I was sitting out in my backyard while my house cooled off so I could go to bed. I was in a lounge chair facing the east watching the planes come in from the east going to Seatac airport. Suddenly I noticed a green egg shaped object appear out of nowhere. It was directly in front of me traveling north towards Everett Wa. It was almost flourescent. I'd guess it was traveling about twice as fast as a typical plane would travel. It made no sound. I believe the object just manifested because I didn't see it off to my left as it entered from the south. I think I would have seen it. A possible debunk is maybe I was focused higher in the sky where the planes were because this object was flying below their flight path. Tough to estimate size. Easily noticeable though. No blinking lights of any kind. It was just an a kind of illuminated green.

My roommate and I were sitting on the porch and saw two objects flying high in the western sky. We noticed them because they were flying in perfect formation and at high altitude which is odd for aircraft. We both watched with amazement, and after 5 seconds I started to doubt they were anything out of the ordinary until they both turned simultaneously toward outer-space and vanished. I am still stunned at what I saw since we watch the planes and flight patterns on a nightly basis. Just after all of this happened, I went to my room and a very loud (perhaps military) helicopter flew over my house and toward the UFO location, which was unusual as well.

Approximately 1300-1315, witnessed 2 very bright white lights in the east sky, as I watched the two lights, extremely bright visible objects, moved at different speeds and slightly changed altitude, to the south briefly and then disappeared. Weather was clear, with a few clouds. I moved to get a better view of the objects, but could not find them. They were no longer visible.
