1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I was wondering if there was any reports of any meteorite last night.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
The only thing that we had was from the Auburn Valley area.

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
A bus driver in that area saw something coming out of this guy.

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Yeah, well, my wife and I were up at 1230.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
We had a power failure here at the apartment complex.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,000
And my wife, I wasn't in bed yet.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,000
My wife called me out the window and toward the north of my apartment window,

8
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,000
we saw it appear to be a flaming object in the sky.

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
And it proceeded up from the horizon up overhead.

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
And the real slow, it took probably about 15 minutes.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And it looked just like a flaming round object, maybe, quite a bit of a look.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
And it proceeded over the top of our apartment house,

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,000
and it stayed over the top of our apartment house for a good five minutes,

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
working over the other side.

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
And I got the field glasses out and looked at it,

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,000
and it looked the same size in the field glasses as it did with an ankle eye.

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
You know, I couldn't bring it any closer.

18
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000
So then it proceeded down toward my right ear and at the vicinity,

19
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,000
and it dropped down on the horizon a little bit,

20
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
and then it started getting smaller,

21
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
and little pieces looked like it started shooting out of it, ahead of it,

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
and we were real fast.

23
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And it looked like a flaming object from the crime boat.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
It looked like a meteorite in reverse.

25
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,000
Like the tail being the way it was coming from.

26
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
The tail was the pieces going out from front of it.

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Yes.

28
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
Okay, about what time was that again?

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
About 12.20 this morning.

30
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
I guess probably from about 12.10 or 12.15 to 12.30 we observed it.

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Okay, now which direction did this thing come from, do you remember?

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Well, when my wife respond, it was looking out of our window.

33
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Our window is apartment house, parallel to the SeaTac runway.

34
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:02,000
And I don't remember the runway, which runways are which,

35
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000
but we're looking towards the north.

36
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000
Okay.

37
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000
Probably northwest.

38
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And then it disappeared to the southeast or south,

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
but generally in a northerly, southerly direction,

40
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
maybe northwest to southeast.

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Uh-huh.

42
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And it was straight up in the sky above our apartment,

43
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
but it looked like it was going over a little bit.

44
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,000
As you look at it to the north, my wife said she thought it went over to the left more,

45
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,000
you know, towards SeaTac airport from the apartment.

46
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,000
Yes.

47
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
And then it started kind of changing course and came up over here.

48
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And how long did that stay overhead?

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Well, it was out of our sight over our roof.

50
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000
You know, we looked out both sides of the house,

51
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,000
and it must have been up there about this five minutes.

52
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Uh-huh.

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:55,000
It could have been moving across, but it was moving off the stove

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
by the time it got up overhead.

55
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I see.

56
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
It seemed like it was moving slower when it was overhead,

57
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:01,000
but we couldn't see it,

58
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:06,000
and it was coming up on the right.

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Now, my wife said the slower it moved, the smaller it got.

60
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:19,000
Okay, and this seemed to give off particles in the distance at one time.

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
Yes.

62
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
All the time during we went across the sky, we didn't see it losing any particles.

63
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
Yes.

64
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
But it was just as it went down in the south,

65
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
when it started getting a little bit smaller,

66
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
I had the grass on all the time then,

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
and it looked just like something shot out from it real fast two or three times,

68
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000
and they were little round fiery objects, like the color of it was.

69
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Were they shooting out in the same direction or different directions?

70
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
In the same general direction that it was going.

71
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,000
I see.

72
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
It was going to sound.

73
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Okay.

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
But it looked like they were getting smaller,

75
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
and it was getting smaller when this was happening.

76
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Yes.

77
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Steve, if we get any additional information on this,

78
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000
why don't we get back to you and let you know?

79
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
Okay, I'm sure it'd be interesting to find out.

80
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Yes, we're interested in knowing where you got our number.

81
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Oh, I called the flight service station.

82
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
I'm a student pilot.

83
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Oh, great.

84
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
And the flight service station can give it to me.

85
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Fine, thanks again.

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Okay, goodbye.
