Narrative:
I was talking to slc approach. I intended to land at slc and was inbound from the north. I departed slc, flew north about 40 mi and then returned. Alc approach told me of the traffic which I saw at 12 O'clock position. He was approximately 500' to 800' above and 5 mi. He was doing steep turns. At approximately 2 mi the plane turned and appeared to aim at me and started to descend. I had to swerve hard left to avoid the collision. I thought the controller had been talking to him also. I told the controller it was a close miss. I'm not sure why the other plane made a turn directly into me and descended to my altitude. It was like he wanted to hit me.

Title: ONE SMA APPEARS TO HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FLY DIRECTLY AT ANOTHER SMA ENROUTE TO SLC.
Narrative: I WAS TALKING TO SLC APCH. I INTENDED TO LAND AT SLC AND WAS INBND FROM THE N. I DEPARTED SLC, FLEW N ABOUT 40 MI AND THEN RETURNED. ALC APCH TOLD ME OF THE TFC WHICH I SAW AT 12 O'CLOCK POS. HE WAS APPROX 500' TO 800' ABOVE AND 5 MI. HE WAS DOING STEEP TURNS. AT APPROX 2 MI THE PLANE TURNED AND APPEARED TO AIM AT ME AND STARTED TO DSND. I HAD TO SWERVE HARD L TO AVOID THE COLLISION. I THOUGHT THE CTLR HAD BEEN TALKING TO HIM ALSO. I TOLD THE CTLR IT WAS A CLOSE MISS. I'M NOT SURE WHY THE OTHER PLANE MADE A TURN DIRECTLY INTO ME AND DSNDED TO MY ALT. IT WAS LIKE HE WANTED TO HIT ME.
