First object bright lights low in the sky, not moving, second object going downwards fast towards the tree line and disappeared, third object low in sky going straight, looked out of the window of the drivers side and it was gone a few seconds later with the third object. First time I have seen THREE UFO's close together in one day.

He spotted them quickly and agreed that they were not moving. We watched them for around 20 minutes more and he agreed they looked metallic because of the sunlight reflecting. The object on the left was brighter. I don’t know of any commercial craft that fly that high; or, at least, when I have seen aircraft at an extreme altitude I can identify them. We were unable to identify what they were. After awhile I had to go into the house and was distracted by a phone call. At some point my husband continued with his yard work. When I came back out around 45 minutes later, both objects were gone. I have since gone outside about the same time on sunny days, but have never seen them again. My husband snapped three pictures; at first it looked like nothing was there, but when the pictures are enlarged and you know where to look, you can see them. Of course, they are not as clear and bright as they were to our eyes, but something is definitely there. They are distorted, but look almost squarish. If you would like the pictures I will send them, but I am not sure if they would help. We have a friend who is an amateur astronomer. He did come over and look from the spot where we were standing and also saw the pictures. He doesn’t have a clue. I don’t know have a clue as to research what they might have been. We are certain, however, that they were definitely metallic, and were not moving. phone compass says 149 degrees SE 47 27'16" N, 122 33'1" W

Lakewood, WA
Military veteran, lived near and currently by military base and flightline. I have seen numerous planes and aircraft that can be marked. On a dark, cloudy night, standing outside my open view back yard, I saw a bright flash appear for a moment in the clouds. A couple minutes after the first flash, there was a second flash in roughly the same position. I was not able to see any craft due to the cloudy night, but the flashes pierced through the veil of clouds enough to catch my attention twice. My German shepherd was quite tense during this time, whining and pacing like there was something disturbing them. They react to military scheduled drills like artillery training, and have grown accustomed to them. This event at night disturbed my dog suddenly.

At 10:24pm Saturday May 22nd 2021 my brother, boyfriend and I were enjoying a campfire in our backyard. I noticed there were 4 to 5 stars next to the moon that were brighter than the others, they began to move around very fast causing my vision to feel blurred. I asked my brother and boyfriend if they saw the moving lights, they both agreed they were seeing them also. Then more bright lights came from the right side of the moon and our property line and joined the other lights, they all moved into a straight line, evenly spaced apart and began moving quickly towards our house, I began recording with my phone and counting the lights. I counted 10 moving lights, then they faded away into nothing. My recording shows lights but not like they were in person. About 20 minutes later 3 more bright lights in a different part of the sky showed up out of nowhere over our horse pasture. They moved into a line evenly spaced apart like the others and flew into a different direction and faded away. Maybe 15 to 20 minutes after that one more bright like came into the sky out of nowhere and moved towards our house again, a star was in the way and the bright moving light moved around the star then back on its straight course. The cloud cover was very thick last night but only around our property and the surround areas. The bright moving lights looked just like stars but much brighter and moved at a fast rate. After all 3 events took place we heard a large helicopter in the area.

At about 10:20 PM on May 21, 2021, I stepped out on the porch on the west side of my home. A light in the sky, just above the tree line and due west, caught my eye. A few minutes previously a small plane had passed by, also due west, moving from the NW in a southerly direction, with the usual running lights and strobe. This, however, was a bigger “blob” of light, very orange, basically spherical but not perfectly so, randomly changing in intensity. It drifted from NW to SW, continuing to “pulse” arhythmically. There was no sound at any time. After maybe 10-15 seconds three more lights, very similar, all orange, drifted in from behind the treeline. They all traveled around lazily, with random changes in velocity and slight changes in direction. All orange and very bright, sometimes dimming slightly or appearing to go translucent. They didn’t settle into any particular configuration, and never too close to each other. All remained just a few finger widths abov! e the treeline, then all four began to drift north. At this point I dashed into the house to get my husband out of bed. He hustled out with me but the lights had gone. After a few seconds a single one drifted up from the treeline WSW of us, then headed NW, again very slowly and with a sort of jerky, random velocity change movement. It faded out as it passed to the north. The whole sighting lasted maybe four minutes. I have phone video but it’s not very helpful. I’m attaching an image I made in Photoshop which more accurately depicts what I saw. These were not satellites. There were wispy clouds and these objects moved in front of the clouds.

I was sitting on my back patio which has a view northward over the Columbia River and into Franklin County, Washington and beyond. I spotted 5 objects flying in a formation in a sweeping motion in what I can best describe as a Blue Angels air show display. The objects were triangular shaped, without visible wings, nose, or tail, and reflected the sun each time they turned making them highly visible. The weather was partial sun with clusters of low rain clouds. The objects flew in complete unison, turning together at exactly the same time going side to side (east to west). I observed for approximately 10 seconds and asked my spouse if she could see them. She did. We watched for approximately another 10 seconds and I ran into the house to get our phones. She continued to watch for approximately 20 seconds as the objects continued to move in complete unison, turning together like a school of fish and they were much faster than an airplane covering a large dis! tance. The objects were many miles away, and moved quickly. There is an airport in the area and the objects did not behave like planes in the air. There are birds in the area and the objects did not behave like birds. When I returned with the phones approximately 20 seconds later I could not locate them on the phone screen as I attempted to record. My spouse looked down at her phone to begin recording and could not locate the objects again when she looked up. I have a flight tracker app on my phone and I checked it. The nearest plane to us at the time was above Sunnyside WA, approximately 40 miles west.

Event 1) 23:00 hour around 50 or 60 UFO’s right behind each other but slightly scattered went north. Flying VERY close together. Not drone like flight they’re were constant distance and maybe a few off the “line formation” they then got too far to see 2) 23:15 (approx) around maybe 25 lights flying farther apart Coming from the SW but disappearing over our area. Lasted about a min 3) 23:20 UFO’s appears same as (2) but this time there were more than 40.

I was looking at the night sky SW of my home. I noticed a pinprick of light moving through the sky. I have seen these before which I believe were jets flying 30,000 to 40,000 mi up and only one. The pinpricks of light I saw this time were followed by six others with the same distance apart. A moment of time past, and these six were than replaced by 40 pinpricks of light slightly further west and going east like the first six and evenly spaced like the first six. I saw a brighter light to my right coming closer to where I was. It was bright white with a yellow center. It went right over my house going east.

Sequim, WA
Recently in Sequim, Washington State, I saw the most amazing thing ever and feel compelled to share this with all interested. I now know the truth on this particular subject. Sunday night 5/17/2021, at 22:40 I decided to hit the sack earlier than normal. Partly because my 150lb Lab/Rot mix was pestering me, as he was ready to zonk out. I left my Man-Cave and headed for the house. As I reached my back door, I noticed something shimmering in the night sky. It was a clear night, only a sudden weather change brought in some low clouds. From here on I will relate my first impressions. This shimmering object was quite a distance from me, to my left and at about a 65-degree angle up towards the NW. It was in the atmosphere and may have been over The Strait of Juan de Fuca? It looked long and lay horizontal in the sky. At first, I thought it might be lights reflecting off an odd shaped cloud. That's until I realized it was moving to the East. Heck, that was no cloud! The shimmering seemed hypnotic and perhaps caused by the atmosphere? This object was going to pass right through my Northern view. I estimate it was moving just a bit slower than a commercial Jetliner when they pass over. At that point I knew this was something unusual. So, I ran for my vehicle to retrieve a pair of binoculars and by the time I fished them out, the object was straight across from me. I was facing North and when I peered through the optics at this object, my world changed! I could not believe what I was clearly seeing, yet knew exactly what I was seeing... a craft, a real UFO! Only this thing was HUGE! I'll get right to the point... it looked like the Freaking Empire State building floating in the sky on its side, only bigger and perhaps more like the World Trade Center!!! This clearly was a craft with 70 to 100+ windows patterened on its side. Just like a skyscraper at night with about 30% of the windows dark/off. The windows on were lit from within and surely what caused the shimmering. These were not navigation l! ights. Nor were they flashing. The structure of this craft was clear. It was like watching a Science Fiction Movie, when the big Mother Ship arrives to earth! Only this thing was real and no way ours! I was observing a side view, which seemed about 4 stories tall. I did not see a top or bottom view or different angle of the craft. Again, just picture the side view of a flying modern skyscraper. Through my binoculars I saw structure. No doubt in my mind this was a craft. Stunned I watched as it moved to my right. A much closer to me cloud bank would soon obstruct my view. When about one third of its front end was hidden by the clouds, it suddenly stopped. Then its trailing end started rotating to the horizontal upward position and stopped at about 65 degrees. At that point it descended. I watched until fully hidden by clouds. This craft was so big that I kind of expected to hear a crash! None came and this entire event was silent. If this craft was over water, it may have plunged in? I know what I clearly saw- a huge UFO, now etched into my mind forever! Certainly, someone else may have seen it and hope they come forward. Hey US Military... there is NO Way you don't know about this object on this night! Tell us the truth! For me seeing is believing and I can now say for certain, UFOs, crafts not of this world are REAL! I've shared this sighting with others who know me. Yet few seemed surprised/excited, even care. Oh well. Seeing this craft filled me with a sense off... Now I Know!

On May 16th I took my dog outside for bathroom at about 11:00pm. As soon as we got outside I looked up and saw a long line of bright white lights crossing the sky. The line of lights went as far north as I could see, (about half the night sky before the horizon was blocked by an apartment building) and as they moved over head they would just disappear one at a time in the same exact spot. The lights were moving relatively slow and were in a perfectly straight uniformed line, all the same distance from one another. I tried to film it with my IPhone 8, but nothing showed up so I ran inside, told my girlfriend to come out and grabbed her iPhone 11. I went back outside and tried to film with her phone, but it still didn’t show up so I went back inside and Convinced my girlfriend to come out and she also saw the line of lights. About 10 or 15 seconds after she came out another much much larger bright light appeared and started to move across the sky at the same ! slow speed in a different direction. After about a minute and a half from when she came out the seemingly endless line of lights came to an end as we saw the last one pass over head and disappear. At that point my girlfriend went inside, but I stayed and watched the larger bright light until it went out of view over the horizon. It was literally just that, a large bright circular light, nothing was blinking or had any color at all, and I didn’t even think to film it because I had already given up on filming before it appeared. In total I watched the lights for about 5 to 7 minutes and they were already in full swing when I first saw them. Also while I was filming the first time I watched a small farm plane fly right by the line of lights. I guarantee he got a great view of them, he may have even been able to see where they were originating from idk. Here’s the thing Where I live is a very densely populated area near an airport so I’m amazed I couldn’t find a report from w! here I live that nigh (which is why I’m reporting this) so if ! anyone g ot a different view please report, especially if anyone got it on film, that would be so cool!

I let my dog out at 1:50a or so, maybe 1:45a. Clear skies, bright stars visible. I looked up to the east and saw a string of bright white lights slowly passing by. The length of this was about as long as my index finger, extended to arms length. I had binoculars and my cell phone just inside the door, so I looked at the lights through the binoculars. Crystal clear lights, straight line, very close together. They were as bright as the stars and made no sound. A few in the line were not "turned on", making a break in the line, but there were about 35 all together. As I was trying to turn on my cell phone camera, the lights had moved out of view, hidden by the fir trees in my backyard. I saw on a youtube channel that a few other people within 50 miles of me saw this too. One man described it as "The Empire State Building laying on it's side". He felt it was a solid object from his angle, and he used binoculars, too. I think of it as a string of lights.

I observed the craft with binoculars and it appeared to have windows all in a row along the side .the craft did not appear to be rotating but it appeared to be vibrating as it moved along. The craft was not making any noise. The craft was very large and was flying at a slant. We observed it until it disappeared over the horizon to the east

Four of us were camping at Baker Lake. We were around the fire and I looked up at the stars and I saw a linear formation of lights from behind the trees. Got up to look at it in a clearing, it was fairly close at this time and it appeared to be floating. It was not making any noise, at least not that I could hear. I could not make sense of it and called my three friends over, who all saw it and were just as taken back by it, with complete inability to explain what it could possibly be. It was fairly large at first and got smaller as it slowly moved away towards the mountains. It had approximately 10 small sqaure looking white lights on it; far enough apart to be distinguished from one another, but too close together to possibly be multiple satellites. The lights appeared to rotate. I managed to get a photo, but it was much further away at this point. It was approximately one minute of all four of us getting a good look at it closer up before it moved furthe! r over the mountains and was not as easily seen.

What was seen at first was a single constant light moving towards the north sky from a southern position without sound and next to it a bright light came on next to it asmif it were another craft of some sort, and then a few seconds later the light went out, and the object continued north until out of sight. Then a few minutes later a long craft was seen moving from our west to northeast. This craft looked like a string of pearls in a row. The craft was very long and looked big as if it were in the upper atmosphere. It moved at the pace of a satellite in orbit until it was out of sight in the same direction as the other object. I took video of the object although the video is not very clear unfortunately. I will still be happy to share it.

Around 10:30pm my daughter, age 20 called me and had told me to come outside there was something weird in the sky. Once outside I had witnessed with Her a oblong white thing traveling at a fairly slow speed from the west to the east in the sky north of our position. It was fairly large, I would say it's length was about that of a dime held up at arm's length, fairly thin and was white against the night sky, not super bright. There were times it seemed to be a little brighter but not much so I am not certain if that was the case or it was just my eyes, it was not at any point bright enough to capture on a cell phone for a video. It was horizontal in the sky and we witnessed it until we could no longer see it because its view had been obstructed by trees, I had witnessed it for approximately a minute to a minute and a half and my daughter had witnessed it approximately two to three minutes.

At approximately 10:35 PM, my female companion noticed a bar of light moving across the sky behind the treetops of a nearby mountain. The first words uttered about the object were, "Is that a train?". Moments later the bar of light moved out of the wooded treetops and into the sky (it had been in the sky all along, but was merely obscured by the trees). It was a horizontal flat line of light punctuated by several brighter circular points along the line. How distant the object was was difficult to discern, but seemed to be flying lower than the planes in the night sky, and was 5-8x the size in our field of view. It moved slowly from West to East across the sky. It wasn't long before it began to go from completely horizontal to being at a 45-60 degree angle, without changing its trajectory or movement pattern. It was at some point during this transition that I took the photo, wherein you can see the object at around 30 degrees from its horizontal pos! ition. The camera I used was on a new Samsung phone, which has a low light mode that leaves the shutter open for 3 seconds. The photo appears to show a dark outline, possibly illuminated by similar lights on the other side of the craft.

my daughter and i saw what appeared to be what i can only describe as a sparkler in the sky. the object changed direction and headed east and as it came in to view the craft appeared to be three section that where linked like semi trailers would be. the sections glowed green that my wife described as "like a glow stick" the three sections had what appeared to be dark black struts holding the frame of the craft together. the craft also had a metallic, and for lack of a better term, "cab" that seemed to be pulling the object. the object seemed to be in no hurry and we watched the object until it disappeared from view behind a stand of trees.

On a camping trip, and after my wife went to bed I was standing at the campfire looking up at all of the stars. I saw a long patch of white behind the tree tops and thought it was a comet but it did not streak out from the trees. Then it slowly started moving into the open sky. It stood out as the brightest thing in the sky. Like neon light tubing. The tube inside the fuzzy light looked like a jet airline body. No wings or tail, and as long as a plane .There were black archtop spots across the lower half. Close together with white between them. the object was a dull white on the upper half , and around the dark spots. This is NO joke . I could clearly see it !!! It came over the campground area and moved off to the east . no noise,just coasting along.They were not hiding it at all. WITH MY OWN EYES. It is true. It moved off over the Okanogon Reservation glowing bright. IF anyone else saw it please speak out.Conconully to OMAK area WOW!

We started unpacking camp after dark. Wife says she hears something that sounds like people walking around in the woods across the road 45 feet or so away. We are standing by our truck and it’s off. I then hear it too. I explain this is most likely a dear and if it’s a predictor I have bear spray and a side arm. I tell her we are fine just keep your flash light on while I start a camp fire and finish unpacking. I move to the back of the truck bed. Kids are standing at the front of the truck with their mom. I see light out of the corner of my eye. I look. I don’t say anything. Wife says do you see that. I say yes. Kids say what. Then they see it too. No one points, it’s extremely obvious. We are at a remote camp site, no other campers or light. They all ask is that a spaceship. I say yup sure looks like it. 200 yards across 400 to 500 yards away above the tree line, moving at a very slow speed making no sound. Ambient light reflecting off of some kind of dark metallic material and large lights running down the middle from one side to the other. Maybe 6 lights. Wife said kids get in truck, they were scared. She said do you have your phone and I said I’m not wasting my time looking for my phone cause I’ll miss this. It moved very slow and further away until it disappeared under the tree line. This lasted for maybe 10 minutes. Wife wanted to leave but I said we are fine. We continued to set up camp which takes like 30 minutes and for some reason it was 2 am when I got done. We got to the site a little before 9 pm. Thought that was really weird and can’t explain it. Wife is 35 I’m 36, kids are 14, 9, 7, and 3. We camp a lot. I tell my kids that it’s likely there are things we can’t explain but we don’t see things like this. We decided not to talk about it and told the kids not to share it with people, it’s just cool that we know this is real. Wife is an educated management professional and I’m self employed as a general contractor. I’ve grown up around military aircraft and spent all my life in the woods. The camp site is on a mountain side, so we had an elevated vantage point for most of our field of view.

It was late in the evening but still light out. From my front deck I looked up at the sky and saw 10 to 15 lights or maybe orbs. The sky was mostly clear with a light blue background. I live on the beach and was shocked to see all of those lights together but each was one was slowly moving on its own and all were coming over my house heading SW in like a group. I watched them slowly move SW maybe towards Portland. I am 78 years old and and they sure got my attention!

After returning home from a long day of work, the sun had set. Being approximately 9:00pm PDT I arrived in my driveway. In accordance to a compass, my driveway faces the front of my house to the north, and the back of my house facing towards the south. My property being centered from street light illumination, allowed the 05/13/2021 clear night sky to appear even more crisp with clarity. As I left my vehicle, walking towards the east, my eyes trailing the night sky came to a violent holt. Frozen in my steps I paused. An object of great vibrant color changing illumination completely silent, hovering in one location to the north east in accordance to my house position. 30 minutes has passed, comparing the object to the east edge of my house, my reference point has not changed. Completely still in the same location the object has not changed position in reference to the edge of my house. As minutes passed, I watched the object display multiple patterns of bright polluting light. Giving off different shapes with each sequence of color change in random grouped order. The lights displayed pure radiant energy. Completely amazed and in utter disbelief, I realize that the object is nothing I have ever witnessed in my entire life. After an hour of constant display, I left my reference point and rushed into my house. Frantically gathering my aunt and cousin. Rushing back to my reference point, the object has only changed its pulsing display of color. Ruling out possible explanations of the object being a plane, helicopter, and or drone. Two hours has passed and the objects stillness questions who revolves around who. My aunt and cousin speechless with confusion. All I want is a closer look. My aunt leaves to return with a pair of binoculars. Winding the focus lense my jaw drops. Centered in my view the object forced vibrant light in split seconds. Red flash, elongated speckled light triangle, green flash, speckled hexagon diamond, blue flash, assortment of speckled lines, white flash, solid speckled perimeter, yellow flash, center and trip to tip. The arrangement has no pattern but a sequence of shapes and mixed colors. The object hasn’t alone. Passing off the pair of binoculars hand by hand, the dazzling shapes and colors was the beginning. In split seconds the color arrangement seized to only a white center orb with a perimeter of white sequenced dots. In this seize of color, four small pin point objects arranged outward from the Initial object and disappeared in all directions. Coming up on 3 hours of the objects fixed position, the color display begins again only in completely different arrangements. Passing from the west to the east, a raising humb of an airplanes engine crosses paths with the object. Reviling the sheer size and blinding illumination compared to the plane’s signal lights. The altitude of the object is unknown but obvious to sit higher then the planes flight path. It has been 3 hours and the objects position begins to change. Seemingly to roll across the sky, the object appears flat, in a slow sweep right to left the object is gone from view 3 hours has passed and it is now 12:00am. The Dazzling color show so quick to end only leaves the dark absence of night in its untouched position.

Everett, WA
At 2:15 am, July 5th, I stepped outside on our back deck to smoke and observed an incredibly bright, and fast moving lowercase t-shaped white light traveling across the horizon. It was already at a quick speed by the time I initially viewed it. Traveling West to East, it was far brighter and faster than a satellite, and the same would hold true for an airplane. It struck me as an odd time to launch a rocket, given how many people were blowing off fireworks that night, however, after watching filmed rocket launches several times this year while researching Spacex’s Starlink launches, Blue Origin, and Rocketlab launches, I felt like I was probably watching a night time rocket launch. The only two or three peculiar things were that it was completely silent, although I could easily have been watching something that was 400 miles away, because of how light travels, and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference; and it didn’t leave an exhaust plume. However it was nighttime, and its absolutely possible that the exhaust plume wasn’t visible in the night sky, nor at a relative height to be able to reflect light off of the sun. Hell, if I could do the math, that probably wouldn’t even be an option. Regardless, I watch the light zoom all the way across the horizon in about 90 seconds, saying to myself’ “What a treat, this is amazing!” The horizontal line of the t shape had become significantly stretched out, while the vertical line, from my position, stayed equal length to what it originally was. It’s about to go behind the tree line, so I sprint from the back deck, through the house, and out the front door to hide behind the car and watch this weird light continue on its path across the horizon. I’m scratching my head, when the light just stops moving abruptly. I watch it become enveloped by clouds, but it has an immensely striking lightness shining through the cloud. There were 3 or 4 visible stars in the initially cloudless, and now nearly entirely cloud-covered night sky. Western Washington has very fast changing weather and variability in in vapor pressure, but what really struck me was how bright the still light was behind the clouds. Far brighter than the moon. So significantly brighter than the stars I really had to wonder about it. I observe the abruptly still white light dim completely away, and then like how a lighthouse light becomes visible in the mist as it spins around back into view, the light went back to full luminosity in exactly the same still position, although this time with a red ring around it. Both of which eventually diminish into blank, dark nighttime sky. At the bar a few days later, while discussing the bizarreness of the experience with the bartender, a young man of about 30-35 entered the conversation and told me he worked for a subsidiary of Raytheon, shooting 1-30 mHz waves into the clouds in order to gather data on encrypted messaging information, and told me his work schedule had been delayed by a series or prototypical rocket launches being carried out under Amazon’s Project Kuiper, from the Seattle area. He believed I witness first stage booster separation, ignition of the second stage engine, and simultaneous reignition of the first stage booster as it was landed back in the greater Seattle Area, giving greater possibility to why I watched the light stop midair, disappear, and then reappear with a red halo, then decrescendo into darkness. Now, whether or not that is the answer, which I feel is on pretty slim evidence, given that launch schedules are planned out years in advance, and I couldn’t find any corroborating evidence to say that Project Kuiper has already done prototype launches, I still am holding out strong feelings for a government-related, man-made object to be the explation for this. I’ve spent a significant amount of time researching orbital reentry as well, and although it doesn’t exhibit the typical characteristics of boosters or rockets breaking up on reentry, I did find info on possible entry times of a Chinese-based Long March rocket, CZ-2F that was predicted to re-enter above Washington state within 4 days of of my t-shaped light observation, with a plus or minus of 26 hours. However there were no reported sightings of the re-entry, so its possible it may have been slightly miscalculated. I’ve also considered the possibility of it being a Navy-related government drone, given that I live within 5 miles of a nationally used Navy Base, although that would be one hell of a light they threw on that sucker. I’ve sort of ruled out a really long lasting firework, given that I used to make the stars (the expanding or fast moving colored lights) that go inside or mortar fireworks. There are compounds like titanium or magnesium that can give that long lasting exhaust flare, but there is always a smoke trail to accompany it. And I’ve also never seen a firework trail last longer than about thirty seconds at the very max. Your guess is as good as mine.
