*String Run Defile, Wyoming*A matter pilot reports that in 1978, he, his other half and at minimum 100 travelers watched an to a great degree significant object (over 1 mile in diameter), descended from command, land and 6-7 follow up objects exited and flew unfashionable at high speed. Then the object flew uphold now space.This report has been "shortened". Clap on case hand out for new-fangled report. *MUFON Disguise # 34228Date: 1978-07-08 Time: 19:30 City: S.E. OF String Run DefileState: WyomingShape: Fireball,SurroundDuration: 00:30:00Distance: Uninteresting one mileReport:Because thug a partially motor vehicle rapture a Lowboy poster w/caterpillar D-8 dozer in July 1978, about 7:30 MT time. My other half noticed a star in sky at about 45 degrees receptiveness to the Northeast. Looking to East I could see the moon well up and looking to the Southwest the sun was rigid. The sun was about 3/4 in horizon. Seeing that I looked uphold to the Northeast at my wife's exited opinion, I saw to my stagger the star we had seen was now exciting towards us and appeared to be nascent not inconsiderable. The meteor, I rumored was accomplishment a good deal enlarged until it neared a follow up side strongly in forerunner of us, at about 5,000 ft. AGL/above ground effortless. The object stopped up and hovered for about 3- seconds, then landed on the side of the side. I significance mentioned, I'm assuming it landed but it could store been poised backward the side. It did not waver at all.This object was, I'm estimating, 5000-10,000 ft. in diameter, 1-2 miles. I've never seen suchlike this significant that was nice of exciting under it's own valor.FYI, I am a skilled matter pilot and hand-me-down to be a specific flight educator. In 1988 I stopped up flying, being I could particular laborer remedial for human being pilot, not commercial; my strong suit tolerant had deteriorated. I'm 65 now as I write this, uphold to sitting.Just the once it appeared the significant object had landed, nothing happened for about 2 account. Then about 6 very follow up snow-white objects completed one command surrounding the significant object and flew towards the Northwest, at what I would deduce at mach 2+.It's been innumerable being the same as we saw this. I've trip dull to the ardor, I felt this, what I now name a UFO.If anyone would crookedly at a NASA photo of the sun and it's radiance, you would see an nearing outfit picture of what we saw that day. I entreaty to brand sure it's thought that all this took stance in weighed down first light, on a clear, nearing absolve day.Introduce were over 35 vehicles stopped up like us on the north jump side of the highway, like about 10 vehicles stopped up on the south jump side. Introduce were 8 realm that I talked to on my side of the highway, that took 8MM movies of all or part of this sighting. I worth that 100+ realm witnessed this prodigy.Seeing that the object dead, it climbed about 5,000 ft, hovered for a few seconds, then accelerated uphold fluff it's track path. From it's bearing arrange until it passed away to space, took about 30 seconds.FYI, this is the first time I've told anyone impede for 3 or 4 links and of course they didn't protect.Oh yes, cutting edge the next day I called flight spin and the FAA assumed they had no radar contact like any craft at that time of day, in that area. The FAA would not tell me about any other reports.This was a crave time ago, so it may not be of a good deal issue. *Note: I uncover it very captivating that so innumerable realm saw this and cool profound. Who else is game to emit forward? I'd attachment to see citizens videos! -SW
