I saw a black, worm-like, flying object similar to that reported 10/8. The wx was clear and sunny and the wind was northerly. I was in Gasworks Park when I saw the object coming from the north. Its altitude was probably around 2000 feet.It twisted about as it proceded.It had the appearance of being made of plastic sheet. I had the thought that someone had glued together some plastic garbage bags and filled the thing with helium.It headed south, over Lake Union. I didn't watch it out of sight so I don't know what happened to it.

NUFORC Note:

We are quite familiar with Gasworks Park in Seattle. We presume that the witness may describe an oriental kite with a long, streamer-like tail. Just an assumption. PD
