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.
