UFO's over Utah? A local photographer snapped a picture this week that has people talking.
Tommy Woodard is a photo librarian for the Utah Film Commission, and this past Tuesday he took this photo in Provo Canyon.
Tommy Woodard, Photo Librarian, Utah Film Comm.: “Well it has the flying saucer shape that’s so familiar. A saucer, that’s all I can think of.”
Tommy was in the canyon shooting still photos for a possible film location. He says when he took the shot of the mountainside, he never noticed the strange object.
QUESTION: “Did you see that when you took the picture?” ANSWER: “I didn't. I had no idea it was there when I took the shot. So it really surprised me when I opened it back in my office. And I saw the disc shaped object, and the closer you get, it looks like a flying saucer."
His office co-workers found it amusing as well. Everyone has dropped by for a peek.
Not knowing what it was, Tommy contacted Hill Air Force Base to see if they had any planes flying in the area. He also sent a picture to the National UFO Reporting Center in Seattle. But the response from there was less than enthusiastic.
Tommy: "So he said it kind of looked like a bird. But, I mean, it must have been a bad picture I sent to him, because how can that look like a bird?"
Tommy Woodard enjoys science fiction so this has really peaked his interest. He says he wouldn't necessarily be disappointed if this turns out to be just a plane or a big bird. But if the mystery is never solved?
Tommy: "That'll be ok with me. It'll just be in the back of my mind for a long time!"
Since January, more than 1200 UFO sightings have been recorded on the National UFO Reporting Center website. There are two reports from Utah.
A flock of 17-year cicadas?
It's not a "possible" UFO. It is a UFO. It's an FO and it's U. Until it's an IFO, it's a UFO.
Myself, I think someone was skeet shooting in the woods.
If there is intelligent life in the universe, wouldn't they be smart enough to know not to visit this world?
It's light from Venus reflecting off swamp gas.
ROFL, we watched MIB last night also.
