A Utah resident was left stunned after capturing what appeared to be a multi-colored triangle-shaped UFO flashing across the night sky.
The unidentified Reddit user, who goes by the name Stew of crunches On the platform, they uploaded a 50-second video of the May 2 sighting from their home in southern Utah.
The video showed a small orb in the sky that was rapidly changing color. As the resident approached the object, the light went from red to blue to green to white in a matter of seconds and appeared to be surrounded by an aura.
“I was shocked by what I saw,” the person wrote on the UFOs Reddit channel.
They also claimed that this video is just one of a dozen unidentified phenomena that lit up the sky over southern Utah that night.
The unidentified Reddit user, who goes by the name Cruxstew on the platform, uploaded a 50-second video of what he claims is a UFO on Monday.
The video shows a small orb in the sky that rapidly changes color.
“This is one of over a dozen similar UAPs I saw that night,” the Utah resident wrote, before adding that there were “similar sightings by multiple people in this area.”
“The pulsating multi-colored light was triangular throughout the video until it disappeared,” the user added. “None of the other lights, when zoomed in, were triangular.”
“The triangular shape was not due to a lens artifact or distortion. The light was not coming from an airplane or satellite and was not stationary.”
“This is in the middle of the desert. There were over 15 of these objects in one hour,” they continued. “They were moving horizontally across the horizon at varying speeds, much faster than airplanes at apparently similar distances.”
Although they did not reveal exactly where in southern Utah they lived, the Beehive State is one of the best places to observe the unusual, according to research by University of Utah.
“I was shocked by what I saw,” the person wrote on the UFO Reddit channel. “This is one of over a dozen similar UAPs I saw that night.”
The western part of the U.S., including Utah, has a lot of flat land and open skies, offering greater potential for UFO sightings than in more mountainous or populated areas.
Additionally, Utah, Nevada, and New Mexico have ties to UFO conspiracies from Area 51 in Nevada to Skinwalker Ranch in Ballard, Utah, where secret government programs and the popular History Channel show The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch have recorded UAPs (unidentified anomalous phenomena).
“People are outside looking up at the sky,” said Richard Medina, an associate professor of geography at the University of Utah, in the study that looked at a 20-year period throughout the 21st century, from 2001 to 2020.
‘The idea is that if you have the opportunity to see something, then you are more likely to see unexplained phenomena in the sky.’

“There’s more technology in the sky than ever before, so the question is: what are people actually seeing? It’s a difficult question to answer, and it’s important because any uncertainty can be a potential threat to national security,” he added.
Moab, Utah is the number one state location for UFO sightings. It also ranks 22nd in the U.S., according to Axios.
Nearly every county in Utah had more UFO sightings per capita than the average of 34.3 sightings per 100,000 residents between 2020 and 2023, according to an Axios report.
The Salt Lake City metropolitan area had 47.1 sightings per 100,000 residents. Grand County had 340.9, while Wayne County had 315.
Despite the many alleged sightings across the United States, most UFO claims turn out to be balloons, drones, “air scandals” or military activity, according to Axios.
