Port Angeles, WA
West door of barn was open. Picking up hay spilled by cows. I heard a low rumble noise. A bright light caught the top of my eyes. I stood up to see what I thought was the moon for a second. I realized it was moving fast 150 feet from me and from south to north just above the tree line. It was opaque and pale with distinct borders putting out bright light.(no aura). It could have been an oval or egg shaped. My eyes followed it. It passed through low wispy light clouds, then behind something black (a tall tree) then through wispy clouds again and off in the distance. It was almost dark outside. 5:15 guestimate. I saw it do a slight ark and then a dive to the earth or water. It was to my horizon at that time because of the change in the land contour and tall trees running perpendicular to the trees closer to my place. 3-5 minutes passed and I heard another low rumble. For a trajectory, I was facing west. My left hand was pointed straight in front of me. It ended where my right hand was 70 degree. I saw it for 3-5 seconds total. The object was silent, but somehow accompanied by a low rumbling noise like thunder. I was not aware of aircraft chasing it. The only electrical effect was that my computer would not respond. It froze up when I tried to get my report written last night. I believe that when it was close to me and after the first rumbling, there may have been a middle rumbling in the distance, then the third rumbling 3-5 minutes after it dove downward.

While driving in Shelton area heading to the 101-highway, I noticed a silver oval sized object in the sky at some distance away. At first I thought it must be an aircraft or balloon, but object did not change position . After a couple of minutes the object just faded away. No clouds were seen near the object .

Sequim, WA
I am a college graduate. Speak 3 languages. Raised 4 daughters overseas. My husband has his Masters degree, and is knowledgeable in identifying aircraft. I was up early and noticed a bright light in the sky, heading south over the Strait of Juan de Fuca towards us. I assumed it was a large jet heading towards Seattle, but there were no blinking lights. I asked my husband what he thought it was and because it was low he thought maybe a military helicopter. We continued to watch it slowly turn and then hover about 100 feet over our neighbor’s house. There was no sound, no blinking lights and was shaped like a cigar. It must have turned because then we saw on one side only, a string of green lights. And then it began to head north and disappeared like lightening.

Went outside to let my dogs out and saw these lights in the sky moving in erratic directions. Clearly not a satellite, and not a plane. Their movement while did have some level of pattern to it, was rather erratic. I could not see any beam of light that might explain their origin, and even if there was, I find it doubtable that someone is shining 4 spotlights in the sky at 3:30 in the morning on a Wednesday. I was able to record the event, though the footage does not fully capture their luminosity. I am perplexed by this phenomenon. Yesterday, my local news network showed a video of the same event happening the night prior, but with more clarity then my video. I’m not the only one who witnessed these lights, and I feel it is worth submitting an entry.

Very bight light located as reported in the sentence above. The light was stationery and there were clouds behind it and it was before sunset, so it was not a star. We watched it for about 5 minutes as clouds passed behind it. Finally it became obscured by cloud cover.

when i woke up really early this morning i couldn’t go back to sleep so i got a snack and sat down in front of my window facing the Mt Angeles/hurricane ridge mountains when i saw 3 white lights that weren’t exactly flashing but they were fading and dimming in and out. Personally i think those lights are way too high to be any people/houses this early

I was sleeping in my car while my fiancée was driving doing DoorDash deliveries when he suddenly woke me up and asked me to look in the sky and tell him what was the 7 glowing lights Flying and Hovering in the sky as soon as I seen how the lights where changing colors and moving in a weird formation and Shooting off Fast in the sky we immediately started recording and following the lights I never seen anything like this in my life and I know for sure it was not a plane I trued to call my local news but they didn’t believe us so this is my last resort I just want the world to know there is other intelligence of some sort that is not like us whatever those were flying in the sky is not from earth.

Was outside looking at an owl that had just flew over and landed on the powerline. I turned around because I heard something in the bushes and I saw a bunch of unusual lights in the sky. I counted 13 at first as they were moving up from the horizon and then stalled for a moment, twinkled a bit, moved some more and then eventually went higher and would disappear. As they were disappearing, new lights were slowing appearing from the same spot on the horizon. Eventually, they all disappeared one at a time. They were also twinkling from dim to bright as they hovered. They appeared as bright orange, I could not make out a specific shape. The owl let out a screech and a hoot and flew low just above my head just after I noticed the lights.

Hovering craft, no noise, quickly left, then came back hovered over the river. Close enough that I could see inside. I have video that shows part of what I saw. The river can be heard. A bird and myself. Not the craft.

Bremerton, WA
On Monday, November 8, 2021, at approximately 5:53 pm. I went outside to my bedroom balcony to smoke a cigarette. After I lit up I looked out of my unobstructed waterfront property I noticed 7-10 very bright white lights. My balcony overlooks the west side of Bremerton, Washington, I live in east Bremerton west of the Warren Bridge. The lights were to the left of the Bridge over west Bremerton. I can not estimate how far they were away. But at a minimum it was a couple of miles out. The lights were east of me towards Seattle. It took me about a minute to locate my Ipad and start recording. The lights were much brighter than what was captured by my Ipad. The lights moved independently of each other but remained in a morphing cluster. One by one their brightness faded and they could no longer be seen.

Note: my neighbor had grabbed his phone and took video, but we agree that it doesn’t look anything like what we saw.. and doesn’t do it justice, and does’t depict how close and/or the actual size, and he was moving around so the video looks like the objects were dancing around, which wasn’t the case. It’s challenging to take raw video of a night object with an iPhone and expect too much.. maybe with more experience, but I don’t expect to see anything quite like that again. Amazing.

I took my dog out and it's only 8 at night and I saw a star that was too bright. I think north star but was East in the sky. Then it starts moving. Not an airplane it's going left right up and down. I live near a military base. Next thing is fighter jets are flying over. That's not normal I've lived here 20 years they land over our house it's the only time the launch over me. And it's f16 locked and loaded so close to me I read the words they painted on the plane. As the went towards the light it went up in the sky and faded away and disappeared couple minutes later the fighting jets returned

It looked like the number 3, but kinda like a snake? The top end of the curved craft had this bulb, knob type thing? And the bottom end just rolled off, into a tear drop formation. The object was a smooth, matte, silvery white. It looked like it was made of some type of clay material, but looked metallic? I don't even know to properly explain it.

La Conner, WA
Clear night no moon I was outside in my back yard looking for the northern lights. I was out there for about 15 minutes and looking to the east when I noticed a dim object in my peripheral vision moving fast from the south. I thought it was a shooting star but it wasn't. It looked like I was looking at a straight leading edge of an object about the length of my finger held at arms length. It moved in a straight path to the north I saw it for about 4 seconds before I lost it behind some tall cedar trees. I thought that maybe I had seen the ISS but I have seen that before and this was moving too fast. 4 minutes later i was looking to the north and saw the same object moving south but this time I had a better look and it seemed the object had a slight angle to the leading edge. As it passed overhead it looked like it was translucent or maybe it was reflecting the minimal light around it. It seemed like the area behind the the leading edge where the body would ! be was distorting the sky. I saw this for about 8 seconds before i lost track of it behind the roof of my house. The object made no sound.

I was looking inside looking out a my friends window at around 2:45 am at some objects moving in the night sky, they looked like moving stars. So I got my phone out to see if I could get a picture, I looked outside about to videotape them and something moving across the street from me caught my eye. So I started video taping what I saw. It look like a creature about the height of a 5 years old child . The creature looked hunched down. It looked like he was either waving at me or doing some sort hand signals. The creature looked white with black eyes. It didn't seem like it wanted to harm me, but it was staring back at me.. I was curious of it. When I looked again at 11:am the creature was not there!

Shoreline, WA
Witnessed a rectangular prism shaped object with 3 distinct circular red lights in a row. Sighting was west of I5, east of the flight pattern of air traffic, in Shoreline. The object rose vertically into the sky from the tree line until it reached a certain height, then stayed in one place and began disappearing/reappearing and flashing different colors. I took 3 different recordings of it on my phone, but the interesting thing about this is in the video (which isn’t very good quality being an iPhone) the craft appears as a red spherical object instead of rectangular and there appears to be many moving lights all around the sphere, whereas to the naked eye there where only what appeared to be 3. The sighting took place for approximately 4 minutes; the first recording is 24 seconds long starting at 8:21 PM the second recording is 1 minute 44 seconds, and the last where it lowers vertically out of sight lasts 32 seconds. When I first noticed it I was alone in ! my back porch and watched it to make sure it wasn’t a drone, then went into the house to get my daughter. The object disappeared completely for at least 20 seconds then reappeared and continued to do this several times, in between which at one point the lights flashed then only one appeared, then flashed several times, disappeared/reappeared then flashed green lights, then white, then disappeared again. During this time the neighbor’s dog began barking. The object went higher up, and when it reappeared for the final time it flashed these colors, went back to the bank of 3 red lights, then lowered again slowly until I couldn’t see it any longer. I was in absolute awe and honestly terrified. The height of the object and the size made me conclude that it couldn’t be a drone nor lasers from the ground. For the rest of the night our cats kept waking me up every hour until my alarm went off at 5:30 AM.

At first I thought these were traffic helicopters in the night sky along the I5 corridor, from the I90 overpass up to Northgate, as they had red, white & blue blinking lights, that appeared to be attached to the underside of an object (the object from a distance reminded me of image of the TV version of Starship Enterprise, but when our car came closer to being under one of them, I was unable to determine the shape of the object), but they appeared to be unmoving. There were a succession of them intermittently placed in a line along the east side of I5. They were too high to be a projection image or attached to a crane (and too high to be attached to a crane)

I saw an honest to goodness UFO. It was not an airplane, balloon or a bird. It was perfectly round and the same color as a rain cloud. It flew from Southern horizon to Northern horizon at Mach speed. It took it about 30 seconds to disappear to the North. Well that's about it. My alias is ((name deleted)) and just to tell you I am in my mid fifties and it was by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. Peace be with you

There were fireball/ circle shapes hovering in the sky. Then 3 of them froze in place making a bright triangle formation. It then rotated about 3 times and then eventually dispersed. Have video that I will upload. There were a lot of them.

I had just pulled up to my place after running to the store and when I got out of my car I saw a extremely bright gold shining light that appeared to be stationed in one spot. It was so bright that I knew it wasn't a street light or tower post that have lights for planes. I pulled my phone out to pictures and recorded it and sure enough the bright light that was big started to dim down and move to the right and started to blink a red color then disappeared in thin air!

Yesterday I was driving to band rehearsal @ 3:29 PM on HWY 9 About 1 mile west of Lake Stevens . I'm traveling 55mph. An object in the sky caught my eye. Flying in the same direction as me moving horizontally slightly diagonally to the left. It was just above the tree line aprox 175ft. in altitude. It passed me and disappeared over the tree line 1\4 mile ahead of me on the left side. Approx size was 10-15 ft in length and solid black in color (Sky was clear & sunny ). Shape was round or oval. Now as a drone and R/C pilot for many years I am familiar with judging height and speed of the aircraft I fly. I was traveling at 55mph. The unknown aircraft passed me at at least double my speed. My fastest drone will do 45mph. I know of no drone that surpasses 65mph (small racing drones). So tell me, what has no wings, no props, no vertical stabilizer and no visible form of propulsion. I'll grant you a round disc like a frisbee is an airfoil and will fly. Also it was silent. This was not a parachute or hang glider or any thing I've ever seen . Idea's?????
