Duration: 20 seconds
No of observers: 1
Location: Tacoma, WA, USA
Shape: Disk
Characteristics: Lights on object
a large disk spacecraft the size of a Boeing 727 seen in the evening skies over Tacoma, Wn.
Saw a disk space craft fly over Tacoma in the evening at 11PM after returning from a date. It was quite, had lights like windows around the perimeter of the craft, and was the size of a Boeing 727. McCord Air Force Base is close by and I sometimes look up into the sky to spot the planes that go by.
This siting was over 45 years ago but I just stumbled onto your site recently. I have not seen a UFO since then but in mentioning the siting to others, I have been surprised to hear other stories from friends.
In a car pool to a job at Boeing, one of the engineers said that he saw a cigar shape UFO. At work at Boing, a technical support analyst told me that he was traveling to California on the freeway from Washington and all the cars stalled out when a "bunch of ufo's flew overhead". In Galveston a computer operator told me that a UFO DISK shape flew over the caseway one day while he was traveling to work in Galveston. In every case this information was not provided until I said that I had seen a UFO once.
NUFORC Note:
One of two good reports from the same witness. Second report is posted for July 25, 1952, for a sighting over Tacoma, WA. Dates are approximate. PD
