Raven Courier--River woes

Three separate sightings of a large apparition have been reported in Duwamish in the last 48 hours. The Sheriff's officer reports that one Emily Philpot made the first call. Here is the transcript from Duwamish dispatch:

Dispatch: "Hello, what is your emergency?"

Philpot: "This is Emily Philpot. There's a large silvery thing in the sky just south of our place. It's moving in a strange and serpentine manner. It's a bit...ominous."

Dispatch: "Does it appear to be headed your way?"

Philpot: "No, just slithering about aimlessly. Have you heard of any severe weather in the region?"

Dispatch: "No, ma'am. We advise you to stay in your home with the doors and windows locked until we send a constable out."

Philpot: "All right, then. My stars! I think I see a fish lying on the lawn. Wherever did that come from?"

Dispatch: (Sighs) "Signing off, Madam."

The Sheriff reports that initially, he suspected a prank or hoax, but as two additional individuals of sound character have called, forces are being mobilized to investigate the sighting. The Sheriff is asking anyone with information to call his office.
