National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 6/29/2017 05:15 (Entered as : 6/29/17 5:15) Reported: 6/30/2017 8:17:45 AM 08:17 Posted: 7/7/2017 Location: Taylorsville, UT Shape: Other Duration: 2 minutes Characteristics: There was an aura or haze around the object, The object changed color, There were aircraft in the vicinity or aircraft chasing the object
AS I was driving to work in the morning, I noticed a very bright object in the sky. It looked similar as a star, but it glowed brighter and brighter in the sky. I pulled over to the side of the road to study it--because it was brighter than Venus was at the time in the sky - and tried to load an app on my phone to identify the object. At this point, it got brighter and brighter and then turned from a glowing white-ish yellow to a orange orb. It got quite large-at least 4x the size of Venus in the sky and then quickly faded, until I could not see it anymore. I have searched the databases for any meteors or other events but could find none. This event actually repeated the following morning, 6/30.
