SIGHTING: SILVER CREEK, WASHINGTON (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"I live in a semi-rural location on lake mayfield, in east lewis county washington, in the cowlitz river valley. i live alone in a trailer across the road from my parents house. i was in my home watching tv at 11:15. i heard a helicopter coming down the valley, it was extremely loud, so i decide to walk out on my driveway to take a look. i saw a helicopter and its running lights, it was coming at me at a 45% angle, slightly to my left at approximately 500 feet. as i watched it approaching i noticed the helicopter was following a black egg shaped object that was approximately 20 to 30 feet ahead of the helicopter and approximately 10 to 20 feet below the helicopter. it appeared like a black egg shaped shadow. it was a clear evening and as the helicopter and the object flew by me at a very brisk rate. i could see that there was actually an object in front and below the helicopter. as i watched, i could see that there was an object because it covered the stars that were directly behind it. i stood back and check myself by asking if i was sure i was seeing what i had saw, and yes i was absolutely positive. there was an egg shaped shadow being followed by what appeared, at the time, to be a black helicopter. i continued to watch as long as i could, approximately 3 minutes in total, as the object and the helicopter flew out of my line of sight. i stood there for a few seconds putting it all together in my mind. i felt bewildered at the sight. i had never seen anything of that nature before. i felt a little anxious as well and because of the time of night i waited till the next morning to tell my parents of what i had witnessed. i am convinced of what i saw!"
