Large disc slowly passing over courtyard and parking area of my apartment home at Wasatch Club apartments I observed a large disc with white circle shaped lights all around the disc moving absolutely quiet over my apartment home parking and courtyard areas. The disc was absolutely silent but the lights on the disc where rotating in a circular shape. The disc appeared to be hovering low as if it wanted to be seen but at 4 am in the morning no one is usually out or awake at that time.
The disc traveled slowly south bound and disappeared over the trees on the south end of the property. The second I saw this disc I felt frozen and so was time for I wasnt able to do anything but stare at this object and seconds after the event I felt faint as if I was going to pass out.

Such a strange UFO it was almost like it disappeared and appeared in a different place without having to go across the sky. I stepped off my back porch to have a cigarette at approximately 1 a.m.
on the night of July 15th, 2020. I noticed a flashing light in the sky but there was something that was strange about it. It would flash on and offbut every time it flashed on it was in a different position in the sky and in order for it to do that it had to be traveling at a speed like nothing that I had ever seen.
it basically was almost disappearing and appearing again in a different spot. it was blink off and then when it came back on it would be several miles away from where it was before. I watched it for about 15 minutes and when it was right above me it blinked one more time and then I never saw it again.
it's acceleration have to be miraculous because it was almost like it appeared in one spot and then disappeared and appeared in the other without even going from one spot to the other this was the first UFO sighting I have ever had in my lifetime and I'm 65 years old.

My wife and I saw 2 shining dots in the sky that were side by side at one point, then they’d separate, then again come closer together. I got my binos out and we noticed a transparent ring around them, and also red, green and yellow lights circling around the top of the objects. They disappeared right before our eyes.

Witness one: We went outside to walk the dogs around 11:30pm. I heard loud booms like boom,boom,boom,boom. About 20 repetitive booms.
It sounded like cannon fire. Then my friend came put with the other dog. Witness two: flashes of light behind the clouds, lighting up the sky multiple flashes seconds apart different areas of the sky and no streaks and no rain after hand to explain it streched probably across half of the sky and stopped in matter of a few min with no evidence in sky of anything clouds gone no planes not one thing in the sky where we see it.
Witness one: It lit up the whole sky in a square diagonally shoting lite sporadically. Then it like sucked itself up & disappeaerd. No evidence it was even there.
Crazy if there was ever a doubt it is definitely gone. I've searched all over for hours. Nothing like this ever reportded.
They manipulate the weather to cloak themselves. Thats how we r learning to do it. What is going on? Please explain what we just saw!-!!!.

Rainbow of colors disrupts the Utah night sky. A friend & I were on our way home driving on I-215 in Midvale, UT. Our conversation was disrupted & for 3-4 seconds the sky over the Eastern Mountains of Utah, near Salt Lake City, went from being typical black/dark, to green, red, blue, pink,.
honestly every color imaginable, then back to dark, as if nothing happened. No actual craft was witnessed, but the display of colors in the night sky was clearly not natural.

multiple craft flying around in sporadic and synced path following chem trail Approx Around 13:45 to 14:09 mountain time, I was washing my son in bath, I had stood up to get bath soap from the window and just happened to look out the window. I noticed a chem trail being sprayed by plane and noticed below the trail shiny things in the air. So the plane had traveled and they were slowly following the path of the chem trail, but they would almost stop and fly around and around then move towards the plane or almost trying to catch up to it but taking their time.
I know they were NOT birds because when they would change direction and altitude the different angles would hit the sun, causing them to reflect light or what light you'd expect from the sun, like a mirror. So they seemed to be metal.actual material unknown.
I had gotten excited so I ran downstairs and pointed it to my wife, 4 confirmed if she can or did see them and she said yes, I do see them. There were about 9-16 or so, definitely more then ten (10), they all would fly around in circles following the east/southward path. They were hard to follow when going from upstairs to downstairs and back up again since that far away they'd blend in with the sky.
I don't know exact altitude I'd guess 2 or 3 k feet up….

At 20:00 hrs (8:00 mst just to be sure on time accuracy), I was told by wife to go get gas in her vehicle. I came upon the stop sign coming out of our area, I noticed lights, I'm always looking up I've seen cool things so I'm always looking up. I only noticed it because there is construction going on across from the stop sign, but they have massive lights there, it reflected from the bottom of the craft.
Once out of reflective range I still saw it and followed it with my eyes. It is so hard to explain, it was going so slow but it was going fast at the same time. It had to be less than 1.
5 - 2.5 k feet up. It was absolutely super quiet.
I didn't see heat source, I didn't hear mechanical movements or propellers. It was my first, I yelled, I see you! I NEVER saw night or "flight" lights, it just blended into the sky, I hope I've explained it well enough for others to understand, I am a sober mined late 30's man whom knows the difference from commercia! l planes. Unless , as my mind must be open minded to a possibility it could be a drone, but I say NO, it just was so quiet, and I know this again I had my head out the window when it all happened, I was spitting out the window.

Darkened Oval with 8 to 9 red, orange and yellow beams moving and hovering in the sky. On Thursday, March 14, 2013 about 8:25 p.m.
I went outside to take the dog out. I had my two year old Grandson in my arms. We were walking around the yard in the night air.
I looked up into the sky over my Sister’s yard next door and saw and oval shape in the sky that was darker than the night sky. There were 8 or 9 cone shaped beams coming from this oval. The type if shape you would put around a sun if you were drawing one.
Similar to this 0>. They were a variegated red, orange and golden yellow. Red being closest to the oval then the orange and then turning to yellow.
The beams did not protrude from what seemed to be the front of the object. The object or craft hovered for perhaps one to two minutes. It had to be only a few blocks East of where I was standing.
Then slowly moved positions, heading North, stopped, hovered again then slowly moved forward North again. Momentarily I could not see it behind my Sister’s house. I walked to the front yard, laughed because here I was following it with my Grandson in my arms.
Watched it hover again for about the same period of time. My neighbor came out to bring her trash can to the curb and started talking to me. I promptly brought he attention to the object in the sky.
She said, "How strange. Well there is supposed to be a comet tonight." I then said, "That is not a comet, a comet does not hover!" The comet then moved North again.
Stopped hovered shot something out of it. What looked like it fired something out of it. That was golden yellow and went for perhaps a few miles and dissipated.
Then it took off speeding North East.

Fiery yellow-orange ball in clear sky, hanging at 8:00 to Jupiter; it floated and drifted , then flamed out, but sphere remained I am a 64 Yo Master’s level Professional Woman, socially responsible and not considered a kook of any kind. Although this was on New Year’s Eve night, I had nothing to drink or substance of any kind. I was at my significant other’s house for the evening and decided to go home about 1:25 AM.
I traveled about 3 mis north, then turned west on to 74 St South. Immediately, as soon as I was facing due west I saw a very bright orange light directly in front of me. It was moving very slowly in an erratic pattern appearing to move north, then drift in an easy turn to the east (toward me), then to the south, then straight up, almost straight above.
I would say it was about a 1200 feet up and almost a mile or so away when I first saw it. I was so amazed and so entranced with the phenomenon, I called my friend to tell her to go outside, she did not answer. I called her several more times hoping she was would see it, too.
I could not continue to drive and watch, so I pulled over to stare with curiosity and a bit of trepidation. When I first saw it, I thought it was a helicopter, but within seconds realized it was too big, too bright and moving to erratic for a helicopter. After I parked I knew immediately it was not a helicopter or plane.
At that same second the intensity of the color got brighter and more yellow-orange. It was sitting in the sky at about 8:00 to Jupiter, just kind of hanging around, like it was a fiery balloon floating in the wind. It was not so large that it could have been easily covered in the sky by my thumb.
As it started to climb straight up, the fire of it flickered more intensely, but the flame itself started to die out and soon it was extinguished. However, the “object” was still visible: it was not round, but I could see it was spherical. It did not emit much light, but yet, I could see that it was there, lighter gray than the sky and still doing the same lazy floating pattern of drifting.
I decided I needed to get out of the street where I was stopped and go home to watch it from my back yard, which was only about 5 mins away. I lost the object then. It was gone by the time I got home.
There were more clouds, then, as if they just appeared out of nowhere; where it had been was not clear any longer. Jupiter was there as was some duller stars, but no object. The object was very consistent with a fiery ball, although it did not sent out sparks or trail any flames or vapors, it was like watching a flame wax and wane, change color and intensity, get brighter, then snuff out.
By the time I got home, I was so alert and hyper-vigilant that I am not sure I will be able to sleep for several hours yet.

Strange objects in the night sky over Midvale (Salt Lake City), Utah August 17th, 2006 -- a few minutes after 22:00 MST This was at night, no moon, slightly hazy but the stars could be seen pretty well. I was sitting outside of my house in Midvale (Salt Lake City) Utah having a cigarette. After casually gazing at the southern sky for a few minutes I started noticing objects appearing from the east.
My first impression was that it was a flock of white birds, illuminated by the city lights, flying to the west. But then they formed into a perfect triangle, changed course slightly, and traveled west then disappeared into the sky. Frankly, I thought I was just seeing things or they were in fact a flock of birds.
Another wave of these white objects then appeared, formed into 3 triangles, then headed to the west. At this point, I was convinced I was seeing UFOs. I am 30 years old and have never dreamed that I would witness something so strange in the night sky.
Then I started seeing other types of objects. They were very big objects that looked liked grey clouds, but they all had sharp edges and were with the same exact shape, these flew side by side and headed of towards the western sky. They started coming wave after wave, mostly the white objects that were sometimes accompanied by the much larger grey objects.
At this point I was getting quite scared and simply could not believe what I was seeing. Then I saw a group of red orbs that formed into a cluster ball, this was surrounded by some kind of light that resembled a corona or aura. This headed in a slightly different direction but still slowly to the west.
When it traveled, it passed behind my neighbors house, then reappeared on the other side then faded after it traveled for a bit. I was already stunned by witnessing the previous objects, but this one just blew me away. After that happened there was nothing in the sky for a few minutes, then the waves of the white and grey objects passed close overhead.
This went stop and go and the entire experience lasted around 40 minutes. During the time I was on the phone with my girlfriend and brother describing what I was seeing and was astounded to say the least. I have always been a skeptic.
I don't believe in ghosts, voodoo, psychics and such things. I have always had doubts about UFOs, but I always believed they could be possible. I never thought that in my life I would see something like this and hopefully I will always remember.
This could not have been anything man made. The way the objects were moving in the sky almost looked like they were alive. They were completely silent as they grouped up in formation and flew towards the west.
It is hard to say how far the objects were considering that I have no idea what they were. All of the objects were kind of faint, but you could still make them out because of their movement. One of the white object clusters blinked several times then disappeared.
I sincerely hope somebody confirms this event, it was awesome and I would like to compare sightings. I called FOX news to see if anyone else reported, but they said no. I made this call at 23:15 MST.

In Midvale, Utah in the early morning I woke up to leave a sleep over with my friend. We were waiting on the steps of another friends house and I pointed at a star. The reason I noticed the star was that it was a really bright star and I had not noticed it before.
Seconds after I had pointed at the star it had turned into a saucer shaped object. It took me a second to take in the infomation I had just seen. It was a small flying object with lots of little colorful lights.
Within seconds fire was shooting out of the bottom of the saucer propelling it upward. I had seen a lot of UFO television shows and I ran like hell for the house because of fear. That was the last I had seen of the object.
My friend remained to watch it, but I cannot recall what he said. I have seen or heard nothing of it since. ((NUFORC Note: Date is approximate.
PD)).

Boomerang shaped set of lights over Midvale Utah. I’m guesing at the date and time as I was a young boy and that was quite a while ago. This must have been between June and August as I visited there on summer vacation from school.
I believe I was around ten years old. I was sleeping out in the back yard at a friends house. We were laying with our heads to the East and feet to the West.
The closest East running street is what used to be called Greenwood ave. (7800 So.?) I remember being almost asleep and looking directly above and slightly to the South and I saw a boomarang shaped set of lights aproximately 500-1000 feet up.
The object was moving in a straight line from East to West and made no sound that I remember. I could not see an outline of the craft only the lights. The lights were smooth edged, round, and evenly spaced.
They were off white or pale yellow, the closest color I can compare it to is a halogen street light. I remember there being one light at the corner (point) of the angle in front and maybe three trailing the center light on each side at approximately a 45 degree angle like a carpenters square or boomerang. I remember pointing it out to my friend.
As I stated before, I was almost asleep and must have fallen asleep after it passed out of sight.
