Gardinier observed three pancake-shaped objects approximately 20 to 30 feet across constantly quivering and oscillating in the air. The objects were capable of abrupt changes of direction and speed, yet also could hang motionless in the air. The objects were a metallic bronze color. No sound was heard from the objects. Mrs. Gardinier and Mrs. Lowell Allen, observed the third object as it climbed and disappeared toward Fairchild AFB. The objects first appeared from the NW until they were abreast of the NW corner of Spokane, orbiting there for approximately five minutes then they headed SW towards Fairchild AFB. At 10:00 p.m. Capt. and Mrs. Fortney while driving on Highway 2 near Fairchild AFB, observed a bluish white light approaching their car at a high rate of speed. The light passed over the car and proceeded on a SW course overflying the hangers areas and runways of FAFB. Detailed reports and documents reports/500903spokane_report.htm (Dan Wilson)
