The appearance of a very bright circular dot flying high in the Northern part of the sky occurred around 22:00 hours on the 24th of June 2017. My partner and I witnessed it together as a glowing circle of pure white light moving rapidly in a straight line from North to South. Its movement was very swift and steady with no sound at all. There were no blinking lights or colors as with aircraft, just a very swift and steady movement that lasted for about 30 seconds before disappearing beyond our line of sight. About 15 minutes later we observed normal aircraft with blinking lights and the sound of motors humming within the same area but not traveling at a ¼ of the speed that the previously-sighted craft had exhibited.

I routinely step out at night and scan my sky with binoculars. I live in an active aviation corridor between the coast and Orlando Int Airport, so there is always something flying overhead and I also enjoy spotting stars and planets. Tonite, I stepped out just in time to observe an unusual light travelling south to north. It is quite muggy here, but I had very good viewing conditions, and the sky was relatively dark, as a storm front moving in from the west was blocking light pollution from the Orlando direction. This anomalous light seemed to be at a high altitude , appearing like commercial passenger jet traffic. What really got my attention as unusual was the fluctuations of this light. It was a single source of soft, off white nondescript light. It was a single light source not resembling navigation lighting, and it appeared to be glowing. Its size, though, was about what you might expect had it been an airplane at 30,000 ft. Its intensity varied irregularly and greatly as it travelled rather quickly across the sky. I have seen satellites pass over before, usually as a steady faint light, and twice in a regular sort of flashing, indicating rotation or tumble. That's what I figured I had here at first. But this thing flared , ebbed, waivered and flared in such an irregular pattern,and with irregular intensities. Without ever going completely dark. It was almost spooky. I immediately ran for my tablet and checked the app "Heavens Above" however, it did not indicate the passi! ng of any satellite in this path and heading or even time slot. The steady speed and straight flight would seem to indicate satellite, but I have NEVER seen such a strange light display. It leaves me excited and confounded! I'm not so sure this was any satellite. I don't know WHAT I saw.

We saw irregular flashing lights that occurred in a circular pattern. At first it seemed like it could be a sort of plane but the lights didn't move as a jet would. They moved slightly up then slightly down, hovered for a few minutes, dropped lower in the sky and proceeded very slowly to the right. The lights seemed to come from a fairly large craft but it was hard to tell due to distance. The lights disappeared for a while, but then reappeared a few minutes later in another spot. We did not know if this was the same craft that somehow got to an entirely different place in the sky without us seeing or another craft entirely. This one was closer and the lights were brighter. It followed the same hover pattern for a few minutes and this too drifted out of our line of sight. As we stood there this same thing happened two more times--flashing lights in different parts of the sky (I would describe them as having a strobe like effect). The craft would hover and go slightly up, down and sideways for a few minutes before drifting off. There was no noise and the only color we saw was whitish yellow light. It wasn't shining a light as a helicopter might do if it was performing a search but more or less just twinkeled. I do not know how it was able to appear in different parts of the sky without us seeing it get there. All of the sightings ended when the lights drifted behind a structure or the trees.

Walking my dog as usual at this time. I happened to look up and there it was. It was hovering, being still in one place. All of a sudden, it quickly took off, straight up and disappeared. The object was quite far up and how long it was there, I don't know. It was silver-white with two dark narrow lines on each side of the rectangle. I had watched it for about five seconds, before it went up. Very strange. I could not find anyone else who had seen this, but found your website. Thank you! The time was about 9 pm, June 24, central time. It made no sound or emitted any lights. I ruled out drones and planes. Direction was north-east of my house.

I was driving North on Hillstown Rd. and further North my girlfriend and I saw an oval shape shiny object not moving anywhere. The first thing that we thought was that the object was an airship fighting around but after a minute it suddenly disappeared.

Fairfield, WA
My husband and I were driving from Tekoa, Washington, to Spokane, Washington, around noon last Saturday. We were nearing the southern side of Fairfield, Washington. My husband pointed to the north and about half jokingly said, "Look. A UFO." I looked and replied, "Oh, that's a plane." As we got closer to Fairfield, we continued to watch the object, and the more we watched, the more we became convinced that what we were looking at was something out of the ordinary. I would call myself a UFO enthusiast, though this was my first sighting. My husband is a confirmed skeptic, but even HE couldn't say what the object was. It was cigar shaped and white or silver. It moved at a pretty good rate of speed from the North to the West. We lost sight of it for maybe 30 seconds as we entered Fairfield. When we saw it again, it was sitting stationary in the western sky. I found this odd. I said to my husband, "If it hadn't been going so fast, I would say it's a blimp." It was also way too high up to be a blimp. When we got further into Fairfield, we lost sight of it again, and as we exited the Fairfield city limits, we could no longer see it. It was simply gone. Anyone who has been through Fairfield, knows it is very small and doesn't take long to get through going north on the highway. It might take a minute so it didn't make sense to me that the object was just gone. It was a clear day and should have still been visible. I didn't take pictures or video because my husband's windshield was quite dirty and I was afraid the object would be hard to see. Thanks for your time.

I went outside last night at 3am as it was humid and i couldn't sleep. I sat on the front steps to admire the stars and enjoy the cooler air. As I've seen several UFOs over my house, some recently and reported herein, I thought maybe I'd see another one. Sure enough, a bright light, about the size of Venus at its brightest, caught my eye to the southeast. It was very slowly traveling to the northeast, slower than a regular airplane. Altitude I would guess to be about 10 to 15 thousand feet. As I closely observed the light and its movement, it suddenly dimmed, and went out. I had the distinct feeling that it knew it was being watched and didn't want that. For several more minutes, I kept my eye on that quadrant of the sky but did not see it reappear. No sound from it, or any flashing lights. It was just a bright, bluish white round light. I believe that if someone wants to spend the time looking at night, eventually you will see them. Some can be dramatic, unlike this one.

4 slowly revolving lights just above the clouds, they could be seen in the clouds. The lights stayed in that area for at least 5 minutes. I went into my house to have others come out to see, and when I went back the lights were gone. Possible advertising lights?? PD

I saw a large disk hover silently about 200 feet or so above the ground with light blue lights on the underside. It was much larger than a plane and a perfect circle shape. It was a very clear night. I have never seen a UFO before and it was very interesting. I felt frozen. However, as soon as I saw it and when I could no longer see it I could move again. There was a dark haze around the disk. My dogs didn't seem to notice anything. I checked the clock after regaining movement ability and found that the time was an hour ahead, as the time when I went outside was 11:30 pm and the time after the sighting was 12:30 am.

There were 7 lights that were solid white all spaced out through the span of roughly 40 min. Some seemed be flying straight but after focusing you could see them almost wiggling or wobbling as they went. And four of them there trajectory took them straight out of the atmosphere.

Stepped out to smoke and check out the stars and noticed one star about the size of Jupiter, but orange in color when i was showing my girlfriend it started moving then picking up speed. Tyen changed directions moved all the way across silverbow county then a red light lit up on the same craft. Then it turned around and flew toward the lady of the rockies and hovered just south of her..thats when i spotted another one south from it about 3 miles on top of the ridge for about 20 min.. made no sound flying over..

At 11:45pm above Interbay/Magnolia in Seattle I witnessed a star above where there shouldn't be. It started out dim and them got brighter, meanwhile another one appeared next to it and began to get bright as well. They both became super bright and then the first one started to dim as well as the second one until gone. They did not move at all. No sound. Did anyone else see it?

I stepped outside on my back porch to check how much water was in my pool that I was filling, and I looked above and saw what at first I thought was the Milky Way, like a concentrated grouping of stars, until I realized the objects were moving slowly across the night sky. There were approximately 200-300 lights in a clustering. The closest comparison I could think of would be similar to a school of fish or tadpoles. The objects were paler than stars (like almost a blue, but not quite), and the light they gave off seemed less concentrated than the stars in the sky around. The group moved like a school of fish slowly towards the horizon, with a few straggling behind the group. The group did not move in a straight line like a meteor shower, but rather as if something floating along. I called my father out to see, and he came and witnessed the event with me, and then shortly after, my brother came out and saw the last stragglers move across the sky. It took appro! ximately 8 minutes for the group to move from immediately overhead to then be completely out of sight. I have never seen anything like it in my entire life, nor my father in his. To lend you some information on my background, I studied Writing and Law at University of Washington for my Undergraduate degree, and now I am a law student at Seattle University School of Law. I consider myself rational, pragmatic, and someone who rarely jumps to conclusions. I am both well educated and of above average intelligence, and generally, do not believe something without seeing it myself.

Went outside on a clear night to see a bunch of moving white lights that were blinking red. Was going to pass it off as a bunch of jets, or something, before they vanished while we were looking at them, my husband got a picture of some of them, in the picture two were in the middle of zigzaging and you can clearly see the red zigzag. Also got video of them. My father in law said one came close to an airplane then zagged around it, two other people saw this one.

Longview, WA
It started a few days ago. I was watering my plants on the front porch, when I saw this bright object in the sky. At first I thought it was a meteor, and I told my father's girlfriend to come look. She saw it as well, my father merely glanced at it from the backyard and said it was a "plane or something." It was flying near Baker's Corner store in Longview, WA. I knew it wasn't a plane crashing down or a meteor because it had no smoke billowing from it. I recorded the part where it shaped into a ball from its fireball shape. It was a very bright silver metallic that reflected in the sunset. However, the recording is saved onto my snapchat so I am unable to post here... Yesterday, my friends and I went to Willow Grove Beach in Longview. We stopped at Baker's Corner like we normally do to get tea and such for the hot day ahead of us (we have had record heat already). When we got to the grove, however, this man came up to us in a van and told us that the park was closing in ten minutes. I wanted to tell him, "Oh, okay, thank you," but all that came out was, "Oh" and I turned around and walked to the beach. I don't know what came over me, but I was very afraid of him, as were my friends. We swam for a while with some friends, and once our friends were with us they stopped patrolling. During our time in the water we noticed that there was a party taking place further down the beach and the security had not stopped to inform them of the curfew. We stayed for maybe 30 min until another van came down the trail with its light flashing. They were headed for us, so we rushed out of the water to my friend's truck. They followed slowl! y down the trail. They were both wearing sunglasses and they were pale, I didn't look at them long. We left and went to eat at a restaurant in the sister town, but after dinner, I realized I had forgotten my purse. It wasn't in the restaurant, so we had to drive all the way back to willow. My chest hurt as we got closer to our destination, it was almost hard to breathe. My friends seemed nervous as well. It might have been because of the creepy security men before, but it felt much heavier than that. As we started down the 2 mile stretch of road to the beach, the truck began acting strange. The lights flickered and turned off then on and the brights turned on etc., and at first I thought it was my friend messing with the lights until she said, "Did you guys see that?" I looked up from my phone which was glitching out and focused on the lights on the road. They turned off for a moment, the radio was disrupted, and it was eerily quiet. Then the internal lights turned on brighter than I had seen them and the windshield wipers started ging at full speed, the gages twitched and flickered and then everything went dark. We could see under the moon and decided to turn around in a farmers driveway right before the boat launch. The lights came back and we took off. We all felt sick and sufficiently spooked, and as we turned left back towards the highway, a huge white owl swooped down behind the truck and into the tall grass on the other side of the road. We got back to our friends after midnight, which was strange because the grove isn't very far from where she lived. What do you all think? Is there a correlation between the strange curfew and the strange security van men? The owl? The ufo?

My wife and I had just returned from dinner to our room at the Laguna Cliffs Marriott Resort & Spa, and walked out on the balcony, facing the ocean. Looking south towards San Clemente, we saw a bright orange/, red roundish ball of shimmering light coming up the coast, coming directly towards us, but slightly moving left to right and very slowly at the same time. The elevation was around 2,000 feet and we guessed the size of it was about the same as a large helicopter although it was clearly not a helicopter. It made no noise as it approached us and just as it was almost overhead, it started going nearly straight up and over the ocean with increasing speed until it got smaller and smaller. At this point we could no longer see it. I am an avid aviation enthusiast and have been to countless airshows, military and private, and have never seen anything like this.
