Sphere over Hurricane, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
Red colored orb sitting high in sky in one spot, hovering. Then raised straight up, fast, to a very high altitude in the sky and turned bright blue. I compared height pictures from drones and this was well over the limit of a drone and at least 1,000 feet up, probably more. It was an overcast unusually foggy night for our area. It remained blue then dropped straight down at a controlled descent in which it turned red again once reaching the same altitude where I first saw it. It then continued to go down towards the ground until I could not see it. VERY BRIGHT. I have looked at pictures of Drones. They are not bright like this and I do not think could have raised elevation straight up and down so fast. I was sitting on my deck looking South toward's Molly's Nipple, a local landmark.

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.

Cigar shape maybe as large as two train cars in length. Floated up and around and down in all directions. Slow moving. Thought it was a balloon but it floated a few times without moving. Then in one of my videos there is a second tiny object with a flashing light zipping around the larger object and then takes off super fast. [NUFORC annotation: Balloon - Possible]

Hey Everybody; We R stargazers and live in Hurricane. Sunday (May 3) we came out @ 9:25 p.m., & began seeing 18 UFOs in line w/quite a bit of space between them going N/E coming from the W!!!!! Something strange or unique is happening in our Universe! These objects could have been happening before we came out. We've been doing this nightly in the Spring since we moved here. This is another 1st for us! We have seen singular UFOs going E, S, W, blinking ones, ones which shut off & on like a flashlight, ones which all of a sudden it comes on like a dim flashlight & gets brighter & brighter then goes out.... then shows up at another spot in the sky doing the same thing. It gas been very entertaining. Unusual, but entertaining. One night 2 started doing antics like they were playing a game or putting on a show for whoever was watching. That was a 1st. Tonight was another. I mean, it really got us to wondering WHAT IS GOING ON????!!!!!

Noticed the stars twinkling a bit more one evening and stood and watched a second. Immediatly noticed a loooong line of twinkling white lights moving across the sky. The size of the stars more or less. The amount of them were able to stretch as far as i could see in both directions. Looked like a line of stars moving east to west. Towards St. George. Flying super close and low for how many of them there were. No sound. Noticed a report from almost exactly a year ago of the same sighting. What's up with this? Seems pretty explainable, but cant find any info on it.. Still plenty weird. Thank you! (( Possible military exercise??

Just after 10:00 PM, I observed a string of 8-10 flashing lights, spaced pretty far apart, which appeared to be lights on commercial jets. The altitude appeared similar to spotting an airplane at night, but I did not observe any red flashers. The lights traveled east to west, across my line of sight, while I was driving south on 700 East in Hurricane, UT. They traveled approximately the same speed as a commercial airliner would travel relative to my perspective. The lights appeared to be practically uniform in altitude, travel speed, direction, and distance between each. This seems uncharacteristic of typical aircraft travel, but I wonder if anyone has any insight as to what this could be or why (if commercial or other type jets) they would travel in this ‘straight-line’ pattern.

I went outside to take the garbage out and looked straight up and slightly to the north. There were two red lights that were a steady glow (not blinking and without shape other than looking like a star). They were hovering together. After a few minutes the one on the right slowly moved North and faded out about 10 seconds after moving, and the one on the left slowly moved South and faded out about 15 seconds after moving from the hovering location. My wife came out in time to see the one moving South.
