Witnesses said that they had spotted these objects while driving on Interstate 5 near the north side of Mountlake Terrace. The witnesses described that the objects were large in size, although they could only see large lights. When questioned further, they said the objects were the size of a quarter at arms length. The witnesses said that there were nine objects total. They also said that small white and blue objects were dropping out of some of the larger objects but did not hit the ground, instead headed for the north at fast rates of speed. When asked how many witnesses altogether there were, the witness described that he had counted fifteen cars pulled off to the side of the freeway observing the UFO's. The total duration of the sighting was about 30 minutes. The larger objects were then seen heading north also in formation. At exactly 11:00 P.M. all three news networks in Seattle, Washington gave their account of the sighting. All three had a different story. One explanation given was that FAA said that Payne Field was having aerial maneuvers. Another station said they called Payne Field and they stated it was possibly balloons. The next day after the sighting, CUFON called Payne Field and talked with Sargent Tinsley-Army Opera- tions. She checked flight records for that evening and said that there were no military maneuvers going on at Payne Field at the date and time of the sighting. She also stated that most of the time they do not have maneuvers going on after 9:00 P.M. because of noise levels. This is a highly residential area also. By coincidence there was a head on collision with two small single engine aircraft two weeks prior to this sighting. Two witnesses observed two planes colliding overhead in the Black Diamond, Washington area. The witnesses describ-ed the plane exploding in the air on im-pact then watched the small plane head towards the ground. They said the other plane then went on its own way. Although the witnesses said there were two planes, none of them were able to describe it accurately and the plane that departed was never found. Two days later after the incident, a helicopter that was leased by photographers for National Geographics was found crashed. The photographers were found dead in the helicopter near Mount Saint Helens. The reckage was found on flat ground with no reasonable explanation according to FAA. CUFON contacted FAA investigator to find out if they had any details on both accidents. The FAA investigator told CUFON that the helicopter may have had a "whiteout". When asked about the mid air collision with the two single engine aircraft, the FAA investigator said he didn't believe there was another plane involved. This meant that he was disregarding the testimony of the witnesses. As to this date, there has been no wreckage found of the second aircraft. ---------------------------------------- Report #: 90 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 05-22-1986 Subject: WAKEFIELD, RI CASE TYPE: CE I DATE: 25 NOVEMBER 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN CFN#: 0214 DURATION: UNKNOWN SOURCE: UFO NEWSCLIPPING SERVICE ----------------------------------------- Police report that several people called to report a UFO was flying low over Pond Street and portions of Route 1, beaming bright lights down at cars.

Another pilot described the objects as the shape and side of a ping- pong ball flying at a speed of (840 mph) a leading news network, reported. The jets, which also picked up the UFOs on their radar screens, tracked them for almost three hours, but had to turn back when the planes started to run out of fuel. I can't give an explanation for this because we don't have any, said Moreira Lima. ---------------------------------------- Report #: 96 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 05-23-1986 Subject: PETALUMA, CA CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 22 MAY 1986 TIME: 0430 CFN#: 0220 DURATION: UNKNOWN SOURCE: (UPI) SEATTLE TIMES ----------------------------------------- PETALUMA, Calif.
