Oval over Murray, UT
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
I was on a FaceTime call with my cousin and I randomly open the door to my backyard porch. We were talking and I felt a presence over me, I looked up in the sky and I saw a white sphere, slightly pressed in the middle but not quite an oval, over the tree at our neighbors house. As I’m looking up and see it I feel like many eyes looking at me, almost like a pressure on me. The instant that I see the object it zoomed away, toward the East mountains with a white/light blue line of light. It was so fast and it made no sound. It shoot in a straight line toward the mountains in such a speed. As it got close to the mountains it disappeared immediately. It only lasted a few seconds but it was very clear and bright. It was mind blowing!

MY VEIWING REPORT: On Friday evening 9/8/17, at approximately 9:45 PM, I was looking at what I thought was a beautiful blueish moon, when with an unbelievable speed the moon (or orb as it seemed to turn out to be) flew from south to north into the clouds as witnessed by my adult daughter also.

...against a clear blue evening sky; (1) incredibly fast/ black/ object - observed traveling SE to NW. The object was shaped as illustrated, between these parantheses lines ( :__: ) [end]. One single, black object, traveling 3-5X the average descent that a commercial aircraft would fly, into SLC International Airport. The single black object traversed my viewpoint at ((address deleted)) E. Gilbride Ave. (SW line of sight) within 5 sec., and disappeared into the blinding sunset.

At one point the side by side, triangle shaped lights separated, changed from red to white and moved side to side like nothing I've ever seen, and I have always been a late night stargazer! Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

A very bright red light appeared out of what seemed like nowhere as I was facing South. It began to moving down and gradually to the right. After about 20 seconds it dims. Then the lights goes off, you see nothing, then comes back on at the dim level twice before vanishing. Another one came about 30 seconds later doing roughly the same pattern. About 10 minutes later another appears. This time the light moves up and down gradually moving to the right, same light patterns. A fourth and finally a fifth light appears. All moving up and down, with the last 2 veering further to the right, near where the first two vanished. It wasn't long before several obvious airplanes flew across the sky in the same vicinity. And since I have heard regular helicopters in the sky, still until now at 23:30. Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD

The four of us were sitting outside on my front porch talking, we had been out there for two hours before we all saw something in the sky. We all went silent because all four of us were trying to figure out if we were seeing things but the object was flying from north to south, when we saw the ufo it appeared to be in the sky above about 4800 south and it flew south and disappeared at about 5900 south. When we first saw the ufo it was some what of an oval shape and had alot of very small very dim white lights (at least 50 or more). Then, as it was flying across the sky, dead silent, Right before it disappeared the lights multiplied to probably a few hundred and was about the size of two cars put together and each light was moving and the shape changed to a circle like shape that looked like it was pulsing. I have never seen anything like this and I don't have any idea what it could have been and all four of us saw it…

I saw a white, pill shaped object at roughly 1,500-2,000ft traveling at slow speeds heading south down 13th east. I'm familiar with all flying commercial drone types as well as aircraft that are flown in the area and this matched none of those. It was pill shaped with what looked like a clear area in the center of the craft, the middle section was completely invisible, or it was some kind of glass type material. It looked about the size of a large sedan, completely shiny and white. I followed it on its path for 10 minutes asking bystanders what they thought. No one I asked had any idea as to what it was at all. This object also made no noise at all. I have frequently within the last 2 years seen Apache helicopters frequently performing "dive bombing" maneuvers above Salt Lake City. The choppers will fly back and forth performing what look like faux attack runs, only with much more exaggerated movement than what I have previously seen in a normal operation. There are also a number of mysterious black military choppers that fly over the city every once in a while due to Hill Air Force Base being within close proximity.
