Anacortes, WA
It was Tic-toc shaped, transparent / glowing white, traveling between + or -, 500 to 1000 mph. from north to south in direction. It was directly overhead when I first saw it, and moving very fast. It disappeared into clear blue sky after about 15 seconds. There were no clouds in the area. I pointed it out to my wife, who saw it and we both concurred on what we had just seen. My sister-in-law witnessed it also, but only as a blur before it vanished. It resembled the tic-toc videos as seen on tv, and it moved the same way, very quickly.

Renton, WA
We were on our back deck. clear skies. What looked like a group of 7 lights in a triangular shape appeared from the west heading east. It lingered for at least 5-6 mins. I tried to take a video but it was too dark and grainy. The lights got bright one at a time through the triangle....then, it just vanished. No clouds were present to shroud it. We saw something similar to this in 2020. It definitely did not look like starlink - which - all the videos I have viewed before filing this report - were all in a straight line....this was completely different. Would just like to know if, in fact, this was reported by anyone else in the area of Seattle or just southeast of Seattle where we are in Renton , WA. Thank you.

9:30 going to store, pulled up to stop sign and saw lights, at first thought it was star link but the lights where not moving . I backed up to my house and called for my wife to come look. It was clear every where except below the lights as the lights started to go out one at a time the cloud started to disipate, lights gone cloud gone that was crazy. My wife and 35 year old son saw the same thing, I was checking out a local new thing we have called Skagit breaking and other people saw this also. Don't know what it was but I do know it was not star link. Thank you

I am a bus driver for people with disabilities and I was dropping off a client and as I was leaving I saw a row of people with their phones out so I parked my bus around the corner from them and went to look at what everyone else was looking at. It was something I never saw before ... it was a large disk in the sky with good size equally separated lights moving in a circular motion. I took pictures and recorded the incident as fast as I could and in a seconds time it was gone. It didn't move in any direction, it just disappeared. I kept looking for the rest of the night and noticed one thing. Since the area is close to our main airport SEA-TAC there is usually a lot of planes coming and going in the area I saw this thing but not when I witnessed the craft and no planes went in the area after the craft was gone. It looked like the planes were going around the area. I thought that was very weird. There were some light clouds in the sky that night but after it disappeared the sky was clear and I thought that was weird also. I have video clips but it says the files are too large to send them.

Arlington, WA
I witnessed a blue light on the norther horizon. I would first like to confirm that this light was not Venus, which I have seen many evenings. This light was about twice that of a commercial airliner, and silently hovered in the air (much lower than an airliner would). As I looked at it in the sky, its light appeared to expand and contract (as if it were operating on a dimmer switch). After oscillating its light several times, it moved in a circular motion twice, dimmed its light, and then disappeared almost instantly.

Okay, I was in my car, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a light, I thought it was a shooting star because it disappeared, at the same time I was getting out of my car, and then all of a sudden it reappeared! There was only one, it was a blueish light, I couldn’t tell the shape (it was too far away to the west to actually see the shape) but the way it moved through the sky with incredible speed and the way it was able to then stop on a dime and then disappear again I knew that it HAD to be a UFO. I’ve always believed, and this is the third time I’ve witnessed but the first time I’ve said to myself “I wonder if I can report this?!” So here I am! What a sight to see! When I saw the light come back on/ when they turned the light on, it was like it was just floating in place for a solid 2-3 seconds, then they just “floored it” going SUPER high speed down the changed direction horizontally and then back up and then the lights went out again and it was either gone or they turned the lights off.

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 22 year old full-time college student and live in Washington state. I live nearby my local airport and I was used to the air traffic noise and seeing planes regularly outside my window. One day I was outside with my dog and I heard a ringing noise, I looked up noticed a group of spheres hovering in the eastern sky of my house. When I got my camera out to figure out what it was, I thought it was a bunch of flies buzzing but as I kept recording I realized they were flying in and out of the clouds. They moved like a hoop around a stick, spinning around something and were morphing as they darted through the clouds. I saw them open up, shoot out multiple spheres, resume their sphere form, and vanish into the clouds. This is only one instance of many I have witnessed. During the day I can only see them if I look for them or hear a ringing, and they are around my house nightly.

While camping in the Mt Baker/Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington State, my friend photographed with his new drone a red/crimson orb slowly moving west. He was flying at approx 300' when the object caught his attention and he snapped a number of pictures which I've attached. The pictures are about a 2 second exposure since it was getting dark.

Stopped at the new gas station in town, and wanted to take a picture of the sun against the smoked filled sky from the wildfires. I got my phone out to take a picture, and I noticed the sign that tells fuel prices was flashing back and forth; however when you were looking without a camera (i phone) it was not flashing. I decided to take a video, and it continued to flash. I was waiting for my husband to finish pumping gas, and out of the left corner of my eye a black blur went by. He came over to look at the video to confirm that the fuel prices were flashing, but we’re still when looking with your eyes. We came home and watched the video. It could not be any clearer that I captured the fast black object fly past me and disappear into the sky. The object can be seen in the first 2 seconds of the video darting across from the right of the screen to the left. We were able to identify this happening throughout the video and believe we spotted at least 4 different objects. The end of the video it can be seen swooping in front of me as a sphere and then can be zoomed in at the last frame on the top right. These were not drones. It seemed to change color from black to white when it crosses over the fuel sign. It appears to almost have a bat like movement. If you want the 1 minute video then I need to be contacted directly. It is beyond anything I have ever seen before.

I often use my iPhone to follow high altitude jets that reflect the sun a just the right angle. This video I witnessed for a brief moment a light appear behind the south bound jet. It moved erratically and very fast, then vanished. This was not a reflection nor lens flair. Just something I can not identify other the a UFO.

It started way out in the atmosphere, brighter than anything else I've ever seen. At first I thought it was a planet, but it was too large and bright. Then it started getting closer. It looked like red and blue striations were coming from the core. The core was a round center of white light, but seemed to rotate 360 like a spotlight looking around. Eventually it came so close that it didn't seem far from the tree line, and it also seemed to zoom/focus in to where we were standing or where it was 'looking'. It would disappear and reappear and was moving all around the sky. This lasted for at least an hour. This is going to sound the craziest, but at one point it shot 2 midnight blue triangles into the sky. There were 6 of us all witnessing the same thing. Truly astonishing. We caught a glimpse on video, bit it only captured the smallest ball of light, and didn't really capture what we were actually seeing.

Three of us were waiting for a school bus at the bus stop when we saw an orb that looked like a large soap bubble ascending out of the woods toward the sky accelerating faster and faster till in a blink of an eye it was gone. My mother had also seem something similar one night about 3 feet off the ground across the street apparently observing her. She screamed and called for me telling me what she saw. I remember hearing reports on the tv news at the time of many people seeing similar things. Including many neighbors in the area at the time.

Very short period of time but looking out over the bluff of Magnolia (suburb of seattle close to discovery park) I saw what I thought was a Satellite moved quickly in random patterns. Stopping and then Satellite moving again in random patterns. This was not a plane, looked more like a star. No shape, just a bright light that had random movement. Sometimes stationary.

My husband and I were sitting outside in our back yard looking at stars. I looked up from my phone and noticed over the tops of our trees a brighter star, but it was moving with another star, or light and staying at an equal distance apart and moving in unison across our back yard! I yelled, so my husband looked up and saw it too, he took a video with his phone, (it was too dark). Here are the points of what I saw; It was a black cigar shape approx 300ft long. It had one bright white light on the back end and a smaller white light at the front. The hudge body of the craft blocked out the stars as it moved & also blended into the night sky, so that details on the craft were not visible. It moved slowly over our trees and up into the middle of the sky until it disappeared into the heavens. There is a bog on our 10 acres and I have seen lights there and once a huge beem of light over or in it before. I have lived here for 24 years.

My young teen daughter was sitting in my vehicle when right in front of the car appeared a grey alien standing and staring at her. She was terrified and thought she was seeing things so she closed her eyes. She said upon closing them she could still see it and crazy shapes appeared behind it that made her dizzy. She then passed out and had the worst nightmare of her life she said. She can’t remember the nightmare. I still don’t know if she was taken and returned or not, but at times she is still seeing flashes of this beings face. She told me this one month after it happened, because she was embarrassed and still doesn’t believe it was real, though she is still having visions of them. She felt comfortable enough to tell me, because I had been talking a lot about what happened to me at THE SAME TIME on August 27. While she was in car that night, I was a few feet across from her in my tent. She didn’t want to sleep in a tent. Laying there I heard a loud roar that sounded humanoid but was ten times more powerful in volume but also was hitting high and low sounds in their roar that no animal on earth I’ve ever heard sounds like. Plus it sounded like a call out. Like an thought out sound that would come from a humanoid, a language if you will. My seven year old nephew heard this and was terrified. Because it sounded far away, I was not concerned at the time. My main concern was calming him down and he was shaking with fear and crying. What’s interesting is as loud and echoing as it was near the falls of lower Lewis, my brother and sister who were one tent from me didn’t hear it. They were awake and my sister was in the same tent as my nephew about 10 ft away. My brother was in a tent next to hers. We were all awake and fully sober.

I noticed what I thought might be an airplane in the distance with the sun reflecting off of it. As I observed more closely I noticed that it was moving unusually. The object came closer to my location so that I could see better and realized quickly that it was not an airplane but a sphere that became two and then three. It was hard to determine if the object was reflecting light or emitting light. The object was moving north to south and then back north again and was shifting from one object to two and three while spinning around one another. I then observed another object just to the north and at the same altitude as the first one. I witnessed both objects at the same time moving and changing shape. It looked as if there was stuff falling or being dropped from beneath the objects. One object appeared to descend somewhere to the southwest, as I lost sight of it behind the roof of my house. I watched the other object for close to an hour while it sat fixed in one location in the sky, but seemed to be getting higher in altitude. It looked as if it was disappearing and reappearing. I could only faintly see what could be described as the light reflecting from it or light it was emitting. It finally became too small for me to observe any more. I have video of what I saw but it does little justice to how I witnessed this with the naked eye. Sorry for the shakiness of the video. It was difficult to have a steady hand while zoomed in.

Lights were so bright it got me off the couch, 5 total. Starting around 9:30 pm looking north from kenmore. Green, red blinking lights with super bright white lights. All at various locations and elevations, moving and staying still. Currently at 11:30 pm one is still in the sky.

Looking east towards Gold mtn east, south east a bright perfectly circle shaped project appeared in the sky. Far far brighter than an other passing planes and would pulsate very bright to black. We saw this two times before audibly confirming with one another what we saw, it faded out a third time while appearing to veer off in another direction disappearing in a flash of light. We had been watching the meteor shower and whatever object we saw moved in an unnatural way, nothing like meteors we have seen previously.

White circles with orange circle centers (only distinguishable when viewing with binoculars), looked like small dandelion seed heads to the naked eye, traveling at uniform rate of speed across the sky over a period of 20 minutes. Three followed the same line two took different paths. Two were visible at the same time and three by themselves. When viewed with binoculars the white perimeter looked fuzzy.
