Changing over Uintah Wilderness, UT

The report, as filed

Went backcountry camping in Uintah wilderness- unsure of exact location at time of sighting. First craft was spotted in North-eastern sky. A solid white light moving erratically before disappearing [the light just "blipped" out, did not simply travel out of view]- seemed lower than an airplane and was completely silent, duration about 5 minutes. During the interval between sightings we noted that the forest had fallen silent- no more owls or crickets. Ten minutes later the second craft was spotted to the North. [May have been the first craft in a new position, but it was visibly different] This anomaly was at about the same altitude and silent, however it was slower going and the white light seemed to be oscillating, like a lighthouse's light. We watched it for about 2 minutes before an orange tail shot out behind it and it bolted East. After getting to a more North-East position [nearing the position we 'lost' the previous craft] it slowed nearly to a stop and just like the previous craft, it just "blipped" out.
