Description (In Witness's Own Words):  The sighting occurred near Yakima, Washington, USA.  The object was of triangular shape, hot purple/red lights, 3 of them, one at each corner, and one whitish light (exhaust) in middle underside. The object was hovering above and to the west of interstate I-82.  The object made no noise.

Investigator's Notes: This is a significant sighting in that it occurred during the daytime under good weather conditions and apparently was quite close to the witness.  The witness has not responded to my follow-up questions.  Triangular shaped objects are frequently reported, but most are reported at night.  With limited information I have no explanation for this sighting.
