"Young woman watching television while sitting on beanbag in bedroom observed a very bright green cylinder go streaking across the sky and disappear behind Hogsback Mountain. It seemed to be luminous green from within, and it lit up the whole area. At first, she thought it might have landed, but she could not be sure--it just went behind the mountain. Itappeared that "stuff was coming out the back." It illuminated the entire area with green light. the sighting was during the David Letterman program. A taxi driver had just left the stage, and Bill Cosby was about to come on. She called the police, who reported that two pilots in the area had reported a green flash. Also, two people in Brigham City had reported apparently the same event. She called the Utah State University the next day, but they said they didn't have anything flying that night.
