Diamond over Spokane, WA
A witness account on file, unevaluated. Most of the archive rests here, and honestly so.
The report, as filed
The first sightings were these very bright lights in the distance that would just hover and then bounce around really fast. We got some pictures of those. The bigger craft was a diamond shape and flew right over our heads. What we thought was weird, other than the shape, was the fact that it made hardly any noise and moved very slowly. It was as big as you'd expect a plane to be, but that's about the only comparison we could make. There was a lot of heat where we were standing outside, it was almost in a circular shape and if you walked a few feet away from the heat you'd feel the chill of the night air again. The really difficult thing to explain was my experience. One moment, I'm facing east, holding my moms hand to pull her over off of the side road and closer to my car and within a split second, I'm facing west, shoulder to shoulder with my mom as she's pointing northwest at something she saw in the distance. I was really confused, I had no idea what was going on. How did I get there? All I remembered seeing was this big Grey rectangle in the hay field in front of me, maybe 8 feet away, (I was facing west at that point). I kept asking my mom and my niece what happened and they just kept talking about some light they saw that had disappeared but they seemed to not notice anything off with me. Not long after, there was a group of coyotes howling maybe 100 yards northwest of us, ( which in turn got a few local dogs going nuts in the distance as well) and within a matter of minutes, they had stopped and there was an identical group howling exactly the same across Bigelow about 50 yards southwest of us. At some point, there was ruffling in the hay field just behind us (west) and we got freaked out and left. That was over a year ago, and I've been having crazy experiences ever since. I am hoping to get my story out there and connect with people who have similar stories. Hopefully, someone out there knows what to do about Unwanted Contact, as I would like to not have these experiences anymore. I have a lot of stories about all of the strange things that have happened since that day, and how different my entire life is, although I'm not sure this is the place to talk about it. I'm only allowed to upload 5 pictures here, but I also have a few of what I can only describe as crop circles that appeared in my front yard around the same time. Please reach out if you know how to prevent things like this. I'm also uploading a picture we got from a star gazing trip we did in Fairfield, WA during the blue moon of 2021. My mom was trying to get a picture of the sky, as the moon was so bright you almost cant even tell its night time. I looked but couldn't find anything that looks like the blue symbol in the picture. I'd love it if someone could shed some light on that too. Really, any assistance at this point is appreciated. please email me if you have any advice or know what that symbol is: samantha.marie85@yahoo.com

@ approx: 19:44hrs as I were doing not a thing specific to anything, just sitting and ping! up overhead high altitude (above 20,000ft say) from the N -dir- did fly a single dimmer, (in comparison to prior reports) by observation, spark! it flew in a mostly S.E. -dir- veered to starboard (RT) -noticable- and continued on. It started to 'dissolve' IMO which has presented prior to indicate that the craft is preparing to blip! out of sight. This particular craft did not. It flew on a bit further then as they typically do in their subtle nuanced way, demonstrated an intense glow! all at once, very very quickly!! followed by a dimmer yet as subtle glow! muted in appearance fast fade away! and then blip! gone... Followed up by at approx: 19:50hrs did fly a second single dimmer spark! from the W to overhead from my seated, static position on Terra Firma facing in a usual S.E. -dir-. It flew on its trajectory JRA (Just Rolling Along) in the early dark nighttime sky until out of my observable view. I did not get up off the deck and give visual pursuit... -fin- * in closing this report I did wish to add a particular 'thing' I've noticed prior during the time these more recent events reported on here that was absent last nite during this event. And that was a peculiar triangle pattern of stars, up high, not atmospherically high and typically directly above from my static position on Terra Firma, that seemed looming somewhat. Not menacing. Just THERE. Presence... *in an attempt to sway away from speculation here, there when reporting. FYI

Sitting at one spot familiar to myself (again) & it's going on 03:00AM and looking to the S.W. at I believe Venus? *checked with Earth Sky.com it was Venus, and to the right of the brightly glowing Venus his morning and a solid black shape, like a US state shaped (Utah, NM?) appears all of a sudden now!, entirely noticeable and really really black. Like if you know what a shadow entity is then I'd equate it to that as a solid, initial reference and blips out. Almost immediately following to the left of Venus/star a super faint flash, spark! of a thing. - and done-

At approx 19:44hrs I had stepped outside the storage facility I have storage at for some fresh air and not doing anything specific and flash! stutter...stutter...stutter...flash! fade to black, yet there's like this dark very dark blue-ish/brown coloured cloud barely barely visible IMO that its hiding and dancing around in, the flash deformed or morphed? into a spark! now & I can barely see the spark! now, flash! (like seeing fluffy broken cloud cover and this object is 'presenting' itself as, for whatever reason) is done and that spark! is now fading, fading fading as it 'flits!' here, 'flits!' there. Like a peek-a-boo! game, from up high. *Points upwards. Not too high an altitude, not typical high altitude trucking along craft(s) or objects IMO. Maybe 10,000 to 15,000ft. in altitude. Until not viewable from my line of sight looking to the S-SW at the storage facility... outta nowhere blamo! that odd cloud like formation (mostly coloured dark brown, dark blue against mostly black/dark sky) dwindled and faded away as well. Something was either up there and BIG maybe supporting those craft/spark! objects? In closing, for whatever its worth. The immediate (1st) and only impressions I took in on the cloudlike formation *see artistic representation here . The 'light' or craft direction of travel depicted in drawing would go clockwise. Meaning. At top of drawing follow 'light' object clockwise until it is barely visible on far, upper left of artistic representation... make sense?

Sitting, settling in for the evening at familiar spot (homeless status) and again, for whatever reason I whip my gaze upwards, high to observe a single 'spark!' coming from the N dir. on a trajectory heading mostly S-S.E. -dir- just rolling along up very high in the nitetime sky and as it continues on its path it disintegrates (crumbles apart) before my eyes. Craft #2 showed up approx 2-3mins later coming from the N -dir- again a single bright spark, high altitude trucking along and it veers to starboard (RT)) and does start to dissolve and then -blips!- itself into blackness. *I have witnessed this same maneuver prior and it is astonishing each time. Craft #3 showed up approx 2-3mins later coming from the N -dir- again a single bright spark! on the same trajectory to the S - S.E. and again vanished after a time flying above. *there IS a bit of confusion, on my part here as I had no battery on my mobile, in the field, yadayada -excuses- and the objects kept appearing and moving and and and... meaning? All 4 craft of this design (single bright spark!) disappeared in a different mode all four times on 10-18-2023 and I might not have #2 & #3 modus operandi exactly correct, RMK **in between craft #3 and now #4 flying above did appear and come from out of nowhere from the W/N.W. (my RT) to the E (my left) a white ish, silver w/red center and hints of red accents a streak! or a stretched out -flash!- lower in altitude and appearing just above eye level and gone. Craft #4 appeared, approx 2-3mins following as well as #3 was on its trajectory and the flash/streak was decaying, all in a very very rapid succession IMO. This single, bright spark! continued on very nearly the same trajectory as the 3 other sparks!, craft prior did yet, this craft did not budge, did not wiggle nor shimmer or did not present as preparing to blip! out or go cloaked, or portal or or or. It merely kept on E - S.E. until I could not see any sign of a spark up very high, traveling a great distance, to somewhere. **To close. Then maybe 5-10mins later as I sat in the dark rapidly assessing what just unfolded before moi did one single, softer, whiteish -a familiar- flash! of a spot of light did bloom and decay in front of my eyes. This would now be the 5th such kind of -flash!- event that I am privy to within the past 12mos or so. - fin

Another chilly nite last nite and at approx 22:00hrs looking to the SE bogey! and softer bright! single spark. In a typical darker yellow colour and at a high altitude. Say above 15,000ft. Waited for usual FAA indicator lights...nada. Not even an obvious 'light' source. Strobe or no. Heading mostly E and after getting zero indication of it being commercial or known military it had my rapt attention. Typical sighting for being in LA IMO. The UAP I mean. This kind of craft is so that common place in the skies above Los Angeles that I wasn't even going to report it here. However, that's LA this is not. I watched up until it did something that again, I've observed many times prior & I'm happy to have seen again. This particular kind of object or craft has demonstrated a peculiarity right before it vanishes, a trait now seen in two different states. It performs this 'flit flit...errrrrrr, flit!' action/activity immediately before it vanishes right before your eyes. If you didn't know to look for it. IMO? You'd not ever see it... -end

Bogey! At approx 04:23hrs looking up at the cloudy early morning sky from behind Starbucks spot prior, mostly S - SW at a really bright appearing star or planet or other?¿ at a very very high altitude *checked with saved Earth Sky emails and not a thing jived for bright objects in the early morning sky in that direction, no known planets or stars mentioned. Will attempt of course to decipher at a later point in time. And huh, as I sat there and the broken, rolling cloud cover doing its thing and just below the bright object in the early morning sky, at a very very high altitude there all of a sudden! appeared a faint 'flit! flit! flit!' of a spark practically asking, "do you see moi?" and then of course cloud cover made it go bye bye. Wow! Ok...then from somewhere up high to my left dir. was in a mostly E heading a very familiar, distinct -flash!- not too far behind me to my left, and it was bright! Now! I whip my head around to the left not really knowing just what to expect next. Some more familiar flashes in a row? No. This early morning it was one softer, fuzzy almost and really bright -flash!- and finished.
