     Several more Tri-Citians have come forward saying they saw unexplained lights in the sky as recently as Wednesday night, and self-described UFO tracking agencies are showing interest in the case.

The reports were similar to that of a Finley man who said he saw three lights gliding slowly from Burbank west over the Columbia River, then heading north toward Kennewick.

An air traffic controller has said the object likely was a military aircraft, and a Port of Pasco employee who saw the lights said he's certain they were military helicopters.

However, Peter Davenport, director of the Spokane-based National UFO Reporting Center who earlier said the sighting was consistent with a commercial aircraft, said Thursday that his interest in the case is piqued.

"I've gotten about eight calls (from witnesses) already," Davenport said Thursday.

Jerry Nelson told the Herald on Wednesday that he and his wife saw three lights -- two red and one white and red -- spaced far apart and gliding through the sky, moving "as slow or as fast as a blimp" between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Nelson said the object made no sound, and the size and slow speed it moved convinced him it was not an airplane. . . .

Finley man reports odd lights crossing Columbia River toward Kennewick

     Jerry Nelson said he doesn't know what it was he saw cross the Columbia River near Burbank heading toward Kennewick on Tuesday night, but he knows it wasn't a plane.

The Finley man said he couldn't distinguish an actual shape. He only could see three lights spaced far apart gliding through the dark sky.

"If I had a word to describe it, it was massive," he said. "It was long."

Nelson's sighting is the second report of an unidentified flying object in the Tri-Cities this year, both appearing to come from the Burbank area.

The sighting comes at the end of a two-month span of increased reports to a Spokane-based UFO reporting agency and a week-and-a-half after crop circles were discovered near Grand Coulee Dam, about 150 miles north of Kennewick. . . .

. . . Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Spokane, said he couldn't definitively say what Nelson saw Tuesday night, but said that "the lights on an airliner or craft are not inconsistent" with his description. . . .

"Suddenly as if like a zipper, the light shut off and the object disappeared before our eyes."

     I was recently visiting my Daughter in Maryland when we heard about the latest sighting of a UFO in Texas. I told my daughter about an event I and some of my friends had witnessed back in 1964. She said I should pass this info on those who might be interested even though it happens a long time ago.

On August 12, 1964 I was Burbank, CA having dinner on the veranda of a well known restaurant ( the Castaways ) located on a high hill right in the center of Burbank, CA. It was around 7:00 PM and there were at least 50 outside eating when all of a sudden some women next to us called everyone’s attention to an object in the sky. The sky was dark but not real black and what I saw as I looked up was what looked like was a large flying wing moving horizontal and coming towards us. It moved slowly and there was a brilliant white wavy light streaming a long distance from the trailing edge of the wing. It looked like it was going to pass right over our heads soon and I felt we would eventually see some markings on what appeared to be a brown colored metallic wing that would identify the object. By this time 3 minutes had passed and before it got overhead it stopped and then turned vertically upright and hover for less than a minute then the light on the trailing edge got very bright and extended its length from the trailing edge about a factor of 5. Suddenly as if like a zipper, the light shut off and the object disappeared before our eyes. Everyone was talking about it but after a few minutes everyone resumed their meal as if nothing had happened. My friend and I went inside the restaurant and used the phone to call a local TV station to see if any one else in Burbank had seen what we had seen, the answer was no.

I am a retired international oil/gas geologist and geophysicist; in 1964 I had come over from Algeria to have some seismic sections processed at the Bendix lab in Pasadena, CA. The next day I told my friend, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, who was in charge of the Lab about what I had seen. He told me to contact the military air force base near by, I did but they kept passing me on to someone else until I finally stopped trying to pass this info on.

To whoever might read this, the white light coming from the trailing edge of the wing was not like the rays of white flood light, this light was wavy like when one sees heat coming off the headway on a very hot day.

The attachment to this letter shows a sketch of what this UFO looked like.
