Here’s the
“Flying Saucer Reports” column from the Parkland (Tacoma metro area), Wash.,
Times-Journal newspaper from Dec. 5, 1957. Note report from
1/25/56 in Pullman.
…………….
Pullman,
Washington – 1/25/56 – On the basis of numerous
Substantial
reports from Military and Sunnyside Hills and GOC sky-
watchers, a
rapidly moving luminous object buzzed down over
College
Hill and the Airport just before 9:00 p.m. “The object
Seemed to
whip into town, was brilliantly white,” says one ob-
Server. “Then
it turned green, reddish, then disappeared in a trail
of what
looked like smoke.” At first sight the object was thought
to be an
airplane, but was too large. “It looked like a big moon,”
said Mrs.
T. A. Merrill.
Mrs. Ed
Wagner, who was at the Gardner Stacy home, was
another of
the many who saw the object. “It was bright bluegreen,
looked a
little bigger than the Bryan Hall clock, from the Stacy
home,”
says Mrs. Wagner, “and seemed to have a red fire or sub-
stance
dropping away from it. It lasted about a minute, long enough
for other
women at the meeting to see it.”
The Ground
Observer Corps who also observed the phenomen-
on,
reports there were no aircraft in the area at the time.

At the end of the column is this,
