Yakima UFO in 1975

In 1975, I was a child, 9 years old, living in Cowiche, WA, among the foothills. It was night time. I was watching television, and my mother had fallen asleep in front of the fireplace, on the floor. My stepfather was sleeping in the bedroom.

The living room lit up with flashing, brilliant, multi-colored light, like police car lights flashing. I ran to the window and saw a circular craft, landing behind our property, behind one of the near by foothills. I tried to wake my mother, who would not wake up. I called out to my step father, who didn’t wake up either. I was terrified. My memory ends there.

The next morning, I told my mother about it. She didn’t believe me at first. Then, in the following days, she read the articles in the Yakima Herald newspaper, about approx. 8 other people who had witnessed similar sightings in the area. One father and son even chased one down the road trying to follow it, until they nearly ran off the road. The explanation that the "experts" gave, was that it was a reflection of Venus.
