Liberty lake, WA
there was a pulsating circle of light with traces of orange and green beams of light. It was the brightest light in the sky and I have a video of the incident.

I was walking down the street with my staff, when I saw an alien leaping from one backyard, across the road, and jumped the fence to another fenced backyard. The creature was roughly 12’, and looked similar to the creature from the movie ‘Signs’. My staff was not able to get a picture.

Spanaway, WA
A large bright stationary "star" spit out several star looking objects which would then disperse in different directions. The objects then moved across the sky in different directions while visibly dodging other objects in the sky. Some of these formed triangles following a single craft. The large bright stationary "star" then spit out 1 large RED CRAFT. These objects were high enough in the sky to have the appearance of stars. The red craft shot across the sky diagonally which crossed directly above me and my sister. The res craft was bright enough that we figured we could pick it up on camera. I started recording and my sister asked jokingly asked the "ufo" if the aliens were here to let us know they are here. Immediately the craft stopped propelling directly above us when she asked almost as if it knew we were staring at it. The craft then flashed BRIGHT lights down at us and descended towards us rapidly while continuing to flash at us. Each flash had a heatwave that came with it and our faces felt sunburned while our heads felt like we just had ct-scans. The craft then hovered above us at an estimated 500 feet above us. It went from clearly above 30,000ft to 500ft above us in a matter of seconds. As it flashed at us I felt magnetized to stare and almost stuck where I was. It started to get closer and my sister ran inside shouting "RUN" but I felt like I couldnt move. To be honest I don't know how long I stayed outside staring up at the bottom of this craft. When we went outside about 10 minutes later the craft was gone but you could smell melted tar from our roof. We then watched multiple crafts roam the sky the entire night. I do feel that if I had stayed outside longer when the red craft came down that I would have been taken. I am actually not sure if I lost time or actually was taken because the next thing I knew it was nearly midnight.

Around the intersection of Yelm highway and Henderson in Olympia WA there was a tubelike craft hovering or moving very slowly the object was SOLID black with a glowing blue globe shaped what I assume was the tail end this object then moved incredibly fast in a eastward direction until it was out of sight the object had no wings or propellers and when flying off moved faster then any aircraft I have ever seen

On Thursday, August 20th, 2020 around 9:05pm in Spokane Washington; My wife and I were outside sitting enjoying the night sky and having a cigarette, while looking upward at the stars, directly above my wife and I, a "V" shaped (not full triangle shape, V craft) object was flying by going westward coming from the east direction flying over our head(s). The object was almost invisible if you will. Blended in with the sky except for, as strange as it may sound, had a very feint see through brownish color to it that blended in with the night sky. Hard to explain but thats what caught my attention as it was flying byover us or i would of easily have missed it. Like a clear blurred wave destorting the scenery. I pointed at it so the wife would see it. We both were in awe. Trying to figure out what type of craft it was or I should say what it was exactly. No noise was heard from it. As to how high it was in the sky, thats hard to say. Best example i can give is If you held a full lenth #2 pencil up in the air with your arms stretched out and pencil held by fingers, showing from left to right, the length of the pencil, thats the width from left to right on the V shaped object or close to it. Using that, that should give an idea of height as well. It was moving pretty fast. Saw maybe 3 to 4 seconds of it. Pretty amazing actually. Just wish we could of seen it a bit longer for a better description. Thhough as stated, it was almost invisible.

Noticed a bright light traveling north to south, at first thought maybe low flying plane but it had no visible strobe lights. After about 3 or 4 seconds it appeared to drop a second light that slowly flickered out as it fell. A couple seconds after it dropped the light it completely disappeared. no clouds in the sky, perfectly clear night. never seen anything like that before, kinda odd...

My husband and I were enjoying the evening in our balcony. As I was looking up at the stars, I noticed what seemed to be a Chevron object, almost with a infrared glow, coming at a very fast rate. My husband quickly saw it. It made no noise and left no trail. I'm going to guess it was about 2,000 feet up. It moved past us and then we saw a ball of light and it was gone . I have been searching local sites since last night,in Hope's that someone else saw it as well.

Light coming from the south; light noticeably changing from red to turquoise, in longer than common intervals. As it got closer, it stopped, did a zig-zag move, and then continued Northbound for a minute, growing more clear yet so far away. Sudden stop and sharp right turn, west-northwest. I shined a strong flashlight to see if it was a drone, but it was too far.

Lynnwood, WA
I am 61 yrs old when this occurred. I have an M.S. in Information Systems Management and I work as an IT Project Manager for a large local employer, where I have worked for many years. Report – Occurrence on Aug 17, 2020 Lynnwood, Washington On the morning of Aug 17, 2020, at 12:31 am, I was awakened in my home in Lynnwood, WA, by a bright yellow-orange light shining into my upstairs bedroom window. The source of the light was spherical, self-illuminated, approximately 10-20% smaller than a full moon, but much, much brighter. It seemed like it was shining into my eyes – but it didn’t make me want to blink as it didn’t hurt my eyes. I stared at the object for about 8 seconds before it blinked out. The window faces west. The orb was stationary, at approximately 175-225 ft in the air depending on how far away it was. (I am estimating its elevation in comparison to the height of some tall conifer trees. It was near the top of one of those very tall trees. If the orb was farther away, then my elevation estimate is probably wrong. I kept looking out the window in case something else happened. A minute or two after the orb blinked out, my window was illuminated with a bright white light. I had blinds pulled down but angled open between each blind so that some light from the sky could come in, and I could see stars on a clear night. The bright white light illuminated the window for 10-12 seconds before it went out. I thought it might be someone’s (or even my own) motion-activated light. But the next day I realized that couldn’t be right because my motion-activated light is not nearly as bright and is set to stay on for 10 minutes. This light stayed on for 10-12 seconds, then went out, then came back on 4 or 5 minutes later, stayed on for 10-12 seconds again, then went out, then came on a third time, stayed on the same length of time, then went out again. When the window would light up, it looked like a glowing-white rectangle against a black background—almost like looking at a film negative. I kept watc! hing the window but the light didn’t come on again while I was watching. I didn’t get up to look out the window. I was a bit scared to do that as I didn’t want to attract any attention to myself. This time period where my window was being illuminated lasted about 20 minutes. I tried to go back to sleep but I tossed and turned and slept fitfully after this. There was a dog outside barking, coming from the same direction as where I saw the orb. It would bark for a while, go quiet, bark some more, and this intermittent barking kept waking me up. I felt like I finally went to sleep and then I was awakened by the dog barking crazily…more intense than before. I opened my eyes and there was that same orange-yellow orb again, in a slightly different position…a little bit north but still shining into my window. I was only able to look at it for about 1 second before it winked out. The way it winked out, it looked like it collapsed inward from the two vertical-ish ( ) sides, so that for a half-second I could see a vertical orange line before it went all the way out. I thought it was strange that as soon as I opened my eyes, there was that orb again, but only for a second. As if to say “Bu-bye!” I looked at my clock again and it was around 3:30-3:35 am.

They looked like faded stars. They would appear move extremely fast, change directions at times just stop. They were moving in all directions. some were heading north, south east and west. We saw basically 1 at a time. At one point we saw one take off and all of the sudden another appeared and went directly behind it. They flew in straight lines mostly but some would change directions and come to a dead stop. The sightings of them lasted approximately 10-15 seconds or until went under cloud cover. We noticed about 10:30 at night and quit watching around 1:30 am. We have observed many meteor showers, shooting stars and a few comets. Never have we seen anything like this. I am a 53 year old grocery worker. My boyfriend works construction and his niece is 7 years old. We are outdoorsmen. Hunt fish hike and camp. We have spent many times in our mountains. This was something neither of us could explain or have experienced.

Centralia, WA
To be honest, I don't believe it was an "Alien" type of UFO, just a UFO in the broadest sense. It is quite bright (2x brightness of Jupiter). The speed was very slow. Not a satellite, or plane/helicopter. Path was South to North, passing roughly 3 degrees over Moon. Possible unknown small comet, or asteroid? No visible "Tail" Lost sight after passing trees and buildings.

Over the last couple of nights I noticed again a number of large lights stationary in different sections of the sky over the north side and 7 mile, and 9 mile area of Spokane. Over the last three nights they have moved and then look stationary for the most part. To me it looks like a drone but fiully lit up very bright. I think they rotate but with my binoculars and spotting scope I can't get close enough to make a skilled judgment? last year I witnessed something similar over my area, little Spokane River down river for the Spokane country club about 2 miles. Last year though they were moving all over and it looked as if they were testing large drones at night? It also looked as if there is a docking station the other small drones come to. That was last year, those year the ones I'm seeing tonight seem to be moving really slow to the right but it takes hours. The lights are not high enough to be stars, not moving enough to be anything falling out of the sky, and they are definitely not flying around with any sort of speed. I looked up drones and they said that the police are using drones for the last couple of years to locate missing people and to solve crimes. These look like things that are simply being placed in the air each night and are watching/looking/monitoring something? I would just like to know what the hell they are? In addition, I'm almost positive there are smaller ones up higher or the same kind just higher than the ones below right out in front of my place at a lower elevation. If someone knows please respond.

It was around 9:30pm, and I was grilling some steaks on my patio. As I looked to the west just above the Olympic peninsula I noticed 3 red lights in a triangular formation, they appeared to be heading west and up into the sky. Soon after one light disappeared and the other two followed.

Montesano, WA
Date: 08/15/2020 03:35AM, Montesano, Washington Region Seven star-like objects transited the sky from west to east. The objects were brighter than the brightest star yet not as bright as the planet Venus in the night sky. The light emanating from the craft was whitish and did not flicker. Altitude uncertain but appeared to be greater than 1 mile high. The objects maintained a single file line but would change distance apart so not always equidistant one from the other. Speed was faster than passenger jet 1.5x to 2x. Lights went off sequentially as each light neared a certain point in the sky above Mt. Rainier. Sky was clear and light pollution minimal at time of sighting. Duration of sighting was approximately 1-2 minutes.

Me and a friend were headed to Arby’s on mountain Highway in Spanaway, WA as we are driving down 176th and approaching B st at the intersection there it’s a traffic light as well as we looked to the right we both screamed “Oh my god” we both saw what looked possibly like a mini stealth bomber or drone barely moving almost hovering about 100 to 159 feet off the ground. It was black really thin and had two or three lights on the bottom. It was about about 500 to 800 feet across I think I’m not good with guessing that type of stuff, but we were freaking out we looked at each other in disbelieve then when we looked back it just had disappeared in the trees. It was insane. I believe it was a military aircraft but what was it doing out there?

Walking along the sidewalk, and looked up at the sky to see four objects that looked similar to planes and would’ve been planes if they made a noise. they were flying too close to one another to be planes, and they weren’t birds because they, didn’t have wings and didn’t flap their wings. they slowly flew past a hill/mountain and disappeared

I observed a straight line of 10-15 lights that resembled stars, spaced evenly apart traveling towards the east. They then went out of sight near the moon and venus.

A perfect line of lights, 2 at a time with a small gap between each pair, moving west to east toward the crescent moon. About as fast as distant airplanes. Totally quiet, as bright as the stars nearby. About 20-30 degrees above the horizon. I have a photo! Seen from Eagle Cove, Cypress Island. Lost behind a hill.

While looking for meteors at 3am I observed a string of lights that looked like meteors at first but moved slower and in a string. One behind the other. Some appeared paired where others were single but all following in a line across the Northwestern sky. Seemed to come out of darkness (clear night) and returned behind darkness. The whole event lasted 15 - 20 seconds (estimate). I was too puzzled by what I saw I wasn’t timing it. Much too high to be planes. Perhaps satellites but never seen so many moving together in a string. No reasonable explanation yet. Have not seen any news reports yet either about this. First time I’ve EVER seen something like this and first time EVER reporting such a siting. Felt compelled to tell someone about it. Definitely not a dream.

8/13/20 - Husband and I were out in back yard watching meteor shower, when I noticed at about 11:20pm a somewhat bright star just sitting stationary in one spot. It looked like the other stars, a bright light, with a slight aura. Then it suddenly began to move down towards the horizon, moving faster and more easily than a plane or jet, not on an entirely straight path, wavering a bit as it did so. It did not leave any trails or make any sound. It then stopped, and began making little forays to the sides and up, then moved horizontally a ways north along the horizon, and stopped again. It then moved back south again a little way along the horizon, stopped, and started making little forays up, down, and to the sides, and that is when I came in to report it, at 11:35pm.

I bright white light came from the southeast 1/3 of the way across the sky. I thought it was a satellite, but my boyfriend said it was going way too fast and too high in the sky to be a satellite. As we watched the light stopped and reversed a short distance. Then it made what appeared to be an obtuse triangular path. Then shot off to the south and disappeared.

30 oval lights flying in 2 abreast trail formation. Objects observed flying at a speed and altitude similar to what would be seen watching the ISS flying at 45 degrees above the horizon. Observation was pure luck. I had been watching the meteorite shower for maybe 25 minutes when I started following a dull bright satellite across the sky from the south to the north, it flew almost directly overhead my location, as I watched it descending in the northern sky it was intersected by the path of the other objects flying from west to east
