I was sitting inside the rv watching the stars from my bed, than this orange balls appears I go to the front wake up my friend I filmin

I was lying in bed inside my RV, looking out the window at the stars. We were parked deep in Valley of the Gods, completely off-grid—no surrounding lights, no towns nearby, just wide open sky. Suddenly, I noticed a large, glowing orange orb slowly gliding across the sky. It had a clear round shape and seemed to spin as it moved, emitting a strange radiance unlike anything I’ve seen before.

Startled, I jumped up and ran to the front of the RV to wake my friend. We both stepped outside, and I began filming the object. The sky was perfectly clear—no clouds, no planes. As we watched, the orb continued spinning and drifting, until it vanished abruptly into the open blue sky without a trace.

Later, when I reviewed the footage, I slowed it down and zoomed in. What I captured is even more bizarre: the object appears to rotate through multiple colors, and in one frame, a distinct green hue appears with what looks like a capital “P” inside it. The effect is visible only in slow motion, as if something was encoded or imprinted during its rotation.

What appeared like bubbles popping caught my attention. I realized there was something white that was visible, then invisible. I couldn't determine the shape well with the naked eye, as the reflection was bright, but I could clearly see it cloak/uncloak with the naked eye. Other than the shape of the object, the videos are exactly as it was seen in person.

I was alone in my back yard, and I practice meditation daily. I'd just wrapped up an evening session and went out to play with my dogs. I'm a 32 year old white female.

Angle of Elevation: 68
Characteristics: Possible abduction, Missing Time

I was woken up somehow but felt glued to my bed and witnessed 2 maybe 3 little beings behind not even a foot tall at the base of my bed

These tiny beings after I've looked up things today would be called greys but they were smaller than anything I've read about today. I will never forget the picture. It was anywhere from 5 to 30 secs. I noticed them and it's was all a blur but they were right by the electrical outlets. I know it sounds nuts but this is without a doubt something that happened and it was not a dream! I've been researching all day about it and what I could do. I hope someone can help me with this or tell me what it was. I couldn't move from my nese while watching this. Then either 1 of them or more went right out my basement window as if it wasn't there. I don't know what else to report. I would love to talk to someone about this. It's was as if I interrupted something when I woke up. I know they weren't planning on me getting up. I can't say getting up because I couldn't move. As a matter of fact, I couldn't really moved for a while after it happened. I just laid there in my bed contemplating what has happened then I dosed off after a while. I don't do drugs, I don't even drink. Im a very religious person of the LDS faith and this would be nuts if I brought it up to anyone in my church so that is why I'm reaching out to find someone who can explain this. I have more details I'd like some explanation of.

Disc moving

As I was driving down the road, just passing Vernal Middle School, something extraordinary caught my eye. It all happened in an instant—a gray disc, unlike anything I had ever seen, zipped right over the school. The speed was astonishing; it was faster than any plane or helicopter, giving me only a brief glimpse of its presence. My heart raced as I tried to wrap my mind around what I just witnessed.

The object had a smooth, metallic surface, reflecting the sunlight in a way that made it almost shimmer. I couldn't shake off the feeling that it was not something created by humans. It didn’t resemble any aircraft I was familiar with, and the sheer velocity left me in awe.

I glanced around to see if anyone else had spotted it, but the street seemed quiet and mundane, completely oblivious to the extraordinary phenomenon I had just encountered. For a moment, I considered pulling over to gather my thoughts and process what I had seen, but curiosity urged me on.

This encounter lingered in my mind long after I left the area.

I've seen this before but the other seemed to spark. Before I started recording it stayed in the same place.

It stayed in the same place for a while before I used the video. When I went back out about 30 minutes later there was nothing in the sky. I watched it for a while thinking it may be a plane or satellite but when it only moved vertically suddenly, that's when I turned on the video. The orb changed color constantly, it seems.

I just woke up! And I usually see outside my windows when I wake up and I saw this triangular prism shaped craft above the trees

On Friday, February 7, 2025, at 6:23 PM, I woke up and, as part of my routine, looked outside my window. The view from my place is beautiful, and I often look up at the sky. Over the past few days, I had noticed a bright white orb at a distance, resembling a star. However, the following day, it had disappeared.

Tonight, when I woke up, I heard an unusual sound that caught my attention. As I looked up, I saw a triangular-shaped prism-like spacecraft moving towards the left side of my house, which I estimate was heading in the direction of a Starbucks nearby.

This unidentified flying object (UFO) appeared to have a city-like structure inside it, as I could see glittering lights resembling a downtown skyline at night. The entire sighting lasted approximately 4.5 seconds before the craft disappeared.

I attempted to take a photo or video but could not react quickly enough to capture any footage.

---

Additional Information

Shape & Appearance: Triangular prism-shaped, illuminated with lights that looked like a city at night.

Movement: Moved steadily to the left before disappearing.

Sound: A distinct sound that alerted me before I saw it.

Past Sightings: A few days earlier, I had observed a bright white orb that vanished the next day.

Family Connection: My father also had an extraordinary UFO experience as a teenager, something beyond human imagination.

---

Conclusion & Concerns

I am reporting this sighting to assist in any ongoing investigations related to unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) and to ensure public safety. Given the unusual nature of this sighting and the presence of what seemed like a city-like structure inside the craft, I believe this warrants further attention.

I hope this report contributes to understanding unexplained aerial activity and helps protect the public.

Saw yellow 3 orbs fly over my house in Ogden Utah.

I was laying in my recliner watching the Oilers play the Minnesota Wild. Then I heard a louder than normal aircraft. I have lived in this area now for almost 4 years and this wasn’t a normal fly over. I went out and appeared to see 3 yellow orbs flying right towards my house. I grabbed my iPhone and recorded the video on my regular camera from the balcony (6seconds) until it was over the roof. Then I ran down stairs and recorded what I could outside using my Snapchat camera. I then saved the video. That video is 24 seconds. I know I live near an Air Force base so I put it into AI. Which told me “ Based on the image, those lights do not appear to be a plane. Planes typically have blinking lights in different colors (red, green, white) and often have a specific pattern. The lights in the image are steady and not arranged in a typical aircraft configuration. They could be stars, planets, or possibly drones or satellites. If you want more precise identification, let me know if you'd like me to search for more information or generate an image for comparison.”. I jumped to the conclusion that all 3 were drones. After digging in thinking maybe they were Blackhawks. But in person I thought drones immediately. It was only after watching the video and talking with friends I sent the video to that I came to that conclusion.

Went out back to smoke, saw strange Orb heading my way.

Like it said, I went out back to smoke and saw an orange orb heading my way. There was a helo in the area but much farther north. I pulled out my iPhone 15 pro (for camera specs) to get a better look and took a short video. Then I ran to my shed to grab a spotting scope I use to take pics of the moon to confirm it did not have a tail boom. Then before I could tell anyone it was gone. I took a few long exposures and a few videos. (My microphone is broken and it always sounds windy. My phone is a literally useless as a phone) It flew my direction from the west heading west-southwest seemingly turning more south and by the time it was heading south it disappeared. I looked down to start another video and it was gone. I went to a higher location to confirm there was nothing visible in the southern skies at that moment.

Exactly like the ones I saw east coast, last week!!

I live on the east coast and am in salt lake for Christmas. I saw the Unidentified ‘drones’ and this looked the exact same. Two parallel lines flashing above and below each other in a line; then it changed into a single line. The lights were far enough apart at first to look like seperate objects then either the second turned its lights off; or it merged; flipped over maybe; I’m not sure. The video is at the end of it in the skyline. I also zoom in on a plane for comparison.

I was looking out my window which faces south and I saw an orb moving to the west a little in front of and above the Stampin Up building, which was across a large filed from my house. It was about 50 feet up in the air. It moved to the west and then the light suddenly turned off. About 2 minutes later two more orbs appeared to the east of the building, suddenly "turning on" and flying parallel to each other, one above the other. They also moved to the west for about 5 seconds and then also turned off. A second later 4 more appeared, drifting by in a vertical but staggered formation, following the same pattern as the others.

The orbs came in 3 waves of one, then two, then four. They all turned off and completely disappeared as they moved to the west. They all appeared out of nowhere.

Drone like craft flew really close to the ground over me. It had a bright light on the front and red/green lights on the back. No sound

While standing and watching strange lights over the Willard Bay are over the Great Salt Lake I saw this drone like craft fly over me. I was on the phone talking to my partner about the lights I was seeing flickering into and out of the sky over the lake. There were about a 12 or more of them. (See video of one of those lights). Then when I turned around their was a really bright light to the north of me. It was about as high off the ground as the top of the street lamp maybe a bit higher. It very slowly moved towards me and slightly vertically up the side of the mountain as it passed me. It had a bright white light on the front and as it moved past me the underside/ back had about 4 red and green lights. Not a plane. Way to close to the ground. It didn't make any noise as it passed by me. It looked somewhat mechanical, similar to a large drone. It was about the size of a sadan. I got in my car and followed it south down I15 until about Ogden at which point I lost sight of it while driving.

Large ball of light sighted to the east, less than 200 feet away, flying away from me at incredible speed, and hid behind a building.

I was walking on the sidewalk on my way home from a convenient store when this happened. The entire encounter lasted maybe 2 seconds. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a very large, singular concentrated bright ball of light overhead that was white in the center and light blue around the edges. The object was maybe 200 feet in the air. However, the light did not appear to illuminate the environment around it. The object emitted no sound. I sensed that this object knew that I had seen it because it immediately tried to get out of Dodge as soon I had made direct eye contact with it. It flew in a downward and away direction towards the east/ northeast at incredible speed, disappearing behind a nearby building. I started to head in the general direction of where the object may have gone but I saw no indication that the object was still around. The encounter happened so fast that I did not even have time to film it. No trail or exhaust or anything like that.

In car, saw a star in daylight. It moved with no contrail and disappeared.

I was driving to work, in daylight. I saw a star in the sky and was suprised that it was out, as it was daytime. It then moved sideways for about four seconds and then zipped off toward the horizon with no light or smoke following it. There was one shape, a bright dot of light like a star, and it moved smoothly and quickly.

Saw two stars and one quickly shot off headed East

I got up at 4:40 AM to use the bathroom. I looked out the window and saw two bright stars above Spanish Fork Peak (aka Maple Mountain) then one of them appeared to quickly yet smoothly fade away in an Eastward direction. The other star remained stagnant, which I believe was just that - a star.

Two metallic spheres seen hovering above highway

I was driving alone and saw what I thought were round silver balloons but as I drove closer they did not move or bob like balloons. They got bigger the closer I drove towards them and were hovering stationary. One was closer to the highway about 40 feet above and the other was about 50 feet up just east of the highway. I did not stop to get a closer look as I was late for a family event. They were about the size of red target ball they have in front of their stores.

Spotted a sphere cruising through the cloud opening. Them a second smaller one appeared out of the cloud above the first sphere.

Standing in a Taylorsville backyard facing east. Casually scanning across the sky when I noticed a white looking sphere that came out from a cloud and was heading in a southern direction. I announced to others with me and they were unable to pinpoint what I was seeing. At that time a smaller sphere came out of a cloud above the first sphere. They then aligned to what seemed like a level pattern. At that time they were in the sun light and seemed to appear to be metallic and were heading in a south eastern direction. They then disappeared from my view.

Video proof is available and over the course of 16 days I have got them on video. I would like someone to investigate them to see what they are. I see more than 30 within this time frame. Circles in the sky rising.

I watched 4 lights going over my head, no sound. Watching until they turned and left

HeadIng to work at 2 am i saw an orange light just below the moon. I pulled into a parking lot to watch it, then i saw another right in back of it. They were moving very slowly and stopped every once on a while. They were orange in color and almost looked as if they were sparkling. Like the tip of a sparkler without the sparks shooting out. It seemed to me that they were no higher than 5 or 6 thousand feet up. I am a huge airplane fan and i know they were not airplanes. I have flightradar24.com on my phone and it showed no aircraft anywhere in my area. They would fly just under the moon and then take a sharp turn and head west until they blinked off and diaappeared. I saw a total of 4 of them flying over me. I know they were not any type of airplane or helicopter. Zero sound! They didn’t change shape just glowed as if burning.

3 lights move slowly in formation, tumbling with one visible craft in orbit of the brightest light in formation.

My children woke me saying they were seeing something weird in the sky. My wife accompanied me as the four of us observed three starlike lights twinkling in a triangular formation. The brightest light exhibited a more green color to it, and the other two lights were light blue. The brightest light looked like it had a smaller object orbiting it, and it would change the light’s shape and color a bit as it passed around it, as if the smaller object was obscuring the light a bit as it passed in front of the light.

The brightest light would almost look like it was getting a belly as the object passed around. I snapped some photos with a legit camera before it became too far away to video. After iPhone video and SLR photos, taking about 5 minutes, we watched the lights tumble toward Provo Canyon for what seemed like another 10 minutes or so after filming. I have 3 minutes of video I’ll hold for an interview.

I was like "what the fuck how did this happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I thought it might be some kind of drone or aircraft, but it was completely silent and moved with incredibly smooth, fluid motions. The disk seemed to have multicolored lights flashing around its edges, and it appeared to be much larger than any drone I've ever seen. I watched in fricken awe for several minutes before it suddenly shot off into the night sky at an unbelievable speed. The whole experience was truly surreal, and I can't shake the feeling that what I saw was unlike anything I've ever fricken witnessed before.

Fast streaking light

I was walking my dogs with my wife and I looked up to see an impossibly fast moving silver light streak across the sky. Light moved horizontally flying north to south. After about a second it faded and disappeared. I immediately asked my wife "Did you see that?" but she was looking at the dogs when it happened.

I took a few moments to run through every possible explanation I could think of but I can't think of anything that would make sense.

I couldn't gauge size or distance against the solid background of the sky.

A series of "camera flashes" in the vicinity of Cassiopeia

My boyfriend and I decided to go on a late-night walk, taking advantage of the Perseids peaking on Saturday (every cool astronomical event seems to be either ruined by clouds or falls on weeknights). We left his place around 1 a.m. and headed to a park a few streets away. After a brief stroll, we reached Heritage Park, where I immediately spotted the perfect hill to watch the show. Unfortunately, it was soaked from recently running sprinklers, so we ended up trekking up a dark path to an old, unused artificial waterfall. This is where we finally settled, lying back to find a good stretch of sky, free from those horrid streetlights, thank God.

For context, I've had a history of strange sightings during my teens and early twenties, after spending countless nights under the stars. One of these experiences mirrored what we witnessed on the 10th.

Around 3:00 to 3:05 a.m., give or take a few minutes, I asked him if he remembered me telling him about the 'blinkers' I had observed 10 or maybe even 13 years ago during my late-night stargazing back in my home state. He confirmed, so I explained how they 'moved' around in one area with random intervals between flashes, but never actually 'went' anywhere. Using Cassiopeia as a reference, I pointed out the three upper stars and a few surrounding ones to illustrate what I was talking about. I’m still not sure if it's one object or many. They seem to just pop up, flash, then reappear elsewhere, flashing again, until they eventually stop returning.

Seconds after I finished, a bright flash appeared just to the right of the triangle formed by three stars pointing towards Andromeda, almost as if someone were saying, 'Here I am!' Stellarium identifies the central star as Schedar. After that first flash, another appeared below, then another even lower, followed by one above, then to the right, to the left, and so on. The flashes continued in this erratic pattern, eventually moving in a singular direction towards the lowermost star in Andromeda, Almach, dimming as they went until they disappeared completely.

The timing has both of us seriously spooked. I genuinely don’t know what to make of it. Even now, I want to dismiss the old sighting as possibly just some flashing geostationary or geosynchronous satellites reflecting the sun’s light with a little flicker, but the recurrence and its timing are just too suspicious for my liking…

Location: Tooele, UT, USA

Color: Red and white lights
Estimated Size: I’m guessing the size of a 737
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: West
Angle of Elevation: 4
Closest Distance: 15 miles
Estimated Speed: Very fast
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

Object in the sky with red and white lights moving from my right to left. Object moved very quickly horizontally, and vertically.

I was out in my backyard checking on my sprinklers and began looking at the stars. I noticed what I at first thought was a star twinkling, but then I noticed that it was moving, so I thought aircraft. The defining feature was that it wasn’t getting closer, but moving very quickly horizontally, and up and down vertically. The object was at least 15 miles away, but I was still able to see that instead of red and green like aircraft wing lights, these lights were red and white, and appeared to move around the aircraft (I assume that moved around the object because of the distance) from my right to left. It had to have been pretty large because of the how well I could see the lights, but yet it was obvious about 15 miles distant because at times it was obscured by wispy clouds. I observed the object moving very quickly left to right, right to left, also up and down. But it never left a very small space, like it was “observing” something. It may have been over l-80 in the Tooele valley west of Salt Lake City.

I watched it for about 15 minutes until it just simply disappeared.

The object hovered in the sky. I grabbed binocs. I watched it intently; an artist, I studied details. I moved 50'. It vanished

The object did not move. I thought it might be a very high drone, or something catching the last rays of the sunset. But the undercarriage, as viewed from my spot on Earth, was a ring of astonishingly bright lights. There was a same-
powered light in the center of the disc. The material between the outer ring of lights and the center 'single' light appeared gold or ochre. There may have been a slight channel interrupting the solid ring of light at opposite sides. As an artist I made a watercolor sketch of what I saw. That the UAP was there, bright, perfectly still, then disappeared from view not five minutes later when I had relocated on the other side of a tree to get better support for my neck, is shocking.

I have never seen a UAP/UFO before. There is a major space innovation program at Utah State University 15 miles away; I conjectured this might be a small satellite from that institution. Can we confirm it is or isn't?

Black Rectangle suspended inside a translucent sphere

Saw a glint in the sky and realized it was not a plane. Used a spotting scope to view the object and recorded video using a phone mounted to the scope

The object was high in the sky traveling in a south-east direction. Very slow rate of speed. Originally considered it a science balloon, but no payload was suspended.

The object had a dark colored rectangular shaped object suspended inside of a translucent sphere. There were connection lines from the rectangular object to the sphere similar to a wheel spoke. The Translucent sphere contained structure that changed from a white to an orange at different time intervals. The orange color may have been a reflection from the setting sun but highlighted the sphere structure.

Observed the object until dusk. A white light was emitting from the object after dark, but was too difficult to capture an image in the scope and hard to see with the naked eye.

Characteristics: Left a trail

Was stargazing and doing astrophotography. Had just put my camera on my backpack (exposuretime: 30, f/2.8, ISO 5000, 16 mm) when id.

Visiting Zion National Park for the first time and together with my family we would like to stargaze while taking astrophotos. I was standing on this location 37.207452, -112.980417 and looking South towards the mountain tops named "The watchman" and "Johnson Mountain". The picture is unsharp cause I occidental touched the dial while placing the camera on my backpack.

I Didn't bring my tripod why I used my backpack as a stabilizing object. Had just trickered the camera and looked up to see the stars and the horisont - the same direction as the camera and suddently saw this bright light and the cone (as in the picture). There were no sound, other lightsources etc. and as suddently as it started it just vanished and my guess is that it vanished behind the mountain.

The only other lightsource I could ID is the cabin window on the same picture in the lower part but this didn't influence the photo or the following pictures (same intencity and source).

The camera has no errors and I also have before and after pictures without this unidentified object. Likewise I do have a picture from the same location and here I can see a shooting star.

The size of the unidentified object is large and as the picture shows, it has a beginning very close to the mountain. The unidentified object was not seen or observed subsequently.

I'm sure that this is not a shooting star, meteor, rocket, airplane, drone or anything that I've seen before.

I had clear visual identification of the object and there were no other light sources or similar in the area that could possibly create a lens flare or otherwise affect my camera. The picture I took was more of a coincidence, but which shows exactly what I saw. I have uploaded 2 images - one where I have changed the colors (not manipulated) via Adobe Lightroom and one without editing. Both pictures contain my signature, which has been inserted afterwards. The camera I used to take the photo is a Canon EOS 5D mark IV with an EF16-35mm f/2.8L III USM lens.

It stoped (hovered) for a full min or more (using the roofline of our house as reference).Then it appeared to lower altitude, faster than a helicopter (using our roof line as reference). Stopped, then it moved to the north fairly quick, then moved east as I tried to video. It then elevates as it Flys east and we loose sight. From first sight it was about 5-10 min until we lost sight of it.

My friend who was with me, was just as shocked, as she also said she heard and saw nothing in the sky. Our focus was straight ahead at the building so we really feel we should have seen or heard something. Whatever this was moved in and out of the area very quickly.

8 orbs appeared and reappeared, zipping through the clouds and rain, above Utah lake, and VERY near Provo Airport.

I was on my way back to work after lunch, and spotted what I thought to be fireworks over the lake. I noticed sparkling lights going in and out of cloud cover, sometimes illuminating the clouds. They became a bit nearer and clearer as I rested my phone on the steering wheel and began to film. They seemed more round looking now, orb like. They were flying in formation, appearing and reappearing in formation, as many as 8 at a time. I pulled off the road near work in hopes of filming safely, but did not see them over the lake again. In the evening, I’ll often see headlights of cars driving down the side of the mountain from a lookout point a few miles away. Using this comparison, I rationalize the orbs were the average size of an automobile , but I’m sure an expert could scale the video with how much background and foreground information was captured.

Bright white light with a blue orb moved low and slowly across sky before disappearing into blue dust.

There was a white orb, about the size of what would be a planet in the sky, moving seemingly low and slowly across the sky. It had a blue hazy orb around it. It was a perfectly clear night, but you couldn’t see clearly this this blue orb. It moved across the sky until it disappeared into a fine blue dust and dissipated.

I took a few pics of a funnel cloud that was just south of my location in Francis, UT. One pic showed an object

I was watching a funnel cloud develop yesterday (5/9/24) at 2:27 PM yesterday. It was located just south of my location in Francis, Utah. I had never seen a funnel cloud here in Northern Utah before, so I took a few pics with my phone. When I was reviewing the pics, I discovered a very strange object that appeared to me to be located inside the funnel. The other pics I took didn't reveal this strange object. The lighter (internal) part of the funnel cloud terminated at the object. The funnel cloud also had a very long tail and lasted approximately 10 minutes. The funnel cloud then disappeared a few minutes later, but returned about five minutes later.

Aircraft was traveling west over salt lake valley

I live under an air traffic pathway and planes ONLY fly north & south out of SLC. Whatever I saw was flying west and going way too fast to be an airplane. It only lasted a few seconds, but it had a light green streak behind it. It was also relatively low- definitely not a shooting star.

Location details: So in the direction I saw this object was towards Dugway Proving Grounds Utah

Shape: Unknown

Estimated Size: It looked sort of large that I could see it.
Viewed From: Land
Direction from Viewer: North bound
Angle of Elevation: 49
Closest Distance: 5-10 miles maybe
Estimated Speed: Thousands mph?
Characteristics: Lights on object

Flashing light behaving erratically moving extremely fast

At first I saw a helicopter what I thought was one in the distance flashing a light that was out of sync with the pattern of flashing a light on an aircraft. It would flash then 1-5 seconds later it would flash again. Then it started behaving strange with erratic motions so I grabbed my phone right away and started to record but it moved so quickly behind the trees in the far distance. Then when I thought it left, another one appeared at a higher altitude did the same thing with movement and took off. So I cropped the video to only show the portion that it was present. 30 seconds.

So the size of it seemed large, where I could see it from 5-10 miles away. Once it started moving the flashing stopped and the light was solid the entire time when it moved.

Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object, Aircraft nearby

A bright light appeared over the horizon, came toward us, and then disappeared overhead. It then reappeared across the valley.

A bright light, about the brightness of the moon at full moon started to rise above the crest of the hill next to our air bnb. At first we thought it was just a plane but then we noticed it was surrounded by a haze like almost a cloud. That night though there was not a cloud in the sky, so it was odd to see a cloud just over that one particular aircraft. Then as the light approached my wife and I were expecting to see what it was but then the light began to wiggle and ascend into the sky. Quickly the light vanished in the sky. Not more than a minute later on the other side of the valley, a bright aura appeared again just like before but this time no light. Then the aura disappeared yet again. The whole encounter lasted 3 minutes about and my Wife and I were just left speechless as we had heard of people talking about UAPs before and just thought they were crazy.

Had my camera with me when I spotted this object moving back and forth in the sky changing colors as well

At around 10:20 PM GMT I saw this green ball of light come into view from behind my neighbors house, it was moving back and forth in the sky and stood stationary at times. Not very fast much slower than the planes I usually see departing or landing at the airport. I then noticed the ball shifting from green to red to this white and golden color started picking up a little speed and went over Mount Timpanogos disappearing behind the horizon of the mountains.it was fairly close to the mountain as well went right above and past the peak of the mountain. Checked the provo airport flight list only one plane left at that time and it was going to Los Angeles so it went south west of me and wouldn't be visible. One plane landed but it was at 10:17 pm so a couple minutes before my sighting.

Outside at about 3 or 4 AM, notice flying object in sky. Barely visible, only illuminated by the moonlight.

At around 3 in the morning, my smart lock started beeping for low battery so I got up to turn it off. Couldn't figure out how, went to the other side(outside) to mess with it and noticed something flying in the air. I could barely see it, it had no lights or sound but the moon was enough to illuminate it. The object was flying fast, and also perfectly straight on a heading for the first few seconds. After watching it for a few more seconds, it starting moving around erratically and changing directions real fast. The movement almost reminded me of a Lazer dot, how it was moving around so fast with instant direction changes. I went to go get my phone and then it was gone. The shape this object had was exactly identical to another UFO my neighbors and I saw in the same exact spot, earlier in the summer. We were having a BBQ when a neighbor pointed it out. I was able to successfully capture a photo of this one(attached below). The thing was hovering in place perfectly still for a few minutes. Maybe 1000ft up, perfect tic tac shape. Went to get some brisket and then it was finally gone when I looked up one last time.

Viewed a small red circle moving behind a cloud, when it emerged into clear skies it turned white before disappearing.

Noticed a red circle moving behind a cloud, small but not just a point of a light source, but a circle. No flashing and did not appear to be a plane or drone or helicopter, all of which are common to see over Moab. When it emerged from the cloud it turned white. Then it disappeared in clear skies and did not reappear. It was a bigger light source than your average aircraft moving at the pace and elevation it was at, maintained small circle shape.

several crafts with same shape but different colour in different angle and distance, and come and go in about a hour.

Date: January 4, 2024
Time: 7-8 pm
Location: Devils Garden Campground, Arches National Park

Description:
On the specified date and time, while camping at Devils Garden Campground, I had set up my camera in time interval shooting mode while my husband and I were engaged in various camping activities such as cooking, starting a campfire, and having dinner. To our surprise, several unidentified lights, all with the same shape but varying colors, were captured on camera. These objects were discovered upon reviewing the photographs at home.

The objects seemed to come and go, appearing at different angles and distances over the course of about an hour. It's noteworthy that no similar objects were captured after that time period during the night shooting on my camera. The camping experience was generally uneventful, with normal weather conditions—clear sky, no wind—and a temperature of approximately -5 degrees Celsius. It's important to mention that there were several other campers present in the campsite.

Notably, these lights are not attributed to any anomalies with the camera lens, ruling out the possibility of artifacts caused by the camera itself. No unusual sightings or feelings were reported during the camping activities.

Please see the attached pictures for reference.

NUFORC Note:

Lens flares, caused by photographing bright lights at night.

A recent trip to the beautiful Lake Powell, Utah turned out to be the most profound experience of my 61 years on this earth. Fortunately, my experience was also witnessed by my two younger guests making my story very credible. If I hadn’t someone else to back this story, I would truly be questioning my sanity as it was so profound it would be hard to convince others of this unworldly experience. It’s still hard to convince myself of what we witnessed.

I want to point this out right now. I’m not one to embellish this—I don’t have to! I will gladly undergo any investigation. I’m absolutely willing to be hooked up to a lie-detector, given truth serum or whatever. My testament here is an absolute bond to anyone, man or God. What I tell you here is the absolute truth with no fantastical additions. I have two other friends that would stand as witness as I do.

Throughout this ordeal and that evening, the three of us would check on what each other was seeing to verify that we were indeed seeing the same thing. We were often looking in different directions but would frequently verify what the other was seeing.

We arrived at the Bullfrog Marina of Lake Powell on September 12, 2023. We planned to camp and rent a boat for the next 4 days for an exciting and relaxing time at one of the more beautiful places on earth. After searching for the perfect campsite, we found a great site that we would call home for the next few days. Little did we know what we were about to experience!

I’m an avid stargazer and this area of Lake Powell is one of the better dark-sky areas as there is very little light pollution. I purposely chose these dates due to the new moon on September 14th. The skies are at their viewing prime if star watching is your goal. The Milky Way stands out brilliantly and you can see the incredible dimension and complex intricacies of this celestial mass. It’s easy to spend hours just looking at this marvel.

We camped in an area called Stanton Creek which is a primitive camp area at Lake Powell that allows easy access to the water and a good place to moor the boat safely. It has its own bay with camping allowed on either side.

The first night was a typical night and we spent our time enjoying our campfire, a good meal, and spirited discussion for the evening. It was cloudy that night, so of course we didn’t spend much time viewing the skies.

The next evening, however, would prove to be radically different. Early in the evening, the skies allowed us a clear, beautiful view of the stars. As the evening progressed, clouds began arriving obscuring our once fabulous view. Since our eyes were no longer locked on the stars, we began noticing curiosities around us. Across the bay, something caught our eye that would keep us captivated for the next four plus hours and curiously haunt us for the rest of our lives.

What we initially thought had to be a drone was quickly dismissed as we observed this thing moving in a way that ruled it out as a drone. My young friend is a licensed drone pilot and uses one in his profession so I didn’t question his assessment. It didn’t take but minutes of observing this object, that he basically stated “That’s not a drone.” The movement of this object was far too dynamic compared to a drone.

If I could describe the movement of this object, I would say it’s like a pesky fly flying in front of you with its erratic up and down and sideways shifts. Also, this object would cover distances so quickly that it didn’t seem drone-like. It also flew so close to the rocky out-cropping—AT NIGHT-- that smart drone pilots would not dare. This was not a drone!

Before I dive too deep describing this object, I want you to know that there will be so much more to describe as there were many more that we witnessed that night. Yes, many more with many different behaviors and visual manifestations. Get ready for “profound” as I mentioned earlier.

So, let’s start with the first one, and the more interesting sighting. When I first spotted this dazzling object, my mind was set on drone mode and I simply dismissed it as somebody playing with a toy. I want to say it was about midnight when we first started observing. I quickly alerted my friends and got them watching along with me. Like I said, we quickly deduced that this wasn’t a drone but our minds couldn’t grasp what the reality was. The reality is that we were looking at these very energetic, star-like orbs. It was a brilliant shine with a very clear, almost bluish hue. Get ready, here’s where it gets weird!

Underneath this very bright orb was what seemed a separate entity that shined of a brilliant red. This object was crazy looking and I would describe it as almost an octopus like shape, this is no joke folks! It seemed to have a main body and leg like, trailing legs giving it the look of an octopus. It appeared to have several legs but I couldn’t give you a count. These legs, had a small, red orbs that were brilliant in their shine. These orbs appeared to me to be incrementally spaced with about 6-7 points on the leg.

These two objects literally danced with each other for quite some time with the red entity underneath the white orb above. It often looked like the two entities were connected as they flitted around but suddenly would separate with a small distance between them. The white orb broadcast a brilliant shine on the rocks nearby, giving it an almost spotlight quality. The red object also reflected but was much dimmer.

As we were observing these crazy things dance around for a good length of time, we began to notice some other white orbs nearby, acting in a much different fashion. The first sighting was the only one that evening that had the red entity associated with it. I, regretfully missed the moment the red entity disappeared due to trying to watch a larger expanse of area. After that, we never saw the red object again.

So, there we were absolutely spellbound by what we were seeing. It was stunning, it was hard to comprehend, it seemed unbelievable. I absolutely lost track of time but four hours would roll by with no shortage of odd, odd, very odd things to observe. Believe it or not, we finally decided to go to bed at four in the morning because we were exhausted, even though the show continued!
The initial white orb-which seemed to gleam slightly brighter than the others and began to really move around a lot more once the red entity was gone. This was all happening on the other side of the bay at nearly ground level from our estimates. This orb passed back and forth several times above other campers, apparently without alerting anyone to their presence. The orb, on occasion, would shine a spotlight like beam towards the ground or rock areas. It was kind of like it was searching for something. We could hear the camper’s voices earlier in the evening but never heard a voice when this orb floated overhead. Of course, it was past most people’s bedtime at 1ish in the morning.

All of these orbs would dance around, travel, then eventually disappear. Some would reappear as they had before, do nearly the same dance, travel the same direction, all to disappear again. This went on for hours! There was no rhythm, no order, no definite pattern to their behavior but just random antics, again and again and again.

I occasionally would start looking at a random one that seemed to shine a bit brighter than the rest. As I stared at them, I would suddenly feel that they knew and they would appear to approach directly towards me in a perfectly straight-line. More than once I swiped my arm/hand in front of me because it felt like they were right in front of me. This happened to me about 5 or 6 times. It was very disorienting, slightly disturbing when this would happen. I would feel a bit dizzy and unsteady on my feet from a few of these encounters. I was certainly alarmed, but I never felt in danger or afraid.

Strange huh? Guess what, it gets even more bizarre. When I said profound, I meant it. I’m not sure there really is a word to capture the essence of this experience.

After watching these objects across the bay for what seemed about two hours, it occurred to me to look around and do a good 360-degree scan of our area. Guess what? They were all around us and above! We were absolutely in the midst of large gathering of these orbs, these shining balls, these curious little entities. I want to call them earthly, as they were not way up in the heavens with the stars, but I want to call them celestial as they were not from this earth. I don’t know how to think of these things as they possessed a combination of both earthly and celestial origin. That’s possible, right?

Here’s just one oddity of this. When it occurred to me that they were above us, I began to watch these things intently. They didn’t really move much like the earlier orbs, but seemed to phase in and out somewhat and jig and jag occasionally. The strange part about this group is that they seemed to be part and parcel of a strange, very low cloud system. The clouding around these orbs seemed to be an integral part to the group. My impression was it seemed like frog spawn with the embryo at the center of a gelatinous mass. Even though the clouds were a little hard to see, we both described them as having a curious structure. I’m not sure that what structure I saw I could put into words or pictures!

So, this odd cloud mass above us had a small roundish opening where you didn’t see the cloud mass. However, we could not see the celestial stars past the opening. I seriously tried to see if I could even see one star beyond this cloud system and I couldn’t.

What I was seeing was another outrageous part to this story. Remember, I had two other people with me that saw it exactly how I did! In this roundish opening, a single, slightly brighter orb resided slightly off-center of the opening. This shiny orb had its own curious cloud-like mass surrounding it. It’s like that was a special star with its special cloud round it. This orb seemed to try and mimic a real star but I knew that it wasn’t, it just wasn’t! My impression of this stary orb was that it had a higher order in the group. It didn’t dart around but it did move slowly and slightly. It would, every so often, disappear up into the haze above it and eventually reappear again.

In the same clearing, there was a very different mini-star like group that seemed to have a weird association with the “Main Orb.” This clustery group of shiny points had a similar shape to the red entity’s lower leggy part. Same shape, sort of, but a dimmer cluster of white shine. There seemed to be a subordinate or dominant structure amongst them but in a very agreeable order.
These two peculiarities seemed to ebb and tide between each other in a flowy salsa set on super slow speed.

Throughout the night we kept our heads on a swivel since there was so much going on everywhere! The very first orb we observed was no longer doing its strange dance just across the bay like earlier. I don’t recall it being in that area again after about the two hours into our observations. Like I said before, there was no rhyme nor reason to any of these entities’ actions. It’s like we were simply there to observe them in their natural habitat. I don’t know how else to explain it!

Brace yourself, because here again is another crazy description of some different lights that evening. Every so often, we would see one orb that was slightly orangish compared to the others. It seemed a little larger and gave me the impression that they were of a higher order amongst the many other white orbs. I don’t know why I say this but they just moved about differently. There weren’t more than three or so of these that I noticed throughout the evening. Another orby occurrence was an object that struck me as jet-like. Seriously, this thing moved more in a direct line throughout the others and seemed to have a purpose among the orb clusters. It appeared triangle-like and was a combination of bright white orb at the front or tip of the triangle and had a reddish hue on one side and a greenish hue on the other. It was not incredibly brilliant in shine like the other orbs and seemed to have a dullish or obscured brilliance to it. I noticed these things three different times later in the evening. Of course, this sounds like a description of plane or jet but I assure you that was not the case. They only travelled through the cloudy grouping that I described earlier and I never saw them exit the larger cloud mass. Again, this cloudy network was not that far in the sky and was certainly not in the region of flight patterns.

When we all finally had our fill from the experience, at about 4:00 in the morning, we decided to retire for the evening as we had a busy day head of us. My two friends retired first and I was right behind them. I secured our campsite and fire for the evening and headed to my sleeping quarters. I decided to take one last look at the sky and around us and guess what? The orbs had decided to move on and I could not see any of them like we had just 20 minutes before. This was another strange twist to that night! Off in the distance, I could faintly make out a large cluster of shiny objects seemingly headed to the west. Was this a star cluster or our group of orbs headed off somewhere? My mind was so overwhelmed that I just passed it off as another bizarre component of our evening.

I remember when I finally settled into my cozy bed in the back of my truck, I felt really weird. I felt somewhat disoriented to a point of dizzy like. I also felt like I was floating, with my truck, off the ground ever so slight. This feeling lasted for a good 15 minutes before I felt relaxed. I also recall feeling a very deep but subtle vibration that felt like an earth vibration. It was not pulsing but consistent. It was so faint and almost unnoticeable. Very odd indeed, but then again, the entire evening was outrageously odd!

I’m sure some will ask if we felt threatened or felt any fear during this. The answer is no. In fact, that was the topic at one point amongst us three if any of us felt in danger from these objects. We all concurred that we really felt neither fear nor divine emotion. Never was there any panic amongst us or divine occurrence, again, it felt as though we were just observers and nothing else. Throughout the evening, we would individually invite them to visit us. Yes, we sincerely asked these objects to reveal themselves and join us! We were far more intrigued than frightened and we were just hoping for a meaning to what we were witnessing.

I must admit, overall, the experience was incredibly divine but I just wished I had an answer of, why? Why were the three of us given this access, if you will, to something that seemed well beyond our reality? Were we chosen for the show? Did we just happen to be in the right place at the right time for a celestial gathering?

Obviously, as you could imagine, this experience has had me buzzing ever since. I’m the kind of guy that needs answers and I don’t have any solid answers. At this point, I’m just wide open to what this was truly about. I’m also a true skeptic but this defies logic according to my reality. My guard is down and I can’t possibly be skeptical towards this profound, unexplainable event.
Historically, this area was a heavily used area by Native Americans. There are endless artifacts, petroglyphs, pictographs all around this area that confirm this. Since I don’t have even a slight clue about this event, did I witness something that was related to these ancient people? These orbs struck me as very earthly but cosmic in the same respect. Almost like a conjuring from spiritual, earthly beings.

Some of you may ask, “where’s the video?” Fair question indeed! I knew what I had (smart phone) wouldn’t really portray exactly what it was we were seeing. I also was so damned spellbound that I could not take my eyes off the incredible show around us. This seemed very uncharacteristic of me because I document everything. Was I under some power that inhibited my innate impulse? My friends also did not try to video anything that night. Why? Why didn’t it occur to us to at least try to get something? This was also rather uncharacteristic of my friends that were equipped with the smartest of Samsung phones and also a quality digital camera. Was there some force affecting us that inhibited us? The night was so strange and so mystic that I wouldn’t doubt the possibility here.

The story doesn’t end here because the next evening brought us a much different, but equally fantastical experience. This evening started a lot like the night before where we had a clear sky earlier with increasing clouds later in the evening. It was this second night that my mind started thinking about the clouds the night before because there was a peculiar similarity between the two evenings. Both nights, it seemed there was a light clouding that began obscuring our clear view of the skies along with these other clouds. These other clouds were sparse but large in their size. Even the shape of the clouds struck me as peculiar. They were very shapely, with many curves and protruding edges like you would see on a large lake with bays and peninsulas. Another strange aspect of these clouds is that they were very dark and almost black. Looking back, I would describe them as ominous in their appearance. At the time I didn’t think much about them as I thought it was just a play of shadowing as the moon crested beyond the horizon heading to the other side of the world. It seemed when these clouds would show up the fun would begin.

This evening was much different because this time there were only about three different orb areas that were active. There wasn’t the massive gathering like the night before. These orbs basically stayed in their distant areas doing the very same habit throughout the night. One light in particular was by far the more entertaining.

This particular orb appeared fairly close to where it all began the night before. It was a little more to the left of our view where we saw the red and white orbs dancing the night before. It stayed in a particular track throughout the entire night going back and forth in almost a straight line. This orb travelled back and forth over an area I would put at about an 1/8 of a mile to maybe a 1/4 mile. It would flit about up and down and sometimes sideways but would stay on this chosen path. Like the lights before, it would often disappear out of sight only to reappear again later and do its funny ritualistic dance. This went on for hours!
The orb activity seemed to kickoff about midnight just like the night before after the dark clouds showed up. Freaky huh?

This same orb also seemed to have a spotlight yes, a spotlight! This was not your typical man-made spotlight as it had incredible power and would light up an area at an unbelievable size. This spotlight would light up the entire track this orb travelled that night. The spotlight would often shine here and there as if it was looking for something. Interestingly, this orb would turn this light on us, or so it appeared, but it was never bright to our eyes nor did it illuminate us. The orb just seemed a little larger and brighter when it turned towards us. It didn’t shine this spotlight all that much but when it did it was obvious!
Closer to us and just on the other side of the bay was a group camping. Two of us were certain we heard a female say, “they’re back!” when this orb flew directly above them at one point. I wanted dearly to go over and talk to them the next day but we were on a schedule that did not permit it and it was a little difficult to reach. I regret that decision immensely. At least I would have a few more witnesses to add testament to this unbelievable story!

Another curious thing the orb would do is multiply. As you watched it, it would seem to clone itself and birth other orbs the same size and shine as the original. These orbs would trail off and disappear, leaving the main one to dance with its self. A time or two that night, other orbs would show up and the two or three or more would dance back and forth like they were interacting somehow. They would eventually disappear, leaving the original one to itself again.

There were two other orb activities that night but considerably a good distance from us and the more entertaining orb. One group far across the lake near Hall’s Crossing had its own strange pattern of dance that night. There were two distinguished orb clusters. One group had a cluster of white orbs and the other cluster a mix of color orbs. These two groups appeared to hover in an area without much movement in any direction. They seemed to be on the same track as they would float up together and then back down. My impression was that they were not in any conflict that I could detect, they just seemed to play off of each other. Again, this went on for hours too.

The third orb area was just a repeat of an orb rising from a particular area, travel left to right along the same path and drop or disappear in the same area. Sometimes, this orb would appear to also clone itself similar to the before mentioned orb. This also went on for hours.

Earlier that evening and just an hour after sunset, I laid down to rest my tired back. I’m 61 and beginning to feel my age! My friends began to experience the odd happenings during my resting. There was a moment when they were in their tent when they said that a bright light overhead would illuminate their tent very brightly, shut off, and then do it again. They said this lasted about a minute or so. I was very close and awake but I didn’t notice any light such as that. They were very adamant about this so I didn’t even begin to question it. Everything was so weird and indescribable the night before, why would I even question their testimony, right?

As I was still resting, my friends decided to take a hike over to a sandy beach and lake side area about a half mile away. While out there, they said they had maybe the most profound experience out of the two nights. I wouldn’t do this story justice because this would have to come from them directly. I guess at one point they had a light shine at them, startling them somewhat because they thought they were intruding upon another camping group. Their impression was it was a pickup with two beings next to it. However, they felt very strongly that the two entities were not human. This part of the story really needs to come from them as I do not want to embellish anything here. They had said the vehicle was very near the area we were camping but I did not notice anything peculiar as I rested. It gave me goosebumps when they told me. Of course, I didn’t even begin to question their experience.

When they came back to camp, I rallied and joined them at the campfire only to hear this bizarre experience. After that is when I started looking around again and spotted the three different orb groups. I couldn’t believe that we would have to back-to-back nights of odd experiences, but the whole thing was so outrageous I figured, “why not!”

My friend did do a short recording of the “main attraction” orb and it did show the erratic movement but it did not portray the actual look of the orb. This is what I expected to see and that’s why I didn’t bother trying to record. It looked like someone shining a flashlight directly at you and moving it around. Trust me people, this was no flashlight!

I think we finally went to bed around four in the morning. I’m old and I like my sleep but I just couldn’t stop watching as the hours slipped by. It was hard to think of sleeping as you could imagine!

I’ve never been so enthralled in my life and I’ve had some incredible moments throughout my 60 plus years on this earth. Back in the summer of 2019, I experienced a UFO(s) sighting in the same general area of Lake Powell. I like to go to Lake Powell for its wonderfully dark skies and incredible star-gazing. I don’t get down there often enough! I’ve observed these UFO’s four different times now throughout the last 5 years. My UFO’s stories are a whole other story for another time to tell.

Another celestial blessing was seeing the Aurora Borealis in the desert of Utah. This experience happened very near Goblin Valley State Park. This experience can easily be explained with all the backing of earth science so it doesn’t even begin to compare to the story you are reading here. I’ve always viewed that as a gift from the Gods because of my love for the natural world. Nature is my cathedral, my church if you will.

I’m now left with the question of what I and my young friends experienced. It would be easy to be bugged into a psychosis over this because of its extreme nature, well beyond a human’s day to day reality. It tested me in a way I never imagined but I know what I was seeing, and what my friends were seeing so I accepted this new reality in front of me. I’ve never doubted the magic or mystic of this world so maybe that made it easier to assemble in my brain? It was a calm experience for the three of us; never terrified nor wholly overwhelmed. It was just a neutral feeling, I guess. It’s like we were just simple spectators to a very sacred event.

A recent trip to the beautiful Lake Powell, Utah turned out to be the most profound experience of my 61 years on this earth. Fortunately, my experience was also witnessed by my two younger guests making my story very credible. If I hadn’t someone else to back this story, I would truly be questioning my sanity as it was so profound it would be hard to convince others of this unworldly experience. It’s still hard to convince myself of what we witnessed.

I want to point this out right now. I’m not one to embellish this—I don’t have to! I will gladly undergo any investigation. I’m absolutely willing to be hooked up to a lie-detector, given truth serum or whatever. My testament here is an absolute bond to anyone, man or God.

It’s like that was a special star with its special cloud round it. This orb seemed to try and mimic a real star but I knew that it wasn’t, it just wasn’t! My impression of this stary orb was that it had a higher order in the group. It didn’t dart around but it did move slowly and slightly. It would, every so often, disappear up into the haze above it and eventually reappear again.

In the same clearing, there was a very different mini-star like group that seemed to have a weird association with the “Main Orb.” This clustery group of shiny points had a similar shape to the red entity’s lower leggy part. Same shape, sort of, but a dimmer cluster of white shine. There seemed to be a subordinate or dominant structure amongst them but in a very agreeable order.
These two peculiarities seemed to ebb and tide between each other in a flowy salsa set on super slow speed.

Throughout the night we kept our heads on a swivel since there was so much going on everywhere! The very first orb we observed was no longer doing its strange dance just across the bay like earlier. I don’t recall it being in that area again after about the two hours into our observations. Like I said before, there was no rhyme nor reason to any of these entities’ actions. It’s like we were simply there to observe them in their natural habitat. I don’t know how else to explain it!

Brace yourself, because here again is another crazy description of some different lights that evening. Every so often, we would see one orb that was slightly orangish compared to the others. It seemed a little larger and gave me the impression that they were of a higher order amongst the many other white orbs. I don’t know why I say this but they just moved about differently. There weren’t more than three or so of these that I noticed throughout the evening. Another orby occurrence was an object that struck me as jet-like. Seriously, this thing moved more in a direct line throughout the others and seemed to have a purpose among the orb clusters. It appeared triangle-like and was a combination of bright white orb at the front or tip of the triangle and had a reddish hue on one side and a greenish hue on the other. It was not incredibly brilliant in shine like the other orbs and seemed to have a dullish or obscured brilliance to it. I noticed these things three different times later in the evening. Of course, this sounds like a description of plane or jet but I assure you that was not the case. They only travelled through the cloudy grouping that I described earlier and I never saw them exit the larger cloud mass. Again, this cloudy network was not that far in the sky and was certainly not in the region of flight patterns.

When we all finally had our fill from the experience, at about 4:00 in the morning, we decided to retire for the evening as we had a busy day head of us. My two friends retired first and I was right behind them. I secured our campsite and fire for the evening and headed to my sleeping quarters. I decided to take one last look at the sky and around us and guess what? The orbs had decided to move on and I could not see any of them like we had just 20 minutes before. This was another strange twist to that night! Off in the distance, I could faintly make out a large cluster of shiny objects seemingly headed to the west. Was this a star cluster or our group of orbs headed off somewhere? My mind was so overwhelmed that I just passed it off as another bizarre component of our evening.

I remember when I finally settled into my cozy bed in the back of my truck, I felt really weird. I felt somewhat disoriented to a point of dizzy like. I also felt like I was floating, with my truck, off the ground ever so slight. This feeling lasted for a good 15 minutes before I felt relaxed. I also recall feeling a very deep but subtle vibration that felt like an earth vibration. It was not pulsing but consistent. It was so faint and almost unnoticeable. Very odd indeed, but then again, the entire evening was outrageously odd!

I’m sure some will ask if we felt threatened or felt any fear during this. The answer is no. In fact, that was the topic at one point amongst us three if any of us felt in danger from these objects. We all concurred that we really felt neither fear nor divine emotion. Never was there any panic amongst us or divine occurrence, again, it felt as though we were just observers and nothing else. Throughout the evening, we would individually invite them to visit us. Yes, we sincerely asked these objects to reveal themselves and join us! We were far more intrigued than frightened and we were just hoping for a meaning to what we were witnessing.

I must admit, overall, the experience was incredibly divine but I just wished I had an answer of, why? Why were the three of us given this access, if you will, to something that seemed well beyond our reality? Were we chosen for the show? Did we just happen to be in the right place at the right time for a celestial gathering?

Obviously, as you could imagine, this experience has had me buzzing ever since. I’m the kind of guy that needs answers and I don’t have any solid answers. At this point, I’m just wide open to what this was truly about. I’m also a true skeptic but this defies logic according to my reality. My guard is down and I can’t possibly be skeptical towards this profound, unexplainable event.
Historically, this area was a heavily used area by Native Americans. There are endless artifacts, petroglyphs, pictographs all around this area that confirm this. Since I don’t have even a slight clue about this event, did I witness something that was related to these ancient people? These orbs struck me as very earthly but cosmic in the same respect. Almost like a conjuring from spiritual, earthly beings.

Some of you may ask, “where’s the video?” Fair question indeed! I knew what I had (smart phone) wouldn’t really portray exactly what it was we were seeing. I also was so damned spellbound that I could not take my eyes off the incredible show around us. This seemed very uncharacteristic of me because I document everything. Was I under some power that inhibited my innate impulse? My friends also did not try to video anything that night. Why? Why didn’t it occur to us to at least try to get something? This was also rather uncharacteristic of my friends that were equipped with the smartest of Samsung phones and also a quality digital camera. Was there some force affecting us that inhibited us? The night was so strange and so mystic that I wouldn’t doubt the possibility here.

The story doesn’t end here because the next evening brought us a much different, but equally fantastical experience. This evening started a lot like the night before where we had a clear sky earlier with increasing clouds later in the evening. It was this second night that my mind started thinking about the clouds the night before because there was a peculiar similarity between the two evenings. Both nights, it seemed there was a light clouding that began obscuring our clear view of the skies along with these other clouds. These other clouds were sparse but large in their size. Even the shape of the clouds struck me as peculiar. They were very shapely, with many curves and protruding edges like you would see on a large lake with bays and peninsulas. Another strange aspect of these clouds is that they were very dark and almost black. Looking back, I would describe them as ominous in their appearance. At the time I didn’t think much about them as I thought it was just a play of shadowing as the moon crested beyond the horizon heading to the other side of the world. It seemed when these clouds would show up the fun would begin.

This evening was much different because this time there were only about three different orb areas that were active. There wasn’t the massive gathering like the night before. These orbs basically stayed in their distant areas doing the very same habit throughout the night. One light in particular was by far the more entertaining.

This particular orb appeared fairly close to where it all began the night before. It was a little more to the left of our view where we saw the red and white orbs dancing the night before. It stayed in a particular track throughout the entire night going back and forth in almost a straight line. This orb travelled back and forth over an area I would put at about an 1/8 of a mile to maybe a 1/4 mile. It would flit about up and down and sometimes sideways but would stay on this chosen path. Like the lights before, it would often disappear out of sight only to reappear again later and do its funny ritualistic dance. This went on for hours!
The orb activity seemed to kickoff about midnight just like the night before after the dark clouds showed up. Freaky huh?

This same orb also seemed to have a spotlight yes, a spotlight! This was not your typical man-made spotlight as it had incredible power and would light up an area at an unbelievable size. This spotlight would light up the entire track this orb travelled that night. The spotlight would often shine here and there as if it was looking for something. Interestingly, this orb would turn this light on us, or so it appeared, but it was never bright to our eyes nor did it illuminate us. The orb just seemed a little larger and brighter when it turned towards us. It didn’t shine this spotlight all that much but when it did it was obvious!
Closer to us and just on the other side of the bay was a group camping. Two of us were certain we heard a female say, “they’re back!” when this orb flew directly above them at one point. I wanted dearly to go over and talk to them the next day but we were on a schedule that did not permit it and it was a little difficult to reach. I regret that decision immensely. At least I would have a few more witnesses to add testament to this unbelievable story!

Another curious thing the orb would do is multiply. As you watched it, it would seem to clone itself and birth other orbs the same size and shine as the original. These orbs would trail off and disappear, leaving the main one to dance with its self. A time or two that night, other orbs would show up and the two or three or more would dance back and forth like they were interacting somehow. They would eventually disappear, leaving the original one to itself again.

There were two other orb activities that night but considerably a good distance from us and the more entertaining orb. One group far across the lake near Hall’s Crossing had its own strange pattern of dance that night. There were two distinguished orb clusters. One group had a cluster of white orbs and the other cluster a mix of color orbs. These two groups appeared to hover in an area without much movement in any direction. They seemed to be on the same track as they would float up together and then back down. My impression was that they were not in any conflict that I could detect, they just seemed to play off of each other. Again, this went on for hours too.

The third orb area was just a repeat of an orb rising from a particular area, travel left to right along the same path and drop or disappear in the same area. Sometimes, this orb would appear to also clone itself similar to the before mentioned orb. This also went on for hours.

Earlier that evening and just an hour after sunset, I laid down to rest my tired back. I’m 61 and beginning to feel my age! My friends began to experience the odd happenings during my resting. There was a moment when they were in their tent when they said that a bright light overhead would illuminate their tent very brightly, shut off, and then do it again. They said this lasted about a minute or so. I was very close and awake but I didn’t notice any light such as that. They were very adamant about this so I didn’t even begin to question it. Everything was so weird and indescribable the night before, why would I even question their testimony, right?

As I was still resting, my friends decided to take a hike over to a sandy beach and lake side area about a half mile away. While out there, they said they had maybe the most profound experience out of the two nights. I wouldn’t do this story justice because this would have to come from them directly. I guess at one point they had a light shine at them, startling them somewhat because they thought they were intruding upon another camping group. Their impression was it was a pickup with two beings next to it. However, they felt very strongly that the two entities were not human. This part of the story really needs to come from them as I do not want to embellish anything here. They had said the vehicle was very near the area we were camping but I did not notice anything peculiar as I rested. It gave me goosebumps when they told me. Of course, I didn’t even begin to question their experience.

When they came back to camp, I rallied and joined them at the campfire only to hear this bizarre experience. After that is when I started looking around again and spotted the three different orb groups. I couldn’t believe that we would have to back-to-back nights of odd experiences, but the whole thing was so outrageous I figured, “why not!”

My friend did do a short recording of the “main attraction” orb and it did show the erratic movement but it did not portray the actual look of the orb. This is what I expected to see and that’s why I didn’t bother trying to record. It looked like someone shining a flashlight directly at you and moving it around. Trust me people, this was no flashlight!

I think we finally went to bed around four in the morning. I’m old and I like my sleep but I just couldn’t stop watching as the hours slipped by. It was hard to think of sleeping as you could imagine!

I’ve never been so enthralled in my life and I’ve had some incredible moments throughout my 60 plus years on this earth. Back in the summer of 2019, I experienced a UFO(s) sighting in the same general area of Lake Powell. I like to go to Lake Powell for its wonderfully dark skies and incredible star-gazing. I don’t get down there often enough! I’ve observed these UFO’s four different times now throughout the last 5 years. My UFO’s stories are a whole other story for another time to tell.

Another celestial blessing was seeing the Aurora Borealis in the desert of Utah. This experience happened very near Goblin Valley State Park. This experience can easily be explained with all the backing of earth science so it doesn’t even begin to compare to the story you are reading here. I’ve always viewed that as a gift from the Gods because of my love for the natural world. Nature is my cathedral, my church if you will.

I’m now left with the question of what I and my young friends experienced. It would be easy to be bugged into a psychosis over this because of its extreme nature, well beyond a human’s day to day reality. It tested me in a way I never imagined but I know what I was seeing, and what my friends were seeing so I accepted this new reality in front of me. I’ve never doubted the magic or mystic of this world so maybe that made it easier to assemble in my brain? It was a calm experience for the three of us; never terrified nor wholly overwhelmed. It was just a neutral feeling, I guess. It’s like we were just simple spectators to a very sacred event.

Triangle shape, multiple points of light high rate of speed. Viewed twice, once north to south, then south to north

Myself and one other, watching the night sky, saw a triangle object with multiple points of illumination travel above the rim in a path parallel with the horizon at a high rate of speed silently. Although we had differing perceptions on distance between us and the object, I would have to guess it was within 3 miles, if not 1 mile from our location. Other party said it was closer. The rim view allowed judgement for distance traveled which I would guess to be about 3-5 miles. It covered this space in the span of about 4 seconds. After getting first sight on the object I was quickly shocked and surprised, stood up and pointed and followed with my finger tracing it along the horizon, saying holy @&$? Look at that. My knees buckled a bit and, partner said I see it I see it, and it was gone. The object seemed to travel in a way like it was tied to a string from the front and pulled along. Effortlessly and without resistance. Around second 4, the whole shape flickered dimly and was out of sight. We sat and talked about it discussing exactly what each of us saw and how it was nothing like we had seen in the night sky before. It made us both feel uneasy for some reason. We continued to look in the direction of the object as we sat and talked about it more, and about 5-10 minutes later it came back from the direction we saw it originally, this time about 1.5 speed. Lost sight of it when it passed behind a tree in the foreground. Did not see it come out the other side. Dogs started barking, car alarm in a parking lot between us and the object started chirping. At this point the one I was with wanted to go inside. I sat staring for a minute, listening, and I suppose thankfully, nothing more happened. Very unusual, very real.

Large craft, roughly the size of an SUV. No wings or propellers.

While making deliveries on River Road, I saw what I thought was a drone in the sky. It was large, roughly the size of an SUV, and hovering between 70 to 120 feet in the sky over a department store. I pulled over to watch it, but didn't think to take pictures because it had red flashing indicator lights on it, which I took to mean it was following FAA regulations.

It began to suddenly drift toward the east hill, moving at maybe 30mph. I began driving again but couldn't find it on the other side. It didn't make any sound, and the more I thought of it in retrospect, it bothered me how big it was. I've never seen a drone that large, and though it was dark, I made out no wings or hoops that might have held propellers.

It was shaped like an oval, but it had sharp edges along the front and back, almost like a car. In addition to the red light that seemed to flash every few seconds, there was a white indicator light as well, but I don't recall the frequency with which it flashed.

I called the police station later that morning and they didn't cite any other reports. I know it wasn't a plane or a helicopter. And I'm yet to see a drone that's more than 15 feet long.

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.

Shape: Changing
Explanation: Balloon - Possible
Characteristics: Changed Colo

I saw reflective object in the north sky that seemed to stay in a fixed position, silverish gray, odd shape.

Looking to the North from my back yard, I saw one high-altitude reflective object that caught my attention while talking on the phone. It stayed in a fixed position and seemed to be rotating or I could see what looked like a shimmer, or flash the color was silverish gray.

I live close to the Heber Valley Airport and could see and hear smaller planes at the same time, lower altitude and closer to my house - I do not believe this object was a Jet or Plane.

I should have stopped talking and tried to take better photos, but my friend was joking and making fun of me seeing a UFO. I would say it lasted about 8 to 15 minutes. I walked in the house ended my phone call and then went back outside, there was cloud cover by then and I could not find the object sadly I did not see it leave or get any other photos.

It's hard to see the object in the attached photos, you have to zoom in and look to top of the frame. I added a snip also hope that helps.

Location: Cedar City, UT, USA
Location details: Northern sky.

Shape: Light


Lights resembling the movement if fireflies, centered around the star lowest in the sky, north of cedar. Continuing west to east.

When first spotted after work from my driveway, lights resembling fireflies in the sky, were moving up, down, back and forth, only visible on the horizon around the planet that's 1/4 from northern horizon from Cedar city. Once I reached my back porch, I grabbed my binoculars, and witnessed a steady stream of staggered formation glowing gold objects. The were only visible as they past above and below that area around the star. They had stopped their eradic movement, as 4 or five passed in formation, high and low, in a near continuous trajectory. This went on for an hour. There was a small brake between the next group, but they kept their staggered formations high and low. One broke formation, and went high to low in a dropping maneuver, but quickly turned and joined the next passing formation. I witnessed this through my binoculars, while on the phone with a friend who had just arrived home. He could not see them from the north side of cedar city. This was the meteor shower they have been talking about. I seen them with tails, moving double the speed of these craft. Satellites, don't act like them, and as I watched them in the first, they are absolutely agile enough to mimic the movement of fireflies.
This is my second such incident in a month, I work night in the field fueling equipment alone. This time I had just arrived home with no issues until then. If they are gold flying soccer's, they are not coming as one gold craft, they are here in the hundreds.

Nobody cares anymore, maybe you guys do, maybe you don't, but what is happening is an invasion. Biden shouldn't have shot a few of them down, maybe things would be as they were.

NUFORC UFO Sighting 177447
Occurred: 2023-08-10 01:30 Local
Reported: 2023-08-12 08:05 Pacific
Duration: 4 hours
No of observers: 1

Location: Hanksville, UT, USA
Location details: State Route 24 and 94

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

We were driving up thru Aurora UT on State Route 24 when I noticed a round orange ball of light bouncing above the tops of the trees.

Me and a passenger were driving thru Aurora Utah on State Route 24 when I noticed a round orange basketball sized ball of light bouncing above the tops of the trees. I looked at what it was doing and at first I thought it was a mining equipment surveying the land. Then I looked at it again and I thought, that is a UFO. That orange light kept bouncing around thru the trees for a long time. It didn’t bother us or try to follow us. The orange ball split into 2 balls of light and they both kept to the north of us the whole way. I wasn’t afraid of it so I kept driving. We drove for about another 15 minutes when I noticed another craft following us. This craft was diamond shaped with four really bright diamond shaped white lights on it. I tried to get away from it and that craft chased us thru State Route 24 for about an hour and then it disappeared. About another 2 hours passed and I noticed another craft to the south this one was twinkling like a star but its movement was faster than an airplane it zipped around in the sky and then flew off to the east. When we started reaching the summit of that canyon above the tree line to the north west I saw a huge red UFO, the whole thing was round and it looked to be a flaming red hot round circle. We made it to Blanding Utah and we did not see any more other craft objects after we reached our destination. We did not take any great pictures of these objects worth sending to you but I do want to file a report about our experience driving thru Aurora Utah and Hanksville Utah on State Route 24.

Location: Taylorsville, UT, USA

Shape: Other


Crescent / Boomerang Shaped object

I walked outside to try to view a thunderstorm that was to the north, just east of the Great Salt Lake. Told my mother who was standing outside with me that there was supposed to be a meteor shower soon. We watched the skies for roughly 3-4 minutes before she headed back inside. I looked up and in the dark, I could make out a craft of some type but could not determine what type of craft it was, as it had no lights on it and it moved silently. It seemed to weave into/behind the clouds, trailing/moving the clouds slightly as it moved through them and and I lost sight of it very quickly, it almost appeared to cloak itself as it moved south west.

This object was too large to be a bird based on the size of it near the clouds, it also moved in such a way that would not possible for a bird in the strong winds while ascending.

The best way to describe the shape is an amalgam of a crescent, a boomerang and a V in one shape. One single object with what appeared to be sections on the body which I imagine is where lights or some sort of multi-point propulsion system would go underneath.

This thing was exceptionally stealthy, I would not have noticed it had I not been looking in that area of the sky for a small window of time.

This may be unrelated but roughly 40 minutes later, I noticed a large/heavy helicopter that did not show up on flight radar flew low over my house in the direction the craft was heading. I'm familiar with medical transport helicopters, news helicopters and police helicopters, this was none of those.

I testify that I am of reasonably sound mind and was not under the influence of drugs or alcohol during this event.

Location: Monroe, UT, USA
Location details: North side of Monroe

Shape: Other
Characteristics: Aura or haze around object

Midday witness of a white, figure 8 shaped UFO that maneuvered in an unconventional way.

I was flying my drone just north of Monroe Ut. I had sent the command for the drone to return and land. As I was watching the drone, now directly overhead, an object flew northbound into my field of view. At first I though it could be a plane or a bird, however, the two "wings" were round and white in color. I continued to observe the object as it proceeded north. The speed was still equivalent to a plane or low flying bird, but the two round "wings" still made no sense. The object/s appeared hazy or diffused. As I observed the object it made a tight U-turn at an estimated speed of 2 to 3 times faster than it's straight line speed. The object did not bank as it turned. The two round "discs" stayed together as it turned. The object continued travelling south at the same speed as it's previous northbound speed for 7 or 8 seconds, then accelerated immediately and left at an astonishing speed in a SSE direction. I watched the object as it sped away until it was out of sight. My entire observation lasted approximately 20 seconds. The two discs (possibly orbs) stayed in the same side by side configuration during the entire time that I observed it. I was not able to photograph the object, but I have completed a map with the object path of flight.

It was dark so all we could see was the lights around the outer edge and dark body within that circle or ring shape. It slowly came from the north not much higher then the mountain top then hovered just above I'm guessing about where the freeway is at 12 th street then then it went straight up and hid behind a cloud for a second then once the cloud moved my girlfriend and I watched it continue straight up then remained by these 2 stars to form a triangle and remained there til it got light. We tried to get pictures but only had cell phones and could not get clear images

Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 1

Location: Cedar City, UT, USA
Location details: West of cedar cit6

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Two headlights that were not blinking, hovering across the railroad track. It turned red when I stopped to video it.

Driving on a dirt road to one of my job sites, I seen two lights like headlights shining at me on the other side of my equipment I fuel at night. Once I got to my equipment, I got my phone out to record, the object turned red, and stated to move north west. I videoed the object until a helicopter passed over me in my fuel truck. I felt safe to get out then, so I started my truck up, engaged my PTO fuel pump, reved my truck to 1200 RPMS and got out. My truck has an idle shut off, so when the PTO is engaged, the truck will not shut down. As I was out, Taking numbers from the equipment, my truck shut down. I was in shock, this has only happened one time before in deep snow. The electrical plug, was pulled off due to ice, this time, I hadn't drove over anything that could have ripped that plug off! The hair on my head stood up, I was not alone, and now, my work lights were off. I walked around my truck, looked under it to see the wire hanging as if something pulled it off to get me in the dark alone.
I plugged it in, started my truck up, only to see three helicopters flying around where the craft was hovering.

They are not here for peace and love, they tried to possibly contact me, attack, or abduct me. I had a armed encounter with a flying saucer when I was 14, 1989, hunting elk above deer creek. These whistle blowers, have not been on the ground in the daylight, having their saucer in their cross hairs, I have. They are not going to stop now. I can not fuel at night armed, it is against company policy. My truck has strobe lights, and bright halogen work lights, they know my location nightly. The feds may need to watch me fir a few weeks from a distance at night. PS they are on the ground now, I feel they are not just watching us, they are here for more this time.
