Occurred: 2004-09-30 23:10 Local
Reported: 2004-09-30 22:27 Pacific
Duration: 2 seconds
No of observers: 1

Location: Salt Lake City, UT, USA

Shape: Circle
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aircraft nearby

I was standing on a balcony and was facing north/east. I saw a circular shape to the upper right side of my vision. It was much larger than a star, and was a very vidid, white light. As it got my attention, I focused on it. Just then, after being stationary for a very brief moment, it darted from being in the upper right of my vision to the lower left. Initially I thought I was witnessing a falling star, but I automatically knew that it was much too large. The speed at which the object left the upper right side of my vision and darted down to the lower left was way to fast to have been any type of aircraft. Also, the intensity of the light never changed. It was if it moved from the upper right to the lower left within a second and then just disappeared or blacked out.
