A Washington witness reports that several military helicopters flying west at 300 feet moving over I-5 had nets that carried either a disc-shaped or triangle-shaped object about 1 p.m. on April 11, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness states that two Boeing CH-47 Chinook helicopters were flying south along the I-5 corridor for about 30 minutes when the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters crossed I-5 at the Green Hill exit with the nets in toe.
"Three Black Hawks flew with a net slung between them, one in the lead, two trailing, and two gunships after them with guns trained on the loaded net," the witness stated. "The air speed was approximately 140 mph, limiting the sighting to several seconds per group. Two of the cargos contained disc-shaped loads, 15-foot diameter. The third, not necessarily in that order contained an isosceles triangular-shaped object, similarly sized to the Black Hawk copters."
A neighbor of the witness also reported that a convoy of military trucks was seen along Highway 6 at noon and heading east with troops inside one of the trucks.
I-5 is the only north-south interstate in Washington and runs the entire length of the state between borders with Oregon and Canada. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report, which was filed on April 12, 2011.
Washington is a current UFO ALERT 5 rating, with a low number of UFO sightings nationally. Washington had 7 UFO reports in March 2011 - while California had 45 sightings, the highest reporting state in the nation.

WA, April 11, 2011 - Helicopters carrying ufos in nets. MUFON Case # 28642.
Around 1:00 pm on day of sighting 2 chinook helicopters flew south along I5 corridor. Several Copters were in the area flying low making triangulation difficult. They were in the area around 30 minutes when a group of helicopters flying low, app 300' flew from the east heading west at a high rate of speed. They crossed I5 at the Green Hill exit, I think mp 76.
Three Blackhawks flew with a net slung between them, one in the lead two trailing, and two gunships after them with guns trained on the loaded net. The air speed was app 140mph limiting the sighting to several seconds per group. Two of the cargos contained disc shaped loads, 15' diameter. The third, not necessarily in that order contained a isocelles triangular shaped object, simillarly sized to the Blackhawk copters.
It was reported by a neighbor that a convoy of deuce and a half trucks were seen going up highway 6 at around noon, heading east. Troops were seen inside one of the trucks.
At midnight an observer drove east on highway 6 app 10 miles. The road was void of traffic except for two Washington State Patrol cars parked together.
At midnight there was nothing in the air. I went up on a hill in Olympia and watched for 30 minutes at 1:00 am surveying a huge area and did not see anything flying. This is a main flight corridor for SeaTac, Portland International, and McChord Air Force Base. At this point you can clearly see the Olympia airport, flights out of McChord, and the flight corridor between Seattle and Portland.
