On March 25th 2021 at 9:50 pm I was sitting in my car at the Olalla Beach in Washinton State on the phone with a friend. Suddenly above my car appeared a large UFO. It was black with lights all over it with no markings, there was no sound and it just hovered over the front of my car for about 15 seconds about 30 feet in the air. I can only describe it like a peice of black tourmaline, abstract and mostly recangular but resembled a crystal rock shape and not like anything I have ever encountered before. I would say it was aproximately the size of a semi truck. I opened my car door and got out to take a photo. I was in awe, I had to just observe it for a few more seconds. It began to move very very slowly towards the Saratoga Passage then up and over the Olalla bridge. Still no sound and slow movement with lights flashing all over the object. I tried to take photos while it was above me however my cell wouldn't work at the moment. I watched it go from above my car ! after appearing below a tree line on my right side, as you will see in my day picture I took today. This craft did not fly in above me, it just simply appeared. I am sending you a photo of the scene I took today in the daylight and from the right you can see the treeline. It appeared above the water, then flew to the left out to the sound towards Seattle. It moved up and over the bridge that you can see in the night shot I was able to get after it moved further from me. It dispersed into orange round lights and continued to fly off to the left with no sound at a snails pace. After going to the site today I took a panorama of the area and realised that it flew right through the power lines hanging above the Olalla Bridge. I am just now reporting this because when I tried to talk to a person they told me to fill out a written report and that the phone lines were too busy for him to be able to talk long and that this had been reported from California, Oregon, and all u! p the Washington Coast. It was amazing, astonishing and I obs! erve the night skies all the time and have NEVER ever seen a UFO like this one.

There are currently 6 drones above tge Bay in Port Ludlow, we were outside looking at them when something moving horizontally flashed across the sky right in front of us. It was circular but had at least 6 other lights trailing right behind it. We couldnt tell it was separate things following each other or one thing with whit trails behind it.....

Centralia, WA
In Centralia, WA around 9pm I was on my way outside and looked up at the sky. It was cloudy, but I distinctly saw 7-9 glowing starlike orbs traveling south to northeast dipping under the moon. They were in a v like formation with the center point leading like a flock of geese. It seemed to me that they were their own entities. I thought they may be shooting stars at first but they were traveling too slow for that. It lasted about 5 seconds. My friend who was on the other side of the yard also saw the same thing.

It looked like a combination of a very slow moving comet and a long freight train with dotted windows lit up. It moved through the sky from west to east and crossed over Heller Road around 9pm. The front was the brightest and had the most lit up objects but there were other bright lights scattered in the middle and towards the back. The light trailed off behind each bright light. My son thought it was a one of the big navy carrier planes, but it didn’t make any sound and was a lot bigger/longer and looked way different to him when his eyes adjusted to the image. He saw it more as a formation of bright, round lights. I also thought it was a navy carrier plane since they fly overhead here all the time but when I lifted his window shades I could tell that it was something very different. It was massive and slow moving. I have never seen anything like that before. A truck driving down Heller Road slowed to a stop as it passed over head. We assume he or s! he saw it too.

On the freeway - driving - everyone slowed down - some were swerving- So many lights, big and small - some in a haze - it looked like a comet or as some have stated ribbons - there also looked like the mass had an escort following - possible military.

I was with my daughter walking our dog at night. I initially saw 3 round lights that seemed to be surrounded by at least 2 helicopters (sound, lights recognizable). 1 disappeared behind tree cover and the other 2 stopped and stayed in the same position, high above some homes and a treed area east of me. Because they stopped moving and were unusual in shape and color, I decided to start filming them with my phone camera. At first I held my phone but I was moving too much so I propped my elbows on a mailbox and continued to film. They are circular and seem to pulsate. Towards the end of the video the thing on the right starts to flicker and blink out a little. The stationary lights below are street lights. I am standing on the uphill portion of a street and our neighborhood is on the top of a hill. After I stopped filming I went home (just around the corner, but I couldn't see them from my house) so we jumped in my car to see if we could get closer for a bette! r look. I drove on a road that took us south but I couldn't find a better view. When I turned around and went back to the place we were at before, both of them were gone. I have a video, and this was reported to another agency who investigated and found this incident to be unknown/unidentifiable.

My partner and I were sitting on the balcony of our condo when we noticed a strange lighted object in the sky, above the tree line. It was moving up, down, and horizontally. The light changed brightness and at times would disappear completely and reappear in a different location. After the last time it disappeared, it looked like there was either a triangular craft rotating, or three separate crafts rotating in a triangle formation.

I will try to send a short video I got of it... Object moving quickly to the east of me headed south. No sound like a plane would have, also moving very quickly. Short,quickly dissapating trail behind it. I couldn't see wings. Perhaps some kind of space rock? Once the object reached the clouds, it did not show again on the other side as I expected. May be shiny.

Orange curves ribbon,(like the ribbon of Star Trek Generations movie.) Going West to East,(following I-90, my own sense of direction.)As it went closer, look it something was behind it, "A plane" but not really sure if there was something bind it. As its going a small V shape cam out on south side of it, no tip, connecting tailing the rest.it faded like everything when its far away.

Mattawa, WA
At approximately 4:55 a.m. on Thursday, March 11, 2021 I was outside looking at the night sky. It was very dark with bright stars when I saw a long cylinder of bright lights coming from the Southwest headed to the Northeast. At first I thought it was a really bright shooting star, but soon realized it wasn’t. It stayed at a constant slow speed and did not have a tail like a shooting star would. I woke my husband and he saw it as it passed almost over our home, about the height it seemed of a low flying military carrier might. We both described it as a long straight tube with about a dozen circular lights in it. It was not one solid light, there was space between each bright light within the cylinder. Relating it to things we know, it looked like a piece of rope light that was perfectly straight moving through the sky. It lasted around a minute and a half and disappeared over the Northeast horizon .

Looking toward the North east I saw an object that looked like a needle or a lowercase l. Compared to the stars in the sky I would have to say the object was thousands of miles long and did not change shape as it disappeared from my field of view. Instantly made me feel uncomfortable.

I went to my backyard to let the dog out, and as I was standing there facing south, I saw 3 red lights flying at normal aircraft speed, but in a triangle formation, going north directly my toward me, but very high in the ski. Just as they were about 70 degrees in sight, they gradually faded out. No aircraft sounds, no blinking and the faded one by one. As the last one faded, the next set of 3 appeared, same triangle pattern, same exact flight path, same structure, same red light, same fade out. I didn’t have my cell phone, so I could not record it, but I went back outside and noticed a very strong chemical, burned plastic smell. And the smell is still happening now, 30 minutes later.

My husband took photos from cell phone that he saw in sky from our home after dropping me off to work in early AM. I enlarged photos best I could, we are not technical whizzes. He said it was doing “all sorts” of flight path maneuvers, not just a straight path, turning as it flew. I find them very intriguing and showed my co-workers at local hospital pharmacy… we were all baffled and still, to this day. There seems to be glowing around the perimeters.

I walked outside to take my dog out and looked up at the sky to see what looked like two rows of yellow lights moving above me. They were flying at a fast but constant pace. As I looked in the direction that it was going, I saw one light ahead which made me realize it appeared to be a giant craft above me instead of just the rectangular lights. Being 5 am it was still not light out but it was clear enough to see it was not a plane and there was absolutely no noise coming from the craft. Lots of planes fly above this apartment complex and I have never witnessed anything like this before. We have a lot of tall evergreens here and as I tried to follow it, it disappeared behind some of the trees.

Last night, March 1st 2021, at 10:05 pm, I saw 4 lights in the southwest sky in Edmonds. They had a slightly pale orange tint to them. There were 3 evenly spaced-horizontal in the sky. The 4th one was directly below the middle one about 15 degrees south. As such * * * * They were moving up and down in unison. I watched for 5 minutes. I looked again at 11:30pm, they were gone. On Wednesday night February 24th, 2021, (I believe it was that night or the following night), about 11:00 pm, in the same spot in the southwest sky, I saw the 4 lighted objects. They were in a rectangular shape with the lower far right one dropping downward moving faster than the others were moving. They were closer to earth than the ones on March 1st. Their color was a bit more orange/red. As such * * * *

Three adults witnessed an orb-like object in the night sky. Sky was mostly clear, with a few faint clouds. Bright starlight. Orb appeared seemingly out of nowhere as a fast-moving object moving more or less horizontally across the landscape, pretty close to the tree line. From our vantage point the orb appeared from the direction of the star Sirius and travelled east to west. Orb appeared to be black or translucent (night sky was dark) with a white-ish circular outline. A “fire tail” appeared off the backside, looked mostly white/orange/red, as it moves through the sky. Like a tail. After zipping across the sky, the orb stopped instantly and hovered for 3-5 seconds. Then either disappeared instantly or zoomed away parallel to our point of reference so quickly it appeared to disappear? Total event was 15-25 seconds.

Driving down keene in west richland facing Rattlesnake mountain. I observed a metallic flash in the sky, almost as if a light was shined on metal. There was no visible object in sky and it was a sunny day with no clouds. I asked my husband if he saw anything. We both observed it flash another 4 times before disappearing towards Hanford.
