The Encounter

The encounter took place in Long View, Washington, in February 1999. A group of 14 forestry workers was planting trees when they saw what they initially thought was a parachute. As it got closer, they realized it was a disc-shaped craft. The craft hovered over a herd of elk and picked up an adult female elk. Witnesses reported that the craft wobbled as it gained altitude with the elk. After a few minutes, the craft disappeared into the sky. The workers were unsettled and did not seek publicity. They later found a dead elk nearby, which had no visible wounds, leading to ongoing questions about the incident and its effects on the witnesses.
