National UFO Reporting Center Sighting Report
Occurred : 3/8/1960 03:00 (Entered as : 03/08/1960 3:00 AM) Reported: 12/29/2022 8:21:42 PM 20:21 Posted: 3/6/2023 Location: Sumner (Lake Tapps), WA Shape: Oval Duration: 10 minutes Characteristics: This is a possible UFO abduction case, Missing time was experienced
I was about five years old when suddenly out of a sound sleep I sat up straight out of bed looking towards the tree line through the converted bus windows that served as our bedroom for me and my siblings. I watched as a sphere similar to Sputnik of the day or a ball with spikes sticking out of it slowly rotated above the trees coming my way. I at first thought it maybe falling but it kept a level altitude. Once it got closer and was above me it stopped . I did not see it in the opposite window fly over. Then like some one turned a switch off in me I fell back from a sitting position in my bed back onto my back asleep. I did not wake again till later that morning and drew a pic of what I saw and told my mother. 3 years later I saw a drawing of what I saw in a ufo book at our school library. Some reported seeing little green men in a similar craft though I did not see any.
