Richland, WA
I was closing the gate to my driveway when I felt like something was watching me. Then I looked around and saw something move from the corner of my eye and up in the sky I saw a lot of stars clustered in one area. Then there was a beam of light behind it with even brighter lights on top of it. It looked like a cigar, and started flying west. As it became more visible, the white lights behind it got brighter and it was moving a lot faster. Then it compressed into one bright ball of light and moved very quickly at about 250 degrees west by the time my camera captured a picture it looks like another star in the sky. Then I saw it reappear back at 280 degrees west in the blink of an eye, and it was in the cigar shape again with the bright white light behind it. Then it flew directly up and a bright yellow/red flash appeared before it left and it was gone.

While watching movie at drive in (sitting outdoors in truck bed) we thought we saw a comet in a north direction, but it was moving upwards. As it moved upwards 25-30 small, bright white lights spaced themselves out with an equal, short distance between them. We listened for sound but only heard a plane moving away from the lights. Lights glided low, directly overhead, slowly (about 5 mph) and silently. Leading craft (in front of the lights) was an indistinguishable shape, even at that close proximity. We watched the lights disappear 30mi to the south with no turning, no cloud cover, just gone. There was no drone hum sound or any sound of any kind. It may have been one object with several lights, which would’ve been a very long cigar shape if so; or several small ones in formation. We could see nothing around or between lights except for the head/lead craft that seemed to change shape. There were some dogs at the drive in which were all barking while the lights flew overhead. My phone camera/video wouldn’t show the lights even when directly overhead, but my sister in law got one blurry photo while they were directly behind her vehicle (attached). Starlink satellites

This happened during an hour long lightning storm. I talked to camper at next campsite in the morning and he said he also saw a UFO during the lightning storm. It was a very cloudy night with light drizzle of rain. This is the only UFO I have ever seen.

Walking with my husband and dog on Mounts Road in the afternoon. I noticed 2 extremely bright orbs hovering above the freeway. They were small, appearing to be right over the freeway. I told my husband where to look to see them. Repeatedly. He couldn’t see anything, which was frustrating to me. I’m sure they weren’t making any noise. Suddenly they quit hovering and moved very rapidly up high. Then the just disappeared up into the sky. Note: This is within blocks of JBLM

Duvall, WA
I was looking at the night sky on August 11th 2022, unsure of the exact time but around 10:15 or 10:30 pm, and I saw a flash of white light in my peripheral vision to the East. The light was no different than something like an airplane or a bright star, but it came out of nowhere. I looked over at it just as it faded to a tiny red light. It looked like a satellite moving slowly and steadily across the sky in a northerly direction. It was just speck of light that looked like a small star, but moving. There was no sound. I kept watching to see if it would flash again (it didn’t). Then it did a U-turn. It made a narrow looping arc until it was going in the exact opposite direction. Then it moved unnaturally fast! It was basically a streak, and then it completely disappeared--not going out of view, but disappearing before my eyes. I've never seen anything in the sky move that way before.

Covington, WA
When I saw it, it looked like a trailer of a semi truck with its lights on, but really long. Like it took up the entire field it was in. And there is a highway close by, but there is no way you could see the highway from they angle we were in. And when my friend saw it we were in the same parking lot drinking our McDonald’s sprites when he looked up and just stared and at the tree line and he said that he saw a triangle looking figure with leg looking things coming from what he though was the cockpit. He said it then shrunk and like disappeared.

A light in the sky in an area outside of regular flight paths hovered and made very fast darts from spot to spot. It maneuvered faster than a plane or helicopter. It did not have the usual twinkling blue or red lights usually seen with planes or helicopters. It stayed in place with very small dart movements for at least 45 minutes on two separate nights, each night in the same place in the sky.

I live on a lake that has a wide view that covers Mt Ranier to JBLM military base. It started when I saw a red glow coming from near JBLM. I thought there might be a fire, or they were blowing stuff up as usual. The only thing is that I hear the explosions all the time, and last night it was really quiet. After the sky glowed and flickered red for 10 minutes, a fiery glowing red/orange egg shaped object rose above the tree line. For about a minute it just sat right at the tree line, almost looking like a sunset. It was 10pm when I started taking pictures, and the sunsets on the opposite side from where I was filming. I would've otherwise thought it was a missile or explosion, but it just sat there hovering. After some time it moved up above the tree line and become fully visible. It moved up and down, and then left and right for a few seconds, and then descended back beneath the tree line. It went dark again for another 15 minutes, and then it rose again above the tree line but this time it was much dimmer, but bright enough to track it. It flew over toward mt ranier, really quickly and hovered there for another 10 minutes or so. Then it started moving again, except it got dimmer quickly and almost vanished in an instant. Not sure what that was... The pictures dont really do it justice. It looks like a sunset but the sun does not set over mt ranier from where i live near olympia. Its opposite of the mountain, and it was after 10pm.

Mt. Rainier National Park- Ashford, WA, WA
In August 2022, I visited Mt. Rainier National Park with my cousin. I took a bunch of pictures with my I-phone 8. It wasn't until I got back to my hotel in Ashford that evening that I saw something in the photo. While zooming in to the left of the mountain, it appears to be something that resembles a typical "UFO." It looks like a gray object in the clouds to the left of the mountain. I took 3 pictures back-to-back, and it only appeared in the 3rd photo. I did not see anything or hear anything at the time of taking the pictures. The location was near the Henry M. Jackson visitor center, on the trail to Myrtle Falls. You may contact me if you need any more information. Thank you.

Dungeness Spit near Sequim, WA
Dungeness Spit is a five mile spit of land that ends at a light house. It was a warm, cloudless day with beautiful views of the Olympic Mountains to the south of me. Three of us hiked out to the lighthouse for lunch and were about half way back (heading west) when I saw the first object. I called out, "There's a UFO!" My friends (as well as others on the beach) looked to the vast sky where I was pointing. Almost immediately, I saw a smaller object to the right (west). After scanning the sky, we walked on. Within 2 minutes I saw a third small object to the left (east). No one saw them but me. I would estimate that they were flying somewhere above Sequim or south of Sequim. They did not appear to be as far away as the mountains. I do not know whether I saw one object 3 times or three different objects. I believe that I was seeing only a part of the object(s) - and this part was reflecting sunlight. The first object was observed the longest - maybe for a full second. The others were just similar flashes. The shape of the object was a 2 dimensional oval with the top cut straight off. Imagine cutting this shape out of a piece of paper. I saw it with its long side tilted about 30 degrees towards me. Immediately, it began rotating up. When it became flat, it disappeared. Just blue sky. Again, I believe I saw only a small part of a larger object (with the rest of it invisible or cloaked?). The part was reflecting the sunlight which is why it appeared flat. I originally reported this to MUFON and was contacted by their investigator. My background: I am a 70 year old retired teacher and school psychologist. I hike several times a week. Nature and observation have always been a part of my life.

Sammamish, WA
I was sitting out in my backyard while my house cooled off so I could go to bed. I was in a lounge chair facing the east watching the planes come in from the east going to Seatac airport. Suddenly I noticed a green egg shaped object appear out of nowhere. It was directly in front of me traveling north towards Everett Wa. It was almost flourescent. I'd guess it was traveling about twice as fast as a typical plane would travel. It made no sound. I believe the object just manifested because I didn't see it off to my left as it entered from the south. I think I would have seen it. A possible debunk is maybe I was focused higher in the sky where the planes were because this object was flying below their flight path. Tough to estimate size. Easily noticeable though. No blinking lights of any kind. It was just an a kind of illuminated green.

Tacoma, WA
From inside my house, after noticing what looked like flashlights in the woods, I walked outside and saw several blue-white lights that seemed to were flickering or pulsating faintly. The woods turned very dark, as did the poetries on either side of my own, darker than usual, and although tmy porch light, as well as the porch lights of both neighbors on either side of my house were turned on, as they usually are throughout the night because we all have properties that right up to edge of the state park forest, the area was somehow darker. That is to say that it was clear to see that the exterior lights of our houses were turned on but somehow did not illuminate anything beyond a few feet. It was then that I saw that the forest started to light up slowly with a soft flickering or pulsing blue- white glow, and stretched to just srijnd the neighbors’ properties also, from what I could see. I turned on my flashlight and I saw the same transparent wave- like forms moving around my yard that I’ve seen many times both during the day and at night for a few years now. I turned off my flashlight and it was then I saw three distinct balls of the same blue- white lights descend very slowly , approximately 20 feet in front of me on the path that starts on the edge of my backyard in the woods. I looked around me and from the three other sides (behind me, and to my right and to my left) I saw a hushed glow of blue- white light that was broken by very dark silhouettes of both talk and short, gangly people with enormous heads and king arms. That’s what they looked like. I say they because each form moved with a distinct gate in separate cadence. The entire time I heard a very heavy vacuum cleaner in the sky. I’ve never heard a machine or vehicle that sounded like this but the thing that I could hear all around me, from the time I looked out my window to when I walked outside and observed the forest, the falling lights and the ‘Montgomery Burns’ looking night-walkers, is to compare it to a high powered, very efficient (probably Japanese) vacuum cleaner. To make sure I wasn’t dreaming I sat down for a minute, looked all around again, lit a cigarette, took two drags, but then put it out as everything seemed to stop when I lit the cigarette so I took that as a cue, stood back up, the lights grew more intense. I took a quick up the hill in the neighborhood to try to get a better view but found none, lingered for roughly five minutes but walked back down to my house for fear of being mistaken for a a prowler by other HOA residents, and woke up on my sofa this morning at 9. I wasn’t outside for more than 30- 40 minutes, including the walk up and through my neighborhood, but it was 4:30 when I looked at my phone right before falling asleep back in my sofa after the walk. This has happened many many times, and I don’t think I’ll report anymore as the first one I submitted was probably discarded, though it took 3 yrs to get the nerve to write it, as this one will probably be too. I don’t blame you if you do as I would do the same, in fact. I would’ve only made it a few sentences before tossing it, there’s much more and much better written things to read. All I can say is this is 100% non- fiction.

I was sitting on the back porch of my house, looking to the east, and an extremely large craft, larger than I've ever seen, glinted across the sky moving from Southwest to Northeast, almost intersecting with Jupiter's location in the night sky. Its size from where I am located had to have been at least 1/3 of the moon's size from my point of view, the sighting only lasted roughly 5 seconds or so in total, the craft itself about 1 1/2 seconds, the aurora, or wake, lasting another 4 seconds or so before dissipating.

Ocean Shores, WA
Looking in the direction of Cassiopeia at 10:12 PM with a completely clear sky I witnessed at least 5 lights arranged in a V almost half circle formation with an additional 2 lights; one taking a position in the front moving from left to right (north south) and back to the other end of the formation whilst the other light following in the rear copied this motion but in an opposing manner ( if the front light was at the north end the rear would be in the south) . The manner in which these 2 oscillating light flew was too perfect, they did not alter their path. Only a guard of the tomb of the unknown soldier can move like that. This formation flew very quickly from west to east rapidly reaching the horizon. Before the 1st formation disappeared from sight a second formation of at-least 5 lights in a more compact V formation entered the sky at the same location as the initial formation and followed the same path across the sky in-front of cassiopeia until reaching the horizon. The speed at which these lights flew across the sky exceeds any ISS transit and Satellite I have seen in the night sky. The best way to describe the individual lights is to compare them to the stars in the background night sky, if they suddenly stopped moving they would look like new stars in the sky. My thoughts, 1st wave aliens, second wave maybe fighter jets. This happened at a very popular beach and the movement was too quick and and lasted too long for me to be the only one to witness it, I can only hope. Thank you.

Seattle, WA
My friend and I sat on his back porch in recliners chairs in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle at 2:30 am sun jul 31st 2022. While conversing I said something about not believing in god (coincidence) and just then, viewed 3 lights in a line and another single light all fly in formation over Puget sound from South to north. I heard one jet but my friend did not. We had seen multiple planes in the sky over Seattle around that time, however. It appeared like they were in the shape of a triangle pointed in the direction of their movement. The 3 lights on the west back corner of the triangle and the single light on the east back corner of the triangle. My friend asked me if I saw that and I confirmed I saw it as well. My hypothesis is that it is a Boeing test flight done at night to reduce observability of the experiment. The 3 lights could be the observer craft recording multiple angles of the single light experiment.

Distinct blue- white pulsing light with no apparent fixed point but also very localized, rustling in the woods like footsteps a few feet away but there’s nobody there ( I.e. Tweekers like I supposed it to be) nobody is there. Lights have come into my window, for several years, neighbors think it’s me withaflaslight and vice versa. Nany nights of lost time, few hrs at a time. Caught something on my phone camera video last night unintentionally because I’ve been trying ti catch whoever it is but it’s nobody and tonight it / they seems ti be much more bold. I’m unsettled and ridiculed and I don’t think this “ report” is going to be read by anyone but I’m frightened enough to try anything at this point. Thank u for your time. They killed my dog two years ago I’m sure if it now, a healthy 7 rd old male pit bull who limped out of the forest one day after being in there for a minute only and then list 40 lbs in two weeks following then died. My other dogs don’t kind the woods anymore, the noises of machinery is louder each night like a freighter in puffer sound but no boats during observed times. Not planes from SeaTac either, different humm, more military osprey fly frequently now over my house and dash point park. If someone reads this you should know that as I am writing there lights coming in my window, movement outside, and im a little freaked by this realization and writing fast apologies for that.

An hour or two later during the flight, I retrieved my phone and reviewed the photos and to my surprise there was something seemingly hovering above the mountain. It appears to be a disk or cigar shape. I inspected the window to which I will still seated to next to it and I could not see any blemish or crack that could have caused this. I also check the camera lens for debris, dust, or other particles, but could not see anything with my naked eye.

At 12:26 am. My two teenage sons could not sleep and were up. From the upstairs of the house looking east above the Weyerhaeuser tree line they witnessed, photographed and video this seemingly very odd object in the night sky. Where we live there are no neighbors or lights from other sources. Only the stars, sun, and moon. Once I zoomed in on the video they took, the object had the tic tac shape that navy f-18 pilot commander fravor witnessed and chased. Pretty creepy actually. They both said it just hovered and changed directions I’m the same place. Had a bright aura around it with what they described as having 4 sources of light. Then it disappeared.

Saw large light in eastern sky at first I thought to be the ISS, but instead of moving across the sky, it stayed still, then seemed to take off and disappeared into the sky.
