I was shoveling my walk with my 2 friends when two fireballs flew acroos the sky in a northern direction we all saw it and wondered if it was a UFO because it went kind of slow.
3 teardrop shaped crafts hovered in the sky changing color
There were 3 teardrop shaped crafts hovering in the sky. I saw them when I was doing some star gazing from inside of my house. I was looking out the window when I saw the three ships hovering for 3-5 minutes changing color.

A silvery object showed up while out doing a skywatch today. at around 2:13pm for four minutes and then again at 2:19pm to 2:33pm. going east really slowly till it went over the mountain towards Emigration Canyon. I was using my 500mm lens at f~ 5.6, got about 10-12 pictures a couple with the object by the moon. Shiny silvery object, that change shape constantly, estimated size: 20 ft diameter, no fantastic moves or anything, just slow hover-like movement. I was quite surprised! I didn't expect anything to show up, but I'm glad I went and watched.

At about 3 PM I looked across the bay toward the east mountains near Layton. Right above the mountain tops, we saw a shiny silver object that was flying very slowly with no noise. We looked at it, trying to figure out if it was an aircraft or not. It disappeared before I could grab my camera.I said to Marjorie, "I want that object to re-appear so that I can get a picture of it."We pulled off the road and waited about 5 minutes. Suddenly, another craft appeared in approximately the same location. I grabbed my Nikon digital camera and snapped 4 shots before the object disappeared again.When we got home, I downloaded the photos into Photoshop and enlarged the images. The image on the screen was clearly not an aircraft! It had no tail, no wings, and the top appeared to be slightly concave.We were so excited, as this was our first daytime sighting,
plus we got some photos.
update: The object appeared to move up and down slowly, not in straight and level flight like an aircraft. It made no sound like a jetliner does. It was very shiny, like it was made out of stainless steel, and it reflected the sunlight quite brilliantly.
Update:I can tell you this: they were definitely not infront of the mountain. At that extreme distance, it is really hard to gauge distances, but it looked to me like the objects were right over or slightly behind the peaks.This was exciting for me as it was my first DAYTIME sighting, and my first sighting where I took photos.

Shape : Diamond and Spheres
I was on my way to my mothers house Saturday at around 11:00 am. when I seen 4 small girls setting on there from porch looking up. When I got to my mothers house I looked in the area where the girls was looking and Iseen what looked like 2 tall sharp diamond shapes objects hanging in the sky. My mother does not have a camera with zoom so I drove back to my house and got my camcorder. I couldn't see the objects from my house so I drove back to my mothers house where the objects was still hanging in the sky. There was more then 2 objects and the objects was spherical in shape total of 4. On the tape I say there is 3 but after watching the tape we seen the others. I video taped them until they left. I did not get them on tape as they were leaving.
The 2 that are together moved off to the east. I have reported this sighting to: Peter Davenport's site. VIEW REPORT
When i started taping the objects I was in my parents back yard and each time I would get theobject into focus my mothers dog would jump on me.These first pictures are time stamped 11:14 am. the last time stamp on the tape with an object is 11:25 am.The objects didn't move off until 11:30 am.(not on tape)
I want to show that the objects can not be balloons and have been in the same area for this amount of time.
Looking west towards the tower on the mountain, a bright white light was seen coming towards the city ,small at first getting bigger as it came closer, stopped between witness and mountain, then followed by a duplicate object which stopped close to first, then a third object joined the the other two coming in same as the first two, forming a "half circle" or dome formation, then each object moved off one at a time disapearing in the distance, then returning in the same way and making the formation again, just slightly to the north. this happened three times, each time making the dome formation equally spaced and timed as if repeated. shape of objects were seen during formation which was at its closest, "jellybean" or Tic Tac shape. no sound was heard, no flashing lights, Objects did come through the cloud cover that was present. Several witnesses watched in awe and exitement from two different locations and called UUFOH during the sighting. Decribed the sighting as it was happening and gave their report over the phone. They said it was an amazing sight. The Utah UFO Hunters is currently doing follow-up investigations on this event. Reported to NUFORC on 5/25/2002

Location of sighting: Manti, Utah south east over mountains of Manti
Shape : Sphere
Description of object /s : It was hard to describe, a very bright light object over the east mountains of Manti. It shot out of nowhere, circled and propelled towards the west. It almost seemed to sense 3 of us were watching from the porch of a home up on the hill, and then exited in a large hurry. The man who's home we were at, stated that he saw them frequently sitting up on the hill.
Also, I remember a couple of years ago, there was an extremely bright orange light that was football shaped, that hovered over a large area of the southeast mountains here in Manti and lasted for several minutes. Many people saw it, and someone commented from down south in Aurora, that they thought the "world was coming to an end". Have also seen a lesser orange colored football shaped formation of light over the west mountains of Manti about 6 years ago. When watching it for several minutes, my husband and I, there were 2 lightening like zaps that came from beneath the orange light and then dissappeared quickly. This also was viewed by 2 other people we talked too. Susan Greene

Also I have information that I will only give in person
I was looking up at the North mountains on my way to school, the sun wasn't up all the way, and I looked up above the top of the mountain, and saw a Diamond shaped light, that looked like a star.
It slowly started moving to the East for a couple hundred feet, then Disappeared. then at a Completely different Point in the sky, it Reappeared and moved to the east once again. then disappeared. Then Reappeared for less than 1 second and Shot downward and made a streak of light in the sky. then vanished behind the mountain.
On Feb. 24th, 2002 a report from the Utah Ufo Investigations Team in St.George, Utah that two French hikers spotted a Triangle hovering and flying around them and appeared to be looking for a place to land, it did this for 5 minutes and then took of in the sky. There were no eyewitnesses because of the location where these hikers were on a cliff side by them selfs hiking. This is still under investigations by the Utah Ufo Investigations Team
June 29,2002 At 12:00 am. At midnight a cluster of objects came shooting over from the West to the East. 1 hour and 24 minutes later a second set "or the same" shot over from the West to the East. I saw several single objects from the Magna area. Totaling 4 in all.
At 2:46 am. One was floating from the Southwest to the Northeast.
2:48 am. one Moving to the South flashed 10 times sporadically as it moved to the South and vanished in the sky.
2:55 am. Moving South southeast
At 3:05 am. After a shooting star caming from the east to the west a small object was seen at the end of the shooting star streak. The object was moving Slowly from the North to the South. Not sure if it is one of the same or a quinky dink.
All caught on night vision video except the shooting star streak
Location : West side of Grantsville, UT County: Tooele
Shape : Upside down T - Solid
Direction of Object: West - Hover
Visible for?: approx 15 to 20 seconds - No sound.
Event /Object Details: I was sitting on my deck observing the clouds and sunset. I was sitting no longer than five minutes before it appeared. It just appeared, there was no movement before, nor after. It looked like the top half of a cross. It appeared to be a light of that shape, though solid, and slightly positioned at an angle. There was no color to it, only white like a light. I decided it must be a reflection of the sun off the body and wings of an airplane, and the slow dimming and reappearing, almost like a pulse, was due to the light cloud cover. I had to abandon that theory after about 15 seconds though, because it didn't move during that time, as a plane or helicopter would, and the pulse appeared to be evenly timed.
For the height and distance, it appeared larger than you would expect a small plane to be.
Never have seen this type of object before. I have seen other quesionable objects during darker skys. My sister claims to have witnessed a UFO from my deck approximately five years ago, during a family barbacue. I was in the house at the time. I remember her excitment, but I would need to contact her to get her discription because I can't remember. My grandfather had numerous experiences with UFOs while living in the desert and working as a miner.
Note: Area is near a Military Airfield
Reported by : Andrea V. Dunyon - ViaUUFOH Online Report Form
Details: The object was at the St George D moutain in St George and I was told that a group of people were there and they came to me becuse they new I was in the UUFOH and they told me that at
approximately 8:00 pm on September 19th 2002 they had saw a sphere in the sky and so I went to the area where they had saw it and when I got there .there was nothing at first and all of a sudden there it was, right above the letter D on the mountain and I couldn't belive my eyes because it was just 200 to about 250 ft staight up and the object was a sphere looking shape with one light and I watched it for about 4 min and then it went away. I had asked the people that had seen it if they had taken any drugs or had bieng drinking before we went out there and they said no. then when we had got to the spot of the activity I had asked them if we see somethig , would they be willing to do a report and they said because of the fact that they were scared to admit to what they had saw and scared of what could happen if they did. I tried to change their minds but they were pretty shook up about it. From my investigations of this sighting I feel that a full investigation is nesessary and that we might have more activity in the near future if you need to get more info contact me at. - - - - - - -

Description of object /s : I have seen wierd things in the sky for the last 3 days, but the most incredible one that I saw, was on tuesday the 6th of Aug. I know that I wasn't the only one on I-15 that had seen It because it was so big and close. I was a really, really bright light, so bright that it wasnt a plane. The color of the light was a yellowish-white. The object flew so fast from riverdale to roy, and thats where I was driving. Then all of a sudden the light turned into a bright RED. At that time it was BY the Roy exit, and their it was sooo close and had sat there hovering for about a minute, flashing three lights in a clockwise pattern. I kept driving and made my boyfriend watch. he had told me that It was flying back into the direction it came from. We pulled over after we got off the freeway. This light turned back into the bright light we seen before and hovered for another minute, and the started to move really slow. then the light dimmed, and disgused itself as an airplane but this time, you could see the shape which was a triangle shape, with a flashing white light in the front, and a red light on the left, and a blue light on the right. There seemed like there was at least 5 of them, acting the same way, two nights in a row. all at the same time, there seemed like so much air trafic, but 11:30 their was no sign of any plane.
Details: all that i noticed was the way that it would move so fast and then stop and go its slowest

Glowing Manta-ray Shaped Object Flies Over Kaysville on a Southwardly Course Parallel to Wasatch Mountains
Just after midnight on a clear cloudless night, as I faced east towards the Wasatch Mountains, a dimly glowing manta ray-shaped (or perhaps sideways football-shaped, as it was a bilaterally symmetrical, twin-lobed shape--like two apple seeds glued together with the points facing out) object moved across the sky towards the south. The object had no discernable light source on its surface, and the glow may have been the reflection of city lights. Its air speed was faster than any airplane that I've ever seen to traverse that same distance.
From my vantage-point, as I sat on the ground between two trees, the object flew in a straight line south. It appeared to be the same size as a pea held at arms-length. Its altitude seemed to be slightly higher than the peaks above Kaysville. This was a quiet evening with little wind, and the object made no noticeable sound. Fifteen minutes later, a passenger jet flew by the same area and jet engines were distinctly heard, even though the jet appeared to be farther away from me than the unknown object had been.

Three non-blinking stars moving across the sky from south to north in eastern part of sky at 4:25 a.m.
I observed a "star" moving across the sky from south to north. It did not seem to be twinkling and moved in a steady path and speed. It faded out when in got to the Little Dipper (from my perspective). I looked back to where it had come from and saw two "stars" moving in generally the same direction. They were not moving parallel to each other, more in a slight "v", so I was unable to watch them both. I focussed on the brigher one until it disappeared close to the Little Dipper. I glanced across the sky but could not see the third one. I waited for about ten more minutes looking south but no more moving stars. I would not have thought that much about a moving star but three really caught my attention.
((NUFORC Note: Witness may have witnessed a cluster of satellites, perhaps the three which are seen to fly in formation over several weeks, and which are thought possibly to be part of the U. S. Navy N.O.S.S. satellite system. PD))

I saw an unusual falling star.
I saw what could have been a falling star but it didn't "act" like any falling star I have seen before. It appeared like any falling star but there was no streaking, the light was more substantial (like an unblinking airplane light) and though it was moving fast it was not as fast and fleeting as falling stars seem to be. Also, it didn't vanish in the middle of the sky. Instead, the light stayed consistant and seemed to "fall" behind the Wasatch Mountains in the east. I would be interested in knowing if anyone else saw this and if it was a meteor or whatever.

Strange Bright Light over Oquirrh Mountains of Salt Lake City
I was looking out my kitchen window to the west when I saw a very big light over the mountains (Oquirrh Mountains). I knew that it was not anything that was usually there. I watched it for about 5 minutes and it did not move. I went inside and got my binoculars and looked at it for a minute, but could not distinguish anything but a very, very bright light. I could observe airplanes and they usually blink. This was not like an airplane. I went inside to call my sister and as I was speaking, the brilliant light slowly, very slowly, went behind the mountain. I would not have reported this if not for the fact that my husband, who works at the airport, saw something very strange in the sky tonight. We are about 20 miles away and I could not see what he was looking at. He said it was cigar shaped and changed. I will have him add his report later.

Lights over Salt Lake City.
I work at the Salt Lake City Airport and as I was looking to the west, I noticed a cigar shaped mass floating through the air at approximately blimp speed. It was almost a transparent/flourescent type of light. It was lined with lights. The lights weren't very bright, but they went all the way around it. and it changed shape like it stood on it's end and got shorter and fatter as it was turning on its end. As it flattened out again it got long and skinny, like a cigar. I definitly was not an airplane or a weather balloon. It was like what you hear on ufo shows. It made no noise. I have never seen anything like it and it is very hard to describe. It was witnessed by about 12 people.

Bright Light from the heavens illuminated me like a spotlight, dims and disappears
My friend and I were watching the stars. We were seated approximately 3 feet apart. Something caught my attention. I looked up into a light so bright it left me seeing spots for several minutes. My friend was looking in my direction and said I was engulfed in a glow of light like a stage light but the light never touched him. After a few seconds the light dimmed and appeared to be a sattelite moving north to south about 20 degrees until it disappeared.

Shadowy lights in the shape of a bird moving across the sky rapidly.
We saw just lights and no crafts. The lights were more like shadowy shapes and were grey (sometimes changed to red) in appearance. What we saw were bird-like in shape with the width (i.e. wing span) varying in width. They generally moved across the Milky Way in approximately 5-7 seconds. They started out dim, got brighter as they passed over and then dimmed. At times they appeared stippled. They almost moved like a wave in the water. They moved in different directions across the sky. Most of the time each shadow moved in a single direction, but rarely some changed direction as they moved. Most of the time we saw one shadowy shape at a time, but occassionaly we would see two at a time moving in different directions. We saw approximately 50 during the half hour we viewed them. We were viewing the Percieds at the best time of the year and saw many shooting stars.
((NUFORC Note: We spoke with the witnesses to the event, and they seemed to us to be both sincere and quite credible. They reported that they had contacted the Hansen Planetarium in Salt Lake City, which we confirmed with personnel at that facility. The Planetarium had received "four or five" similar reports from communities in the same general area as Salem. PD))((FOLLOW-UP COMMUNICATION WITH ANOTHER POSSIBLE WITNESS))
I am fairly certain I witnessed the same thing as reported from Salem, Utah with minor variations. The "object" had an orangish glow not red and the boomerang or v shape broke up completely two or three times to form somewhat of a circle. I was able to watch them long enough to determine with 99% certainty that what I was seeing was birds.
I called two wild bird companies to find out what kind of bird migrates at 10:30 at night or later and could "glow in the dark." I was told that the white faced ibis, for one migrates in v's, is brownish grey, and has luminescent feathers that will reflect light from the setting sun or possibly street lights. I was told also that birds migrate at night and in this situation probably from the Great Salt Lake to Utah Lake.
This is one possible explanation for what we saw. ((name deleted))
Location of sighting: Heading north on 3600 W, following lights towards magna and more west.
Location : Taylorsville, UT
Shape : Light
Description of object /s : The objects were big and bright orange in a v formation, they hovered and one appeared to be triangular shape when it flew over head at an extremely fast speed.- When the light changed to a triangle shape over our heads, it wasn't loud like a jet or airplane. It was low and kind of hummed, it didn't make too much noise.
Sighting Event Details:Description of object /s : We were traveling home last night when we saw several objects in the sky, much too large to be a jet, plane, or helicopter. They were in a V formation and slowly moving and hovering into straight lines and then back again. Couldn't tell exactly what shape the actual object was. I am not one to believe in UFO's or anything, but now I can't deny what I saw. It was not of this world, or maybe it was the government testing something, either way it was strange and there wasn't a logical explanation of what I saw. Suddenly, one shot straight up into the air and looked like something going into space. but it didn't, it flew right over our heads and appeared to look like a triangle. It immediately changed directions, nothing that I know of can go at that speed and change from right to left so quickly. The other lights were still there, they had an orange glow to them. We stayed for an hour and watched these strange objects. I know someone else had to have seen what was going on, I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't making it up. Now there is no doubt in my mind that we are not alone.I do feel suspicious about the whole thing, i thought we were completely alone in this universe, but now i have a strong conviction we are not.

Other sightings
Seen before?Description of past experience:yes I have seen objects on two other occassions but these were definitely not meteors or any other naturaly occuring phenomenon. The most striking of these where two very bright stationary lights that apeared to drip some sort of fiery liquid and they turned off and on. This was observed about midnite in East Canyon between the reservoir and Morgan in Oct or Nov of 2001. I was so taken by these lights I stopped my truck in the middle of the road and turned off the engine to observe them this lasted about 5 minutes. I closely observed the conditions and this was no way anything natural. One light was larger than the other. One would come on then sort of fade out then the other would come on. The large one was about as large as a 50 cent piece at arms length, the other one about like a quarter. I am very well read on the subject of UFOs and am not familiar with anything naturally occuring that could account for this. This was in a rural area and I also observed barking of dogs from two different houses along the road that was what I would describe as frantic not the normal type of bark you would hear. There was no other sounds at the time. Maybe to quiet ? As the larger light faded out, one time it apeared to drip several other lights or orbs below it, but they just disappeard at his point. I actually became scared or anxious and felt compelled to leave the area at once. I have never been scared before.

UUFOH Team member Don Rogers has aquired the UFO Blimp footage of the KSL News Broadcast on 8/01/03 & 8/02/03 which shows the object to be a blimp-like object around 40 feet long.
Close examination of this video and stills taken from it reveal a propeller on the rear of the object (which never moved) and box-like objects in the front. Also a rope of some sort is visable on the tape.
Making this object - Man made - and not a UFO from elsewhere. (But may be a test of some sort)
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 broadcast. No one has stepped forward to claim ownership of the craft, nor has anyone been directly tied to causing the event witnessed by so many. Some witnesses seen the object as close as 15 feet (overhead) and still considered it a UFO. Even though the box-like objects near the front were clearly held on or supported with some tape.
