UFO Reports Near Burbank, Washington Increasing, Says Peter Davenport of The National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC)

More reports come in of unexplained lights in night sky

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. . . .

Sightings of 'Odd Lights' Over Columbia River Reported To National UFO Reporting Center (NUFORC) in Spokane

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. . . .
