Either the flying disks are bypassing Seattle onlookers for disks were resting their chin necks yesterday.
Reports of disks seen over Seattle, which reacher a peak Monday night, fell off sharply. Only two reports were phoned to the Post-Intelligencer all day yesterday.
Chet Proud, 3040 N. 36th St., flying a seaplane over the Sound off Ballard, saw two or three disks over the Olympic Mountaine, "high and going very fast," at about 9 a.m., he said.
Earl Klenpke, 2004 17th Ave. S.W., said he saw a single disk at 2:30 p.m. It was traveling northwest over the city at about 75 or 80 miles an hour, "moving in a straight line with an up and down motion."
He said the disk was "very shiny," oval-shaped, about 8 feet high and 10 feet long, and had a glass dome atop it. Klenkpe said he observed the disk through field glasses for seven minutes and that his mother saw the disk, too.
