Light over West Valley City, UT

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.

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.

Would love to have it any lied to know what this was. But can't share on this site due to the rules. I will potentially post this on youtube as a UFO / ASTEROID /COMET in sky of Utah, 7/27/16. Chinese rocket re-entry. PD
