FLYING SAUCER MAYBE?-The unknown object over the building in the picture, photographed above Anacortes, moves swiftly through the sky, seemingly a part of a cloud formation. But is it? Walter Elliott of Anacortes was preparing to take a picture of the building when he noticed the unusual saucer-like object in his view finder, so he snapped the picture at 1/100th of a second.
