-
- The city of Pocatello, and its airport sit to the east of
- the witnesses house. Glancing at the sky, Mrs. Trammell
- noticed what at first looked like a small aircraft flying
- from the southwest toward the northeast. Mrs. Trammells
- son, a privite pilot, often flys over her home, and she is
- familar with his altitude and approx. speed when he is flying.

- She stepped into her kitchen, and grabbed her 7 by 35 mm
- binoculars, and stepped back outside to view the aircraft.

- aircraft on this day of April 14th, 1988. She noticed that
- Prthe aircraft did not have any wings, appeared round, was
- a dark metallic color and traveling at about 150 to 200 MPH.
- At the closest the object was in relation to the witness, it
- passed directly over the subject at approx. 1000 feet. She
- noticed that the round object had dipped downward without
- slowing when overhead. Also, while observing the craft, she
- noticed that it had what appeared to her to be "portholes"
- in an uneven arrangement around the craft, and what appeared
- to be a strip around the middle that was self luminescence.
-
- Mrs. Trammell stated that she had the object in view for about
- 2 minutes, and no other aircraft were in sight. The outside
- temp. was 60 degrees f. She also stated that she listened for
- any sound, but the object was silent.

- A check was made with the Pocatello Police Dept. and the Idaho
- State Police, and the Pocatello Airport for any other reports
- of this sighting. All were negative.
