Narrative:
On climbout I caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of my eye about the same instant the first officer also saw that we had an aircraft rapidly filling our left windshield. We made a moderate pushover to level off the climb and the other aircraft, an small aircraft, passed over us at (my guess) less than 200'. I quizzed the controller if he had seen the aircraft ''AAAH, now I have a primary target north that vicinity', says he. He said he would check it out. Whatever that means. We were approximately 3-4 mi wnw of the airport and about 6500' MSL (2000' AGL). If I'm not mistaken this should have put us inside the slc arsa. I gathered the small aircraft had not made radio contact with approach control. We were not able to get a tail number of the small aircraft. I am filing a near miss report to FAA and NASA. Took off 16R made a right turn as assigned to heading 310 degree.

Title: SMA ENTERS SLC ARSA WITHOUT RADIO CONTACT AND HAS AN NMAC WITH A DEPARTING ACR AT 2000' AGL.
Narrative: ON CLIMBOUT I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF MOVEMENT OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE ABOUT THE SAME INSTANT THE F/O ALSO SAW THAT WE HAD AN ACFT RAPIDLY FILLING OUR LEFT WINDSHIELD. WE MADE A MODERATE PUSHOVER TO LEVEL OFF THE CLIMB AND THE OTHER ACFT, AN SMA, PASSED OVER US AT (MY GUESS) LESS THAN 200'. I QUIZZED THE CTLR IF HE HAD SEEN THE ACFT ''AAAH, NOW I HAVE A PRIMARY TARGET N THAT VICINITY', SAYS HE. HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK IT OUT. WHATEVER THAT MEANS. WE WERE APPROX 3-4 MI WNW OF THE ARPT AND ABOUT 6500' MSL (2000' AGL). IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THIS SHOULD HAVE PUT US INSIDE THE SLC ARSA. I GATHERED THE SMA HAD NOT MADE RADIO CONTACT WITH APCH CTL. WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET A TAIL NUMBER OF THE SMA. I AM FILING A NEAR MISS REPORT TO FAA AND NASA. TOOK OFF 16R MADE A RIGHT TURN AS ASSIGNED TO HDG 310 DEG.
