PRELIMINARY UFO REPORT
|
||
|
||
DATE: March 5, 1988
|
||
|
||
TIME: Between 9:20 and 9:25 P.M.
|
||
|
||
LOCATION: West Seattle, Washington
|
||
|
||
DURATION: 1-3 minutes
|
||
|
||
SOURCE OF SIGHTING: UFO Reporting Center 206-722-3000
|
||
|
||
INVESTIGATOR: Donald A. Johnson, Ph.D., MUFON
|
||
|
||
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.
