Something in the Sky over Sugarhouse Park, Salt Lake City - Utah
I remember looking up into a very nice clear day with no clouds - I was looking for clouds as my Grandfather had said there was not one in the sky - which we could see.
As I looked up around I noticed a spinning cylinder right above us - though very high. I remember thinking to myself "must be a satellite" - as I was ignorant of the subject. I looked at it for sometime off and on as I ate with my family. I pointed it out to my mother and grandparents and they also could see it - but they where more interested in me finishing my meal so I could go play. It was not alarming to us as we did not think about UFOs or such things – just figured it was suppose to be there.
I remember seeing sun light reflect off (flashing like) a more silver-ish side as it rotated above us. The other "half" was a blue hue.
Again, as I got older and re-thinking about how odd it was this satellite was so low that I could see it and it was not moving, just spinning above us. I learned that a satellite would not be stationary at the altitude I was seeing this object at. It was hovering and rotating on its axis at about once every two or three seconds. Very, very odd - still haunts me today as for my lack of understanding and realizing several years later that was not normal.
