On Saturday July 25, my wife and I and our little bichon went down to what we call the "Zen garden" -- which we just completed with slate rock and gravel -- to create a little patio, it's little spot about a 150 ft² nestled in trees, bushes and shrubbery ... as we sat down in 2 adirondack chairs next to eachother, to enjoy the evening around 9:30 I was admiring the floor slate slabs that we had installed, when my wife grabbed my right forearm and asked " what is that ?" ... I looked up and instantly knew it was the same vehicle I had reported on July 10, a huge circular object with a very bright white lighted center making up about 90% of its belly and the edges a red Orange glowing, shimmering ring ... but this time I was able to see more because it was a lot darker outside and we were out in the garden looking up -- as opposed to the July 10 incident where we were on the upper deck, looking almost sideways at it --' this vehicle was the same vehicle, t traveled from the North East to the South West in the same flight path as the July 10 event ... it seemed to have a misty white "shroud" to its rear and above it, that was billowing behind -- it was made up of white misty light, it had the shape of a cape, or cloak, and followed the vehicle like a condensation trail.... below the vehicle i noticed it had a conical shaped red light beam thst was being directed to look back-and-forth, downwards, towards the Earth ... the red beam didn't have a "center" (like a flashlight would in its beam), but just a ring, in the shape of a cone that expanded as it reached further out from the ship ... the "outside" of this cone shaped beam was solid, bright red/burgundy color. It looked like it was a search light, looking at or for something. When it first appeared. It was about half way over the Puget Sound, between Maury Is. and the Dash Point Pier. When my wife first noticed it, it virtually appeared right over the Sound as if it "turned its lights on." It moved silently and smoothly in a straight line. Maintained altitude, it made Slight changes in acceleration, a little appearance of slight bobbing, but maintained its straight line course NE to SW. The vehicle was round, and defined by the light it was shining. It's possible the actual shape may differ because nothing is visible behind the light. The center was made up of and entire "belly" of white light, it was a surreal looking white color ( like LED light white, but without the bluish hue LED has). The outer ring was a shimmering red/orange, seemed to be flickering at the edges, and bright. The moon was in the sky to the SE of us, better part of half-moon to 3/4, brightly lit by the slow setting Sun in the NW we're accustomed to see in the summer. The light intensity of the UFO's center white light was almost competing with the brightness if the moon. As soon as we saw it, we stood up and looked in amazement as wellas a little fear that we're encountering this again. I instantly said "It's the same UFO we saw" because i recognized it. My wife was a bit fearful and was standing slightly behind me with her right hand on my left shoulder, as we visually followed its travel. I asked her 3 times, "Look at it, you tell me that's not a UFO" And she kept saying "it looks like a gigantic chinese lantern" and then "it looks like it has a flowing, misty looking shroud behind it" It flew right past us in what seemed to be slowing down, and then sudden acceleration, and slowing down again, until it went right over the horizon behind our neighbors house ... the whole incident lasted about 45 seconds ... it is hard to tell how high and therefore how big this object is but based on my July 10 incident report -- I know that when a 737 flew underneath this object, it was about 4 to 6 times larger than the 737 and it was higher than it --- so it gives an optical illusion of being lower, but it's actually a very large vehicle, very high ... we were a little freaked out so we went back into the house... and then I reviewed the security video camera, one of which points out the front door and in the direction of where the vehicle passed looking West ... and nothing showed on the camera because the angle was not high enough into the sky, its focused on the door and the driveway. While reviewing the security camera it showed us entering the house at 9:36, and the incident happened between 5 to 7 minutes before that, so the whole thing lasted between 9:30 and 9:36 PM.

WE HAD JUST SHUT THE LIGHTS OFF AND THE MASTER BEDROOM HAS GLASS SLIDERS THAT LOOK OVER THE PUGET SOUND ACROSS TO MAURY AND VASHON ISLANDS-- LOOKING NORTHEAST TO NORTHWEST (EXPANSIVE, UNOBSTRUCTED VIEWS). AS SOON AS THE LIGHTS WERE OFF I SAW TOWARDS THE NORTH WHAT SEEMED TO BE A "LOW FLYING SMALL AIRPLANE COMPLETELY ENGULFED IN FLAMES" (OPTICAL ILLUSION AS EXPLAINED BELOW). THE CONSTELLATION ORION WAS IN ITS BACKGROUND AND THE NIGHT SKY WAS CLEAR AND CLOUDLESS. IT WAS FLYING DUE SOUTHWEST FROM A POSITION NORTHEAST, WHEN I FIRST OBSERVED IT. I QUICKLY GRABBED MY SAMSUNG 10 PHONE AND FLIPPED TO VIDEO MODE AND STARTED FILMING AS I LOOKED OVER THE PHONE TO GET DIRECT VISUAL VIEWS AS WELL. THE OBJECT MADE NO SOUND, IT WAS MOVING AT A "RELAXED" SPEED, NO FAST MOVEMENTS OR CHANGES IN ALTITUDE. IT WAS WHITE HOT IN ITS CENTER (THAT MADE UP 90% OF ITS SIZE) AND HAD A NEON LIKE RED/ORANGE OUTER RING OR HALO. THERE WAS NO TAIL LIKE A SHOOTING STAR TRAILING CLOUD. THERE WAS ANOTHER SIMILAR LIGHT TO THE LEFT THAT DID NOT MOVE BUT ABRUPTLY "TURNRD OFF" AND WAS NOT VISIBLE SO I TRAINED MY CAMERA ON THE UFO THAT WAS APPROACHING THE SHORE. THE OBJECT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS THE SIZE OF A "SMALL PLANE ON FIRE", UNTIL A COMMERCIAL JET LINER PASSED BELOW IT AND I REALIZED THE UFO WAS HIGHER THAN THE JET, AND ABOUT 4 TIMES LARGER. THE JET WHICH SOUNDED AND APPEARED TO BE A 737 (I'VE BEEN WORKING LINE AND HANGAR OPERATIONS ON 737'S FOR 25 YEARS, SINCE 1995) SO THE SIZE AND SOUND WAS VERY FAMILIAR. THE JET WAS ALSO ALONG THE USUAL ATC/TRACON ROUTE AND MANY 737'S OPERATE IN THE AREA. AS SOON AS THE JET FLEW BY, THE UFO CONTINUED BRIEFLY IN ITS SOUTHERLY DIRECTION THEN STOPPED AND STARTED TO ASCEND AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY REDUCING THE LIGHT SIGNATURE (WHITE CORE, RED ORANGE HALO )IN WHAT SEEMED LIKE A "VISUAL SPUTTER" (FLAMES DYING DOWN IN SPURTS) AND QUICKLY BECAME INVISIBLE, JUST SHORTLY OVER LAND AROUND THE DASH POINT PIER. AS A NOTE, METEOR NEOWISE WAS NOT DUE TO BE VISIBLE UNTIL 4AM JULY 11, ABOUT 6 HRS INTO THE NEXT MORNING, AND IT WAS A SHOOTING STAR MOVING FAST IN SPACE, WITH A WHITE LIGHT IMAGE AND A DISTINCT TAIL, AND ABOUT 5 DEGREES ABOVE THE HORIZON -- UNLIKE THE UFO THAT WAS ROUND, TAIL-LESS, RED ORANGED HALO, LARGE OBJECT, MOVING OVERHEAD, SLOWLY FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. VIDEO AVAILABLE.
