No of observers: 1

Location: Brier, WA, USA

Shape: Chevron
Characteristics: Lights on object, Aura or haze around object

I saw and heard a chevron shaped, blue-ish lit object one night while outside.

I first heard a pulsating, high-pitched frequency sound up and behind me. It sounded like it could have been a half a block away. The sound occurred just after I had seen a "shooting star" pass overhead from the south traveling north. The sound continued for about a minute and I looked up in the direction of the sound to see a chevron-shaped, pale blue-ish lit object passing overhead. It was traveling at a great rate of speed with the sound accompanying it, in the same south to north direction as the "shooting star". Then in the blink of an eye it and the sound disappeared. It was chevron-shaped with individual pale blue or ultra-violet lights in precise and equal distance from one another forming the sides of the chevron. It was either one unit or several smaller units moving in absolute, precise unison with each other. I couldn't tell how high or how big it was, but I could hear the pulsating sound with it as it passed overhead, so it couldn't have been out of audio range and deducing from that it must have been pretty big. There was about seven lights in all. I'm 48, a single female, I have a MFA from the Univ. of Alaska. I don't have any particular interest in UFO's and have never had any previous experience or "sightings". I don't have much of a scientific/mathematical background and my interests have usually been more of an artistic/creative nature. I just happened to be out walking to my motor home on some friends' property that night and saw what I saw. What prompted me to file this report is: I saw an article in the Everett Herald (Wed. Jan 19th, 2000)about sightings in SE Illinois that fit the description of the object I saw this last August. You can contact me if you want.
