National UFO Reporting Center Director Peter Davenport shared the most dramatic UFO sightings he was investigating at the time. One such case took place on February 25, 1999, when a group of forestry workers in Washington state saw what at first they thought was a parachute. They were astonished to see an aerial object and quickly called their coworkers to look at it too. Seen by 14 witnesses, the craft drifted toward a herd of elk; the craft then picked up a fully grown adult elk, did a circle, and flew off to the Northeast. The witnesses did not see a beam, and the craft was not much bigger than the elk, Davenport recounted.
He described the witnesses in the elk case as sober-minded, modest, soft-spoken, and not interested in any publicity, and presented audio of some of their interviews. Davenport commented that he's amazed at our government for lying to us about the phenomenon - especially after the amount of defense money spent to defend against these craft. MUFON Washington State Director of Investigations, Robert A. Fairfax, joined part of the conversation.
