Full Report Text:

spinning box i was walking to work sometime in the late afternoon in the laate autumn of 2001, i looked up to take in the panorama of the sky and i saw whaat i first thought was a box kite floating in the sky but then i took a closer look and noticed there was no apparent string attached to this object, then i noticed the box was actually spinning in a very perfect spin, and spinning continueisly, in was also makeing a circular obit of rotation in the sky that appeared to be a few hundred feet or less, in this orbit was perfect , the box was gray in its was standing on one corner, and as it spun , on side of the box appeared to reflect light more the the other sides , wish were a grayish black color. as i walked along a tall house obscured my view of the sky i was looking toward for a few seconds, when i could look back toward the part of the sky the box was in , it was gone. i was also upset there weere no other witnesses, although many people were doiing activities around me, none of them were looking up, several were hispanic and i speak very little spanish.

there was a couple of cuacasian men working on a truck but i was afraid that the object would decide to fly away just as im trying to get the attention of these strangers, also this was a very low income area of the city, people dont approach each other easilly. i know this report probably sounds very uninformeing, but what amazed me personally is the shape the object had. i would never have imageing a square shape as being something designed to fly thru the sky, how un aeodynamic could a square be.

and the spinning, what pupose could spinning be for a craft. im ssorry i didnt file this report sooner. i didnt feel it was importand enough to be late for my job, to phone the report in immediately, and after work i felt i was to late in reporting it as far as the purposes of a possible reconoscience by the air force.

Three delta shaped objects flying in a "v" formation passed over Yakima, Wash. at22:10 on 07/20/01 I was in my hot tub watching airliners traveling generally on a s.east to n.

west course when I saw three object traveling in a v formation on the same general heading but at a much lower altitude. These objects were difficult to see against the dark night sky, but were more visible when they passed below scattered clouds. They gave off no light,made no sound and could be mistaken for night flying birds if they were nit so fast.

The two outboard objects came close together and then return to their original posions. The object did not seem to oscillate ,flap or vibrate. My best guess as to the altitude was 3000-4000 feet.

((NUFORC Note: Three reports of these objects, seen on this night, and also several nights later. We do not know what they are, but they seem to fly like transport a/c. They may be large military aircraft practicing low-level flight at night.

PD)).

Just a light I went out onto my back porch to smoke a cigarette after SportsCenter, I was just looking to the NW when a light started to appear like a flashlight having a cover of some type being pulled up from in front of it, the bottom? of the light appeared first. It got about as bright as a streetlight, and at first I though that was what it was. It was to low and silent to be an aircraft.

As I kept watching it it seemed to sort of slowly and almost imperceptibly bob, for a couple moments I was wondering if it was me rather than the light that was moving, then it moved to my left behind some trees and I lost sight of it. It was just the one light, like a streetlight no craft that I saw. I am a college student and fulltime cook and have never seen anything tnat I would call a UFO before.
