husband had gotten up and was getting ready for work. I called him to the window and asked him if he could see those lights. I asked him if it could be the sun reflecting off something, and what he thought they were. He replied it was something in the woods, but he didn’t have a clue what it could be.

I grabbed my digital camera and tried to take a picture, but could not get a good shot from where I was. He told me to give him the camera. He went outside and climbed up on a ledge beside the porch and took 2 pictures, then the camera went dead. We talked about the lights for a few minutes., and then he went back to getting ready for work.

I set the camera on the table, and started making breakfast. He ate and left for work. I guess about 20 minutes. had passed, by the time I finished cleaning off the table and washing dishes. I went back to the window and looked, but the lights were gone. So I went about my day.

Later that night I decided to download the pictures to see it they even turned out. What a SHOCK!! 2 pictures turned out, but in order to see what looks like a space craft, you have to enlarge the picture. I am having the picture blown up to a 8x10, to see if it will pick it up even better. I am not a computer expert or anything, so I am not sure how to make the picture any larger on my computer.

I swear I am nut a nut or anything. And I am thrilled that my husband saw it too and was able to get the pictures he was able to get, before the batteries went dead in my camera.

triangular and transparent flying craft seen saturday night

I saw it first. those 3 lights. They all moved in unison. if the front one slightly changed in direction so did all 3. kind of if all 3 were attached to a solid object, they always moved together and in the same direction and they never changed distance between the lights. This flying thing went west and then turned south-west. The craft was also transparent except for the 3 lights. when it moved you could see the stars as it passed under them. when the craft was south west of us, the thing turned slightly and you could faintly see the sides of it. but you could still see through the middle. then the rear left light turned red and then the craft disappeared. This thing was big . about 200 yards long on the sides and the rear was about 150 yards wide

Two very very bright lights were seen going across the sky one directly above the other. They were traveling north to south and one was directly above the other and they were not going in a straight line but were both moving independantly of each other but the top one always above the other. Too bright or fast to be a plane or a satelite and no sound what so ever.
