               UNUSUAL REPORT OF A UFO AND A GREEN-FACED ENTITY   
                 SEEN NEAR AN OLD U.S.A.F. NIKE MISSLE BASE   
      
        DATE:      June 24, 1988   
                
        TIME:      Sometime between 12:30 and 2:00 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time   
           
        LOCATION:  Redmond, Washington   
           
        DURATION:  Estimates vary, around 7 minutes for sighting of UFO;   
                   about 45 minutes total duration including sighting of    
                   face, possibly longer   
           
        SOURCE OF SIGHTING:     UFO Information Service (Goudie)   
           
        INVESTIGATORS:          Donald A. Johnson, Ph.D., MUFON   
                                Don Olson, MUFON

        Four 11-year-old girls who had attended a private Christian    
   elementary school together were having a slumber party reunion at the    
   home of one of the girls on Education Hill in Redmond, Washington.  At    
   a few minutes after either 12:30 AM or 1:30 AM they were looking out    
   the window to see if they could find the girl's dog.  They were    
   downstairs in the TV room, while the parents and brother and sister of    
   the host were asleep upstairs.  They witnessed a craft-like UFO,    
   described as either a domed-disc or two plates put together edge-to-   
   edge, hovering in the night sky.  It had white and red lights and    
   possibly faint green lights around the rim of the object.  Of the two    
   girls interviewed, both thought right away that it was a UFO (i.e.   
   "spacecraft"), and not an aircraft because it was similar to a picture    
   they had once seen in a book.     
      
        The UFO was hovering at about 30 degrees above the horizon when    
   first sighted.  It was described as smaller than a house in size,    
   possibly 25 feet in diameter.  The UFO moved to the right horizontally    
   about 10 degrees, reversed direction abruptly and moved back in a    
   straight line to the left 10 degrees, moved back to the right 5    
   degrees to a center position, and then moved really fast straight    
   down.  It moved down behind some tall evergreen trees and the girls    
   thought that it probably came down in a clearing in Nike Park, about    
   3-4 blocks from the girl's home where they were staying.  The UFO was    
   reported to be visible through the window of the TV room for a total    
   of between 2 and 7 minutes.   
      
        Some time later, within 15 minutes to a half an hour, two of the    
   girls witnessed a frightening face.  The accounts of how the face    
   appeared to them varies.  In one account the girls thought they saw    
   something like a shadow or a figure at the top of the stairs leading    
   up to the kitchen.  The became scared and hid in their sleeping bags;    
   they zipped them over their heads and lay next to each other.  They    
   conversed through the bags and agreed to look at the same time, so    
   that it would not be too scary.  As they pulled the bags down from    
   over their heads they saw a dark, mossy green face only about arm's    
   length away.  Really frightened, one of the girls pulled the sleeping    
   bag over her head, and when she looked out again in a few minutes, the    
   being was gone.  The other girl's account said they were lying on    
   their backs trying to get to sleep and staring up at the ceiling when    
   all of a sudden they both saw this green face.  She watched it for    
   about 45 seconds, "and then it just, went away".  Asked if it just    
   vanished like it was a slide from a projector or something, she said,    
   no, it wasn't like that.  It was just like a real face, but it was    
   green in color and it was looking at them.  The second girl appears to    
   be unclear about how the face appeared because she also reports she    
   covered her head with the sleeping bag at one point but can't remember    
   when.     
      
        The face was described as greenish in hue, with red, glowing    
   eyes.  Interviewed separately, both of the girls said there was    
   something like a dent in one of the cheeks.  One girl said it looked    
   like the "face on Mars" photograph she saw in the newspaper about a    
   week later, while the other girl said it had pointy ears and bushy    
   eyebrows.  When asked a direct question later about the pointed ears,    
   the second girl said she didn't remember any ears.  If the face had    
   indeed been attached to a body, one girl figures that the being must    
   have been about 3 1/2 to 4 feet tall.     
      
        About 10 to 15 minutes later the second girl, who lived there,    
   saw a clump of rainbow colored lights slowly revolving in her kitchen    
   and flashing light all over the ceiling and refrigerator.  The first    
   girl made a vague reference to lights in the kitchen but apparently    
   did not see the rainbow-colored clump of lights hovering in the    
   kitchen (the kitchen is partially visible from the TV room, up half a    
   flight of stairs).     
      
        The girls became noisy discussing what they had seen woke the    
   mother.  The mother came down and ordered them to go to sleep.     
   Apparently nothing further happened that night.     
      
        Of the other two girls, they are certain that one saw what they    
   saw but would not consent to be interviewed by UFO investigators.     
   They are unsure what the fourth girl saw.  The second girl, the one at    
   whose home the events occurred, reported that she had had a    
   precognitive experience during that previous day, recalling during a    
   croquet match that she had dreamed those exact events some weeks    
   before.  She also reports that since the UFO incident she is no longer    
   subject to nose bleeds, which she reports have occurred to her    
   chronically throughout her life and also occur with her father.  She    
   also said that a soccer injury to her knee no longer gave her any pain    
   after the encounter, and she attributes the healing to the event.   
      
        The neighborhood in which her home is located borders an old Air    
   Force Nike Missle base.  Part of the property is now a Washington    
   State National Guard facility, part of it is deserted and belongs to    
   the local school district, and part of it has been converted to a    
   park.  We talked to a staff sargent on the National Guard base who    
   reported that he was sleeping at the base on the night in question and    
   recalls nothing unusual.  He reported that light aircraft tend to use    
   the base as a landmark and so overflights are frequent, and, during    
   the daytime hours, hot air balloons frequently come over the base from    
   the Sammamish River valley to land in some clearings to the east.
