ROLL OVER IMAGE: PROPELLER ZOOM IN
unfortunately we don't think this craft could maneuver at high speeds, it probably was adrift and powerless at time of the KSL recording.
This bright red propeller would have been quite visible at 15 feet away,

The UFO - BLIMP Object - 8/01/2002
UUFOH Team member Don Rogers has acquired the UFO Blimp footage of the KSL Channel 5 News Broadcast that aired on 8/01/02 & 8/02/02 -Footage taken by KSL cameraman Jen Pilgreen with a Sony Betacam DNW7 camera in 16X9 format.
The KSL footage shows the object to be a large blimp-like object approx. 40 feet long, probably constructed of silver mylar, Helium filled, with some sort of electric propulsion, owner / builder 'unknown' purpose or reason also unknown.
Close examination of this video and photo/frames taken from it, (enhanced) reveal a electric powered, red propeller on the rear of the object (which never moves in video) and 2-3 dark, box-like objects in the front.(propulsion & steering? batteries,) also a rope or string of some sort is visible hanging from the front of the object on parts the KSL video tape.
Making this object - Man made - electric and not a UFO with occupants from elsewhere.
(But may be a test or test flight of some sort that lost power and drifted from Dugway or ??)
This event was witnesses by hundreds of people in the foothills area near the U of U and caused quite a stir but was never followed up by the news media after the 8/02/ KSL broadcast apparently until 1/08/2004
No one has stepped forward claiming ownership of the craft, location of craft, purpose or reason behind the creation, nor has anyone been directly tied to this very public event witnessed by so many including police officers, firemen, news media, etc..
Some witnesses claiming they seen the object as close as 15 feet (overhead) and still considered it a UFO , with beings aboard, contacting them, by tearing a hole in space.. Even though at 15 feet the box-like objects near the front would have been clearly visible held on or supported with tape, and a little red propeller with wire stands out back. (photos below) The case report is below and has been re-opened, with revealing photos and info.

Hyperblimp Catches the Watchful Eye Jan. 9, 2004 http://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=5&sid=68785
Ed Yeates Reporting
A 16 foot blimp that blends into the background and zips around like a hummingbird has caught the eye of residents living in the Sugarhouse area. Even though it's sixteen feet long, the see through skin on the remote controlled helium-filled blimp makes it almost invisible against the sky. Inventor Daniel Geery flew his prototype low to the ground so we could keep an eye on it. But higher up, this whisper quiet hyperblimp, as its called, could keep an eye on everything else. It does what it has to do, then moves on quickly. Daniel Geery, Inventor: "I've got the next generation in mind already and it should be quite a bit faster than this one."
Surveillance from an onboard mini camera is only one possibility. With more sophisticated electronics, the blimps could scout for the lost in search and rescue operations. Geery: "There were people lost in the Uintas a few weeks back. Something like this could have probably helped find them a little quicker."
Geery is now working on an array of solar panels for his blimps. No need on a search or surveillance mission to return to earth to recharge batteries. Geery: "Conceivably, if you had a large array of solar panels to where you had excess electricity, you could store it in fuel cells so it could run overnight."
In his backyard garage, Dan does all of his inventing. And we're not just talking about blimps. He showed us another flying craft. Without batteries or an engine, it zooms underwater in swimming pools as a toy or a tool perhaps to teach kids to swim. A lot of neat stuff is coming out of Geery's backyard and he's just beginning.
Dan Geery would like to build a larger manned hyperblimp within two years, one you could fly from a cockpit attached to the bottom of the blimp.

UUFOH: Don Rogerts responds: the guy that made the blimp that Channel 5 reported over Sugarhouse and sent him a picture of the "UFO Blimp". He says it's not his and wanted more information about the "UFO Blimp", so I sent him some of the pictures that I had. If you want to check out what he's working on, check out his website at: http://www.hyperblimp.com/
Building witness said the location where witness blimp hovered over came within 15 feet
