A strange blue object was seen over Utah County on January 27, 2012.
Confession and documentation of the creation and release of this crude homemade "UFO":

Direct quote from ASMITHSCULP's video description:
"If you saw these lights and were wondering what it was, well guess no more. This "UFO" was launched as part of a contest to expose the logo for the website "Freelancer.com".
This "UFO" was launched on Friday January 27th from my back yard in Lehi, Utah. Although the video is short, I was able to track it and follow it for nearly fourty five plus minutes as it slowly drifted south over American Fork and down the East side of Utah Lake towards Prove and Spanish Fork. After it began drifting to the East I quit tracking it.

Basically it was a piece of steel wire with wooden dowels as cross beams, I used about 16 feet of blue LED strip tape, and four cheap "LED projectors" with the LED light unit pulled out. My blue lights weren't long enough to complete the circle, so I just filled the gap with a small multicolor LED light string. I then hung the Freelancer logo underneath. KSL news ran a story on it Saturday night, the 28th. Both in the 6 o'clock, and 10 o'clock broadcasts, and is already creating quite a bit of buzz.

[Sheilaaliens]

@zanaelf because you didn't read the description :)

[clnmyjts]

if its against the law to fly these things after dark at night why do they put light on them?

[Sheilaaliens]

@clnmyjts he just wrapped lights around wires... theres no law against that i dont think

Its only because i know ufos are real we really don't need to make hoax videos. People like the asshole who did this are so stupid. Wolves really exist.... So you little boys should not have to cry wolf when you don't see one

[franksucka]

Ummm, it looks like two completely different objects to me.

[lotsofsmarts]

Just curious Sheila... I have looked at this guy's website and he did several video's in Jan-Feb of 2011. That was it. None of his video's looked anything like this and I am wondering if he is taking credit where credit is not due?

Andrew Smith is an amazing artist.
