Jennifer Welter
Jennifer saved her first paycheck from the National Football League, which she received April 30, 2005. This pay check amounted for $12.00, but it meant much more than that to her. This was her reminder of how much football meant to her. In fact, she still carries it around today motivating others along the way. In a recent ESPN interview, Jennifer explains how " didn’t start playing football to be here, the beauty of this, while it wasn’t a dream could have ever had, now it’s a dream other girls can grow up having"(). With much knowledge and experience in the game of football, she has proven women to be powerful and strong in the athletic world alone. She is not the 1st female to play a dominant male sport; however, she is the 1st woman to play a “contact” position in a male dominant sport.
Arizona Cardinals
Her coaching style does not differ from many, according to Cardinals' Tyrann Mathieu. In fact, her knowledge for the game and experience has been proven as the Arizona Cardinals enters 2015-2016 NFL season with a record of 3-0. Washington Post most recently added that: "The biggest question coming in was would guys in the NFL respond to a woman coaching them, and the obvious answer is yes" (). Welter has taken on courageous job. She is destined to prove that she is capable to stay in the NFL business and teach the sport she has played herself for 14 years, specifically the linebacker position.

The Vancouver, Washington UFO sighting occurred over two evenings in February 2011, as reported by many eyewitnesses in the Clear Meadows neighborhood of Vancouver, Washington, United States.
Description of events
Reports included purple and red flashing lights appearing on the evening of February 20, 2011, as well as a saucer shape with green and red lights reportedly appearing just before 7:00 pm to Vancouver residents on the evening of February 21, 2011. Witness descriptions of the object included hovering for several minutes with occasional darting, side-to-side motions. No noise was reported to accompany the sightings.
One photo and two video recordings of the sighting were submitted to local media organizations. A photo by Joey Studdard shows a red dot with a trail of blue lights on a black background. A video of 52 seconds in length submitted to the KATU news webpage by Sandy Curtis, shows a set of flashing red lights, out-of-focus against a black background. Due to the hand-held motion of the camera and the absence of any background imagery, size and movements are very difficult to determine. A second video recorded on March 2, 2011 is over five minutes in length. Again, motion, size and speed are difficult to determine.
Possible explanations
Peter Davenport, the director of the National UFO Reporting Center, first gave an opinion that the object spotted on February 21, 2011, was the star Sirius. Being the brightest star in the sky, Sirius is more likely to exhibit twinkling, color-changing effects. However, after viewing video of the object, Davenport later remarked: "I don’t believe it was a star. The object moved off. Stars don’t do that."
Several reader comments submitted to The Columbian, KGW and KATU websites claimed to have identified the object up close as an LED-equipped kite. Following news reports of the events, an individual giving his name only as "Mike" presented himself and his Chinese-manufactured kite as the source. The kite presented to The Columbian newspaper the week after the initial sightings stood 7 and-a-half feet tall with a 13 foot wingspan. Nearly 500 LED lights were hung from the triangle-shaped structure and were centrally-controlled to display different patterns including one depicting a flying saucer.
A kite equipped with LEDs was found to be the likely cause of similar UFO sightings in Saint Paul, Minnesota in 2010.
