SIGHTING: SOUTH BEND, WA

Witness Testimony

" Unusual lights seen over a swamp south of South Bend, WA.This occurred on March 1st, 2014, in Washington State. I’m not sure what I saw but considering the details which I will provide here, I am having a hard time coming up with a “good” explanation.I live in a small town along the Washington coast just west of the city of Aberdeen. On March 1st I was driving to my friends home in the town of Long Beach, Washington, which is south of where I live. I was driving south on Hwy 101, not too far south of the town of South Bend. I had Willapa Bay out my right side window and a swampy area that drains into the bay on my left side.I’m not sure of the time but I did back tracking and I think it was about 8pm. I was at the location described and I noticed there were lights off to my left. Either they were really small, or some distance away-I can’t be sure because it was dark. I noticed I think 4 lights that from what I can tell were motionless, but I can’t be sure because my truck was moving-but they appeared that way anyway.What caught my attention a lot was that they were directly at my 9:00 O'Clock position-not up in the sky. They changed colors constantly. I remember seeing red, blue, orange and maybe green but I’m not sure about that last one. When I realized they were not up in the air but either on top of, or just over the swampy area, I slowed my truck down considerably (just creeping along) because I wanted to see if anything was making a sound out there but all I could hear was a lot of frogs. I got some video on my phone/camera (not really good video-quite short) and as soon as I stopped the truck they began moving very fast, they seemed to move to the north of me quite fast. And one of them just blinked out.I have no idea what I saw and really don’t plan on telling too many people. I made that mistake already and people think I’m a goon. I learned my lesson with that.The weather at that time was overcast (I couldn’t really see any stars or the moon), it was a wet weekend and there had been lots of rain coming and going but was not raining at that time.I have lived in various places along the south Washington State coast all my 64 years. I know all the towns and all the roads. The traffic was light at the time this happened. I am not aware if there has been anything like this reported in this area; I know there’s plenty of stories of weird sea creatures washing up on the ocean beaches. But that’s about it. "
