1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
The daughter and son-in-law were coming up to each side of the colony pass and as near

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:13,320
as I, it sure was about 920, between 9 and 930, and it was not raining, it was dry, and

3
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:18,000
I was laying on the front gate against the window and looking straight ahead, and as

4
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,360
we were coming up the hill I kept noticing this cloud with the flash kind of like a neon

5
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:28,120
light, and the first thought was that it was lightning behind the cloud, you know, and

6
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,440
I got looking, the sky was all clear with stars in it, and I raised up and I told Ted,

7
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,440
I said, what the heck is that?

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,440
I said, you know, storm up there?

9
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:35,440
And he says, well, he says, did you notice it?

10
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:40,440
And I said, yeah, and the kids in the back says, my gosh, we're getting into a thunderstorm,

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,440
it isn't even raining.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,440
And so we kept looking at it, and I looked all around, the sky is clear, and Ted says,

13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,440
well, it's just one big cloud like that.

14
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,440
So as we were approaching, I can't estimate it must have been maybe three miles to the

15
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,440
top of the pass.

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,040
As we came along the highway, and we noticed the cars were slowing down, but nobody saw

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,920
it, and we stopped, and of course we slowed down, and over to the right, there was a clearing

18
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:08,400
in the area, and I would say probably about two or three blocks off of the highway, you

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,720
could see just straight landing, it dropped down like kind of a gully down below, which

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,720
you couldn't see the bottom of, but the land was straightened and it dropped.

21
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:21,160
And in this area was this huge light like, you couldn't see an actual light, just a

22
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:26,040
different reflection like, it was just millions of neon lights in it, and it was going kind

23
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,040
of off and on, like a heartbeat.

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:33,040
And as it did this, we could see where this was shooting up into the sky and making this

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,040
cloud do this.

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,040
And we kind of slowed down, and we all were wondering what in the world my daughter who

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,040
always says that she's seeing thoughts there, and she says, my godmom, she's just

28
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,040
flying thoughts, and I go, I see the highways probably doing some work, and they lift this

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,040
up.

30
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,040
And Ted says, well, I wonder why the flash, and he says it's the weirdest thing he ever

31
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:55,040
seen, and it was foggy in some areas, and there was just a light fog hanging in there

32
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,040
that made it look like, oh, I guess kind of a misty looking thing.

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,040
But it was just something I had never seen before, and it's been bugging me, and I told

34
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,040
Ted, I said, well, we should call or stop in North Bend, so we followed the traffic, and

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,040
there wasn't one car ahead of us that stopped in North Bend, everybody just kept running

36
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,040
and going through.

37
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,040
Well, I was going to call yesterday, and I didn't know who to call, so when I come to

38
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040
work this morning, I tell them to keep quiet, you're going to think I'm nuts, but I just

39
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,040
told them what we've seen.

40
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,040
And this one gal, she says, well, start calling around and tell somebody why not what it is,

41
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,040
because it's really been bothering me.

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:30,040
But it was, I've never seen anything like this, and you couldn't see no actual anything

43
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:36,040
except the reflection or the lighting, the glow, and it would go off and on.

44
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:41,040
So I called Bellevue State Patrol that the Al Times told me, because they didn't have

45
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,040
the I-5, so I was freeway.

46
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,040
To see if there was any construction, so she got on the line and she said there was no

47
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,040
construction of any type going on up there where they were using any lights, so I can't

48
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,040
figure out what in the world this strange looking thing was.

49
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040
And I was wondering if you could get any other calls.

50
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,040
Not from that area, no.

51
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,040
Well, it was really weird.

52
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:07,040
Okay, now, can you give us any estimate as the exact location that you were involved there?

53
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,040
Well, it was the east side, it seemed like we were just about to the top of the pass,

54
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:17,040
probably about two miles from the top, and it was on the right side of the highway, on

55
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:18,040
my side.

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,040
I see.

57
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,040
And we were just in the middle of the battle, and we weren't.

58
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,040
We would pass the, I first noticed the cloud shorten after Lake Ketchels, that on the left

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,040
side, that big lake.

60
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,040
Right.

61
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,040
Okay, as we were coming around up in there, you kind of get a straight highway, and this

62
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:40,040
is when we noticed this cloud business, this one cloud, and then we drove up, oh, I don't

63
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,040
know, I couldn't even tell you, it didn't take too far, and then this clearing was there.

64
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,040
And then this big, round, huge, glowed light that was going off and on.

65
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:54,040
Quite, well, it wasn't a fast off and on, it was just like a regular neon light, and it

66
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,040
reminded me of the reflections of neon lighting, very, very bright.

67
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:03,040
And then, of course, we went on by, and then I turned around, we kept watching in the back

68
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,040
window, and you could still see it doing it.

69
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,040
And then as we were driving in closer to Seattle, we had gone on how far we had gone, and in

70
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:16,040
the hill, I kept looking at everything then, I noticed this real bright green type, shiny

71
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,040
light, and it kind of made a big glare, and then it disappeared, and then it kind of, in

72
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,040
the trees, this was in the trees, you could see this type thing again, and so Ketchels

73
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,040
was probably beacons for an airplane, but as we thought they were red, I don't know, but

74
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:34,040
this is an extremely bright, clear green, and then the same type of a glow.

75
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,040
And I think that, and I'm like, God, what in the world is happening around here?

76
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,040
We travel that path all the time, and never have I seen anything like that.

77
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:45,040
And I'm not cracking up, but I am quite concerned because I can't believe what I think.

78
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,040
Okay, do you have the approximate location for that green object?

79
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,040
Oh, Gully, you know, I'd have to ask my husband.

80
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:57,040
But it was in a more dense, wooded area, quite close to the highway.

81
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,040
Yes.

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,040
Like coming into North Bend, I think.

83
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,040
Okay, now getting back to this first object, you say that it was in a Gully?

84
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,040
No.

85
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,040
Was this a very deep Gully or fairly shallow?

86
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:12,040
I would say that it was, I couldn't tell because what I'm trying to say is the land was level.

87
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,040
Yes.

88
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,040
And you could see the horizon of the kind of drop down, and how big it, how far it dropped down.

89
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,040
I don't know, but you couldn't see.

90
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,040
My daughter said she'd seen something extremely bright in it, but I didn't.

91
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,040
All I seen was the reflection of the glowing light.

92
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040
Okay, would you say that this was sitting on the ground?

93
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,040
Yeah.

94
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,040
Okay.

95
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,040
And was it dark when you came through there?

96
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,040
Black, yeah.

97
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,040
It was dark in the morning, around the 30s.

98
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,040
Is there any possibility you would recognize that again if you went through?

99
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,040
I think so.

100
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:41,040
Okay.

101
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:42,040
I would have.

102
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,040
And this was just all light.

103
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,040
Now what was the color of the light?

104
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:55,040
The same color of the reflection of the neon light in the night was, well it was definite white,

105
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,040
but yet kind of this Gully, it's very Gully.

106
00:05:58,040 --> 00:05:59,040
Florescent type?

107
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,040
Yeah.

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,040
Okay.

109
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,040
And it pulsated very similar to a heartbeat.

110
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,040
Right.

111
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:06,040
Okay.

112
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Were there any other colored lights involved?

113
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:08,040
No.

114
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,040
Okay, all white.

115
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,040
And then it was foggy in the area.

116
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,040
Now whether this was fog or what, I don't know, just kind of hanging over.

117
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,040
It was the areas looking.

118
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,040
This is what upset me so bad.

119
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:24,040
And it looked like vapors, but yet it looked like it could have been a light fog or something.

120
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,040
That's about the best I can explain it.

121
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:32,040
Okay, do you have any idea just a visual estimate of how far away the object was?

122
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:41,040
I would say probably a mile to two miles in at that far, a mile in, not even a mile maybe.

123
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:46,040
So Steve and my husband probably, they're better at distance than I am.

124
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,040
Yes.

125
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,040
And he was telling me, I said, did you call anybody on that night?

126
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,040
I said no, I don't know where it started.

127
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,040
I said, I think we're nuts.

128
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:54,040
And he says, nuts, Kelly.

129
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,040
He says, I can't believe it.

130
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,040
My daughter didn't sleep all night long.

131
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,040
She's been upset ever since she's seen it.

132
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,040
Because it's, I don't know, it's just something you just are breathtaking when you seek it.

133
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,040
It's so strange.

134
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:05,040
Yes.

135
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040
And it's the honest I got through.

136
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,040
I'm no letter, cook or anything else.

137
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,040
I'm here, I work at a hospital.

138
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:15,040
And it's just been driving me nuts in one of the lab checks as you call in and find out

139
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,040
or you're not going to rest until you do.

140
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,040
And I said, they just tell me there were construction lab.

141
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,040
I would be satisfied.

142
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,040
But there's nobody that would have an area that big with construction lights.

143
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,040
I mean, in that type of a glow.

144
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,040
Well, we've been getting a lot of UFO reports in this area in the last week.

145
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,040
Well, I believe it now.

146
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,040
After saying that, there's no way I was against them.

147
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:38,040
But after saying that, I'm a firm believer now because I just know that wasn't right.

148
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:41,040
Well, what you have described is it fits the pattern.

149
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:47,040
So it's really no different to just pulsating light, especially this is what is known as

150
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,040
electromagnetic energy field which surrounds the vehicle itself.

151
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,040
And it lights up just like a light bulb or a fluorescent tube.

152
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,040
And this is one cloud.

153
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,040
The cloud kept pulsating.

154
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:05,040
And in the center of the cloud, it was more predominant kind of a, well, I don't know if it was

155
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,040
the orange, dirty yellow or something in the center.

156
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,040
And it just looked the whole entire cloud.

157
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,040
This is why we thought it was lightning at first.

158
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:19,040
But after saying this, and you could see the vapor, not vapors, but the lighting was just

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,040
like, well, when they opened a new building, you know, they had these big lights outside.

160
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,040
Right.

161
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,040
And this is how it, this is what was affecting the cloud.

162
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,040
I see.

163
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:38,040
If you would like, I could have my son-in-law or husband call in and they could give you more detail on the distance and stuff like, you know, that, because I know a big judge

164
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,040
the distance is just, if that would help you any.

165
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,040
Yes, could I have your son-in-law's name?

166
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,040
Steve.

167
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,040
And that happened at about 9.20 p.m. when that was...

168
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Yeah, because we got into Seattle about, we got home about 10.30 and I was trying to look at my watch.

169
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,040
I told Ted, I said, I want to see what time it is.

170
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,040
And I couldn't see my watch.

171
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,040
And he looked at his and he said, looks to be around 9.20.

172
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:03,040
Uh-huh.

173
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,040
So I, it's just, it's just really weird.

174
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,040
I feel better after talking to you that I haven't flipped my litter.

175
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,040
I think that's, that's, that's the way it is.

176
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:13,040
I mean, to be honest with God, true.

177
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,040
And that was Monday night? Sunday. Sunday night.

178
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,040
That would be the night of the 31st.

179
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,040
Right.

180
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,040
They're the ones that gave you our number?

181
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,040
Yeah. I see, okay.

182
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:30,040
And you figure that was about two feet, or excuse me, two miles from the summit on the east side?

183
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,040
Yeah, well Steve and Ted could tell you that more.

184
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,040
I would assume because I was so engrossed and so excited about that.

185
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:41,040
And then after seeing this other thing that I couldn't, it just, we weren't to the top of the patch yet.

186
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:42,040
I know that.

187
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:47,040
And I think I would recognize the area again because you're driving along and it's very wood

188
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,040
and all of a sudden there's this big hole in the trees that are cleared out

189
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:54,040
and then you can see quite a ways into the, you know, back in there.

190
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,040
Right.

191
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,040
And then you hit a bunch of trees again, you can't see.

192
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,040
Okay.

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,040
But it's not my imagination, I'll tell you.

194
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,040
Well, a lot of people are seeing a lot of things.

195
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,040
Yeah, I can believe it. I kind of left at it, but after the four of us slowed down the car and looked at it

196
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,040
and then when my daughters started getting excited, we weren't cranking up, that's for sure.

197
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,040
We're also coming back from east of the mountains.

198
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,040
Oh, great.

199
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,040
And I thought I'd just give you a buzz.

200
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,040
Okay, so do you give us a description of what you did see?

201
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Well, it's about a mile or a half a mile before you got to the summit.

202
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:39,040
And what it was like, it was something that was art-welding at night with a super big art-weather.

203
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,040
And that's what it was illuminating, the clouds.

204
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,040
And that's about what it looked like.

205
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:47,040
It was white in color and it was flickering on and off.

206
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:53,040
And finally, just before we got to the summit, there's a large gap and it was a real super bright light, real bright.

207
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:58,040
And it lit up the whole area, but it was still flickering, it wasn't a steady light.

208
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,040
And that's about basically what it was.

209
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,040
Okay, what was the color of this light as you saw?

210
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:04,040
It was white.

211
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Straight white.

212
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,040
Yeah, it was white, but it was illuminating a large area.

213
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:15,040
And I just forgot it, you know, when I passed by it, I just figured someone was working down in here or whatever.

214
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:21,040
And when Ted was talking about it this morning, I said, hey, that's all the same thing.

215
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040
No, you said it was illuminating a large area.

216
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Are you speaking in a ground area?

217
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,040
Okay, it was kind of hard to say.

218
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,040
It was illuminating the clouds, the clouds were low tonight.

219
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,040
I see.

220
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,040
And by what I mean by large, large area of clouds.

221
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,040
Right.

222
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,040
As far as ground space, I don't know.

223
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,040
Okay, and did you stop or did you just proceed on?

224
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,040
No, no, I just proceeded on by.

225
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:48,040
But you could see it for a good, I'd say a good half a mile through a mile.

226
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:49,040
I see.

227
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:53,040
And it was almost right on top of the summit there.

228
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:59,040
And, like I said, I just forgot about it until Ted and I talked about it this morning.

229
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,040
But I don't know.

230
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,040
And you figured the time about what on that?

231
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,040
9.30, 9.30 quarter to 10.

232
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,040
Okay.

233
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,040
You know.

234
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:15,040
Okay, do you have any visual estimates of how far away that was or how far it was off the highway?

235
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,040
The highway?

236
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,040
I'd say a good half a mile.

237
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,040
Half a mile, okay.

238
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,040
Yeah, or...

239
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Yeah, I'd say half.

240
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,040
Okay, now would you say that the object or the light itself was on the ground?

241
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:33,040
Yeah, because it was, I wouldn't say on the ground.

242
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,040
But it was going up into the clouds.

243
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Right, it was going up into the clouds.

244
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,040
Right, so it would have to be from the ground up, but I don't know how close the ground was.

245
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:48,040
I see, okay.

246
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:52,040
Do you hear that with anything for size?

247
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,040
For size?

248
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,040
God, no, not really.

249
00:12:56,040 --> 00:13:02,040
Okay, just holding any small article at arm's length about how big would it be?

250
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,040
Like a coin or a...

251
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,040
Oh, you mean the space at the left?

252
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:08,040
Right, right.

253
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,040
Oh, God, no, I would say maybe half a football field.

254
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,040
A half a football field, okay.

255
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,040
Yeah, that was illuminating up the clouds.

256
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,040
It was a very satellite, it was a large area.

257
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Yeah, okay.

258
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,040
And time of observation.

259
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Time to record it to 10.

260
00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,040
Yeah, okay.

261
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,040
Well, this is great.

262
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,040
We're trying to get enough data so we can get up there.

263
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,040
You figured about one and a half miles from the summit.

264
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,040
Hmm, either, yeah, one to a half mile.

265
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,040
One to a half mile, okay.

266
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:47,040
Let's see if we can get somebody up there and take a look at that area.

267
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,040
Well, we sure appreciate your calling, Larry.

268
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:50,040
Okay.

269
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
And if you see anything in the future, let us know.

270
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,040
And if we get any real good information on this,

271
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,040
why if we happen to get a crew up there and find anything, we'll let you know.

272
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Yeah, fine, thank you.

273
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,040
Thanks again.

274
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,040
This is a UFO reporting center in Seattle.

275
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,040
I wonder if we could get a description of what you saw.

276
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:11,040
Oh, well, I didn't even get the good shot because I was sitting at the car and my wife thought.

277
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,040
She said, I had to start a light, you know, because it was so foggy up there

278
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,040
just before you start going up the path.

279
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,040
And, you know, you couldn't help but miss it, you know, all the lights being on.

280
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:24,040
And it was just like a radiation flow or something, you know, it was just up and down,

281
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,040
but it was so foggy, you could see it in the clouds up there.

282
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,040
It was really bright, you know, and we were just driving through,

283
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,040
and I wasn't seeing anything up, and I said,

284
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,040
oh, they must be working on the road, there's some construction, you know,

285
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,040
because it was so bright.

286
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,040
And, you know, my wife, she's got, they have a Monte Carlo,

287
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,040
and she was looking through the little window there, and then she goes,

288
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,040
no, look, it's white, it's white, I'm going, oh, yeah, sure, you know.

289
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,040
She goes, no, look at it, you know, but we kept on,

290
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,040
apparently we kept on looking behind us, and it kept on,

291
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,040
just keep on going and going and going, you know.

292
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,040
And so we didn't figure what it was, but, you know,

293
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,040
I thought it was going to train on construction,

294
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,040
but on Sunday night, we weren't sure.

295
00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,040
It was really bright, you know,

296
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,040
you couldn't help but miss it if you're on the freeway.

297
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:06,040
Now, how far would you say just a visual estimate was the object?

298
00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,040
Oh, about a half a mile.

299
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,040
I see.

300
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:14,040
And it was all light, white light?

301
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,040
Yeah, it would just reflect, you know,

302
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,040
just like fog was coming, you know, it just shone right straight up in the air.

303
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,040
Uh-huh.

304
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,040
And we looked, we went by, you could just go right through the trees

305
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,040
and see it, just bright and shiny, there it was, all light.

306
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:30,040
And it was, you know, it was kind of different, you know.

307
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,040
So that's what she said, she was going to call somebody and find out.

308
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,040
Well, was there any indication that the source of this light was on the ground?

309
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:41,040
Yeah, you could see right through the trees, you know, what trees there was.

310
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,040
Because I remember when I was driving, when we drove by,

311
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,040
I can't say maybe a half a mile, maybe a mile or maybe even less,

312
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,040
to that first hotel or, I don't know, what shirt it is,

313
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,040
on the left side road as you're going up to the path.

314
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,040
Yes.

315
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,040
That's about how far it was away, because it was on the right side,

316
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,040
and I just turned around from looking at it,

317
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:02,040
and then there was that lodge or whatever it was on the left-hand side.

318
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,040
That would be the first lodge heading west.

319
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:08,040
Right, it was, it's the old Swiss-looking hotel,

320
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,040
I'm not sure what it was, it was all lit up too, you know, all the lights were on.

321
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,040
But it's about a, I just, you know, good thing I looked at it and I turned around

322
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,040
and I remember looking right at that.

323
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,040
And so I spent about a mile away from that and about a half a mile in.

324
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:23,040
Well, then the object was giving off enough light so that you could see

325
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,040
that it was in the trees.

326
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,040
Oh, you may drove by, they couldn't miss it,

327
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,040
and help them seeing it.

328
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,040
I see.

329
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,040
Because they just, you know, the whole sky was lit up from it.

330
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,040
It was just, it was bright, you couldn't miss it.

331
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,040
Could you give any estimate on the size of that,

332
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:40,040
comparing it with something?

333
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,040
Well, that's, you know, that's, the only thing I could think of,

334
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,040
at the time, being so bright would be a skylight,

335
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,040
but it was even bigger than that I would think.

336
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,040
Of course, that was so, so, so damp and foggy,

337
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,040
or cloudy, I guess, that they foggiered more cloudy.

338
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,040
You could see it right in the clouds, it was,

339
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,040
the clouds were down low and you just, the light was right into it.

340
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,040
And it was bigger than a skylight, because that's the first intention I had,

341
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,040
was that, you know, they must be exploding or something,

342
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,040
and they were gripping light on what they were doing,

343
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,040
so they'd make any mistakes, you know, and they had to think of.

344
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,040
I said, well, it must be a gigantic skylight,

345
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,040
but it was straight up in the air and it wouldn't be doing any good.

346
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,040
Yes.

347
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,040
Well, in other words, this, this, the light which appeared to originate on the ground

348
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,040
was shining as a solid beam up into the sky.

349
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Or was it just a reflection in the sky?

350
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,040
No, it looked, well, could be, I mean, it just, it was there,

351
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,040
when you look in the clouds, there was, there it was.

352
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,040
You could look through the trees and it was all white,

353
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,040
just like a bright light was on.

354
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,040
It was kind of, you know, like a radiation, it was just, you know, there.

355
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,040
I really didn't pay that much, you know, I was staring at it, you know, and stuff,

356
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,040
but I wasn't really thinking of what it could have been, you know,

357
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,040
I was just going, oh, yeah, look at that, you know,

358
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040
because you couldn't help from this,

359
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,040
and anybody was on the freeway, they had to see it.

360
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:48,040
Yes.

361
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,040
It didn't reflect light into the vehicle did it?

362
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,040
No.

363
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,040
That wasn't that bright, okay.

364
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,040
And was this a steady light?

365
00:17:56,040 --> 00:18:01,040
Uh, yeah, as far as I remember it was steady, yeah, up in the sky,

366
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,040
I paid more attention to Aaron, Karlie, my wife was,

367
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,040
and Alice were looking into the trees,

368
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,040
and I was just staring up there trying to figure out what the hell it could be.

369
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,040
Yes.

370
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,040
And, you know, then we kind of disappeared,

371
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,040
they'd light on the ground, because, you know,

372
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,040
I was looking up in the sky and Karlie, Alice said,

373
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,040
she was really paying attention to it, she was, oh, I can't see it.

374
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,040
And she said, turn around and look, you can see it right through the bushes again,

375
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,040
you know, the trees, you go see it, see it, and I turn around and I go,

376
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:29,040
oh, yeah, there it is, you know, and after that we lost sight of it again.

377
00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,040
Uh-huh.

378
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,040
But it was definitely on the ground, because you can see,

379
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:34,040
she started pointing to me again to look behind me,

380
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,040
and in the car you can see it again, sitting down there.

381
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:43,040
Okay, I think that, uh, we'll just send a crew up there tomorrow

382
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:45,040
and look around and see if we can find anything.

383
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,040
Okay.

384
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,040
All right, thank you very much for talking to us, Steve.

385
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,040
Uh-huh, you bet.

386
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:50,040
Okay, bye.

387
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,040
Uh, yes, uh, who are you at now?

388
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,040
Uh, the UFO Reporting Center in Seattle.

389
00:18:57,040 --> 00:19:01,040
Is that the, is that the one located in the Boingfield?

390
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:06,040
No, that would be the FAA Center in Boingfield.

391
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:12,040
This is a private organization, we've been in service in this part of the country for 20 years.

392
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:18,040
No, I have a listing here of several phone numbers that were given to me,

393
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:23,040
and I just wanted to fewer the people that, uh...

394
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,040
We are also known as Phenomenal Research.

395
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,040
Oh, yeah, yeah, that's the name that was given to me.

396
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,040
I think I've got your phone number down here somewhere.

397
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:32,040
Uh-huh.

398
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,040
Well, that's correct.

399
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:41,040
The strange part about it is that this particular object was on the ground when I first saw it.

400
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:43,040
Uh-huh.

401
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,040
It wasn't in the air.

402
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,040
Uh, there's a street intersection in Tacoma here.

403
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:52,040
The one with me is in Arturo, and one of them is a side street that goes off, and it's a dead end,

404
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:58,040
and it happened to be more in the shadows of the main street that I was on.

405
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,040
As I approached that intersection, it just happened to glance to the left,

406
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:10,040
and, uh, here on the ground appeared to be what I thought was a lantern burning.

407
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:15,040
Uh, it didn't have a big light.

408
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:16,040
It didn't have a bright light.

409
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:20,040
It was more like a lantern that somebody had left burning that.

410
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,040
Uh, by the time I saw it, I called it to my western kitchen.

411
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,040
Just about that time, it started to rise off the ground.

412
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:36,040
And the glow from it, as near as I could describe it,

413
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:41,040
the glow from it showed a frame like a fair.

414
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:49,040
Uh, I could distinguish what looked like a thin pole for thin poles,

415
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:57,040
and, uh, in a sort of a box-like contraption that would resemble a box kite in the vertical position,

416
00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:01,040
but it had no, it had no covering over it.

417
00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:02,040
Yes.

418
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:09,040
In other words, it appeared to be transparent, but I could detect the shadows of something that looked like four poles,

419
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:16,040
maybe the size of my, uh, maybe thumb or something like that, you know, about an inch in diameter, if they were round, I don't know.

420
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:21,040
Uh, I mean, the first thought I was, I would say about 60 feet from it.

421
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,040
Uh, I paced it off about 20, 25 paces,

422
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,040
approximately 55, 60 feet from it on the ground.

423
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:37,040
And, uh, it was probably about six feet high at the most, between five and six feet high at the most.

424
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,040
That is the frame like a fair.

425
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:45,040
And I would judge about two or two and a half feet in diameter, although I didn't know whether it was round or square,

426
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:49,040
because I couldn't detect, I couldn't detect any covering on it.

427
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,040
Yes.

428
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:56,040
Well, the minute I saw it, and I called it to my western kitchen, it began to rise off the ground.

429
00:21:56,040 --> 00:22:05,040
And since we were, it was to our left, I rolled maybe 20 feet more and put on the brick and pulled over to the side.

430
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,040
Life went on one door and I went on the other.

431
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:15,040
And it was rising, of course, and it was rising, uh, right over our heads.

432
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,040
In other words, it drifted over our heads going in a suddenly direction.

433
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:29,040
And, uh, it passed over, just about over our car, I would say, no more than, oh, no more than 30 feet over the car.

434
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,040
And I was able to look right up underneath it.

435
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:39,040
And the glow that I saw in the grutter resembled a lantern, actually in the air, uh, resembled two crossbars,

436
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:48,040
equal distance crossbars, which were glowing, about the color of, uh, bright ember caution light at night.

437
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,040
Yes.

438
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:58,040
And, uh, this thing, uh, there again, I estimated to be two to three feet in, either diameter or square,

439
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:04,040
but since I couldn't see no frame around it, no, no shape of it, I couldn't tell when it was around,

440
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,040
or square, there was no covering around it.

441
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:14,040
And it rose in a vertical position, but it went off on a tangent towards the southwest.

442
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:21,040
And it rose about the speed of a gas balloon that, uh, you let go at the fairgrounds.

443
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,040
Yes.

444
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,040
And it goes up into the sky.

445
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,040
That's about the speed to which it rose.

446
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:35,040
Well, uh, shortly after I stopped, another car stopped by the young seller from Fort Lewis, Bobby M.

447
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,040
And he asked me, what's that?

448
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,040
I said, this is a dart, if I know what it is.

449
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:46,040
And then, a minute or two later, a couple of young kids came running up from a couple blocks away.

450
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:53,040
They pointed in the direction where they came from, and they said that they had seen it close to their place,

451
00:23:53,040 --> 00:24:00,040
and it had gone over some houses and disappeared from view from their view, uh, and over some trees,

452
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:01,040
and they couldn't see it.

453
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:07,040
And you were running in the direction, and it had gone, and evidently it had gone in the direction to where I saw it,

454
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:13,040
and it had come down onto the ground again, and then it took off where I saw it.

455
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:20,040
But, uh, all of us watched it go, and, uh, maybe watched it for three or four minutes,

456
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:25,040
and then I got to the ocean, all of a sudden I should get to a phone and call up the court Air Force Base,

457
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:31,040
because it was drifting off in their direction, and in southwest from where we were,

458
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:38,040
and, um, uh, I figured that maybe they could pick it up on radar, or maybe send the plane up.

459
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:44,040
Well, I live about a mile and a half from the location that I saw it, and everything went dark around there,

460
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:52,040
because it was 12.30 at night, and, um, I, uh, told my wife to get in the car, and it spoke,

461
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,040
and I haven't even darkened, I didn't want to follow in somebody's door in the middle of the night,

462
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,040
and ask them to use a phone, because it probably wouldn't anyway.

463
00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:59,040
Right.

464
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:05,040
So, um, we drove home, uh, quite hastily, and, uh, on the way home,

465
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,040
and I looked back, and actually I made a right-hand turn, and was going down away from it,

466
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,040
but when I looked back, I could still distinguish it in the sky,

467
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:19,040
and it was glowing with the same intensity that it did, uh, when it passed over my head.

468
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:25,040
Uh, there was no fire, no heat, no sparks, uh, I'll say there was heat, I don't know,

469
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:29,040
I couldn't, uh, I didn't get that closer, but there was no sparks, there was no fire,

470
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:35,040
it's as far as a flame-like affair, there was no smoke, there was no motion,

471
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:45,040
excepting that, uh, rising on a tangent, and, uh, I got to the phone,

472
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,040
and of course I had someone getting through to the right party at the court,

473
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,040
and after I got through to what I thought was the right party, he said,

474
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:56,040
well, I'll give, I'll call alert and tell them about it,

475
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:01,040
and, uh, he didn't even seem interested in taking my neighbor's phone number, although I gave it to him,

476
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,040
and, uh, that was that.

477
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,040
I went back to the location where I had seen it take off the ground,

478
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,040
shortly after that I took a bright light with me,

479
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
and I showed the headlights on the spot where it had been sitting,

480
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,040
but I couldn't see a thing on the ground,

481
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:22,040
and it indicated anything like, burners, smoke carrier, anything.

482
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:28,040
Yes, actually, actually it was, it was in the, in the middle of a street that was a dead-end street,

483
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:37,040
but, uh, not very well used, and, uh, it was about, like I say, about 60 feet from the left side of the,

484
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,040
the right side of the artisan that I was traveling on.

485
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:47,040
The next day I tried to contact the court and see if I could get some information from them

486
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:52,040
on what they had seen or done, but I couldn't even get through to the same party that I had talked to.

487
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,040
Of course, I was calling in the daytime, and this had happened,

488
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,040
and late at night maybe the same crews were on, different crews were on at that time,

489
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:01,040
and I don't know.

490
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:09,040
I called the tribune to see if, uh, if there had been other reporting of, uh, some were denied,

491
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:15,040
and they said that a man had reported seeing something in the far-off distance about 10.30 that night

492
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:22,040
that he couldn't figure out what it was, and it was sort of a bright light, but, uh, that's all the tribune knew about it.

493
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,040
I see.

494
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:30,040
They didn't, uh, well, on the next day, uh, a reporter called me and asked me all kinds of questions about it,

495
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:35,040
and, uh, oh, any number of questions, and what did he apply?

496
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:40,040
I don't know, he didn't ask me questions, I'm telling you, I know,

497
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,040
but he asked me all kinds of questions, and he was really interested in so far,

498
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,040
but, uh, I don't think, I think he just dropped it to figure out just another one of those things.

499
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:55,040
But, uh, this is something that, uh, I very definitely saw, and very definitely experienced,

500
00:27:55,040 --> 00:28:01,040
and, uh, I puzzled at what it is, and I'm not, uh, staying awake at night trying to figure it out,

501
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,040
but at the same time it's quite a puzzle.

502
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,040
Okay, was that Dead End Street inspected during the daylight hours?

503
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,040
I did, yes, I went back during the daytime.

504
00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,040
And nothing was found?

505
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Nothing, nothing was found or seen, and, I mean, uh, there was absolutely nothing to indicate that, uh,

506
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,040
this particular object had been there the night before.

507
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,040
Are there quite a few homes there?

508
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:25,040
Well, there's homes, uh, in that area, but, uh, there's sort of a brushy,

509
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,040
small brushy area between the homes and the areas.

510
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,040
I see. What street was that?

511
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:37,040
Well, the street that I was on is, uh, was South 56th Street, uh, between Pacific Avenue and, uh, McKinley Avenue.

512
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,040
Pacific, uh, 56th Street runs east and west.

513
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,040
Uh-huh.

514
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,040
I mean, for many winter clothes.

515
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,040
Uh, slightly, yes.

516
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:51,040
Well, Pacific Avenue runs almost north and south, and McKinley Avenue, we live on, runs almost north and south.

517
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,040
Uh-huh.

518
00:28:52,040 --> 00:29:03,040
Well, the 56th Street is an arterial between those two, and, uh, it was, uh, at 56th and B Street.

519
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:09,040
Now, B Street is a dead-end street on the left going east.

520
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:17,040
Uh, on the right, uh, it is not B Street at all because there's a jogging there, and there's a big church on the left.

521
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,040
I see.

522
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:23,040
But it passed over our car, and it passed over, and the church went off in the south of the direction.

523
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:30,040
This was a 1230th night at the tap that I saw it, and, uh, it was a rather clear night.

524
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,040
I can see a long distance.

525
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,040
About how long, uh, did you observe the object?

526
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:40,040
Well, I see we watched it for, uh, three, four, five minutes.

527
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,040
Uh-huh.

528
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:48,040
Did you by any chance get the names of the, uh, other people who had stopped or the youngster that came up to the scene?

529
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,040
I wished I had. I did not.

530
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:52,040
Okay.

531
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,040
That's something I, uh, would have to say.

532
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,040
It probably never will in my lifetime ever happen again, but it never does, boss. I'm sure.

533
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,040
It's just names.

534
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:04,040
My wife and I are the only ones that's been truly collaborated.

535
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,040
But these two boys, or this group of boys, uh, stated that the object had-

536
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,040
Just two boys.

537
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:13,040
Uh-huh. That it had apparently landed where you had first seen it then.

538
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,040
Uh-huh. Yeah.

539
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,040
Well, the two boys came running and they said they pointed off in that direction.

540
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,040
We lived down there. We had, so we shot down there, and they, we couldn't tell what it was.

541
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,040
They came running in the direction that they saw it go.

542
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:35,040
So obviously it hovered over, or passed over the houses rather low, and then it, uh, it went down again onto B Street where I shot.

543
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,040
Okay.

544
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,040
And that was about 10 p.m. when you first started it.

545
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,040
It was 1230.

546
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,040
1230.

547
00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:48,040
Yeah. This other fellow that, uh, told the Tribune that he had saw it had seen something.

548
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,040
He said he saw it around 1030, that thing.

549
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:51,040
About 1030.

550
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:57,040
Now, whether he saw the same thing or not, I don't know, because he didn't see it close. He saw it far away in the sky.

551
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:58,040
Right.

552
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,040
And did you get the name of our organization from a source in Tacoma?

553
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:09,040
Well, it so happened that the next day after, well, this, this was a 1230 night and about 4 in the afternoon, that same day.

554
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,040
This is 1230 in the morning, I should say.

555
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:12,040
Yes.

556
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,040
P.M.

557
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:14,040
P.M.

558
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:21,040
4, about 4 o'clock that same day, I called the court to see if I could get any information, and they couldn't give me no information at all.

559
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:28,040
And they suggested that I call Washington, uh, Washington State, uh, Civil Defense and Olympia.

560
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:34,040
Now, why I don't know what they did. So I called Washington State Civil Defense and Olympia.

561
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:40,040
Some girl answered the phone down there and she said, oh, we don't handle anything like that anymore.

562
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:47,040
And I don't know if they ever did, but she said, uh, she said, I can give you the phone number of some people to call.

563
00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:53,040
And she mentioned, uh, she mentioned your, your, your group, a lot of our research.

564
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:54,040
Uh-huh.

565
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:59,040
When that number, she gave me that number, P.O. Boxing, D.O.7, I think.

566
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:08,040
And she also gave me the name of a number of Washington State, uh, Center for U.S. Post Studies and Fort Renton.

567
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:14,040
And, uh, Washington State are not exploring in Fio, Seattle.

568
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:20,040
Uh, I didn't call either, either one of these.

569
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:25,040
Because I thought that, uh, maybe the reporter would do something about it.

570
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:31,040
Uh, once, he, uh, when he was calling us the following day, he asked, of course, all kinds of questions.

571
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:38,040
And I told him who I had called and the names that I had gotten from Washington Civil Defense and one of them was yours.

572
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:42,040
He said he was going to follow it up, but I don't think he ever did.

573
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,040
And he never got a call from him to do it.

574
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,040
No.

575
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:51,040
Well, that is the situation as it stood, and I just left it that way.

576
00:32:51,040 --> 00:33:01,040
It's a, uh, it's a peculiar situation as far as I'm concerned, because, uh, until now I was neither a believer nor a disbeliever.

577
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:04,040
I just figured that maybe it's so, maybe it isn't so.

578
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,040
You know, you just don't dwell on the subject.

579
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:11,040
And even today, I don't dwell on it because, uh, whatever it is, it is.

580
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,040
And that's all there is to it.

581
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:17,040
I can't, uh, I can't, I don't have the answer to the mystery.

582
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:24,040
And, uh, I'm not, as I said, I don't, but the time to lay a week at night, right?

583
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:28,040
Keep a week at night trying to solve a mystery that isn't solvable as far as I'm concerned.

584
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:29,040
True.

585
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:32,040
Okay.

586
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:37,040
It's been a puzzle and, uh, I can assure you we weren't drinking.

587
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,040
Well, we sure appreciate, uh...

588
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,040
It's a question everybody's been asking me.

589
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,040
Every time we talk about it, what you have to drink.

590
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,040
Oh, yes.

591
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,040
Well, that's common.

592
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:46,040
Uh...

593
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:51,040
We sure appreciate your talking to us, and if we get any additional information on this, we'll let you know.

594
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,040
Well, I would be very much interested in additional information.

595
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:56,040
What is your name?

596
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:59,040
Uh, Bob Gribble, G-R-I-B-B-L-E.

597
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:04,040
You know, I think that's the name I got from the...

598
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:05,040
All right.

599
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:08,040
When I get that name, wait a minute, let me look through it.

600
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:12,040
And that name written down here someplace.

601
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:14,040
Phenomenal research, Robert Gribble.

602
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:15,040
Uh-huh.

603
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:16,040
That's right.

604
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:21,040
That's the name that was given to me by this office, and I'll look it.

605
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:22,040
All right.

606
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,040
So, every day, they know you people.

607
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:25,040
Very good.

608
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,040
They know about you.

609
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,040
That's great.

610
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,040
Uh-huh.

611
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:29,040
Well, I thank you again, sir.

612
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:30,040
Okay.

613
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:31,040
All right.

614
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,040
Good night.

615
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:35,040

Good night.

Good night.

630
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:50,040
Good night.

631
00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:51,040
Good night.

632
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,040
Good night.

633
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:53,040
Good night.

634
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,040
Good night.

635
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Good night.

636
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:56,040
Good night.

637

Good night.

639
00:34:58,040 --> 00:34:59,040
Good night.

640
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:00,040
Good night.

641
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:01,040
Good night.

642
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,040
Good night.

643
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,040
Good night.
