1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
All right, what do you have to report?

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Well, I've had three women just advised of a sighting of a UFO south of us here.

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,000
And that's dead in point?

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Right, we're west of Spokane about 35 miles.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,000
And what was it they saw?

6
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Well, it was a triangular shaped...

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:34,000
like two triangles, one on top of the other with a set of landed type lights

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
and three red lights on it.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
No sound.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
I heard about 100 yards away from them.

11
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Okay, I guess that's all of them.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
And thank you very much.

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Okay, goodbye.

14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
I'm calling for the UFO reporting center in Seattle, Washington.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Yes.

16
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:03,000
And we've been advised that you were in a party that's spotted an unidentified flying object from 9 to the 25th.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,000
That's correct.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,000
I wonder if we could get a description of exactly what you saw.

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Well, at first I thought it was just a great big plane.

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000
But it stopped in Harvard right over our car.

21
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
We were on our way to town.

22
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
I saw a triangular shaped vehicle.

23
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,000
Uh-huh.

24
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:28,000
It looked like it was a double decker, if that's possible.

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And the middle part had two great huge lights, like, I don't know, just great big round lights.

26
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Were those white lights?

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Yes.

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
Okay.

29
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000
And then underneath, it looked like there were a lot of multicolored lights.

30
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
I saw mostly red.

31
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,000
My daughter said she saw green.

32
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
I didn't.

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Okay.

34
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
But I saw mostly red and white.

35
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
And I was driving, so I didn't get to observe as much as my passenger.

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:57,000
Okay.

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000
But that's essentially what I saw.

38
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Now, you say that the object covered over the car?

39
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
It stopped.

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Yeah.

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:11,000
I said, we could comment on it, because I've observed these bright lights for about a month or so now, and never been close to it.

42
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And we've been marching it from quite a distance away, and I said, oh, it's just a plane.

43
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
And then it started to move, like it was coming down for a landing, and it stopped.

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
It hovered over the car, enough for us to look at it close.

45
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
And then we got nervous and took off.

46
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
You stopped the car?

47
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,000
We were at almost a standstill, yes.

48
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Okay.

49
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,000
What road were you driving on?

50
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,000
We were on the Wilbur Highway.

51
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Okay.

52
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Now, did you see the object as it approached you?

53
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Well, we were both moving, and so it didn't really, it was just like a meeting.

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Like it was, you know, like we intersected.

55
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:56,000
It wasn't like it approached us, but just that we happened to be there.

56
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
The same time it did.

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Oh, I see.

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Okay.

59
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Did the object actually move across the roadway?

60
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Oh, yes.

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Okay.

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Oh, yes.

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Okay.

64
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Any idea of just how close that object came to you?

65
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:15,000
I'm guessing, and I'm not a real good judge of distance, but I would say the length of

66
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:20,000
a football field or two lengths of a football field, I'd say 200 yards maximum.

67
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
Okay.

68
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And there was no sound.

69
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
We rolled down the window.

70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
All we could hear was the motor of our car.

71
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Do you have any estimate of altitude at its lowest point?

72
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000
I would say that was its lowest point.

73
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Okay.

74
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
It would be 200 yards or so.

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,000
How about size?

76
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
It was big.

77
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:49,000
It's hard to say because there was nothing to judge it by, but I would say as big or bigger

78
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
than a 747.

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
It was wider across.

80
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000
It was probably Islam as a 747, but it was wider across.

81
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
I see.

82
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Okay.

83
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Now these, of course you were driving.

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Right.

85
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Did you have any chance to see what position those colored lights were in on the bottom

86
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,000
of it?

87
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
They just seemed to be all over the bottom.

88
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,000
Just scattered.

89
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Yeah.

90
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
There was no real pattern.

91
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000
And as I say, I didn't get to look at it as much as the two gals that were with me because

92
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
I was driving.

93
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Okay.

94
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
But how long did you watch that?

95
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:33,000
Well, I'd say a good, when it hovered over us or just how long total time we watched it?

96
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Total time.

97
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
15 or 20 minutes.

98
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Oh, wow.

99
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Because we watched it.

100
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
We spotted it.

101
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I live in a country and we were on our way to town and we spotted it six miles from my

102
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000
home, so we watched it for 11 miles.

103
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Okay.

104
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Now did the object move away from you or did you move away from it?

105
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Well, it was, it's just like the meeting thing.

106
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000
It was kind of both of us moving at once.

107
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,000
We were on our, it intersected us going east and west and we were going north and south.

108
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,000
Okay.

109
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
And did you watch it until it moved out of sight?

110
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Until our view was blocked.

111
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,000
I see, okay.

112
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:21,000
We watched it clear into Odessa and then we parked in front of the building that obstructed

113
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,000
our view.

114
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,000
All right.

115
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And I have checked with a couple more people around town and there have been a couple of

116
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,000
other people that saw the object in the sky but just thought it was a funny looking plane

117
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:33,000
or something.

118
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
And the times coincided and everything.

119
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,000
You say you've been watching these for how long?

120
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I've seen the lights off and on for a month or so, but you know, never, didn't really

121
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
put anything to it because they fly a lot of planes out of Moses Lake that fly with their

122
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
landing lights on it, so I just assumed that that's what it was.

123
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
I see, okay.

124
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And it could very well have been.

125
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000
You know, it could have been a plane with landing lights on that I saw, but this definitely,

126
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:03,000
the object we saw the 25th wasn't anything I've ever seen before anyway.

127
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Okay.

128
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Have you had any experiences or strange things happen to you since that sighting?

129
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Uh-uh, no.

130
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Okay.

131
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Except that people look at me kind of funny.

132
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
No dreams about it?

133
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
Um, I'd say my daughter was probably more apprehensive, had I?

134
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,000
No, I haven't had any dreams about it.

135
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:26,000
Okay.

136
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
You were driving at night.

137
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:34,000
Did you have any problems with the car or the lights at the time that it was close by?

138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Gee, no.

139
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
No.

140
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Were you playing your radio?

141
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000
No, we turned the radio down when we saw it because we were talking.

142
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Okay.

143
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,000
And about what time did that sighting take place?

144
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:53,000
Uh, between 7 and 7.30.

145
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I just can't pinpoint a time because I didn't think to look at my watch.

146
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,000
All right.

147
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,000
And what was the name of that highway where you were on again?

148
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
It's the Wilbur O'Death highway.

149
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,000
And you were driving from south to north or north to south?

150
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
We were driving north to south.

151
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
North to south, okay.

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:17,000
If we send you a form, could we get a drawing of the object that you saw?

153
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Oh, if that's I can, yeah.

154
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Okay, fine.

155
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:33,000
Um, one other thing I should tell you probably is that in thinking back on it, there was like, uh, small windows in the back, like an observation thing.

156
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,000
That's the only thing I had on the back of the vehicle.

157
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Uh-huh.

158
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
Were those lighted windows?

159
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,000
No, they were dark.

160
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
They were like shapes.

161
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
But I asked if she saw that too and she said, yeah.

162
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000
She thought that they looked like bits, unlike windows or something.

163
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Now, what color did this object have?

164
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Was there any color?

165
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
I couldn't see any color.

166
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,000
As I say, I didn't get to watch it that much because I was driving.

167
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Okay, but you could see the outline of this thing.

168
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Oh, yeah.

169
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,000
And the object, was it just dark?

170
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
It's, yeah.

171
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Mostly we just were, could see the lights, you know, there were so many of them.

172
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Uh-huh.

173
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
But, but we got a definite, I got a definite impression of being a triangular shape.

174
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Okay.

175
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Did you have the feeling that you were being watched when this thing stopped over the door?

176
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,000
It was spooky.

177
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Did it frighten any of you?

178
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:33,000
Yeah, my daughter, more than me, I wanted to stop and get out and look at it close, you know.

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,000
But she's only 14.

180
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,000
I didn't see any sense in really putting the fear into her.

181
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000
So we, we continued on our merry way.

182
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,000
And we walked toward on the way home, which was two hours later, but we didn't see anything.

183
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,000
Okay.

184
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Well, we sure appreciate your talking to us.

185
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And if we need additional information, could we get back to you?

186
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,000
You bet.

187
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Okay, thank you.

188
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Can I ask you a question?

189
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Yes.

190
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
Has there been other reports of sightings in this area?

191
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Well, we haven't had too many recently known, but then that doesn't mean things aren't being seen.

192
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Yeah.

193
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Oh yeah, I realize that.

194
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000
Because we have a problem of getting the people to report what they see.

195
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Yeah.

196
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Well, in checking with my friends in town, there were several that saw those crazy lights do and just thought, well, it's a plane.

197
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Right.

198
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Thanks a lot.

199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Thank you for calling.

200
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Bye-bye.

201
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Bye-bye.

202
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
I'm calling for the UFO Reporting Center in Seattle.

203
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
Oh, uh-huh.

204
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
And we understand you had a UFO experience on the 25th of this month.

205
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,000
Yeah.

206
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
So, if we could get a full description of just exactly what happened to you, what you saw.

207
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,000
Okay, I was driving into town.

208
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,000
I was about 21 miles out of town.

209
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Uh-huh.

210
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,000
And I was driving into town with my neighbor and her daughter.

211
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:56,000
And clear back at her house, which would have been about 16 miles from town.

212
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And it was just a real bright light off in the sky.

213
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000
And didn't think much of it at first.

214
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:11,000
And then, as we got closer to town, we were about five miles from town, the light started moving.

215
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:13,000
And it was real, real bright.

216
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,000
And then it would just get very dim so that you could almost not see it at all.

217
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,000
And then it got brighter again.

218
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,000
And it kept doing this.

219
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,000
And it was circling in this area.

220
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:27,000
And then we watched it for a while because we didn't know what it was.

221
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And then it started getting real low.

222
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,000
And too low for an airplane.

223
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
That's what kind of scared us.

224
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
At first we thought it was an airplane, a thumb kind.

225
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:46,000
And so we turned off the motor and rolled the window down to see if we could hear any noise.

226
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,000
To see if it was a plane or a helicopter or something.

227
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,000
There was no noise at all.

228
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,000
And it just kept getting lower and closer to our car.

229
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:03,000
And by this time we noticed there were two very bright lights opposite each other.

230
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:10,000
And then in between there were three red lights in particular that we noticed.

231
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,000
And they weren't real large.

232
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:18,000
They were like you would see on an airplane that size.

233
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:23,000
And so we sat there and watched it get lower.

234
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,000
And then it just stopped above our car.

235
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
Now your car stopped at that time?

236
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000
Yes.

237
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:39,000
And we approximated the distance when it stopped at about 100 yards in the length of a football field.

238
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Approximately.

239
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
It was dark out so it was kind of hard to tell.

240
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,000
But it was low.

241
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:52,000
And we could see the form of it because of the reflection of their lights.

242
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,000
The lights on the craft were reflecting off of it?

243
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:01,000
Well because of those lights we could see the form of the object.

244
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And it was a triangular looking thing.

245
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
And it was like there were two triangles.

246
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,000
One on top of the other with a connection in between.

247
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
A sixth connection.

248
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,000
And it seemed to us that the lights were coming out of this connection.

249
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
And the three red lights, the two big lights remained constant.

250
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,000
But the three red lights will blink for a while.

251
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000
And then they quit blinking and they were just red for 15 seconds.

252
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:42,000
And then they all three turned white and then they started blinking red again.

253
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Now were those changes in those lights related to the behavior of the object itself?

254
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Well I don't know.

255
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:51,000
It just stayed there.

256
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,000
It just hovered over the car.

257
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000
It didn't move at all.

258
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Well the lights were doing all these changes.

259
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:58,000
Well it was still stationary.

260
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,000
Right.

261
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
And then we took off.

262
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
We left because we got kind of nervous about it.

263
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,000
And then I watched it out the back window all the way into town.

264
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And after we left it started circling again.

265
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:22,000
And it just circled in that same area until we couldn't see it anymore.

266
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
Well we were in amongst buildings and things.

267
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:31,000
But our big mistake was we didn't report it right away.

268
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
I waited till I got home later that evening and called the Lincoln County Sheriff.

269
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:43,000
We should have reported it right away and possibly somebody could have gotten out there and gotten some pictures or something.

270
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Right.

271
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
But that's about all I can tell you.

272
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:52,000
We really checked it out because we were very curious about it of course.

273
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
And we wanted to make sure it wasn't an airplane or a helicopter or something that we recognized.

274
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
It was real different.

275
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Okay now what was the highway that you were driving on?

276
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,000
It was on the Odessa-Rober Highway.

277
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
That would be Highway 21 then.

278
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Yes.

279
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
And you were driving from what town?

280
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Well I was midway between Hankin and Odessa on the Coffee Pot Lake Road.

281
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Okay then you were driving towards Odessa?

282
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,000
Toward Odessa, yes.

283
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Okay.

284
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:33,000
And now when driving south like that headed for Odessa, which direction did the object appear at first?

285
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:39,000
It was west of us.

286
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Okay that would be to your right.

287
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:42,000
To our right.

288
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,000
Okay.

289
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,000
When we first spotted it.

290
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:53,000
Now when the object was directly over you did, who stopped first?

291
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,000
You were the object?

292
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,000
We did.

293
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:02,000
We had stopped to see if we could tell what it was because it was far enough away when we stopped that we didn't know what it was.

294
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,000
I see.

295
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:12,000
And so we rolled down the window and you know we were trying to figure out what it was because it was so low and it was just, you know.

296
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
Then did the object come directly toward you?

297
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Yes.

298
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:30,000
It was almost as if it turned around because this bright light got very dim and then as if it was turning around these lights came toward us very brightly and started getting lower.

299
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Like a plane, what if it was going to land?

300
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Right.

301
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,000
You know, just gradually got lower.

302
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:39,000
And that's when we really started wondering.

303
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:45,000
So we stayed there just to kind of check it out and then it just came over the car.

304
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,000
It wasn't directly over the car.

305
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:52,000
It was to the side, to the left of us, just enough so that we could see it out the side window.

306
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,000
But it just stayed there until we left before it did any moving.

307
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:03,000
Did the object itself have any color?

308
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Well, that's hard to say because it was so dark but I would say no.

309
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
I would say it was a long silver or gray color.

310
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,000
As far as I can tell.

311
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,000
The only color I saw were the red lights.

312
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Okay.

313
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,000
And I would guess it was a color, a silver color.

314
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Now you felt that it was about the length of a football field from you?

315
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,000
From the car, yeah.

316
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,000
And how about the altitude?

317
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
From the ground.

318
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:45,000
Well then, I don't know, not much more than that because we were on a flat.

319
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,000
We would end up on a hill or anything.

320
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
It was right on a flat wheat field.

321
00:16:51,000 --> 00:17:01,000
So just the length of the car, the height of the car, which might be about 5.5.

322
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000
I'm not sure.

323
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,000
That close to the ground?

324
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Yeah.

325
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,000
Okay.

326
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,000
Because the car is, yeah.

327
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:14,000
So the football length and then whatever the height of our car would be.

328
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,000
Okay.

329
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Away from the ground.

330
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,000
Did those lights illuminate the ground at all?

331
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
Hmm.

332
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I don't know.

333
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,000
It wasn't like, they weren't like a spotlight pointing down to the ground.

334
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,000
No.

335
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,000
They went out more to the side than down to the ground.

336
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:36,000
Okay.

337
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:43,000
Did you have any particular strange feelings when that object was sitting out there so close to you?

338
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,000
I was real nervous.

339
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,000
But other than that, no.

340
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:56,000
I didn't have anything strange to come over me or anything like that except that when it finally dawned on me what I might be looking at.

341
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,000
It kind of, you know, it made us nervous to leave that out of there.

342
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Did you have the feeling you were being watched?

343
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
Well, sort of, yeah.

344
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,000
Because this thing had just stopped, you know.

345
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,000
And of course we were looking out the window at it.

346
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:17,000
And I mean, I suppose you could say that, yeah.

347
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,000
Okay.

348
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
Had you believed in these objects before?

349
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,000
I have always believed in them but, you know, it's so different when you finally are looking at one.

350
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Right.

351
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,000
You know, I've never disbelieved that there is a possibility of that.

352
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000
But, but...

353
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:40,000
Did you hear any noise?

354
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,000
None at all.

355
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,000
We turned off the motor and listened purposely for noise.

356
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,000
But there was just none.

357
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Not even a word like a beater or something, you know.

358
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Right.

359
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,000
It was just a mild noise.

360
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,000
Okay.

361
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,000
Do you have any estimate on the size of that thing?

362
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:01,000
It was large.

363
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000
I was trying to think of that day to day what I thought the size.

364
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
I would say probably as big as a 747.

365
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Okay.

366
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
Now while you were sitting there watching or any time while observing that object,

367
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
did you see any additional traffic on the highway?

368
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Yes.

369
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:25,000
There was a car...after we took off, a couple minutes after we did, there was a car behind us.

370
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:31,000
And we watched it all the way into town to make sure that it was still there, you know, following us.

371
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
How long do you feel you watched that object?

372
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
Oh, you mean while we were stopped?

373
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,000
Right.

374
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,000
I probably know not much longer than a minute.

375
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Okay.

376
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,000
No car as well you were watching it?

377
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,000
No.

378
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Is that a fairly busy highway?

379
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000
Well, I would say so, so being clear out in nowhere, yeah.

380
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
I...

381
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Would you find that lack of traffic unusual during that period?

382
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,000
Well, no.

383
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,000
By busy, I don't mean that it's, you know, real bustling all the time.

384
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,000
Yes.

385
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,000
But there are cars going on it, you know.

386
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Okay.

387
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,000
But no, I wouldn't say that lack of traffic would be unusual for that road.

388
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,000
Right.

389
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:23,000
But there were quite a few people, you know, deaths there that saw that, that same night.

390
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,000
This neighbor that goes in with me had talked to some people in town that lives, had farms

391
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
in that area that had spotted it.

392
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:38,000
But nobody got pictures or anything, you know.

393
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,000
Okay.

394
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000
But they all, you know, were wondering what it was too.

395
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000
And I have noticed that, that same real bright light.

396
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:54,000
The night before, Wednesday night, I was coming back from Spokane and I noticed it.

397
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Would that be about the same area?

398
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Yeah, it was in the same direction, yeah.

399
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:03,000
Are there any special surface features in that area that you know of?

400
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,000
The natural or man-made?

401
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Ah, see, you mean like a...

402
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,000
The dams up there, hydroelectric plants?

403
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
No.

404
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Super substations?

405
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,000
No.

406
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:23,000
Let's see, there aren't any big things like that.

407
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,000
The only thing they're doing there right now is drilling well.

408
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,000
But it's just farmland.

409
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
So I...

410
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
What type of well?

411
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000
Water well?

412
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Yeah.

413
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Okay.

414
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Is there anything else you want to add to that?

415
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Well, I don't think so.

416
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,000
We tried to, you know, really think this out after we thought and make sure that what we

417
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,000
thought we agreed on and things like that.

418
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:58,000
So, you know, we just talked it over to make sure we knew what we were saying.

419
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:02,000
But we're all pretty sure of what we thought.

420
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,000
And we just sit there and watch it for, like I say, probably a little over a minute.

421
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Okay.

422
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,000
So...

423
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,000
Okay, we appreciate your talking to us.

424
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:11,000
Okay, thank you for calling.

425
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Okay.

426
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Bye.

427
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,000
Bye-bye.
