Unknown bright light / ufo seen over salt lake valley

Noticed a bright light very high in the sky starting above great salt lake moving east/southeast (correction from previous saying northeast) at a high rate of speed for as high as it was. I thought it was a plane or possibly the ISS until watching it I noticed slight abrupt changes in the direction it was heading. As it was approaching the east bench of the salt lake valley it seemed to gain altitude and disappear very unusually and quickly unlike and aircraft I've ever seen in the area. I t seemed to go from going straight east to straight up and disappearing

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

Large craft approached from the east over West Valley City, then turned north and flew out of sight.

Sitting in back yard facing east, looking toward the backside of our home. Our home is in the flight path for the Salt Lake International Airport. As I looked over the top of our house, I saw what at first I thought was a large jet, but it was approaching from the wrong direction (from the east). It appeared to have 3 large, bright white lights, and one red light on the top. None of the lights were blinking. At some point during this experience, I realized I was looking at an extremely large craft.

I called to my wife and asked her to bring me my camera while I continued to observe. It was coming closer, but was still quite high, obviously I don’t know the size of the craft, but I would guess it was at 8000 to 10,000 feet altitude.

My wife called out that she could not find the camera (I was preparing to go on a trip the next day and had put it in a bag) so I started toward the house. At that point I could tell the craft was slowing down. As I walked toward our deck I nearly lost my balance and felt like I was becoming quite dizzy. I grabbed onto the handrail of the deck and looked back up and the craft was continuing to slow, then it made an approximately 90 degree turn to a northly direction and began to increase its altitude and speed. A cloud started to form around it as it climbed. I watched until it was completely out of my sight.

Characteristics: Lights on object

Silent craft with 6 round lights, blue side lights hovering.

While driving southbound on 6400 West, between 4100 South and 4700 South, observed a light hovering to the southwest.

As i got closer, I could see 6 round lights facing downward and a row of blue small lights along the side. It was dark, and I couldn't determine a shape of the craft.

Possibly oval or triangle based on the lights.

It made no sound, and didn't seem to be moving.

Location: West Valley, UT, USA

Shape: Circle


Around 20 bright circular objects changing different directions and at variable velocities.

It was quite dark outside as I walked out of my house in Utah at 6:15 this morning. The moon was nearly, directly overhead and the air was very clear and crisp.

I looked up and noticed several "stars" moving at not only different speeds, but they were moving in different directions. I started to count the objects and decided to stop after about 10. Some would move faster than others, some would stop and start moving in another direction. These circular objects were very bright, and none of them gave off a blinking pattern that might be confused with an airplane. The circular shapes were very different than the actual stars observed in the night sky, in that they were slightly larger,and moving at variable speeds and directions.

UFO crosses aircraft landing pattern in Salt Lake City, August 2007

My brother-in-law and I were looking at his RV outside - he went inside for some item. He no sooner left than I spotted this perfectly spherical (with just a hint of wings, like the rings of Saturn) object. It was fuzzy looking like a tennis ball, medium dark grey in color. There were no lights of any kind, and no noise at all.

It came from the West, just passing over the Oquirrh Mountains, and headed straight east over the Wasatch Mountains. It travelled the 25-35 miles from the tops of one mountain range to the other in about 30 seconds, in a perfectly straight line, like it was on rails. It was about 1000 feet in the air by my best estimate. At that altitude it would probably be 50 to a hundred feet across. There were no contrails.

There was no wind and it did not behave like a balloon. The air was calm and warm, no storms around. It travelled at the same constant, fast speed. 30 miles in 30 seconds is a mile a second or 600 miles per hour. I watched it until it started to disappear behind trees, then I ran to the street out front and continued to watch it disappear over the Wasatch Mountains. I called the local newspaper the next day to see if anyone else had reported this UFO. No one had.

The significant thing was that it crossed perpendicular to the airlines landing pattern, which was very near to my location, and at the same general altitude, making it very dangerous to air traffic. To me that indicates something very strange.

I am a retired Marine Corps Officer, 69 years old, physically fit and have 20/20 and 20/10 eyesight, and a Masters of Business degree. This was my first UFO.

It was such a scary sight. I was sluffing my lunch period and I was over a few blocks from the school, and I was talking to my friends we heard a really weird noise and all of a sudden we looked up and saw square shaped object. It made a really trippy noise. We got scared and ran.

( May 31,03. Time 4:26 am ) I had the water on the back lawn and went out to shut it off. as I was on my way back into the house I seen a bright star like light in the sky east of Magna, about 3100 to 3500 so. and 7200 to 5600 west.

At first it caught my eye as a star or planet.

This Light was 4 times brighter then any star in the sky. more like a airplane landing light.

This lasted about 10 seconds. the light started dimming until it was gone. I raced into the house to grab the camcorder just before it went out, but I didn't get anything on tape. during the time I could see it the object did not move in the sky.





NUFORC Note:

We believe that the first possibility to be ruled out would be the landing light on a distant aircraft, but that is only a guess on our part. PD

Two at a time for 4 hours...

October 15th 16th and 17th looking towards the eastern sky at night around 11:00pm above the shyline you could see an object tha appeared to have three lights giving off glows, red, blue, yellow and white. There were two of these objects one just above the little dipper and one below the dippers "first star" handle. We at first thought that it was a helicopter but it never moved for sometime about an hour. Then it went up in altitude quiet far the across to the south then downwards towards the earth then south again. This event took around 4 to 5 hours to complete. For three nights now "We" have see these objects.

((NUFOC Note: We suspect twinkling stars. PD))

the scariest thing i have ever seen.

On The night of my birthday June 9th my friends were over and we were having a fire in honer of my birthday. we were talking for a while and then i decided to rest my eyes and watch the sun set so i was turning my head and then i paused and i saw two very little lights that were close together and the only way to tell that it was two lights is you had to have good eyesight. I quickly told my friends and we stared at it while it was going back and forth in a way a plane could NOT move plus the weirder thing is it was right over the demonstration project. then about fifteen minutes later after we started staring at it the light moved towards us at a very fast vilocity and then it just totally disapeared then the next morning i went to my friends house and in his field his dog was dead it torn apart we walked a little further then we saw marks in his field very strange marks. so then i told my parents and they cracked up and said a coyote must of gotten the dog and what we saw could of been a weather baloon. but they could not explain the marks in the field.
