1st I noticed a strange sound. Almost light a hum that seemed to come from the ground. I live near an airstrip so I am familiar with plane and chopper sounds. This was neither. You can also tell when its coming from above. I did not see the craft until it was above me. It was just above the trees and it had 2 large white lights, somewhat close together on the underside. One blinking and 1 steady. They were the only ones. I tried to see the shape but even though it was a clear night, it was hard to tell. When the light blinked it looked fuzzy, like the reflection from a cloud. Kinda pearly color. From the flashing I would estimate 25-30 ft across but couldn't see the edges to be sure. The other thing that was so odd was that it was moving slow... too slow for a plane. My dog looked at it as well. I watched it as it kept moving towards the olympic mountains, trying to come up with a logical explanation . I was never afraid but can't sleep and get it out of my mind. My parents and I saw 3 ufos about 55 yrs ago as well. Investigator can contact me if they want but not necessary.

I was on the beach about six months ago at around 1030 at night time. I was with a friend and we were having a fire on the beach at Jamestown beach about a mile from the entrance of the beach. It was a very clear night and we had lit a fire on a part of the beach to where it would be hard to see if you were at the entrance and look to your right down the beach. You are not allowed to have fires on the speech but I have been doing it for many years and never had any problems with people bothering me as long as it was late at night. I had walked away from our fire about a football field in length so I could get service on my cell phone to call some other friends to give them directions on how to get there. When I was walking down the beach I noticed up in the sky I thought I was looking at a satellite. Just a very bright small light moving fast as high as the stars, I have seen satellites before at night time and that’s exactly what it looked like at first, within seconds it appeared to not look like a satellite anymore and came closer and started to possibly be a plane but it was just a bright light nothing blinking. Within a few more seconds it was almost at ground level and sort of like combing the beach at that time I thought it might be Coast Guard coming to look at why there was a fire on the beach, within a few more seconds all of a sudden there was a spotlight fastly coming down the beach directly over me and sort of hovered over me for a second with an extremely bright light, at this point it was about a telephone pole in height above me with absolutely zero sound, I was kind of frozen at that point like if you were to see a ghost or something like that. I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening. Then all of a sudden the spotlight turned off and the bright light kept going and then within seconds it was backed up into the sky as small as a satellite. This whole siding probably was around 20 to 30 seconds long from beginning to end. There is absolutely no possible way that an aircraft could go from that altitude to almost ground level within seconds, way too large to be a drone. A drone could not admit a light that big and bright. Please call me at (deleted) my name is (deleted) I am 32 years old.

I am a college graduate. Speak 3 languages. Raised 4 daughters overseas. My husband has his Masters degree, and is knowledgeable in identifying aircraft. I was up early and noticed a bright light in the sky, heading south over the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards us. I assumed it was a large jet heading towards Seattle, but there were no blinking lights. I asked my husband what he thought it was and because it was low he thought maybe a military helicopter. We continued to watch it slowly turn and then hover about 100 feet over our neighbor’s house. There was no sound, no blinking lights and was shaped like a cigar. It must have turned because then we saw on one side only, a string of green lights. And then it began to head north and disappeared like lightening.

Recently in Sequim, Washington State, I saw the most amazing thing ever and feel compelled to share this with all interested. I now know the truth on this particular subject. Sunday night 5/17/2021, at 22:40 I decided to hit the sack earlier than normal. Partly because my 150lb Lab/Rot mix was pestering me, as he was ready to zonk out. I left my Man-Cave and headed for the house. As I reached my back door, I noticed something shimmering in the night sky. It was a clear night, only a sudden weather change brought in some low clouds. From here on I will relate my first impressions. This shimmering object was quite a distance from me, to my left and at about a 65-degree angle up towards the NW. It was in the atmosphere and may have been over The Strait of Juan de Fuca? It looked long and lay horizontal in the sky. At first, I thought it might be lights reflecting off an odd shaped cloud. That's until I realized it was moving to the East. Heck, that was no cloud! The shimmering seemed hypnotic and perhaps caused by the atmosphere? This object was going to pass right through my Northern view. I estimate it was moving just a bit slower than a commercial Jetliner when they pass over. At that point I knew this was something unusual. So, I ran for my vehicle to retrieve a pair of binoculars and by the time I fished them out, the object was straight across from me. I was facing North and when I peered through the optics at this object, my world changed! I could not believe what I was clearly seeing, yet knew exactly what I was seeing... a craft, a real UFO! Only this thing was HUGE! I'll get right to the point... it looked like the Freaking Empire State building floating in the sky on its side, only bigger and perhaps more like the World Trade Center!!! This clearly was a craft with 70 to 100+ windows patterened on its side. Just like a skyscraper at night with about 30% of the windows dark/off. The windows on were lit from within and surely what caused the shimmering. These were not navigation l! ights. Nor were they flashing. The structure of this craft was clear. It was like watching a Science Fiction Movie, when the big Mother Ship arrives to earth! Only this thing was real and no way ours! I was observing a side view, which seemed about 4 stories tall. I did not see a top or bottom view or different angle of the craft. Again, just picture the side view of a flying modern skyscraper. Through my binoculars I saw structure. No doubt in my mind this was a craft. Stunned I watched as it moved to my right. A much closer to me cloud bank would soon obstruct my view. When about one third of its front end was hidden by the clouds, it suddenly stopped. Then its trailing end started rotating to the horizontal upward position and stopped at about 65 degrees. At that point it descended. I watched until fully hidden by clouds. This craft was so big that I kind of expected to hear a crash! None came and this entire event was silent. If this craft was over water, it may have plunged in? I know what I clearly saw- a huge UFO, now etched into my mind forever! Certainly, someone else may have seen it and hope they come forward. Hey US Military... there is NO Way you don't know about this object on this night! Tell us the truth! For me seeing is believing and I can now say for certain, UFOs, crafts not of this world are REAL! I've shared this sighting with others who know me. Yet few seemed surprised/excited, even care. Oh well. Seeing this craft filled me with a sense off... Now I Know!

I came out of my Man-Cave and happened to peer up at a clear star-lit night and noticed an interesting 2 tone light. So I watched and saw it was moving towards me in an erratic manner. It would stop and hover bobbing around, almost as if out of control. Then it would go straight up, stop, wobble and start to move again. At times it would drop straight down in altitude, then back up. The only time it looked steady was when on the move. While hovering it was all over the place. I grabbed a pair of 8X binoculars and got a pretty clear view of this amazing object. Although a dark sky it looked like a diamond shape, longer horizontally than vertically. What stood out the most were 2 large circles of light. These circles seemed to be on the side facing me and took up 3/4 of the UFO side. The circles were perfectly round. The left circle was a deep red and the right circle a dark sky blue. The lights/colors were not glaring, but rather flat with depth. The lights did not flash, nor did they change. Through the binoculars the beauty of these lights memorized me. So perfect, so smooth/ depth dimensional. I called out a friend and she confirmed what I saw. Eventually this UFO started moving away and North towards the Straight of Juan De Fuca a few miles away. As it left, again it would stop/hover in an unstable manner. It again dropped straight down, then moved off eventually falling out of site below a near tree line. There is a small airport nearby and I see private planes and helicopters. The object I saw was no plane and flew far more erratically than a chopper. Although it was originally about 1.5 times as high as other small craft flying by. As I watched, it did drop to private plane altitude. I would say it travelled in a semi circle arc covering 2-3 miles. It was totally silent and I can hear the engines of private aircraft easily at similar distances. If I had to estimate, this UFO was bigger than the local Coast Guard helicopter. At least twice as big and bigger than a school bus. More like 2 or 3 city busses stacked. The light circles were disproportionally large. There were no other lights and I could see the dark diamond shape. The 2 large lights were always visible, so I got the impression this UFO never turned/rotated on axis from me. I know what aircrafts are and can say with certainty, what I saw was like no other aircraft I've ever seen. I will never get thos! e 2 huge lights out of my mind. Was this a drone? If it was it was far larger than any US military drones I've seen on TV. Besides the 2 lights I found it's erratic instability at rest while hovering very unusual for a craft in the sky. My reason for reporting this is in hopes someone else near me saw the same UFO. Plus what I saw impressed me enough to report.
