    Oh, lovely... the video link isn't working today??

    I will see if I can find this again.

    Did anyone else hear about a UFO over Salt Lake City this week?

    Worked for me. I also saw it on ABC News (Google). Hmmm. Talk about cigar shaped! It sure looks terrestrial to me. Anyone? What could possibly be the purpose of a long skinny thing like that? Thanks for posting it, Muse.

    I don't know what it could be - but I have not seen any photo or image of something like that before.

    My dad was telling me about this video, guess I won't have to look for it thanks.

    Do you know if that was actual video or a re-creation of the UFO?

    It would be funny if the Wikipedia reference-linkmystery-airship and cigar-shaped UFO's from the early days of UFOlogy made a come back.

    Here is the beginning of a sighting that happened in my hometown of Sacramento, CA. Click on the paragraph for the rest of the story:

    Eighteen ninety-six was marked by a strange occurrence, an amazing phenomenon that those that saw it probably never forgot. People, by the thousands, living across North America, from San Francisco to Chicago, observed strange lights in the sky. The lights, reportedly an airship, crossed the continent from west to east while the country watched.

    The excitement started on November 17, 1896 in Sacramento, California. It was a rainy, dismal night. Then, through the dark clouds, appeared a bright light. It moved slowly west appearing to be about a thousand feet above the rooftops. Hundreds of people saw the light including George Scott, an assistant to the Secretary of State of California. Scott persuaded some friends to join him on the observation deck above the capitol dome and from there they thought they could see three lights, not one. Above the lights was a dark, oblong shape.

    The most detailed report of the evening came from one R.L. Lowery, a former street railway employee who said he heard a voice from above call, "Throw her up higher; she'll hit the steeple." When he looked up he saw two men seated on a bicycle-like frame, peddling. Above them was a "cigar-shaped body of some length." Lowery said that the thing also had "wheels at the side like the side wheels on Fulton's old steam boat."

    The story was in the newspapers the next day:
