Of course the radar returns may not be a real object and could possibly be due to other causes (radar angels, weather, anomalous propagation, etc.).Rey is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise and the main protagonist of the sequel film trilogy. In conclusion the radar map does show some unusual returns in general directions where witnesses saw UFO activity, but the times and distances are not consistent between radar and witness observations. The distance of the radar returns to the east-northeast is more consistent with witness observations as it is approximately 1.5 miles.) One can allow for possible errors in the witness reported times, but one has to be careful to not make the observations fit the radar data.ĥ. (The distance is nearly 6 miles for the returns to south. The times and distances are not entirely consistent. The only consistency between the radar returns and witness observations is in the direction. This is somewhat consistent with the fact that the video footage shows an object that eventually ejected another object.Ĥ. The returns show a radar track followed by the appearance of multiple returns at the end of each track. The pattern of radar returns both to the south and east-northeast are unusual. These computations were based on the fact that the cloud heights were 1,200 feet and that the object was right at the base of the clouds.ģ. Clearly when observing the video footage the object was much higher in the sky. However, this scenario is not likely because the object would have been only a little over 2 degrees above the horizon. Assuming that the video was taken of the returns on the above maps the object would have been about 840 feet in diameter given that the object was dime sized at arm’s length and was nearly 6 miles away (per radar returns). The cloud ceiling was fairly low (1,200 feet) on the night and times of the sightings. The radar returns to the east-northeast were at 6:01 PM which is nearly 15 minutes earlier.Ģ. In the second location the time of the sighting was at 6:15 PM.
The radar detects to the south were between 6:10 and 6:11 PM.
The video was thought to have been taken between 6:15 PM and 6:45 PM. However, the times may not be coincident with the times that both groups of witnesses saw the objects. The direction of radar detects of both sets of unknown returns is consistent with witness observations. Zoomed Map of Targets Detect to East-Northeast of 2nd Witness Location.ġ. The commercial aircraft were both flying over 30,000 feet so they would not have seen the object. The map below shows the location of unknown radar returns and of two commercial aircraft that passed through the area near the times of the sightings. Filtered data probably included ground targets (traffic), birds, weather and radar angels. The radar data received was somewhat unusual in that much of the primary (non-aircraft) returns had been filtered. If time permits, this denial may be appealed. Air Force has denied my request for data. Data was received from the FAA about one month after the request was made. This sighting was reported to UFOS Northwest.Īt the request of James Clarkson who is the director of MUFON for Washington State I requested radar data from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration for the local Spokane Airport and the U.S. They viewed the light through binoculars. The witnesses at the second location saw a large orange light to the East of their location. This sighting location was about one mile SE of where the video was taken. Another sighting was reported at around 6:15 PM PST. The sighting (and video) is believed to have been between 6:10 and 6:45 PM PST. The exact time of this sighting is not known. (This is the Eastern part of Spokane, WA area.) A video was taken of a bright object that dropped another object.
Background: On January 26,2014 two UFO sightings occurred in the Spokane Valley.
