A Washington witness at Burlington driving northbound along I-5 near the Cook Road exit reported a "huge ball of light" hovering over a nearby quarry about 6:35 a.m. on March 12 2014, according to testimony in Case 54614 from the Mutual UFO Network ( MUFON ) witness reporting database.
"I observed a huge light hovering above a rock quarry off Kelleher Road," the witness stated. "It was a very bright white light like an LED- huge, big as a full moon appears when it's full at like 10-15 degrees above horizon. Biggest and brightest thing I've ever seen in sky."
The witness attempted to match what was being seen with a known object.
"As I looked at it I tried to rationalize what I was seeing, Maybe a helicopter with a new super bright searchlight of some kind? But no movement or flashing lights. Only saw it for about 30-45 seconds."
The witness attempted to find the object again when he passed out of sight due to the roadway.
"I was going up Bowhill and the object was out of sight. I turned off at the next exit (Bow Hill) and drove south down Highway 99 until I got back to the flats so I could get another look at it."
The witness also noticed police officers in the immediately area where the object was seen.
As I drove past where Kelleher and 99 meet I noticed two parked police SUVs door-to-door with no lights on and no one around outside of them. I drove south on 99 about another half mile to a bridge over the railroad tracks and turned around and didn't see the object or anything in the area anymore. When I passed by Kelleher Road again the two police SUVs were still there and with my headlights shining on them this time I could see no one was in the vehicles. Thought that was strange considering what I had seen and the proximity of the vehicles to the sighting location."
