|
|
|
|
> So what do you think it was?
|
|
|
|
I do not know. It was very difficult to see any real form to the object -
|
|
all I recall seeing was the lighting. It is difficult to describe, but I can
|
|
say that while it would be possible to recreate the event on a limited scale,
|
|
say on a computer or with some special video machine (maybe a Toaster?), what
|
|
I've seen so far on computers doesn't really come close, and this thing was
|
|
real and in the sky (not on video)!
|
|
|
|
> Could you make out an outline?
|
|
|
|
How so? What do you mean, make an outline of what I saw? Probably, but it
|
|
would just sort of be where I saw lights.
|
|
|
|
> Have you checked with the airport on flights yet?
|
|
|
|
There were probably 12 flights in the area at the time. The only thing I
|
|
could really check at an airport with would be whether or not anyone else saw
|
|
this thing. I do know that it didn't go to Scottsdale Muni, and that there
|
|
was a jet overhead heading for Phoenix when I first saw it, and that the
|
|
sound of the jet faded as it got further away, and I didn't hear anything
|
|
else (like sounds from this thing), but it's tough to say exactly how close
|
|
it was.
|
|
|
|
> Did it appear to be intelligently controlled?
|
|
|
|
There was no apparant significant winds that would have carried an object or
|
|
balloon in so straight a line and at such a speed.
|
|
|
|
> Did it make any erratic movements?
|
|
|
|
No, the movement was, in fact, exceptionally smooth, straight, and the turn
|
|
that it did make was (as far as I saw it) very clean and smooth.
|
|
|
|
> Any estimates on size or distance?
|
|
|
|
Yeah, over the lake about half a mile away and maybe ... well, bigger than a
|
|
helicopter, bigger than the AirEvac chopper by maybe twice or three times.
|
|
|
|
> What exactly was it that first drew your attention to this object and
|
|
> at what point did you first realize that this may have been something
|
|
> other than a conventional aircraft?
|
|
|
|
The brightness, clarity, and whiteness of the lights (first seen out of the
|
|
corner of my eyes, which makes it look even brighter at night as that makes
|
|
you use the rods, or B/W light-detecting nerves, of your eye). When I
|
|
realized the color, number, and way in which the lights flashed, and when my
|
|
wife pointed out that it was slowly rotating, I finally realized that it was
|
|
not a normal aircraft.
|
|
|
|
> Has anyone else come forward to report this?
|
|
|
|
I have not heard reports on this specific object. There have apparantly been
|
|
a few reports of strange craft over the valley in the past few weeks.
|
|
|
|
> Do I ask enough questions? <g>
|
|
|
|
Don't think me rude, but ... probably not. These things have to be looked at
|
|
very, very closely and with a subjective, if not jaundiced, eye. I don't
|
|
know what I saw. If I saw it again and someone said, "Oh, that, it's just a
|
|
...", I'd be willing to accept it. At this point, I do not believe that it
|
|
was a normal, prosaic aircraft. I've been staring at them for years and have
|
|
yet to not at first get a little hope in the heart, followed by a, "Oh,
|
|
shucks, well, just another jet" or "Oh, well, that's a helicopter", etc.
|
|
This thing, I kept looking and looking and it never resolved itself into a
|
|
normal aircraft I could recognize or into ANYTHING I could recognize. Even
|
|
the bolide I saw, at first I thought it was an aircraft blowing up, then I
|
|
realized it was a meteor (bolide, whatever). Never did it cross my mind that
|
|
it was an alien spaceship or whatever, because it wasn't. I'm still confused
|
|
about this thing - I just do not know what it was.
|
|
|
|
Thank you for your interest,
|
|
|
|
Steve
