I saw a round black object flying in the sky in a strange flight pattern. This was in day light. It was either small or extremely far away. It was definitely not a plane or a bird. My spouse saw it as well. I have a video if needed.

My family and I were driving from St George, UT to Mesa, AZ. We were on the US-93 highway when I noticed a black rectangular object out of my front windshield flying over my car about 400-500 ft above it. It "flew" over my car and towards the right and I screamed out to my family to check out what it was. My two sons in the backseat saw it and tried to take a picture but they said it slightly expanded and then just disappeared. It made no noise as far as we know and had no markings or lights. There were no wings or propellers.

Driving home saw a Green light jetting across the sky, then it just disappeared into a white “portal”. It was going so fast, and it seemed like it disappeared like when ships go into “Hyperspace” in Star wars. It happened Eastbound on the US-60 around 6:52pm. It looked like a green exhaust trail. There we’re tons of people on the road. I cant be the only one to have seen it.
