SUBJECT: WEST SEATTLE SIGHTING REPORT FILE: UFO1246
Mutual UFO Network Investigative Sighting Report
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
