No of observers: 2

Location: Maple Valley, WA, USA

after the incident was gone we talked about it and really wondered what it really was

Me and a friend were out on the Cedar River getting some sun. I was watching the cloud formations move over Cedar Mt. blocking the sun. I was also watching planes before the clouds started moving in. We were watching clouds forming faces ect. We were just sitting back relaxing and I saw a dark dot south of us moving northeast. As I watched it I was trying to figure out what it was. As it got closer I was looking for wings and thats when I SAID TO MY friend I see no definition to it. By then it was getting closer. We could see something dark that looked like a squsished donut. It was oblong but not too long. Then the horses, dogs, two loose goats, started acting up, the wind started blowing, a cottonwood branch fell and and all three of us felt strange after that. The wind was blowing just a little north of west, at about 20 to 30 mph. It lasted 10 or 15 minutes. We observed the object for 2 to 3 minutes but the time is hard for me to calculate, it could have been 5 min. We ran around a tree to look at it, because the tree leaves were starting to block our view. Then we couldn't see it so we ran around the corral which took 6-9 sec. Then there was nothing. no sign of it. I stood there with 2 other people looking, wondering where it went. One of the two witnesses started crying and her friend who did not see the object consoled her. she was worried that something bad was going to happen.
