Balloons and Booms Over Salt Lake City Area
Residents reported a sonic boom over a 30 mile area followed by two strange balloons drifting southeast of Salt Lake City. An unmarked black craft was seen with two small jets nearby. Major General Maxwell E. Rich ordered an Air National Guard unit to identify the objects as investigators sought the cause. Local weather balloons were ruled out due to lack of odor and unrelated equipment.
