1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,440
You have a party in center?

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,000
Yeah, where am I calling?

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Washington.

4
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:07,000
Washington?

5
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000
Yeah, this is the Washington, Iowa.

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Yes.

7
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:16,000
And I'd called them only in the airport, the tower, to ask about a radar contact.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Yes.

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,000
South of Muskeying.

10
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,500
I don't know, it's maybe my imagination, but it seems like there's something unusual

11
00:00:20,500 --> 00:00:23,000
in the sky, I've been watching it for about 20 minutes.

12
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,000
You know?

13
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Okay, would you like to describe it?

14
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
Yeah, just, first I just know it's like a pulsating.

15
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:30,000
You know, light.

16
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:31,000
Yes.

17
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,000
I was off in the distance, but I thought it was a star and I started watching it.

18
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:40,000
It seems to be rising in the sky and I get the impression of erratic movement very fast,

19
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:47,000
you know, occasionally with a kind of a pulsation, you know, almost a colored red sort of pulsation.

20
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Yes.

21
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Either like a light going around or more than one light.

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And then the erratic movement, it's not circular as such, it seems like an eccentric circle.

23
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:00,000
You know?

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,000
That's all I can tell you.

25
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
When I called up there, I told them I thought it was southeast of Muskeying, but I checked

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,000
where the North Muskeying place was funny on the Mississippi River, so the directions

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
are confusing here because of the streets.

28
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,000
And I checked the North Star and it's due south of Muskeying, but I have no idea how far

29
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000
I'm not, or altitude, I'm not familiar with that sort of thing.

30
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:23,000
This is remaining relatively in the same section of the sky.

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
Right, and it just seems to be, you know, rising.

32
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:32,000
I was thinking maybe, you know, a satellite whose rotation about the Earth must be very

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
close to the, you know, the Earth's rotation.

34
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
It's moving very, very slow, but still it seems to have this other erratic movement to it,

35
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
as it's rising, you know.

36
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000
I mean, it's, I don't know if they're rising, I don't know, I'm describing that very well.

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Okay, now you said it was multi-colored.

38
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Well, I, you know, I just, you stare at it long enough and you see about anything, I guess.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
But it seems like, it seems like that, you know, I get the impression of some red, you know,

40
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
occasion, if there's something coming around red, you don't want to look.

41
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,000
Right, right.

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You know, okay.

43
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,000
But, you know, like, at first I thought maybe a helicopter just to hovering, you know, but

44
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,000
it's staying, I don't know, it seems too high for that.

45
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
And I thought about this satellite thinking, let's fall out, I'll see a satellite out if

46
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
I'm sitting on it, you know.

47
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I'm moving across the sky like a satellite.

48
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Like the ones I know on my sphere of seeing.

49
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Right, yeah.

50
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
Okay, what time did you first spot that?

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Well, what time is it now?

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Cool.

53
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:31,000
It's 11, it's 12 here, so it must have been about 25 till.

54
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,000
I've been watching it for about 15 minutes and I got a curious spot, I guess, that I call him.

55
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
The guy up there said, oh, he had a, a down run, he could go 40 miles southeast of Muscovite,

56
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:43,000
with his radar and all he had was one plane 20 miles north of Muscovite.

57
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
There's nothing on the screen below that, so, or southeast, so.

58
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
There's probably nothing in here.

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Okay, can we have your names here?

60
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Yeah, it's Dr.

61
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
It's still there, you know, I just looked for it.

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I thought you.

63
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:58,000
All right, sir, well, we sure appreciate you reporting this and we're going to check it out,

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,000
see if we can't come up with some answers and if we find out anything, we'll get back to you and let you know.

65
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
All right, thank you.

66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Thank you.

67
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Bye.
