Occurred : 5/12/2015 21:20 (Entered as : 05/12/15 21:20) Reported: 5/13/2015 8:02:16 AM 08:02 Posted: 5/13/2015 Location: Mount Vernon, WA Shape: Other Duration: 3 minutes Characteristics: There were lights on the object, The object emitted other objects
Unknown lights over Mount Vernon, Washington. I was going out to my car to put something in the trunk and I happened to look up in the sky. What I saw was this bright orange/red light slowly across the sky. I first thought that it was either a plane or a helicopter but then I noticed that there was no engine sound at all. The next thing that I noticed was that there were things dropping from it like sparks that drop from a sparkler. All of a sudden it made a 90 degree left turn ( toward me ) and just hovered there. All that time I still did not hear any engine sound at all. After about two minutes, it seemed like, the thing started to go straight up and the light faded and pretty soon I could not see it at all. ((NUFORC Note: We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be quite sober-minded. We strongly suspect that the report is accurate. PD))
