The report, as filed
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…

I did not see these live. These lights were caught on my Ring doorbell camera and I noticed this four hours after it had happened. Four bright lights flying, no noise and fading one at a time and three of the lights were flying in a triangular motion. No other reports of sighting from local news websites.

Midvale, UT
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.

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.

I did not see it, I was taking a selfie at the Midvale Graveyard and noticed a black metallic triangle shaped craft in the picture when I got home. I didn’t see it when I was at the graveyard I only saw it in the picture I took.
