Whidbey Island, WA

As I was driving home from school with a friend, I decided to take a picture of the clouds as we drove over the Deception Pass Bridge. I took two pictures one right after another. It wasn't until the next day I noticed what I had captured on film. It was a round light source in the sky in front of the clouds. The Navy Base is about four miles from the sighting. This was not a plane! We haven't received copies of the photos, to the best of our knowledge. Possible lens "flare," we wonder? PD

Whidbey Island, WA

I was out on my deck at night, and I saw a light cruising by the bay. It waited there for about 10-20 seconds, flashing red and green. It then suddenly shot up into the sky, and as it passed through the clouds, it left a gaping hole in the cloud cover. Approximately 10-12 hours later, as I was at the beach near where the craft was spotted, there was a strange smell in the air and the trees were bent slightly back.
