The wife and I were returning from
mushroom hunting in the Blewitt Pass/Snoqualmie pass area on Saturday
afternoon on September 27, 2004, about 7:45 PM. We stopped by a river
to fish around 7pm, and I decided to rest a bit, and have a smoke break
and watch my wife fish the river. The sun was going down over the
mountains, and the sky was clear. There were some faint stars becoming
visible and I looked up towards the northeast, over a mountain and
saw an unusual looking 'star.' I say 'unusual' because it wasn't a
'whitish' color but more of a whitish/bluish color, about half the size
of the North Star. I watched this object for a minute, and then realized it was moving very slowly, appearing to be coming towards us. It was difficult to estimate the distance or altitude of the 'star', but I would guess it to be at around 7500 AGL, and I can't even guess at the distance. I am a commercial pilot and have been flying for close to 30 years, so I know what aircraft and other types of objects look like. Anyway, about two minutes later, the object got brighter, again with a bluish tint, and it appeared to be coming toward us. There was no noise, and at this time, I yelled to my wife to come look at this object. She came over, and quickly ran to our SUV to get my binoculars. I stood watching the object while she was looking through the binoculars, saying..."Oh my God!!"... I got a look through the binoculars and could make out what looked to be a perfectly round, translucent 'orb', with lights around the outer 'edge,' if there is such a thing, on a round object. About this time, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing straight out, and I got this very uncomfortable feeling of being 'watched.' I was probably mumbling something while watching this thing for another minute, and then, suddenly, it shot straight up and disappeared. It was one of most unusual objects my wife or I have ever witnessed. There was no noise from the craft, and where we were fishing, there was no sound at all. We could not even hear the sound of the river, since the water was so low, it was dead silent. I would estimate that we watched it for about 4 to 5 minutes total. The sky was clear at the time and no other aircraft were flying in the area. source: www.ufocenter.com |
