the craft seemed very large,and had simeltaneous flashing red lights,all in a straight line.about 8:06 pm on sept 17,2002,i got a call from a friend telling me to go outside,she was kind of frantic.She said there was something in the sky to the northwest.as i looked up i saw a long,lighted craft,looking at the distance i was appeared to be about 4-5 inches,there was no sound.as i was on the phone w/her it began to break up and buzz.i called 911,and they gave me the number to the ufo hotline.I explained to the man i was speaking with,that it was oblong(from my veiw)and had a line of flashing red lights,and it was moving in an odd manner(not like a conventional aircraft)rather up and down.i and my daughter watched for about 5 minutes as it moved to the northwest,and dissapeared.((NUFORC Note: We spoke with this witness, and with her son, and both of them sounded quite credible. We are awaiting illustrations from both witnesses. Please see other report from Seattle for this date. We believe the correct date for the sighting is September 18, 2002, the night they called our Center. PD))
