UFO? Caught on tape: A strange object seen in the skies over Salt Lake City.

[Bladerunnuh]

Looks like a blimp of some kind, just kind of space-age-y

[Phyllo]

It is a blimp...the builder has already clamed it

[saganite]

There’s nothing UFOy about it. Some kind of blimp. Kind of elongated though.

[tightwadbob]

This has already been figured out. A guy built it and is now in trouble with FAA, FBI etc.

[cripplecreek]

The guy says he’s built some 600 of them over the years.

[Brilliant]

Looks digital to me.

[thefactor]

a clam blimp?

Art Bell might not be of the same opinion....

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"Hey, Buddy. Wanna buy a UFO?"

[BitWielder1]

The fact that the image is sharp enough to be identified
makes it not-a-UFO. Sorry.

[Uncle Chip]

It’s a suppository blimp, I suppose.

[saganite]

I’ll have to tune in and find out. Ring that Bell!

[saganite]

It’s a suppository blimp

I supposit you are correct

[HereInTheHeartland]

That is very frightening to see.
It looks like a secret Nazi experiment that was secret until now.
It had something to do with cryogenics and preserving the Fuhrer.

[Old Professer]

Did he calmly clam it or did he merely claim to have clamed it?

[dennisw]

He's just doing the job space aliens are too lazy to do

[Lazamataz]

It’s a very phallic UFO.

Kinda an Unidentified Flying Organ.

"“If something like this is going to put the public in jeopardy, then certainly we are going to pursue [charges],” said Sgt. Rich Brady of the Salt Lake City Police Department."

Now that may Depend:

[SevenofNine]

What nice NY Tv writer like Rod Serling doing in Utah ROFL

[dinodino]

I’m delighted to see that space aliens use WWII-era technology—makes them less of a threat.

[mikrofon]

That probably caused double-takes when viewed from the side...

[prisoner6]

Hehehehe! I used...USED...to fill big trash bags with helium and let them drift into the air. Prolly NOT a good idea because I live within a couple of miles of Pittsburgh International.

[Reaganesque]

Is that a UFO you have there or are you just glad to see me?

[Gorzaloon]

Shhh.

You were supposed to tape a 6' sheet of Reynold's Wrap to the bottom seam as a "tail".

Sometimes when they rotated, it would go "Stealth", "Echo","Stealth", "Echo"... It must have been hugely entertaining to the nearby Naval Air Station.

Ahh, Youth.

[afortiori]

Looks like Rosie O’Donnell misplaced her “marital” aid.

[uncitizen]

The fact that the image is sharp enough to be identified makes it not-a-UFO. Sorry.

I didn't say I believe it. I said Art Bell might pick up the story.

[Grunthor]

How can anyone see that and NOT think “blimp” immediately?

[Fiji Hill]

USS Los Angeles Over New York City

[HHFi]

Funniest thing to me about this is that all the witnesses were saying it was over 100 feet long, and it turned out to be less than 30 feet long. Of course, when they spot a REAL UFO and report that it was 100 feet long, one mile away, and traveling at 200 mph, all against a blank sky with no reference points, then those figures are perfectly accurate.

[BenLurkin]

That is definitely not ‘not of this earth’.

[vetvetdoug]

We used to take dry cleaner bags and tape the bottoms and fill them with natural gas. Then we’d tape a cigarette to a book of matches and let it fly. It would be several minutes before it exploded. Many times we’d get on our knees and pray to the “God of Fire” and those that were walking past us when it ignited were dumbfounded. I wonder if kids today are this inventive?

[alfie]

it is a blimp. said so on fox.

[lowbridge]

That's not a UFO.

Real UFOs dont have tail fins on them.

I mean...oops.

I didnt say nuthin'.

[prisoner6]

My coffee is now through my nose and soaking into my keyboard!

[humblegunner]

What is clamed?

I hope it isn't painful or contagious.

[ViLaLuz]

Umm, where did you get the “natural gas”?

[Gorzaloon]

We had a tank of hydrogen we had to get rid of..Some local junkyard bought a load of used "Air" cylinders and this oddball was in it. Thinking back about aerial trashbag sacrifices, we were pretty lucky none of them lit when we were launching them, attaching the crude "fuse". I always thought hydrogen was supposed to burn with a colorless flame, but I guess the plastic bag colored it. One of them made a perfect smoke ring of flame at a couple of hundred feet! We were never able to get that again, though. I wish we had taped dozens of bottle rockets to the bag by their fuses! The ones that whistle! Imagine!

[seemoAR]

The funniest ufo that I heard about involved a buzzard. Someone caught it and waited to just after sundown, tied a long rope on one of its legs. A burlap bag was tied to the other end. The bag was soaked in kerosene and lit. The bird was released and it flew upward in circles.

After it looked back a few times, did it go supersonic?

[seemoAR]

I do not know that that actually happened. It was told as the truth. I would imagine that the bird would break a speed record. I have wondered what happened to the poor bird and if it set any woods on fire.

There was a male student that slept a lot more than normal when I was attending College. Someone caught a buzzard and tied its wings so it could not fly. We took it into the sleepers room one day. He was sleeping as usual and one of my friends placed the bird on the boys chest. When the boy woke up he was nose to beak with the bird.

He was very angry when he finally calmed down.

In some cultures, seeing the Big Bird is a foretelling of Death, you know. It could have really fried his CPU...!

"To see a buzzard in your dream, symbolizes death and decay. It may represent an ugly aspect of yourself".

And:"Moulting and songless birds, denotes merciless and inhuman treatment of the outcast and fallen by people of wealth. "

[Erik Latranyi]

Obviously not a UFO because......

It was filmed by someone who knew how to use a camera.

It was filmed by someone who did not live in a trailer park.

It was filmed by someone who didn’t own a “Who Farted?” hat.

I could go on and on.................

[MinuteGal]

The history of this country shows how back-yard and garage and corn-field experimenters in many aspects of flight contributed to the development of U.S. air superiority.

From the Wright brothers on down to the mechanical geniuses, their fiddling with contraptions led to us having at least some kind of aircraft prepared in the years before the onset of World War I.

Now, it any inventive fiddlers put something up in the air over a cornfield, they're investigated, and if found guilty, they're excoriated, fined, put on probation or put in the slammer.

So it’s am IFO.

[seemoAR]

I do not believe it bothered him in that way. He was a Son of the South and some of us tend to view things differently. We were very careful around him for quite a while. He was a person who would get ahead instead of trying to get even.

It's Flash Gordon


Calm down, I'm the new bandleader for the Tabernacle Choir.
