PART II: Narrative of second witness, female, age 33

|

Transcribed from notes by Dr. Donald Johnson, March 13, 1988

[The first three paragraphs are a narrative from a phone
|
|||
|
|
interview with this witness on Friday, March 11th:]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
While crossing the street with my boyfriend from a corner
|
|||
|
|
24-hour convenience store we saw a huge, metallic
|
|||
|
|
spherical-shaped object surrounded by a bright blue light over
|
|||
|
|
the West Seattle golf course and Camp Long. The object was as
|
|||
|
|
wide as a football field is long. We heard a humming sound, and
|
|||
|
|
estimated it to be only 300 yards above the golf course.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
We were nearly knocked down by a car because we 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. The
|
|||
|
|
driver of the car pulled over and stopped. We watched the
|
|||
|
|
object together for about 30-40 seconds. It moved very quickly
|
|||
|
|
right, then left--in sort of a zig-zag--and then it was gone.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I'm in my thirties and I work as a transit operator for
|
|||
|
|
Metro [the regional bus system]. I've never seen anything like
|
|||
|
|
it despite driving buses late at night for many years. After
|
|||
|
|
the sighting we discussed the sighting with the other man and we
|
|||
|
|
decided not to report it. Later on I decided that we ought to
|
|||
|
|
report what we had seen to someone, and I looked up "UFO" in the
|
|||
|
|
white pages and found the number for the UFO Reporting Center
|
|||
|
|
and called it. I'm sorry now that the other witness drove away
|
|||
|
|
before we could get his name. We called to find out if anyone
|
|||
|
|
else had reported it and were surprised to hear that no one else
|
|||
|
|
had.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
[Narrative from March 13, 1988:]
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
I was still in the store when he saw the object from
|
|||
|
|
the sidewalk. I don't know how long he'd seen it before
|
|||
|
|
he yelled at me. But when he got my attention he pointed
|
|||
|
|
over in the golf course direction. I saw it when it first
|
|||
|
|
started to move. When it moved up, it moved sort of away. I
|
|||
|
|
guess east. The more we talked about it the more we felt that
|
|||
|
|
we should call somebody. I called the UFO Reporting Center late
|
|||
|
|
on Monday morning. I wanted confirmation that "yes, we did see
|
|||
|
|
this strange object, because other people saw it, too". He went
|
|||
|
|
down to the golf course, I just went home. I have a
|
|||
|
|
two-and-a-half-year-old and he was asleep in the car and I
|
|||
|
|
didn't want to get too close.
|
|||

|
My parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and they have a
|
|||
|
|
religious interpretation for these things, they say that they
|
|||
|
|
are "spiritual manifestations" [Note: the notetaker missed some
|
|||
|
|
of what the parents' explanation was at this point, however, the
|
|||
|
|
gist of what she said was that she was skeptical of her parents'
|
|||
|
|
interpretation.]
