Peter Davenport of the National UFO Reporting Center presents new developments in the Bangor, Washington UFO case from April 22, 1998. A witness in Poulsbo describes a 50-to-60-foot glowing disc with a black center hovering roughly 300 feet above the ground near the submarine base. The object was first spotted north of Seattle before streaking south, pausing over Bangor, then hooking east toward Yakima. A former Marine guard from the facility calls in to describe security protocols. Davenport reveals that a civilian official who initially confirmed the incident has reversed his account after media inquiries, and reports that a civilian videotape of the object may exist.
During open lines, a listener named Sandy plays a chilling audio recording of a ghostly voice captured on her daughter's tape recorder in a house where a murder-suicide had previously occurred. The disembodied voice appears to whisper a short plaintive sentence that leaves Art visibly unsettled.
Key Moments
India nuclear tests caught U.S. intel asleep: Art reads a news report that U.S. spy satellites detected preparations at India's test site six hours before three nuclear detonations, but the analysts responsible for tracking India's nuclear program were all home asleep.
Witness describes disc-shaped craft over Bangor sub base: An audio cut from a Poulsbo, Washington witness who lived a half mile from the Bangor submarine base describes a tilted, 50-to-60-foot circular disc with a glowing white underside and a black center, moving north to south directly toward the base on April 22, 1998.
Bangor public affairs officer reverses his story: Davenport explains that the senior civilian public affairs officer at Bangor had confirmed to him there had been an 'incident,' but when KOMO Television called the same man a day later, he denied ever making that representation.
Videotape of the Bangor UFO surfaces: Live on the air, Davenport reveals that the Poulsbo witness has just told him a videotape exists of the object crossing the Bangor submarine base. KOMO TV tried to obtain it but couldn't secure the rights in time.
Marine guard says Bangor has no airborne defense: Davenport relays a former Marine area-guard's claim that the Bangor submarine base has effectively no defense against an airborne threat because so much commercial air traffic overflies the facility constantly.
