Or maybe it was lol

[utahrican801]

It was a UFO RC helicopter wouldn't be that bright

right on cue: "come rescue me...."

[raoninery]

its a RC helicopter look at this channel /user/ikeosaurus#p/a/u/0/7CN51­vfwLSo

[technishawn]

I was sitting at the back of the Arena and watched this thing. It was in no way a UFO it was a small remote controlled device. I watched it go down and land right behind the stadium. It was just someone watching or filming the concert with a remote controlled helicopter or something.

Considering the aliens in the cartoon just before the first encore this must be part of the show

[ikeosaurus]

This thing is a multi-rotor r/c helicopter. i know because I was controlling it. look at my videos if you don't believe me. I didn't think anyone would be able to see it; I certainly didn't want to cause a disturbance or distract anyone from the concert they paid good money to see.

@ikeosaurus Nice...yea we were all pretty distracted from the concert.

[didizinhoqtama]

I was in that tour in Brazil and i didn't see anything like this, freaky :s

[jakepreslar3]

Didn't go to the show, but I do live in SLC and I did notice this same thing... had/has me wondering what was going on ...

[Sunz0r]

aliens like U2 , good to know ..

[ajaxrulzz]

They want their Spaceship back (:

[eltrono22]

UFO maybe.............

[RainyDarkForest]

Aliens wanted to enjoy the show, obviously.

[jahkristjanfari]

I saw it too. I think it was either part of the show (seemed to correspond with lyrics in the song about satellites), or just some U of U students who had an RC heli.

[Lu2283]

@jahkristjanfari I don't think it's part of the show because I've been to other shows on this tour and have not seen it.

[ikeosaurus]

@jahkristjanfari congrats for the simplest explanation is usually correct prize. it was a U of U student with an R/C heli (me).

i saw one like this here in norway 4 days ago ..

[RU2Sirius8675309]

What are we being prepared for?

[RU2Sirius8675309]

Thanks for filming and posting this. My attention was also captivated by these lights, and I was seated at the back of the stadium and much closer to them. Definitely not an airplane or a helicopter through my binocs.

Only thing I could think of was a remote controlled toy helicopter/hovercraft with lights attached. Perhaps U2 incorporated this into their show?

It did not move like a toy, though. It darted up-down and left-right with good speed, and was very high up above the stadium.

@RU2Sirius8675309

We thought that it could have been part of the show too as the colors seemed to coordinate and it is posted in several places on the net that others have seen similar things at u2 shows.

[ZaphBot]

People from outer Space wanted to see U2.,.. well there are better bands to see,. they should stop for a Radiohead show

[mykenzysmom]

Of course it would have been very cool if that was a UFO from another planet! :)



[mykenzysmom]

I saw this too...it maneuvered up and down like one of those really big remote controlled toy helicopters or a remote controlled toy hovercraft with those spinning colored lights on them. I could vaguely see the bottom of it and it did look pretty "toy like" now that I think about it.

[Lu2283]

Well and there was a helicopter that flew by later and it didn't match up at all. I'm pretty convinced it was a UFO.

[AngelinaEXiT]

I could see it. It was not an air plane! And the color was strange.

[CalmNoise]

THATS a UFO!  Good catch!
