1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
I live about 12 miles northwest of Calisthenia, Montana.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Yes, sir.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Last night I sighted a strange object in the sky and it was there for so long.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
My wife first sighted that I have a scope of 75 power to 75 power.

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,000
Headed set for 35 power and I looked at this thing.

6
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It hovered over our about, I would judge it from the landscape here somewhere over Talley Lake.

7
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
And I wondered if you wanted an idea of what I saw through my scope.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Any interest to you?

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,000
What did this thing look like?

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
It was a severe.

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Rather like to be translucent.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
With some little lights in the severe itself,

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
with a sparkle something like you'd see in a Christmas tree light.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Oh yes.

15
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
And at the time it was when it would stay stationary,

16
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:10,000
it would have a halo which was exactly like the fluorescent light, the circular fluorescent light.

17
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And as it rose or descended, as it rose especially,

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:22,000
this tubular light around the, when it was stationary, right on the diameter of the severe.

19
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
I see.

20
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:29,000
And as it rose, the circular light, the tubular looking light,

21
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,000
went one down to the bottom of the severe.

22
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And when it disappeared from sight which appears like it was moving horizontally away from us,

23
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,000
it disappeared.

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,000
About the light that contract and disappears and hits the bottom of the severe.

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Okay.

26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,000
Now what color was this?

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000
What color did it maintain during this observation?

28
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Well, when it was in horizontal position was the tubular light around the diameter.

29
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,000
And the severe was, I say, it was just an outline.

30
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
It was rather almost translucent as if there wasn't as much reflection coming off.

31
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,000
It did whatever else is on it.

32
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
Yes.

33
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000
It was brilliant.

34
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And then, it was at the diameter of the severe.

35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:31,000
But as it rose on the horizon, the light kept getting dimmer and dimmer.

36
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Okay.

37
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,000
Which direction were you looking?

38
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:40,000
I would say that this band of light around the diameter of the brilliance would be about

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
one-twentieth the diameter of the severe that I observed.

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Okay.

41
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
And which direction were you looking?

42
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000
I was looking due west, approximately due west.

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Okay.

44
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
Now, and this object came up from the horizon?

45
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,000
When I first noticed it, it was in the horizontal position just above the horizon.

46
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,000
We're down in Little Valley and we had mountains out there about 5,000 feet.

47
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Yes.

48
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
It was somewhere 5,000, 6,000 feet, where it was 3,000.

49
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Okay.

50
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
And it disappeared going vertically straight up?

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,000
No.

52
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,000
In, well, I would say it's been inclined rising.

53
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,000
But because of the getting smaller, as this band of light receded to the bottom of the

54
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
severe, everything kept getting smaller.

55
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,000
So, the movement was rising as it was going away.

56
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Okay.

57
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,000
But it was, it was 9.15 last night.

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,000
And it was at least 10 minutes and it could be 15 minutes.

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:47,000
It seemed to be hovered over what I, you know, just guessing on what's the diameter

60
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,000
and so forth.

61
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
The tally like Montana, which is rather, is right out there in the flathead forest.

62
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Right.

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,000
In a rather isolated area.

64
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Okay.

65
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:01,000
Now, if you were using a ordinary one-foot ruler and holding it at arm's length out there,

66
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,000
what would you estimate the diameter of that thing was?

67
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Well, I thought about that in relation to, let's say, the size of my scope and so forth.

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
It was not less than 100 feet, I would say.

69
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Now, you have to get the distance on that, of course.

70
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Right.

71
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Now, where is it so far?

72
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,000
Right.

73
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,000
I'm, I worked for the U.S. government for 31 years and civil engineer.

74
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I tried to think about this after I'd seen it.

75
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,000
I called the sheriff's office by his name.

76
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Yes.

77
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:39,000
I just called him and there was no other sighting of it, and I thought I'd called him.

78
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Okay.

79
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Did you hear any sound of any kind?

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Well, at one time, I thought I did, but we are, we are about a quarter, no, about a half

81
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
a mile off of one of the main logging roads here, where one of the trunks logs in from

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,000
an area over there.

83
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Yes.

84
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And, you know, we are in the mountains, but I couldn't say no, I didn't hear anything.

85
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Okay.

86
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Did your wife see this too?

87
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000
Yes, she was the one that noticed it.

88
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000
In fact, tell you the truth, I was sleeping on the fireplace.

89
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:20,000
She woke me up because of this brilliant light that was just above the horizon as we looked

90
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,000
west over our mountains.

91
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
There were no other stars in the sky.

92
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Okay.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
You had a cloudy condition then?

94
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Yes.

95
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Okay.

96
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Did this thing, did the light from this thing illuminate the clouds at all?

97
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Well, to some extent, there was around the whole thing, there was a halo or an aura.

98
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Yes.

99
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:47,000
But still the distinction of the, the clear light object was quite distinct.

100
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
There was a depth and outline where it ended.

101
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Okay.

102
00:05:51,000 --> 00:06:00,000
As far as the little lights that you, that seemed to be scattered around the severe were,

103
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,000
they could be glanced from metallic, the reflection from metallic objects.

104
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Okay.

105
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,000
You feel that the main light source on that was the tube rotating around it or was it

106
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,000
around the horizontal?

107
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:15,000
I could see it was rotating, but it looked as, it was exactly as if it was one of these

108
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,000
circular fluorescent lights.

109
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Right.

110
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,000
Okay.

111
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000
And I'd say about one-twentieth the diameter of the outline of the figure whatever it was.

112
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:25,000
Okay.

113
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
One, yeah, about one-twentieth I think it could be, right?

114
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
That's it, it's brilliant, brilliant.

115
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
So when it was at the center on the diameter.

116
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:35,000
Okay.

117
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,000
And it was horizontal.

118
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
It was around, horizontal at that time.

119
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,000
And all that remained that way.

120
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Okay.

121
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Well, sir, we sure appreciate this report and we'll get on it right away and if we come

122
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,000
up with any additional information on this, why I would get back to you and let you know.

123
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Thank you very much.

124
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000
Sounds like you've got a typical UFO in the sky there.

125
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,000
It looks like, yeah, I don't know.

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I was with my wife and I just casting it there.

127
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,000
So we ought to follow up with that.

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Okay.

129
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Thank you again.

130
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Bye.

131
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Bye.

132
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Bye.
