- 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.
