Description

So, I witnessed this today after work in Sandy, Utah. For those unfamiliar, it’s a few minutes from Salt Lake City, almost in the middle of the salt lake valley on the east side. I heard a loud plane, & as I was looking for the source of the noise, I saw this thing, but it was not the source of the sound I heard as it dissipated quickly. The object stayed in the exact same spot for 10-15 minutes. I was outside my mom’s at the time & had her come out to see it along with my sister and stepdad. As you can see in the video, the object appears to be spinning in place. My stepdad brought out his telescope after a time and tried to focus it on the object but struggled with the viewfinder and whatnot. He ultimately didn’t get a lock on it, & it disappeared out of sight, traveling further and further away within a matter of 2-3 minutes. A friend that saw the video suggested that it perhaps might have been a weather ballon, but I don’t think a mere balloon would have stayed in the same position for that long but what do I know. Hope this qualifies as a submission statement. Can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts.
