Multiple witnesses observe 'fireball' UFO over Vancouver, Washington

Brenda Ellis was getting ready for bed Thursday night when her brother called her outside and pointed to the sky. Before she could respond, Ellis said her daughter, Ashley Ellis, let out a shrill scream.  Darting back and forth in the night sky were what Ellis described as four unidentified flying objects.
