November 16, 1997: Lights over the Northwest (Partial) - Linda Moulton Howe
Published 2 years, 3 months ago
Description
Art Bell presents investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe''s follow-up report on the mysterious lights witnessed across the Pacific Northwest two nights earlier. Howe interviews Ken Henriksen, president of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada in Vancouver, who watched the event for over a minute. He describes a white object that descended slowly before breaking into 36 pieces, insisting it was not a meteor based on its deceleration and extended duration.
NORAD confirms they tracked a Russian SL-12 rocket body launched November 12th, saying it broke apart over Vancouver. Reports of booms and shuddering walls in Abbotsford, British Columbia, along with newspaper accounts of debris falling in the suburb of Burnaby, support this explanation for the western sightings. However, NORAD acknowledges they cannot account for reports further east.
Howe presents witness testimony from Tenasket, Washington, describing red lights flying in formation, and from Sandpoint, Idaho, where seven stationary glowing globes hovered silently for up to ten minutes before vanishing instantaneously. She concludes that the events of November 14th involved more than a single Russian rocket reentry, with multiple unexplained phenomena occurring simultaneously across several states.
