ashw_justin Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 We were just heading out from the Mt. Baker high camp around 2 am to climb, when all of a sudden this huge streak of orange and red set the sky ablaze. What a sendoff! Quote
chirp Posted June 4, 2004 Posted June 4, 2004 Yup, I had gotten up for a drink and saw a brilliant flash outside...I thought it was fireworks but it was too bright and brief! Quote
nolanr Posted June 5, 2004 Posted June 5, 2004 Are you sure you don't mean 94 Bug? I saw one of those events while out walking in Olympia with friends after dinner. Winter night, but clear, and we had an excellent view of about 7 twinkling masses of varied size slowly cross the horizon. Really freaked out the drunk sitting along on a bench, he wanted to make sure we'd seen it too. News afterwards claimed it was a Russian satellite. Edit: A little searching reveals it was November 1997. Here's a link from a questionable source (ufoinfo.com ), but the descriptions of the event are as I remember, including the claim it went down in the Pacific despite the fact it was still well above the horizon as it disappeared east. I remember that. I was heading east on the Mt. Baker Hwy. Happened to be pulled over and looking up and saw it. Very cool. I agree, I don't know how it crashed into the Pacific when it appeared to be moving across my field of vision to the east and we were well inland from the Puget Sound. Quote
Bug Posted June 5, 2004 Author Posted June 5, 2004 I dunno man. It all kind of blurrs together. It was 84. I was living in Missoula and going to college. Quote
