Other over Espanola (Medical Lake area), WA

The report, as filed

The UFO went over the field south of my house in the direction of the AFB. This is the same field that the planes come over to land at the AFB. However, it was not coming down like it was going to land at the AFB, it looked like it was continuing to go straight and the lights faded. My friend and I were talking on the phone. We had been looking at a planet to the east, when we noticed the object to the south. I could only see the white windows spaced out in the sky in a line. To me it looked like a long train. I could not see the shape of the object in the sky, but I took pictures of it with my cell phone. In the last photo the lights started fading and when I enlarged it on my phone, I could see somewhat the outline of a shape. To me it looked like a long hot dog with windows. I tried to print it off, but I could not print it off, because it has to be enlarged to see a shape. Also, after the 3rd photo I took, there is like a contrail going up beside it towards the sky or coming down from the sky like maybe something streaked by it. The object took about a minute to pass over the field and there was no sound and the lights faded and it disappeared in the night sky. This is an area that is in the country. The photos I took can be seen better by text and you can enlarge the last text to see the object better in the last photo (194819), which I was not able to attach. I called Crime Check to report it and they gave me the UFO Hotline number. No one else had reported it at that time.
