Formation over West Valley City, UT

A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.

The report, as filed

I first noticed an object at about 9:38 PM, Friday, June 19, 2015. This object was about the size of the ISS and was brightly lit by solar reflection. I watched it for some time, it was moving from south west to north east. It looked like 3 balloons tied together in a triangular pattern. Skip to 9:00PM Saturday, June 20, 2015. I was talking to my neighbor and he was showing me a bright star to the west of the Moon. I told him that I had seen something that was strange looking the night before and pointed to the region in the sky where I had seen the object the night before. Low and behold the same object was was in the sky as the night before and in the same general location. The object was still visible as the sun had just set. It looked like 3 balloons tied together in a triangular pattern. But there was a reflection from the sun reflecting off something at the top of the uppermost ballon. Size: From my vantage point the size of the 3 connected objects appeared to be as large as the diameter of the fuselage of a commercial jet. If you were to look at a map of the Salt Lake City Valley, I would have seen the object directly over the Murray region. The object was relatively stationary for about 5 minutes, then it traveled west south west until it was in the direct path of jets on final approach to SL International Airport. Then it appeared to climb in elevation from what appeared to be about 20,000 feet until it disappeared straight upward out of sight moving directly southward over Camp Williams. The path was in a slow "S" pattern. but the strange thing is the same object was in the sky 2 days in a row. Military drone of some kind???????????

Ask for the records

What would the paper say?

For a dated, located U.S. sighting, FAA radar data and ATC communications are the records most likely to exist. Through Aletheca, the house instrument, anyone can commission the request — filed, chased, and published in the open, refusals included. The draft goes over already written: the records sought, and the date window they would live in.

It seemed to glide across the sky, and was relatively slow moving. At first I thought it was a plane, but then it seemed much too close, just above our heads. So then I thought it was a large bird or a maybe a large kite, when it seemed to move faster and was getting distant. At this point I noticed about 6 points of light around the perimeter of its shape, right before it disappeared. It didn’t disappear on the horizon though, it just vanished out of the sky. Both my wife and I saw it. We saw a second one about 10 minutes later across the sky in the opposite direction. And I saw a third much fainter one far up in the sky about another 10 minutes later.

Ball of light moving slow then shot out super fast, disappearing then leaving a trail of green light behind it, in a script writing kind of motion.

Okay, so I've had multiple sightings over the years. I woke up after a night of quite strange dreams. I noticed I had a very odd marking on my torso. Photo submitted by source of report shows multiple, small red marks on the left side of her chest. PD

My husband noticed me looking up and I pointed at it and we both watched it as it glided and either burned out or landed out of out view. It looked like fiery rain as it disappeared. Shortly before this occured, the street light on out street burned out for a few minutes leaving the entire street dark and then eventually re-lit.
