Occurred : 5/17/1998 23:30 (Entered as : 05/17/98 23:30) Reported: 5/18/1998 00:08 Posted: 1/28/1999 Location: Salt Lake City, UT Shape: Triangle Duration: 10 sec. 2 times Characteristics: There were lights on the object, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
My father was outside looking at stars, and he came in to get me. He told me that he had seen three lights go across the sky at a very fast speed. While he was telling me all of this, we both saw two more of them go over us. They were going across the sky directly over us from South to North. They seemed to be triangular in shape with a dull white light comming from them. There were 5 of the all together, three the first time, and then two more about 5 minutes later. All five took about 10 seconds to travel from straight overhead, to when they were out of our sight. Neither time did we hear any sound whatsoever. Backgrounds: My father works in the electronics industry as a trainer. I work as a landscaper for a nursery
