Yakima, WA - Other

Shaped like an old fashioned oil derick-about 100 feet tall-stationary-made of pure light. We watched it,along with two or three other cars, for about 15 minutes. It was about 50 feet above the 50 foot trees along the river. Made of pure ultra blue light, it went out like a light switch had been used. It sat on the ground and there was no noise or movement. The area along the river is still there with nothing there, although a lot of the trees are gone now.

We were learning to play a card game and was on our way home from Parker Heights (outside of Yakima) and came around the bend in the road and I said to my then husband, what to he-- is that? I don't remember seeing anything there. It was very tall-I always thought about 100 feet. It was made of pure light and was a color of ultra blue that I still have not seen since. There was two, mabey three cars stopped with us, looking at it. We goet out of the car and stood by the guard rail and just watched it. We were parked on the oposite side of the road and the light emmitting from it lite up the night. I havn't talked to my ex husban for over 30 years and have never talked to him about this since. I got busy raising my two children, basicly alone, and kind of put it in the back of my mind. I am now 58 years old and have thought about it very often for a long time. I know there are others out there who saw it too. I would very much like to contact them. The first question below asks about lights 'on' the object--this was made of pure light.
