I was travelling north on i-15 to the salt lake airport on january 19th 2016 to catch a flight. time was just past 10 a.M. and i had passed the lehi exit and was rounding that loop in the highway before you get to exit 289. there had been a light snow that night and what seemed to be low level grey clouds almost like an ice fog covering the northern portion of the skies and below the peaks of the mountains to the east. south of there the skies had cleared and in general the cloud deck seemed to be rising. as i came around on that broad turn on i-15 just north of lehi, some motion to my left (off to the northwest as i was on that highway turn) caught my eye. i was astonished by what looked to be a greyish (similar in color to the cloud deck) disk with structure and a central dome pop through the bottom of the clouds. it then quickly maneuvered on all three axis as it dropped clear of the cloud deck and then went back into the cloud hole that it had punched through. once it went back into the clouds i could see some swirling clouds and also part of a cloud wall on the far side of the cloud hole. the object was visible for between 5 to 10 seconds. the hole in the cloud deck lasted for 20 to 30 seconds. i couldn't believe what i had just witnessed! i was stunned as i continued driving on i-15. the size of the object was amazing and i would guess that the diameter of the object was on the order of 200 yards. once i reached the airport and turned in my rental car and then got checked in for my flight, i pulled out a couple of sheets of paper and immediately sketched out what i had seen and jotted my notes down as i sat in a quiet passenger lounge. i finished my notes and sketch by 11:40 a.M. that same morning.
