                         PRELIMINARY UFO REPORT   
      
        DATE:      March 5, 1988   
      
        TIME:      Between 9:20 and 9:25 P.M.   
      
        LOCATION:  West Seattle, Washington   
      
        DURATION:  1-3 minutes   
      
        SOURCE OF SIGHTING:     UFO Reporting Center 206-722-3000   
      
        INVESTIGATOR:           Donald A. Johnson, Ph.D., MUFON   
      
             While crossing the street on foot from a corner   
        convenience store a man and a woman observed a huge, metallic   
        spherical-shaped object surrounded by a corona of bright blue   
        light over the West Seattle golf course.  They described the   
        object as "as wide as a football field is long" (300 feet).  They   
        heard a humming sound, and estimated the altitude to be only 300   
        yards above the golf course.   
      
             They reported being nearly knocked down by a car because   
        they were standing there in the middle of the street "kind of   
        mesmerized" by the sight of such a strange object so close to the   
        ground in a populated area.  The driver of the car who stopped   
        got out and also watched the object.  Together they watched the   
        object for a period of approximately 30-40 seconds.  It moved   
        very quickly right, then left--in a zig-zag fashion as it gained   
        altitude--and then departed very quickly into the upper atmosphere.   
      
             The woman is in her thirties and works as a transit operator   
        for the regional transit system.  The man, her boyfriend, is in   
        his forties.  After the sighting they discussed what they had   
        seen with the other witness.  The other witness suggested that   
        they not report it to anyone and drove off without giving his   
        name.
