1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
This is a UFO reporting center in Washington.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
We understand you saw something in the sky tonight.

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
I wonder if we could get a description of exactly what happened.

4
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,000
Okay.

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
First, I want to tell you.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I kind of shook up.

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Let's see.

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,000
I went out to move my hose in the front yard,

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,000
and I looked at the rest of my house.

10
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,000
I noticed this really gorgeous light.

11
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:39,000
You know how sometimes when an airplane is coming towards you,

12
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,000
you see the white light, but then after a while it turns,

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
and you can see it's headlights, kind of.

14
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Yes.

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Well, 15 minutes and about 30 seconds.

16
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Bye.

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
It didn't turn.

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,000
It didn't move.

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And I kind of got a landmark from the house across the street's TV antenna.

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And it was in this same position, and then all of a sudden it started to the left real quick.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000
And then it went to the right up, though.

22
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,000
You know, it went back to the right in a diagonal upwards motion,

23
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
and then went back to the original place that I had seen it by my landmarkers antenna.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:28,000
And then it started moving like, obviously, at the east,

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
like directly over top of me, and it was moving slowly.

26
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
And it was frightening because it appeared that I could reach out and grab it.

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
However, I know it was a lot further up than that.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:52,000
And what it was, when it got over top of me, it was, and I was looking straight up,

29
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:59,000
it was perfectly round, and it, nothing was moving on it, but it had four red lights,

30
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:08,000
like one in, say, in the front of it, and one in the back, and then one on each side.

31
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
And then the white light that I guess had seen from the distance was like,

32
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,000
maybe like on the top so that the haze of white was coming down from the top of it.

33
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
So I could still see, you know, I saw the perfect outline.

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:30,000
And it was perfectly round, and it made a sound, but it wasn't an airplane sound,

35
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:35,000
it was more of a hum than anything else.

36
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000
And I can't even tell you how long that it was up there because I was really numb by it.

37
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
You know, I was frightened.

38
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:53,000
And then all of a sudden, it took off again, but not as fast as it had darted originally.

39
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:02,000
It took off to the east, east south, I guess, because I landmarked again by the high school

40
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
that's right, east due east of us, so it was a little bit south of that.

41
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,000
And I watched it, and I turned, and it kept going, and it just vanished out of sight.

42
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Towards, you know, towards the frittles there, like say, the Coyah area, King's Canyon area.

43
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,000
Well, you watched it until it just moved away out of sight, didn't it?

44
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Well, no, it just disappeared.

45
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,000
It suddenly disappeared?

46
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Yeah, it just vanished.

47
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
Okay. Just like turning off a light?

48
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Yeah, exactly.

49
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
Okay.

50
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Okay, now let's get back to when the object was hovering overhead.

51
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Could you see an object, a surface of an object, or were you just looking at plain light?

52
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
No, it was, I don't want to say the substance was metal, but it was a hard physical substance.

53
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,000
It was, you know...

54
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
You could see a body of something there then.

55
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,000
Right, but it was perfectly round.

56
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,000
Okay.

57
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,000
Because I was looking like from bottom straight up.

58
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Okay, now when you say round, you're not talking like round like a ball, you're talking like circular?

59
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Right, like would it be the radius?

60
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Right.

61
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Right, okay.

62
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Now did this object appear flat, or could you tell?

63
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,000
Was it at an angle where you could tell the exact shape?

64
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:35,000
No, when it was coming towards, you know, when it was going east, all I saw was the light.

65
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,000
And it was shining because it looked like it was coming at me.

66
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,000
Right.

67
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:50,000
And there was no blinking light, no nothing to indicate that it was a, even a, gosh, one of those blimps, you know, anything.

68
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,000
And I remember seeing a shape and thinking to myself, what is that like?

69
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,000
But I was so scared that I think I must have just...

70
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:06,000
My mind must have gone numb for a few minutes or something because I remember thinking that I thought of something, but I don't remember what I thought, if you know what I mean.

71
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Right.

72
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Because I couldn't move really, I was really scared because it's the first time that's ever happened.

73
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:26,000
And, but when it finally got to where I remember seeing it again, over, directly overhead, looking up like if it was directly overhead, I was looking straight up.

74
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:37,000
And like at the bottom of it, I remember seeing the metal or whatever it was surface and it was in a perfectly round, radius round shape.

75
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,000
With the white glow, maybe say on the top of it, shining down.

76
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
It was just the perfect white light.

77
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Was this glow, did it have a hazy effect around this object?

78
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Hazy effect?

79
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
I mean it wasn't, it wasn't a solid light, was it?

80
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,000
It was solid when I first saw it.

81
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Right, but I mean when it was directly overhead.

82
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
No, it was hazy light.

83
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,000
Okay.

84
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Like I was looking at a silhouette, maybe with a light behind it kind of like, you know what I mean?

85
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Right, right, okay, right.

86
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
And you didn't see anything else other than that, the white and then the red lights.

87
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Right, and the red lights were just, in comparison to what the white light was, the red lights were very small and there were just four of them and they did not move at all.

88
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,000
They didn't flash or blink?

89
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,000
No.

90
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Okay, and were those red lights still on when the object started to move away from you?

91
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
They stayed on constantly.

92
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Okay, until it just suddenly vanished.

93
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Right.

94
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,000
Okay.

95
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:45,000
It just disappeared.

96
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Okay, now can you give us an estimate on the altitude when it was directly overhead?

97
00:06:51,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Hmm, like I said, it felt like I was right there, like I could touch it, but I know that I was fighting and that's why it seemed so close.

98
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:24,000
Um, hmm, gosh, I, hmm, the only way I could estimate it was like for a city block, it seemed like it would have been like a city block or maybe even two away, but not too much further.

99
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Okay.

100
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Now, if you were holding, if you took a 12 inch ruler and just held it straight up into the sky where that object was, how many or how wide would that be in inches on that ruler?

101
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Uh, like about two of them.

102
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
About two inches, okay.

103
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Or maybe, maybe more.

104
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Gosh, I remember what it looked like, but I,

105
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
That's very difficult to make those estimates.

106
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:55,000
Well, it is, because all I remember feeling is just the whole sight, like everything was drained.

107
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
I was scared that I didn't have any saliva left in my mouth to calm my mind.

108
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:06,000
Okay, when that was overhead, did it at any time appear to come closer as it was directly overhead?

109
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Did it appear to descend towards you at all?

110
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Uh, no, not that I know of.

111
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Okay.

112
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:17,000
And it was, when it was overhead, was it stationary at all times?

113
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Yeah, it was just right there.

114
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,000
Okay, and you could definitely hear that humming sound.

115
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:27,000
Yeah, it was like a, um, I don't know what to...

116
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,000
How about a turbine?

117
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,000
Well, I don't know how that sounds.

118
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,000
It was not an airplane.

119
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:39,000
An airplane, you know, as you hear it going through the sky, you can hear it goes, you know, but this was like a...

120
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,000
It was steady.

121
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Yeah, exactly.

122
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,000
Okay.

123
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Did that sound change as it moved away?

124
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Did it increase or decrease in volume?

125
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
No, no, but as soon as the thing was out of sight, it was gone.

126
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,000
The sound was gone.

127
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Right, okay.

128
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And that white light, did it maintain its constant brilliance at all times?

129
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
At all times.

130
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,000
At all times.

131
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Okay.

132
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Do you have any pets around your area?

133
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Uh-huh, I have my two dogs and a cat.

134
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,000
How did they react?

135
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:25,000
You know, that's really funny, you should ask that, because, um, uh, my one dog, well, let's see, my poodle was out...

136
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
My poodle was outside?

137
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:33,000
No, my poodle was in the back bedroom and he was carrying on high, but I thought that that's maybe because I was outside.

138
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
He's just a yapper anyhow.

139
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:41,000
But my other dog, my cockapoo, is in the living room because she just had a litter of puppies and she was in her little cage

140
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
and she was just carrying on too.

141
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:51,000
But then I have a little cat who was out with me who didn't, it didn't even, you know, phase it.

142
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000
So probably the dogs were barking because I was out front.

143
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Did they calm down after this thing left?

144
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:03,000
Um, no, they continued barking until I came in the house.

145
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,000
Okay.

146
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
What time did you spot that?

147
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Oh, let's see.

148
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:15,000
Uh, the only way I can associate the time, my sister was watching sitting here.

149
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Um, I went outside to move the water, approximately, let's see, sitting here started at 10, so say approximately between 10.13 and 10.30.

150
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Okay.

151
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:39,000
And that's when I probably saw it the first time and then for about 15 minutes and 30 seconds approximately that I sat there and watched it

152
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,000
until it started, you know, the first of all it started.

153
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,000
And it was a big enough dart in distance, it was far enough that you knew that your eyes weren't doing that, you know, how you focus on something so long.

154
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Right.

155
00:10:53,000 --> 00:11:00,000
And then when it went in the sky, it went three houses long, the houses that were directly in front of me across the street.

156
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:04,000
So it, you know, it was three houses long, the dart.

157
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
So it made it a pretty decent thing.

158
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:17,000
Okay, now this numbing effect you had when you were watching that, do you feel that it was strictly because of fright?

159
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,000
I don't know.

160
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,000
Was there, did your body have any tingling sensation at all?

161
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:38,000
In fact, I felt like I was, like, feet raised, you know, but like rubber or something like I was about ready to either pass out or something.

162
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Like, feet raised were going off through.

163
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:48,000
I was sitting here thinking, you know, who's the thing that didn't do something to me?

164
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000
But that's kind of far, I guess.

165
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Did you have the feeling that you were singled out by this thing?

166
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
No.

167
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Okay.

168
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
Were there any electric power problems in your neighborhood at the time that you noticed?

169
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
Not to my knowledge, you know.

170
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
Were you wearing a watch?

171
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
Yes.

172
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:13,000
Did you check the time on that by any chance?

173
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Yeah, but the only thing I remember as far as crime was the 15 minutes and 30 seconds.

174
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:23,000
Approximately 30 seconds.

175
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:27,000
But you didn't feel there was any loss of time while you were watching this, did you?

176
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,000
No.

177
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Other than, I know the 15 minutes, but when I came back in at 11.15, I had been gone longer than when I realized I was out there.

178
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:50,000
When I left, sitting here was maybe into it, say, a half hour rather than 15 minutes.

179
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
And then when I came back in, my sister had been watching the news for 15.

180
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:57,000
But I hadn't seemed like I had been gone that long.

181
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000
So I must have really been scared.

182
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
You came in about 11.15?

183
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
Yeah, around there, yeah.

184
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:16,000
And then I called my mom right away to tell her, and I asked her if she'd call whoever you called to see if, you know, something weird is up there.

185
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,000
How long do you feel you watch that?

186
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:29,000
Well, like I said, the brilliant light when I singled it out in the sky, because it isn't something you'd have to take a second look at.

187
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,000
It was just right there, just brilliant.

188
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,000
I mean, the North Star sticks out, but this was just immense.

189
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,000
And I watched that 15 minutes and 30 seconds until it did its little dart.

190
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:49,000
And then as soon as it started and went back to the same original place, then it started going overhead.

191
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Okay, then you...

192
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
That's a headache.

193
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,000
Okay, then from the time you first spotted the light until the time the thing disappeared, how long would you say that was?

194
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:06,000
You got into the house about 11.15, you know?

195
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Or 11.10.

196
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Well, no, it had to be late in that because the weather was on, and that was the last thing.

197
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
So it was about 11.15.

198
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
Okay.

199
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:25,000
Do you feel that you were watching it at all that time, or that you might have lost some time there?

200
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,000
I don't know. I'm really... I don't know. I'm really afraid to say.

201
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,000
That's fine. That's fine.

202
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,000
All I know is I'd never felt so scared in my whole life.

203
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,000
I understand your neighbor saw it also.

204
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,000
Yeah.

205
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
Did he watch it as long as you did?

206
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Uh, yes.

207
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
It's really weird though because the whole time when he was there, I still felt alone.

208
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,000
Now, you want a busy thoroughfare by any chance?

209
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,000
Oh, no.

210
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,000
Okay.

211
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
But we're on a residential, you know, quiet...

212
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000
It was country, but they built it up around us.

213
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Okay.

214
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
Is this the first time you've ever seen anything like this?

215
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Anything like this, yes.

216
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,000
What was your opinion of the subject of UFOs before this happened?

217
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:22,000
Um...

218
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
I didn't really care.

219
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
It was really too deep to get into. I don't understand them that much.

220
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Okay.

221
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:35,000
What's the bucket for?

222
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:44,000
Okay, if we could get somebody in there to talk to you, to get some diagrams and so forth, would this be permissible?

223
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
It's a medium.

224
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Okay.

225
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
Well, we sure appreciate your talking to us.

226
00:15:52,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And, uh, if we come up with any information on this object through our investigation, we'll get back to you and let you know about it.

227
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Okay, well, all I know is that, whether anybody else knows what it was, all I know is that there's something that I've never seen before, and I hope I never see it again.

228
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,000
Well, if it's a description of things that they're seeing all over the world.

229
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Which probably are not what we think are little things in and flying saucers, but something else.

230
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Well, we know that they're not from this planet. I don't know whether they've got little green men or women or what.

231
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Well, you know, I really hesitated even calling my mom because I...

232
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:37,000
I don't know. You know, I don't want anybody to think I'm crazy.

233
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:49,000
Well, we understand that. Of course, you know, one of the big problems is we have trouble convincing the public that this is very, very important for them to report these things.

234
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000
So you don't have to worry about that. Okay.

235
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:58,000
And if we need further information, could we feel free to call you back again? Sure.

236
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,000
Okay, thank you again. Thank you very much. Bye-bye.
