SIGHTING: MOUNT VERNON, WA (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"Hi, I was just standing on my front porch earlier tonight about 6 p.m. and a triangular shaped flying object passed over with a very fast speed and low sound and within about 10 to 15 minutes there were helicopters circling searching for something. [ADDRESS REMOVED]. Any similar sightings. Triangular shaped, 3 white lights, 1 red center light blinking and the wide end was in front flying with the small tale behind. No emissions that I could see and very low sound for something that was flying so low and so fast. Let me know if you have any other sightings in this neighborhood. My husband is in the Navy and works on planes and he doesn't know of anything like this. It was heading Northwest toward the bright lights of the oil refineries in Anacortes and not towards the Burlington Airport. Thank you.

[UFO Hunters update (2014/01/22): Witness submitted a sketch: "I was on the phone and by the time I put the phone down it was gone in a matter of seconds without much noise. My lawnmower is louder than this object was. I was able to hear the person on the phone as it flew over. It was wide probably 40 to 50 feet across wide wing tip end and it flew very low and straight across the sky towards the refineries.
The round clear light were very visible and very bright probably measuring 3 to 4 feet in diameter. The small red like was like 6 to 9 inches in diameter. The clear light formed a perfect triangle with the red light in the middles. The craft however has the two front corners shortened off."]"
