Occurred : 6/16/1972 18:30 (Entered as : 06/16/72 18:30) Reported: 3/2/1999 00:28 Posted: 4/2/1999 Location: Provo (south of), UT Shape: Disk Duration: several min. Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object, The object changed color
Strange bright cloud moved with car for several miles, then zipped off as silver saucer. 1972, moving from Illinois to California. Going south out of Provo, Utah on a 2 lane highway. Notice a strange, bright cloud up off my right front. Seemed close, maybe 1/8 to 1/4 mile. It seemed to tag along for sevetal miles and I started to take more and more interest. All of a sudden this thing takes off, turning into a perfect silver saucer. I couldn't believe it! When I came to my senses I got my camera out of the glovebox and started shooting in the direction of the craft, still driving. The saucer zipped across the desert and way to the west I could see the late day sun glint off the object as it now hovered over mountains in the distance. When my pictures were developed I only had one photo with a glared fuzzy object in it. I am currently looking for someone with digital enhancement equip. to look at it. Now for the final words. I know what I saw.
