1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Do you have a reporting center?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Yeah, hi. My name is Bill Luton, Elk, Washington.

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Yes, sir.

4
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
And I guess a friend of mine just called and insisted I call you guys.

5
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
Yes, we'd like to hear about what happened.

6
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,000
Really? That's pretty weird.

7
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Okay, well, I'll tell you. About six o'clock last night, we sat in here and watched a TV.

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I lived out on the lake.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:23,000
Yes.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Okay. And the power went out and a bright light lit up the sky outside.

11
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I mean, real dark green light, but it's like daytime almost.

12
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And the first thing we do is start shutting down.

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,000
I don't think there's a power transformer or something going on.

14
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
And then it stayed for probably about 10 seconds.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
And then there was a weird hum too.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,000
And then the light shut off and our power came back on.

17
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
We thought it was pretty weird, so I went out and checked the lines.

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
There was nothing wrong with them.

19
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
And then it came back in and did the same thing.

20
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Well, listen, I was saying, me and my son, we ran outside and looked up.

21
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
And it was straight above us like a huge spotlight, but it's snowing.

22
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So you can't really see anything except this light.

23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
It's white and green light.

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
And then this weird humming was going on too.

25
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
My daughter fell but upstairs.

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And then it went off again and our power came back on.

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,000
So we kind of waited it out and it did it a couple more times.

28
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
And then we lost power completely.

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
And then about two hours later the same thing happened.

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
That light came on and we went back outside.

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:35,000
It was right above us again except this time it started off a big dark red wall of light.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Dark red and then it changed to green and that weird hum again.

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And then it stayed for probably about 10 seconds.

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Yeah, then it got purple and then it left again and we still didn't have any power.

35
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So that was just pretty odd.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And we were thinking there's not going to be any aircraft out here or helicopters in there.

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So we probably got a bit of a foot of snow out here.

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And there's no power lines above our house.

39
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
It's just not something to sky.

40
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
So it's pretty weird.

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
Now that humming sound, was it steady?

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Only when the light was on.

43
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Okay, now this light, did this just appear as a light phone or was there a beam or a cone of light?

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Well, it appeared as a light form at first when it was the dark green.

45
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So darn bright you really couldn't make out anything.

46
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,000
But the second time though when it started off red that was more like a round beam.

47
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
But then it split to the dark green again and then it lit up everything.

48
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Like the first incident.

49
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
Illuminated the ground.

50
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Yeah, and in the lake and the whole dog on sky.

51
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
That was out over quite a wide area.

52
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Yeah, it was.

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
As far as we could see.

54
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:58,000
And then it did it, when it did it once, the third time after the red ball,

55
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:03,000
then we were able to locate it and it was off to the little south of us.

56
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Like it was directly above us but it was to the right and then it lit up green again.

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
But the sheet with that sucker and light of red you couldn't tell really where that thing was coming from.

58
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000
I mean green you can tell where it was coming from.

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Anyway.

60
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Did you check with the power company?

61
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Yeah we called Inland Power who are power's through and they got about five reports from where we live at the same area.

62
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
One lady was on our street here that we live on.

63
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
One lady was kind of hysterical too.

64
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,000
So they had about five reports of the same problem.

65
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Okay, that's called Inland Power?

66
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Inland Power Company, right.

67
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Okay, located in Spokane.

68
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Newport.

69
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Newport, okay.

70
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Now how long did all of this take place?

71
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Over what period of time?

72
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Between probably about six o'clock to about...

73
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Okay.

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Between about six and eight twenty-five.

75
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Okay.

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
How many witnesses to all this?

77
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Uh, well it's me, my wife, my son and my daughter.

78
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Okay.

79
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Now when you looked at that light did it bother your eyes at all?

80
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Yeah it did.

81
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
You can look directly at it.

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000
You try to but yeah.

83
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Was there any pits or livestock in the area?

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Uh, just our cats there and how...

85
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
Could it seem to bother them?

86
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
They don't really flip right through.

87
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Okay.

88
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,000
You say your daughter could hear or feel the vibrations from that humming?

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Right.

90
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Okay.

91
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Okay, well we sure appreciate the information on that and if we come up with any more information during our investigation we'll let you know about it.

92
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Okay.

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Thanks a lot.
