While crossing the street on foot from a corner
|
|||
|
|
convenience store a man and a woman observed a huge, metallic
|
|||
|
|
spherical-shaped object surrounded by a corona of bright blue
|
|||
|
|
light over the West Seattle golf course. They described the
|
|||
|
|
object as "as wide as a football field is long" (300 feet). They
|
|||
|
|
heard a humming sound, and estimated the altitude to be only 300
|
|||
|
|
yards above the golf course.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
They reported being nearly knocked down by a car because
|
|||
|
|
they were standing there in the middle of the street "kind of
|
|||
|
|
mesmerized" by the sight of such a strange object so close to the
|
|||
|
|
ground in a populated area. The driver of the car who stopped
|
|||
|
|
got out and also watched the object. Together they watched the
|
|||
|
|
object for a period of approximately 30-40 seconds. It moved
|
|||
|
|
very quickly right, then left--in a zig-zag fashion as it gained
|
|||
|
|
altitude--and then departed very quickly into the upper atmosphere.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The woman is in her thirties and works as a transit operator
|
|||
|
|
for the regional transit system. The man, her boyfriend, is in
|
|||
|
|
his forties. After the sighting they discussed what they had
|
|||
|
|
seen with the other witness. The other witness suggested that
|
|||
|
|
they not report it to anyone and drove off without giving his
|
|||
|
|
name.
