Washington Man Spent Last 25 Years Running National UFO Reporting Center
by Dave Somers and Ian Smay January 31, 2019 (krem.com)
• Peter Davenport is the Director of the National UFO Reporting Center in Harrington, Washington, which tracks sighting of UFOs across the country and compiles data relating to reported UFO sightings. He has served in the position for the last 25 years. (see 5:20 minute KREM 2 News report on Peter Davenport below)
• Davenport relates that we started calling these phenomena unidentified flying objects, or “UFOs”, in 1947. “We are being visited routinely about these things,” Davenport said.
• “I developed an interest in UFO work when I was very young, probably six years of age I estimate it was,” he said. “I saw a UFO on the outskirts of the St. Louis airport, seen by hundreds, possibly thousands of other people. Even though that was 1954 … the image of that object remains imprinted on my brain clearly, indelibly.”
• Davenport thinks these happenings are very important to humanity, as he talked about when describing a UFO sighting in Phoenix, Ariz. in 1997: “It was immense and it was hovering motionless over the witnesses,” Davenport said. “If this is true, if there is even a shard of a possibility this is true, it is the biggest scientific question confronting mankind.”
• One such occurrence happened in Spokane on Dec. 30, 2018. The UFOs were described as orange circles that made no sound. Another recently reported UFO sighting happened in Chewelah, Wash on Dec. 14, 2018. This one was much shorter, only lasting one to three seconds and described as “a big, bluish green sphere” that lit up the sky and was the size of a football field.
• “What worries me even more than the presumed aliens themselves, is the fact that our government is not sharing that information with the American people,” says Davenport. “This is wrong in my opinion.” He added that the press has not pushed the government hard enough to release information relating to UFOs and that the media needs to cover UFO sightings more often.
