Full Report Text:
Blue/Green cylinder shaped object falling from the sky
My husband and I were in our car. We both saw a light in the sky. When we focused we saw a cylinder shaped object falling from the sky.
It was a teal green and had a white fuzziness around it. The sky is kind of cloudy tonight so there were reflections from them. It did not travel as fast as a falling star and it was not moving across the sky like a plane.
It was more like a bomb falling from the sky. We are not sure how big it really was because we are not sure how far away it really was. From our viewpoint it was about a foot in length and 6' wide.
Neither of us has seen anything like this before in our lives. We live right next to a major airport, Boeing Field, and air force bases. We see strange planes and such all the time.
We are sure this was not a plane or anything. Because of the recent events we phoned the police, just in case it was not some kind of biological warfare device. I am sure they though we were crazy.
Well hopefully this interests someone…
((NUFORC Note: Event occurred at 20:21::52 hrs. (Pacific Daylight Time), as reported by Mr. Ed Majden, astronomer, Courtenay, B.
C. We have changed the time above. PD))
((Note to witness:
Dear Mrs.
((name deleted)),
Thank you very much for the excellent report.
Could you please let us know 1) what direction you were facing, when you saw the object, and 2) what course it took across the sky? We would like that information to help us calculate how high the object was.
I suspect it was a meteor, but that is only a guess at this stage.
Thank you very much for sharing the information with our Center!
Cordially,
Peter B. Davenport, Director
((RESPONES))
We were facing north/west It came straight down from the sky. It didn't look like it was at an
angle.
Are their really blue meteors, I always thought they would be a white yellow color?
Let me know if I can give you any more information. ((name deleted)).
Full Report Text:
Large White Flash above Renton.
After reading some of these reports, I decided to discuss my own sighting. Unfortunately I can’t remember the date, but I believe it was in 2001.
I was driving on Maple Valley Highway near Jones Rd going west, at about 10:30 or 11:0p.m. The sky was clear, and stars were visible.
I saw something in my peripheral in the upper right hand corner of the windshield. It was some sort of light that moved strangely in the sky. I glanced up and the moment that I did, I saw a bright egg shaped light that flashed and grew smaller within a fraction of a second.
It was like when you turn off an old TV and the light goes to the center of the screen, or a Sci-Fi movie where a spaceship zooms away at light speed.
I distinctly got the impression that it had moved away at an incredible speed. This would have been over Renton or 405 depending on the distance.
It happened so fast that I wouldn’t be able to judge its exact location or distance, but I believe it was at least a hundred feet up.
The light was such a bright white that it left an imprint in my vision like when you stare at a light source for too long and you see a pink or green blob when you turn away. I would have dismissed this whole event, had it not been for the fact that I could still see that imprint.
I had a strong impulse to pull over and look in the sky in the direction it had gone, but there wasn’t a convenient place, as that stretch of road has no shoulder.
((NUFORC Note: Source of report indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).
Full Report Text:
Saw a Fireball at 9:00 pm sharp north of Sea-Tac Airport.
Looking to the east from Chelsea Park, Wa. at 9:00 pm sharp we saw a fireball descending rapidly from North to the south at a steep angle.
This area is north of the airport by a short distance,and though there was no trail, the angle of descent and speed of the fireball seemed much out of character for an aircraft. Immediatly following, our cellphone rang. Sister said she saw a green fireball, apparently at the same time, over Maury Island, Wa.
