Full Report Text:
my daughter was out observing the night sky around 10pm on 8/11/2020 she came running into the house to tell me she sees something strange moving in the sky. I came outside to see and she pointed at a cloud against the night sky and clearly a u shaped grayish object with a black center was zig zagging like a snake through the cloud then it disappeared. I would think this object was pretty big being that it looked large in the clouds and the clouds were at least several thousand feet in the air.
minutes later to the south of us I noticed 3 stars in the sky get blocked out by what looked like a stationary or slow moving cloud until the cloud dove straight down towards the ground and evaporated before my eyes and the stars that were blocked out were back. minutes after that that same cloud was over my house and moved to the west faster than a cloud moves and once again disappeared. shortly after this with in 3-5 minutes that cloud formation which was roughly the! size of a bus moved over my house quickly again and heading south and evaporated not before my daughter and I witnessed 5 or six glowing lights within the cloud.
until it disappeared over my neighbors house.

It looked like a giant kite or glider, it looked like a flock of birds but birds don't fly around at this time. We saw about 3 of them at different times. One was going towards the stars then disappeared and then it was really close to us, and then again we saw the same shape flying higher above us.

Strange fireball like objects in sky, 5 witnesses. 2 round, bright white, yellow/orange fire like objects flew in a horizontal line (going away from us) even looked like it went upward and within 7 to 10 seconds was just gone. Disappeared.
5 witnesses. We saw multiple satellites throughout the evening, but this was nothing compared to anything I've ever seen in my life. I caught the tail end of the object disappearing in a video, but the video doesn't do it justice.

I was walking northbound and observed a white light (much like Venus in brightness) slowly travelling both and a very slowly speed. I guess the approximate altitude about 20,000 feet. The object moved north and hovered in one spot for the duration of the sighting.
It appeared to the naked eye as a small bright white light. When I viewed it through binoculars, the shape was cylindrical with two small cylindrical objects the the each side. Half the the length of the main object.
It was grey in color and the two objects on the side are either engines or reflectors.

My wife and I were out on our apartment porch, 3rd story so good view of the Western sky. I was mid way through a cigarette and looked out at the sky when I noticed a large white light in the sky. Brighter than the lights on the radio towers on the neighboring mountain skyline.
The light looked like an incoming 747, but the light stayed in the same spot for 30 min. Mid way through it began slightly changing color. From Green to red to blue, and it would dim or brighten as well.
At about 11:10, it vanished from view. It was in the Western salt lake valley sky, and was definitely not on the mountains. It appeared to be over Tooele.

Bright bold flash of a space craft fly down and out of the sky in Utah. My Girlfriend and I were driving down the street for a late night run to the grocery store. Barely left the house haven’t even exited the street.
Us both starring out the windshield East towards the Wasatch mountains noticed a huge bright green/blue orb streaking downward into the sky and then blasted outward vanishing right in front of both of our eyes. Mind you this is at 2:19 am he stopped the car and we got out to look at the sky and we were in just disbelief of what we just saw. It was all pretty fast.
It blasted downward for like 4 seconds it was such a bright bold flash of faint blue and then zoomed up and we could both see the front of a ship/disk-like craft flash out of the sky. The back of craft seemed like it was cloaked to the night sky but also had green lights around it. Overall it was in the sky for about 5-8 seconds.
We both saw a faint trail after it vanished. It definitely looked like it hit light speed and was gone.
