They were amazed and baffled by what they saw, but they received ·- 0 some confirmation from an unex pected source: the local newspaper. On the front page of the East Ore gonian the next day, a small article told of a pilot who landed in ' Pendleton and claimed to have seen nine "saucer-like aircraft" fly ing at about 10,000 feet near Mt. IIIII Rainier at an estimated speed of 1,200 mph. The next day there was a ·- much larger story about Kenneth 1: Arnold, a pilot and businessman from Boise. The wire services picked up the story and it was printed around the country. In ret I rospect, Timm wishes his family had spoken up at the time about what they'd seen. Others did. The June 30 EO included a short story reporting that Bill Schuening, fore 1: man of the Lester King ranch about 15 miles north of Pendleton, saw flying objects similar to those Arnold described seeing that same Tuesday. Morton Elder, a McKay Creek farm wife, reported in the same story seeing flying saucers the Sunday afterward. In 1987, at age 70, Schuening reit erated his story shortly before he died. "I told my wife about it. She said I was crazy to say anything," Schuening recalled in that '87 story. Fear that people would scoff is one reason the Timm family kept mum. But Roy Timm doesn't care what people think now, although he's sometimes annoyed many don't have more open minds on the topic. "I hate to see people so dogmati cally sure there's nobody out there but us," he says. The fact that several people reported seeing "saucers" the same day as Arnold and the Timms helps substantiate the sightings, Timm says. Once Arnold's story went on the wire, reports of similar sight ings were reported from as far away as Oklahoma City. The reports had many similari ties. Arnold reported the flat, shiny objects weaving "like the tail of a Chinese kite." Timm says the saucers "wavered' through the ·air as though they were bucking will:cf" even though the day was still and sunny. Scheuning, the Timms an.d the report from Oklahoma City all noted that the objects made no noise. That experience as a 12-year-old started Timm on a quest for infor mation and understanding that has intensified in recent years. He has collected shelves of books and memorabilia on the topic and talked to dozens of people who con tend they have seen flying saucers and extraterrestrial beings, been abducted by "ETs" or seen .!!hYsical signs that flying saucers exist. Most of those conversations have been with people who live in northeast Oregon, which along with southeast Washington seems to be a particu - larly fertile area for sightings. Timm says matter-of-factly that he knows of six people in the ca Pendleton area who have been abducted. He knows of many more u people who say they have seen fly ing saucers.
