SUBJECT: UFO INFO Service Reports FILE: UFO1119 PART 36 Report #: 196 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-01-1986 Subject: BURIEN, WA CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 30 NOVEMBER 1986 TIME: 0155 HOURS DURATION: 30 - 45: SECONDS WITNESSES: TWO SOURCE: CUFON - UFO INFORMATION SERVICE -------------------------------------- John Williams of KIRO television called CUFON - UFO Information Service with a report that he had received from a witness near Burien, WA. The witness reported seeing some kind of object in the southern sky coming at him with smoke coming out the back of it and appeared to break apart. There was one light and it then broke off in like 4-5 different off shoots with smoke on each one. The witness and his mom with several others said it appeared to be a parachute that went right over their heads, but it was moving very very quickly. The metal object with a parachute on it went over their heads and the other off shoot pieces went in different directions. What appeared to be a parachute the witness did not think was as it went over his head very very fast. John Williams also stated that after receiving the report he called the Sea-Tac duty officer at FAA and he said that it could have been in cloud lightning because there were no military aircraft in the area at that time. CUFON - UFO Information Service then called the witness to get his direct report. The witness stated that he was over at his parents when he saw a bright light coming out of the south. He thought it was one of the lights from a jet coming into the airport at first as they are right by the airport, but realized it couldn't be because the Sea-Tac Burien airport would be farther to the east. Then his mom came out and he pointed it out and her description of it was the best, she described it as a sparkler where you are looking at the center of it with smoke coming off it. As the bright light started dimming you could still see the smoke. It seemed to break up and he lost track of all the other pieces save one. It looked as if they had flown off it. The one big piece came sailing out and it looked like a parachute with something on the end of it heading from south to north slightly northeast over their heads at what seemed like an incredible velocity. It looked, shape wise, like a parachute. The fact that it seemed to be going so fast made him think it had to be some kind of space craft or something. He never saw it descend, it just shot across the sky. Observation was 30-45 seconds. -------------------------------------- Report #: 197 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-01-1986 Subject: CULVER CITY, CA CASE TYPE: LRS - NL DATE: 21 NOVEMBER 1986 TIME: 2340 - 2345 HOURS DURATION: 05-07: MINUTES WITNESSES: ONE SOURCE: CUFON - UFO INFORMATION SERVICE -------------------------------------- One witness reported seeing over her street, LaSalle, an object that the nose of it looked like a boomerang with a pyramid bottom. It was a very windy and particularly clear night and when she looked to the north she saw a formation coming towards her and her first impression was that it was a flock of birds and then as it got closer it looked like a formation of stars. They had a luminous glow to them and they didn't look like head lamps or anything like that. As it came closer she noticed there were more lights going across the bottom of it like a stingray - solid at least underneath and she could not see through it. As it came towards her the lights shut off in the center and only the outline was left on. Stayed there for about 5-7 minutes watching. As it came over her it went further up in the sky and it was weird as no light in the belly of it but she could see a formation of it and what it looked like but it kept fading in and out. The lights in the front of the object stayed on, no noise. The object was much larger than any plane she has ever seen from wing to wing. A boomerang has very wide angles from one end to the other as the object did also, and the nose of the object was not sharp. -------------------------------------- Report #: 198 From: UFO INFO SERVICE Date Sent: 12-10-1986 Subject: BAKERSFIELD, CA CASE TYPE: LRS DATE: 12 JULY 1986 TIME: UNKNOWN DURATION: UNKNOWN WITNESSES: THREE SOURCE: MERCURY NEWS, SAN JOSE, CA -------------------------------------- REDONDO BEACH - Andy Hoyt admits he has no proof - not anymore, at least - that he witnessed the crash of an aircraft that may be the Pentagon's most carefully guarded secret. His sister, Lisa, and her 16-year-old son, Joey, reportedly also saw the plane, but both declined to discuss the alleged incident. Hoyt, an unemployed Redondo Beach carpenter, says he snapped photographs of the plane as it plummeted to the ground in the Sequoia National Forest near Bakersfield. But the photographs were given to the Air Force, Hoyt says, and the Air Force isn't talking. Defense experts, however, say Hoyt's description of what he claims he saw that night fits the most educated guesses of the configuration of the top secret F-19 stealth fighter - a plane the Air Force will not confirm even exists. In a scenario that sounds like a science fiction movie, Hoyt says he and two relatives saw something drop out of the sky and explode into flames on the other side of a hill about a half-mile away. "It seemed like it was something other than an airplane, said Hoyt, 26, who was on a camping trip. "Believe it or not, I thought it was a UFO." Whatever it was, he says, the military has been treating him royally since he called Edwards Air Force Base when he returned home the following Sunday evening and told the Air Force about the photographs. Hoyt says he and his party were driving east on state Highway 178 about 15 miles northeast of Bakersfiled in the early morning hours of July 12 when they pulled over for a brief rest. He was just climbing back into his truck when he saw it. "All I saw were three red lights and a dark image behind them like an upside-down triangle." Hoyt said, adding that each light was at a point of the triangle. He said he pulled a camera from the dashboard of the truck and managed to take two or three pictures before the plane disappeared over the hill. Then, a pair of explosions "lit up the sky like it was daylight out." Contrary to published reports on the day of the accident, Hoyt says, the aircraft did not explode before it crashed. At least one Air Force source has been quoted as saying plane exploded in midair, which could explain why the pilot, who was killed, was not able to eject safetly. "It was definitely not on fire when it came down," Hoyt said. "Why couldn't the guy eject?" After making sure the blaze was reported on an emergency roadside phone, the party continued to its campground north of nearby Lake Isabella. His call to Edwards upon returning home brought a sudden response from the Air Force, Hoyt says. "They took my name and number and within an hour someone had flown down here and talked to me," he said. "They didn't press me, but they wanted to see the film in my camera." -------------------------------------- ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
