UFO Sightings in Utah
In the early 1980s someone told me about a very strange experience they had with a UFO in Utah.
Though their story was told to me in 1983, it had taken place a few years earlier.
This person told me that while walking near 12th street in Ogden, Utah they sighted, what appeared to be a very large, floating white bag.
The diameter of this object was 5 feet.
Along with this person was a friend; so two people witnessed this Unidentified Flying Object.
These two witnesses were curious about how this large bag looking thing was floating, as there was no wind that night.
They began to follow the object, and as they followed, it began to move away, toward Ogden Canyon.
A little mystified, the duo decided to toss rocks at the object; when they hit it they heard a distinct metallic sound and suddenly the object began to illuminate from within.
Within moments the object began to move quickly up the canyon, disappearing.
A Similar UFO Sighting in Utah
I have to admit that the story was so strange that I didn’t pay to much attention to it, that was until I heard a very similar story, 20 years later, of a UFO in an area very close to this original sighting. According to the story, this would have also taken place in the late 1970s.
This story begins with two friends returning to Ogden from Evanston Wyoming, by way of Monte Cristo. When coming from Wyoming to Ogden you would enter this road from the opposite side of the canyon from the other UFO sighting.
These two friends were driving near Pine View Reservoir on their way home to the Ogden area.
The passenger was asleep at the time of the incident, but was quickly startled awake by what happened next.
The driver of the truck explains that it was very dark that night, though they were not far from the bar known as Chris’; suddenly a large white object that resembled a plastic bag floated onto the road, in front of the truck.
Hitting the breaks instinctively, the witness was still unable to keep from hitting the white, floating object. Surprisingly, when they hit the object, there was a tremendous crash, and the truck was jarred, just as if they’d collided with a heavy metal object.
At this point the passenger was startled awake by the crash; the driver pulled off to the side of the road so that the two of them could search the area and determine what it was they’d hit.
Although they search in all directions from the truck, they could find nothing to indicate what the flying object was.
The people who told me these stories did not, and still do not know each other, and neither one of these people knew of the other’s sighting.
If anyone else has ever witnessed something like this, I would very much like to hear from you. Please email me your story here.
