Full Description & Details

I reported this sighting a few weeks after it happened on the main UFO Database site in 1998. I was driving from Washington State thru Utah on my way to Penn. We had plenty of sleep the night before in Montana. Around midnight, after passing alot of ranch exits with signs ( no gas - no service); We headed up the mountain, I saw a road sign that said : Ogden , next exit.. My husband saw something in the sky that was not blinking. He was trained in special forces in the Army yrs. before, and he is very observant of visual information. I stopped our van and pulled to the right side of the highway, heading east. I, at first, being from Washington state ( I thought I saw a building, which resembled the Seattle Space Needle). All of a sudden I relized ; it was not a building because it began to move, that is : hoover over trees very slowly. I was in shock and could not take my eyes off the sighting. ( i refused to take the short time to even pick up a pair of bonoculars near me.[ What I saw was about the size of a football field, it seemed 15 miles away,] I could see the silvery like gleen from the craft. I hate to say "gleen" because I could tell it was silver color ,but no light reflected from it. It was shaped like a disk . the top of the disk was not very high , nor the base, thou it did have a bubble shape top and bottom, we were looking at it directly from a side view. the top was a bit more bubbled than the bottom. Thou both were very flat like. The bubble like top and bottom ended as the hull with windows taking up 95% , jutted out a bit with windows being the full corners of the craft. Now, The most daunting aspect of this craft was that their were huge windows, square shaped , wrapped around the craft. Now i did not see the other side of the craft ,The windows were so very huge , took up the full space of the hull of the craft. So the windows were many and huge. The windows glowed from inside the craft. It almost seemed like liquid light, which to me means that light did not illuminate outside of the windows, the light was contained inside the windows, As white light, very different than looking at at home with the lights on. So, the windows were hugh, over a few dozen windows, and I was obsessed on wondering who was watching us from the windows, was this military or extraterrestrial. The craft hovered above the trees ,right at our eye level,

for some minutes, and hovered behind trees ,so I pulled my vehical ahead and we saw the craft again ,same position , this happened one more time and then the craft seemed to go slowly again behind trees, yet the 3rd time it was gone, with in a few sec. I moved the van again, the craft was gone completly from sight. me and my husband did not talk about the sighting ;agreeing to just draw a picture of what we saw when we get to our distination. We were surprised to see , we drew the same thing., for we are usually difer on our opinions and view on things.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

It seemed to me to not be a craft from this planet, yet i could not tell whom was at its helm.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I heard reports from a few people I knew personally, whom were friends. I did not believe nor disbelieve them. One of the reports sounded outlandish, so I gave it no mind. The others talked of lights , which was feasable to me.

Other Comments

I believe that an investigation or thought should be on the question of how or why people could be in the same proximity of a UFO and only " one or some " of the people in the area or area's seem to become aware of the UFO/UFO's , no matter of the factor of: size-place-distance, and duration.
