Full Description of Event/Sighting: I was looking west over Salt
Lake toward the Oquirre Mountains. The sky was cloudless, but then I saw a dark
shape. I wondered if it was a cloud or a plane. I thought it was a cloud, but
it looked too regular in shape, so I figured it must be an airplane.
It moved in a straight line of travel at the same altitude, which
must have been several thousand feet to clear the mountains. It was a dark grey
blue in color, about the same color as the sky, but a bit darker. The sun had
just set about half an hour before I initially sighted it, so at first it stood
out against the sky somewhat.
As the darkness grew it blended in with the sky until it almost
disappeared. For this reason I was afraid to go find a camera or call friends.
Plus I still thought it might be an airplane as the closer it got the more it
looked like it had wings.
However, it made absolutely no sound and there were no lights on
it. When it was about halfway from the mountains to me it was so dark that I
could only make it out by the fact that it was blotting out the stars. It
increased in size until it took up a huge portion of the visible sky.
When it was directly overhead I could clearly see the shape. It
still looked about the same color as the sky, blue black or grey. However, I
could see irregularities in the color of the surface like you can see plowed
fields from an airplane.
It was made of rectangular and square pieces of almost the same
color that were joined together by straight seams. It was chevron shaped, so it
looked like a "fat" wing or a boomerang. It had curved corners, not
sharp.
Imagine sergeant's stripes and take the outline and round the
corners and you pretty much have it. It was a bit "fatter" in the
middle than at the tips of the wing. It was a huge flying wing with no fuse,
large and made no noise at all. The underside appeared as if heat waves or some
other atmospheric distortion affected my ability to see it, almost as if it
were "cloaked" somehow.
It continued in a straight line until it disappeared from sight.
It couldn't possibly have been an airplane because when it was directly overhead
it blotted out most of the sky and extended almost from horizon to horizon. So,
if it were at a normal flight altitude for a passenger jet it would take a
hundred or more of them wingtip to wingtip to make it appear that large.
I called out to my friends, but no one came out. No one believed
me when I told them, and I pretty much quit talking about it until the Phoenix
lights of 1997, when I realized that it was almost exactly what I had seen, but
with lights on it, i.e. a huge "boomerang" shaped craft that made no
noise and was about the same color as the sky.
Thank you to the witness for the report.
