I was in the car, my friends and I were driving back from paddle boarding in penn cove, towards Boon Road. I was looking out the window and saw what I thought was a plane. It was white/greyish and it was flying the same direction we were going. It was a cylinder-like shape and it was tilted slightly up, I genuinely thought it was a plane. After four seconds of looking at it, it disappeared extremely fast. It was there and then it was gone. It was blue clear skies, there was clouds up ahead but not close enough for the craft to disappear into. [NUFORC annotation: Aircraft - Probable]

I was just going back into the office when I looked up at the sky towards the sun, there was a cloud in my direct line of vision - I noticed this black sphere moving past the cloud and continued moving (about 2500ft - 5000ft) - it was moving at a very fast and steady pace - not a bird, we often get eagles here flying high up but they are easy to distinguish. I ran indoors to find my camera, but knew I would possibly not see the black sphere due to the rate it was moving, which was the case. I could not see it once I went back outside. If it remained on course I would say it would pass over Dugualla park in Oak Harbor.

Earth Day welcomed an unexplainable visitor. The star-speckled backdrop of the night sky was overshadowed by the presence of an unexpected craft. A triangular shaped vessel greater in length than any aircraft carrier this submariner ever saw, passed stealthily over the tree canopy not more than 500’ to 700’. With the exception of bow and stern light, there wasn’t a peep coming from this vessel, not even an engine roar. Even the owls, coyotes, blue heron and frogs took note of its presence as all went silent. The city lights were just enough to unveil the outline of the craft but not enough to identify any markings indicating origin. As it passed overhead heading east towards Everett from Whidbey Island, I raced to an open meadow to witness this magnificent event with greater clarity. I know what I saw. I just don’t know who sent it. The next day I waited patiently for the subject to air on the radio and nothing would be said. Even the naval air station that is just nine miles away as the crow flies from the event made no mention of it. A couple of days would pass before the subject would appear on a local radio show a friend and I were listening to. It appears that this is not the first time such a sighting had appeared in this region or around the country for that matter. Not surprising though that this sighting didn’t make the radar of the federally controlled national media.
