Richland helicopter-like object with stationary rotor

An observer in Richland, Washington used a telescope to observe a shimmering speck at extreme altitude that appeared helicopter-like with a stationary rotor. One object darted away to the west and disappeared; another was observed continuously for two minutes until it disappeared.

“At about 14:30 hours we sighted a bright shimmering speck at very extreme altitude, perhaps 30,000 feet perhaps much lower. This speck hovered at a north azimuth to Richland of about 80 degrees, I tried to pick up the object in the telescope and while trying to locate it in the very small field, about 15 minutes angle, my friend located another similar speck a Short distance away. At this time we were convinced that they were birds, but had not yet sighted one in the glass because of the small field. Suddenly one of the specks ceased hovering and darted off to the west and disappeared.”
