Computers On-Line Presents: An Idaho Report

A report to MUFON concerning a report submitted by

Don C. Mason State Director Idaho, MUFON

At approximately 7:00 PM Mountain Standard Time, Mrs.

Barbara Trammell of Pocatello, Idaho stepped outside of

her home onto her patio. It was approx. one hour prior to

sunset, and although the sun was out, there were a few clouds

in the sky.

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. Trammel's

son, a private pilot, often flies over her home, and she is

familiar 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.

She noticed that there was something different about this

aircraft on this day of April 14th, 1988. She noticed that

the 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.
