| Name | Michael C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I would say it "landed" from the point on the map where I was, to the south, south east of Draper Utah near Corner Canyon. I would say if you drew a line from My point, to this point 40.496994, -111.834320, based on me being able to see smoke, I would say its in between there. Any further south and the Suncrest Hill (about 5800 ft) would have been in the way of seeing it (I am about 4500 ft). If its aliens, I call dibs on naming rights. |
