Our plea for submissions netted an email relating a strange event in the Bryant neighborhood last night. And since they are our near and dear (and, as yet, unblogged) neighbors, we are more than happy to represent them here.
The confounding occurrence is as follows:
I wonder if anyone else has mentioned a small plane that seemed to be flying very low over Ravenna-Bryant last night. Not sure exactly what time it was, maybe 11:30 or thereabouts. I wasn’t asleep yet so know I wasn’t dreaming, but I didn’t see any mention of it in the Times today and am wondering what the heck it was doing! It wasn’t a helicopter on the way to/from the hospital, I know what those sound like. It was so weird – it kept circling and coming back, low enough to shake the windows. I was about to call the police when it stopped.
Sounds kinda crazy, huh? It was pretty freaky!
If you have any info, I’d love to find out what was going on and what to do if it happens again. It was actually quite scary.
Thanks,
Karen (Bryant neighbor)
My guess is a combination of low cloud cover and seaplanes. But those don’t usually circle.
Anyone have any better ideas? Or who she might call if it happens again?
The truth is out there.
UPDATE: I did a little online sleuthing, and found out how to report aircraft noise and/or low flying aircraft: Contact our local Flight Standards District Offices in Renton. Their contact information (phone, email, fax and flare [just kidding]) is all right here.
