While crossing the street on foot from a corner convenience
|
||
|
|
store a man and a woan 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 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,
|
||
|
|
i in his forties. After the sighting they discussed waht
|
||
|
|
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.
