1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000
I was given your number. I've been seeing something I'd like maybe you to explain to me.

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:14,000
We live on the Washington side of the river in C, in the Oregon, and every night about

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:22,000
all 15 to 7, I see this light the last three nights, and it's above the ridge of the mountain

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:29,000
and up in the sky, and it's real bright. At first I just thought it was a star, and anyway,

5
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:37,000
it stays on for about a half an hour, and then it moves slightly to the west, and then it slowly

6
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:44,000
disappears down the ridge of the mountain in back of it, and I wondered if you could give me any information

7
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
on what you think I might be seeing.

8
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I mean, this actually descends and goes behind the mountain?

9
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Right, and I called our neighbors last night, and they saw it too, and it looked just like a bright start

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:02,000
at then, but they watched, and I'd say a half an hour, so it just stays behind the ridge of the mountain.

11
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Okay, now about what time does this happen?

12
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:15,000
About 15 to 7, and I've noticed that all three gave me, and the day now, I saw in the daylight

13
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:22,000
a great big glowing object, and it looked like it was on the Oregon highway, and it was flashing.

14
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Like it was clicking, taking pictures, and I don't know if this had anything to do with it or not,

15
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
but it's really strange, and it's just got my curiosity up.

16
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Okay, now you're looking west or east, right, when you see this first object?

17
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:48,000
At miles, so I'm looking straight across, it would be, let's see, more south.

18
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Okay, and you don't see this object come up to start with?

19
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:01,000
No, it's just there in the sky shining, real bright, just like the star, only it's so much brighter.

20
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Right, pure white, and then after you watch it for a while, it just descends down behind the hill.

21
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
It slowly moves, there's a clump of trees there, and of course it's a lot higher than them,

22
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:22,000
but I identify by that, and it slowly moves sort of west, northwest,

23
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,000
and then all of a sudden it just goes behind the ridge of the mountains.

24
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And then it doesn't come up?

25
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
No, I never see it again.

26
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Okay, does this light have any defined shape of any kind?

27
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000
No, it doesn't, except that it, as I say, looks identical to a star, only it's so much brighter.

28
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000
Okay.

29
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:50,000
No, I can't, obviously would not be a star of any kind, no way.

30
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Uh-huh, and have you ever had any reports on anything similar?

31
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Well, yes, not in this area, but I mean this is nothing new, having glowing objects hovering and then dropping down behind the hill, I would say.

32
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Uh-huh, and you've been watching that how long?

33
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:16,000
It was three nights, and not only I had seen it, but my kids and like today now,

34
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
I saw this other thing that was glowing, and I got out of a telescope,

35
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,000
and it actually cast a light on the Columbia River, the river being real smooth today.

36
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:35,000
And I could see this light on the river, but when I went to get it on the optic,

37
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:41,000
then I couldn't see it at times, other times I couldn't, it was just bright, like a fireball.

38
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Well now, did that appear to be hovering just above the river?

39
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Uh, it's right along the Oregon Highway.

40
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
Would that be interstate 80?

41
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Yes.

42
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,000
Uh-huh, okay.

43
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Uh-huh.

44
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,000
And how long did you watch that?

45
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Well, it lasted about an hour.

46
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,000
And when did you first spot it?

47
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Oh gee, I got so excited about it, it must have been about, uh, oh, it had to be about 1130.

48
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
That was this morning?

49
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
Uh-huh.

50
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,000
And it then cast light in the broad daylight like that?

51
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
Uh-huh, and it was so brilliant that it cast this light right on the river,

52
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:22,000
and it looked like to me like it was taking pictures, like it was clicking, you know,

53
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
every time a truck heard car pass.

54
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
Uh-huh.

55
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And I have been lucky, thought it was just probably a road sign or something,

56
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:35,000
but I studied it too long, you know, there's no way it could have been a road sign.

57
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
Okay, could you give me an estimate in size of that?

58
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Oh gee.

59
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Could you compare it with anything?

60
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Um, uh, a beach ball.

61
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
Okay, fine.

62
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Oh gee.

63
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And was that also, you say that was a fiery red?

64
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
No, it wasn't, it was white.

65
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Just brilliant white again, okay.

66
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,000
It was really white.

67
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
There's been no color in it at all other than it's just glowing white.

68
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
You watched that about an hour.

69
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Did you see it leave?

70
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Uh, it, uh, in my eyes, I, uh, saw it disappear, but my husband thought it was still that road sign,

71
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
but looking at it now, of course, the lighting difference, there's nothing.

72
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
Uh-huh.

73
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
So I just don't know.

74
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
I think I'm going crazy, but it's really exciting, but sort of frightening too.

75
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Okay, did that, was that one that was hovering on the river by the freeway?

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Was that absolutely stationary?

77
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Yeah, except that I saw this clicking at the right.

78
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Right, right, okay.

79
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:46,000
And I wanted to ask you, is there a toll-free number to call in case you do, see these things or not?

80
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Well, no, this is actually, this is the only such public number in the off-board.

81
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Okay, where are you at?

82
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,000
We're in Seattle.

83
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Oh, I see, uh-huh.

84
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Okay.

85
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
Well, we sure appreciate your call on this, and we'll get on this right away.

86
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Okay.

87
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000
I'm really interested in the one that you saw this morning.

88
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,000
I am too.

89
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
That, to me, was quite frightening.

90
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Okay, where did you get our number?

91
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Pardon?

92
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Where did you get our number?

93
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Uh, the airport, the Dallas Airport.

94
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,000
Okay, thank you very much.

95
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,000
You bet, thank you.

96
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Bye-bye.
