On this summer night i was returning from our local grocery store in town. I was in my truck heading towards my property on OLD AIRPORT RD. After i crossed SPANISH VALLEY RD.,there is a private drive that leads to my front door. By the time i was nearly a quarter mile from my front door, i had to sheild my eyes because there was something so bright in my line of vision i could not see what was ahead of me. At one point i stopped the truck, only momentarily, and looked at the what i will refer to as a "fireball". My first thought was that perhaps work had begun on JOHNSON"S ON TOP. I had heard some talk that a new housing complex would someday be available to those who wanted a breath taking view of Spanish Valley, from above. I was thinking some workers installed a giant flood light, about (and i am guessing), 30 feet off the ground. My mind was changed very quickly on this theory when this fireball started moving, very slowly, maintaining the same distance from the ground, but moving south, all along the surface of JOHNSONS ON TOP. i knew then i was looking at a UFO. I raced to my front door, beeping the horn, trying to alert my husband who was inside the house. I ran through the front door and screamed for him to come outside and see what i was seeing. He grabbed his very high powered binoculars and raced to the front of our house with me. At the first moment he looked, the fireball was no longer hovering over JOHNSONS ON TOP.It was seemingly nesteled among some stars WAAAAY up there! It was easy to spot. It was so much brighter than the stars it appeared to be close to. *(name deleted--SGonzalez/CMS)looked trough his binoculars and said,"it is not a star. I see what you mean. It is very bright. I dont know what it is. It is not moving, though"...after 12 minutes, doug was ready to go back inside when the fireball ZOOMED across the sky and then was very visible over the north end of the MOAB RIM. We watch in sheer amazement as the fireball headed over the city of Moab. It was visible hovering and moving over Moab, Utah, for at least 25 minutes. Finally, here is some crazy stuff, before the fireball "disappeared" from our view, we noticed the object now had blinking lights like an airplance. It just disappeaed after it was 10 miles or so away from us. Thank you for this opportunity to share this event with all. I have never seen anything like this before in my life and it feels like i witnessed something from beyond our world.
