Mike Klug is used to seeing lights in the night sky — every airplane that lands at the Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco flies over his Burbank Heights home.
But what the 52-year-old former Hanford technician saw last week has him scratching his head.
Just before midnight on March 24, Klug saw what he described as an orb with a bright light inside of it.
“It looked like a glass ball with an arc welder’s light inside of it,” said Klug, who grew up in Pasco and has lived in Burbank for 26 years.
Two nights earlier, just after midnight on March 23, Klug noticed some odd lights near his house and grabbed his videocamera. At first, he thought they were helicopters but realized they were several ultralights soaring over a nearby farm.
“That’s identifiable,” he said. “I knew what those were.”
What he saw on the 24th is a mystery, however. Klug described it as being no more than 500 feet off the ground and moving at 15 mph east toward Walla Walla.
“It dawned on me that nobody was going to believe this,” he said.
So he went inside to grab his videocamera, and he began to film. Klug captured about five minutes of video as the reddish-orange orb slowly moved away. Because his camera was still set on night vision from two nights prior, the orb shows as a bright white light on the video. The camera he used is about 25 years old, a Sony camcorder that uses “Hi8″ tapes.
“It was moving slower than an aircraft,” he said.
Krug should know, as his house is directly under the path every plane takes when it heads west into the Pasco airport, he said.
Peter Davenport, director of the National UFO Reporting Center outside of Spokane, said he had not received a recent report from Eastern Washington.
