1995-09-25 - Seattle, WA - Triangle

Cloudless night, clear: craft silent, six round, pale orange lights on underside of craft; travelled south to north, not fast.I saw it first, then my husband looked up and saw it, too. It caught my eye as a blur, but as it flew almost overhead it looked solid; as it left our position it became a blur again--like camoflage.

We were entering our backyard. As it entered our line of vision in the south, and left it in the north it was just a narrow band of orange light as if it had camoflage; but while over our yard and the neighbor's yards it was clear, blocked out the light of the stars, silent and steady. The six round, pale orange lights were all the same size and close together, perfectly equidistant from one another: one at the narrow end of the tri- angle, two in the next row, and three across the broad end; of course, the narrow end was the leading edge. It did not seem to become a blur in the north until it was about a mile beyond us going north: it did not disappear so much as blend slowly into the appearance of space. I am an ex-teacher, now self-employed; my husband is a minister.
