Statement from the witness:

My wife and I both witnessed a craft over Seattle, WA on August 28, 2007, between 2:45- 2:47 AM. We were out on our balcony facing West viewing the lunar eclipse that was occurring at the same time. I had my Nikon D90 digital camera setup on a tripod and was snapping off photos of the eclipse. When my wife saw the craft 'gliding' nearly over head towards the west I watched it for a bit and then swung the camera over to snap three shots.

Since my camera was setup to photograph the moon nothing really came out in the pictures. However, they are high resolution pictures (over 3000 pixels) and someone with the proper imaging tools might be able to find the craft in these pictures.

What we saw was essentially the same thing in the photo you have: A black silhouette triangular craft with an array of circular lights. We think there were 11-13 lights.

We have many planes fly over head, including the Blue Angels during Sea Fair and of course planes coming in and out of Boeing Field and Sea-Tac.

What struck me is that my ears were waiting for the roar of this craft's engines as it flew past us. We did not hear a sound and it appeared to be gliding at a constant speed on a fix trajectory (no turns, just smooth gliding). Here is a computer sketch attached my wife made of what she saw. It literally flew over downtown Seattle heading West/SouthWest."

Raw (first-hand) report from witness (reported Jan. 15, 2008):

My son saw this on his way to work. He drives from Denton, by way of the back roads. Its a faster route to work. At approx. 6.50am he turned east on sr.455 from Running Bear road. He saw bright white lights coming over the hill, on the opposite side of the dam. His first thought was (air craft). He had been in the Navy, in the past. He is familiar with aircraft. He started looking for the red and green lights. Not only did he not see them, but it was flying very slow approx. 30 mph. 30-50 yards away. It seemed to be hugging the shore line, flying at eye level. He slowed down, opened the car window, observed the craft as it went past. It made no sound at all. Black and gray in color. Delta shape. No bigger than his 1978 thunderbird. Rectangular rear, with three large round openings in side. No apparent thrust, no fire, etc. The top of the craft looked as if it had an extended canopy. Running about three quarters of the way down the fuselage. It was matallic as well. The bottom looked like it had panel lines. As I said, it had three white lights under it. Non blinking! He stopped by the house for a refill on his coffee, told my wife about it, drew a picture of the craft, and wrote down all details, then went off to work. After telling a co-worker at the shop his story, the guy told him he had seen it as well. But thinking people would think he was nuts, didnt say anything. His friend had seen it in Sanger (the town on the other side of the dam). Later the news cast ran a story on a sighting in Stevenville Tx. Thay are approx. 60 mi. south of us. The object thay saw, was very large. I see no comparison to that craft, but wonder if thay are related in some way. All I have to say is, is it one of ours? (This tecnnology is out of this world.)

Large UFO spotted near Winslow Northern Arizona Navajos watch a strange ship fly around for over an hour

By Rebecca Schubert Winslow Mail

LEUPP. Ariz. ‹ The possibility of life beyond earth is indubitable. So, we all wait on earth until that moment when something will attempt to make contact or visit this planet.

For some residents in Leupp, the wait ended with the most recent incident of a UFO visiting the area. It reportedly took place at approximately 7:40 p.m., Wed., Jan. 24 and was visible until after 9 p.m.

According to Sean and Deanna Dover, they were driving home from Flagstaff toward Leupp when Deanna spotted a curious looking object above their Honda Accord.

"I saw a bright light and told my brother to watch it," Deanna, 20, said. "Then it disappeared, then reappeared. I didn't see it as much as he did, because I had to concentrate on driving."

"We were about 10 miles out of Leupp and my sister said she saw something," said Sean, a senior at Sinagua High School. "It had a circle around it and was about one-and-a-half miles above us. It had three lights and was a triangular shape. We kept on driving and when we reached Leupp we saw it had four lights," Sean said.

The UFO then flew over the Church of the Nazarene and the Leupp Public School, they said.

"When it reached the edge of town it went into stealth mode and had only one dim light," Sean remembered.

The pair drove through Leupp and rushed home to tell their parents what they'd experienced.

"We went inside and got my dad's night vision goggles," Sean said explaining that his father is a Navajo Nation Police Ranger equipped with the special device enabling the user to see clearly in the dark.

Sean, Deanna and their parents then went outside to watch the object.

"Then two jets intercepted it in the air. They came from the southwest," Sean said. "Then it headed east. Eight minutes later it lost them and circled back to Leupp. When it got here it started blinking its lights."

Sean explained his confidence in the identification of the object as a UFO and not any other type of aircraft.

"It was traveling too fast to be an airplane and not emitting any noises that a helicopter or plane would have made flying that high," Sean said.

As the family viewed the events, their mother Daisy's friend and colleague Denise Fredericks, a fifth grade teacher at the Leupp Elementary School was witnessing the same things from her nearby home.

"I was coming home from my son's basketball game in Dilkon. When I came inside the house my husband said, 'Daisy just called and said there was something in the sky,' then I saw a triangular thing go overhead," Fredericks said.

Fredericks and Daisy Scott-Dover then met in the center of Leupp near the gas station and watched the events with approximately 30 other stargazers.

"There were two other planes and another aircraft that it looked like was refueling them," Fredericks said.

"It was flying straight and then it turned. It went toward Bird Springs and then turned toward Tolani Lake and then came back this way," she said.

Each of the witnesses described the object as triangular with three or four tiers. On the underside of the craft was a sphere with a pulsating light.

Fredericks and Scott-Dover said the UFO emitted a "yellowish" light and was approximately twice the size of the Leupp Elementary School gymnasium.

The UFO circled the area 15 times.

On the last turn, the craft lights went dark, then suddenly and rapidly illuminated across in a sequential pattern. Finally, the UFO headed southeast toward Winslow.

According to the viewers, several other witnesses attempted to snap shots of the events. However, due to the darkness and distance from the ground, capturing the aircrafts in a photo was not possible.

Each of those interviewed said the events were unique due to the proximity of UFO to the ground, as well as the fact that it was traveling alone. However, it was not the first time they had experienced the presence of a UFO.

"It was really interesting to watch. I believe that it really was a UFO because of my family's history. I've seen [UFO'S] too many times to remember," Sean said. "Leupp is a hot spot for UFO's."

Sean said that "normally" there are numerous UFO's traveling together in a triangular formation.

"We see them, well, I don't want to say we see them all the time, but it's happened before," Deanna said. "When they had that big sighting in Phoenix back in 1991, we saw the same lights here the night before. I guess it's just that no one ever calls it in or reports it here. This was pretty cool. I've never seen anything that detailed beforeŠbecause it was so close."

Dover-Scott and Fredericks agreed that Leupp residents are no strangers to such events and cited similar experiences 15 and 17 years ago.

"We get so excited about these things," Fredericks said. "It was unbelievable because you hear of sightings, but when it happens to youŠ."

"I guess people don't talk about it because it's kind of a mystery," Deanna offered.

Full Description & Details

We were stargazing in the backyard, facing east. Before the sighting we saw a satelite and a regular commercial airplane. Then, we saw a triangular shaped object traveling south-east. It was moving faster than an airplane. It was similar to an isosoleis triangle; the two longest sides were lined with atleast 6 lights each and the shortest side appered dark/transparent. It appeared to be as large as 2 1/2 moons. It was silently traveling low in the horizon.
