Spokane, WA
Wow! At approx. 22:35hrs looking mostly N/NE in the nite-time sky as I sat in the outdoor seating area just outside the Spokane Convention Center did appear a black flash, off in the distance. Altitude of these events? Difficult to even guesstimate IMO at this point in time. And as best as I can describe these first time observable 'things' above. It reminded me almost instantly of footage of the Black Knight satellite. Being as it was THAT dark. Darker than dark. And the shape, dimensions of that (BK)/a craft/satellite. Peculiar thing about this area in the sky tonight off in the distance over N. Idaho is that prior, around 21:44hrs or so did appear in a very very quick evolving and decaying (mostly subdued in colour) a blue -flash!- and a fuzzy dark red dot. The dot remained static and stayed visible the longest. Approximately in the same area of the visible dark sky. This 'play' conjured up imagery I revisited on a recent train ride up the coast (West Coast). A truly bizarre scenario that played out (real-time, physical. Contact of the 4th Kind?) in one of the back alleys near the Steam Plant here (yr.2012-13) where in an area in the clear blue daytime sky 'slid open' like a door on rollers one afternoon just above a loading dock area. *on this revisit had to remind myself that Fairchild AFB is merely up the road from where this took place. Like that. Unmistakable 'fracture' of the very air, space around you. And then tonight, for whatever reason. That ever so dark shape. -flash!- or -pop!- into observable view, no visible 'light' flashing. Yet, how to describe objects and events not observed by me personally prior, and processed in THAT grouping is/was unknown territory to me. Visually acquainted now, going forward...

Beginning last nite say approx. 23:45hrs or so as I sat in the River Park Square park, taking in yet another clear, highly visible sky and as it and they go someway, somehow on or in a frequency! that has repeatedly (over the years) pinged me, "Hey Ry?" and always (varied, typically) directing my gauze to the area or direction that very specific, lowww frequency they utilize, and again last nite I mostly whipped my head to the right and upwards and 'flashy flash flashy floo' red, flash! a very distant appearing 'star' ...huh. and out loud in moi mind, "did ANYONE observing or on this freq. see that?" Whoa... And then not more than two more times a red flash! on two other 'star' appearing points in the nighttime sky. And two very very obvious, distinct blue, not so much a flash! and certainly not any prior observed transition in the darkness above ever observed by me prior. 'NEW!' Like an all of a sudden blue dot over that bright 'appearing star'. And then about at that point in time my mind went to one specific caveat about UAP's in their observable, operational wherewithal that they do, can, have and will position themselves in front of the viewable (from Terra Firma) star at whatever distance and essentially utilize that celestial object ( observable star- twinkle twinkle!) as in-flux camouflage (morphing) using the position in the sky and appearance to post up and observe. IMO. - Fin

While walking my dog at approximately 9:35 PM, I noticed a bright orange light above the tree line. My dog and I both watched the light grow larger as if it was coming toward us for approximately 1 to 2 minutes before it shrunk into a white light and disappeared. There were no sounds.

Large cigar shaped object. White or reflective in the sun. No visible control surfaces, no sound. I have an aviation background and can identify most civilian and military aircraft by shape and sound. First observed directly above my head as I looked up while in a seated position. Noticed the object, at first glance I thought it must be a plane as we’re in the landing flight path for a regional airport. But I noticed at a longer glance I could not identify it because it had no control surfaces. Not quite sure what to make of it I waited until it had passed my position trying to listen for the sound of the jet engine. It was dead silent. Total observed time was about 20 seconds. I grabbed my phone to take a picture but it had passed out of view going to the NW. I opened my flight radar app immediately and there was nothing transponding anywhere near me on radar. Details: - 8:28-8:29AM Sat Sept 9th 2023 - Not any identifiable aircraft to me - No flight surfaces of any kind - No sounds - Color white or silver - No visible lights - Estimated size, about the size of a 747 fuselage from my vantage point. Fight Characteristics: - Flying in a straight line at a steady speed - Heading: 308deg NW coming from the NE - Estimated altitude 2-5k feet - Estimated speed 250kph best guess - Not transponding via flight radar app (screenshot attached) Environmental Conditions: - Weather 58deg no clouds, visibility 17 miles wind at ground level 2mph from the North Barometric pressure: 30.14 inHG *Three images included. One of the flight radar app at the time. One from my observation point. One of the weather conditions at the time

Every morning when I wake up at 5, there is a very bright two ball object right in front of my window up in the sky about 4-5 k feet. I assumed it was a drone but it rotates with the earth so maybe it is a low satellite. But on this morn, there was a 2nd one to the SE. It was lighter, appeared suddenly, and had small white objects coming out of it, maybe 2-3. The small white objects were moving away from the larger two ball object.

I woke up around 4:15-4:25am to feed our cat. Went to shut a window my daughter left open since it was getting windy out. I look up to the right and see this light that I thought was possibly a plane or helicopter until I saw no other lights on the craft. Couldn't see the craft either as it is too dark out. But I told my daughter to look at it and tell me what she saw. She is skeptical but she did agree there were no other lights on the moving light just the one solid light moving at a steady pace high above the trees but definitely was not a satellite. I don't really know how else to explain it...

On 08/30/2023 at approx. 10:00 pm I noticed aircraft west of my house flying back and fourth from north to south. I was curious why they were doing that and told my wife about it. We went outside on our deck to take a look. The aircraft began to head east and passed by our house. They were flying only a few hundred feet above the ground and following each other. There were three aircraft in all. That is when I saw what I can only describe as a "UFO". I've never seen anything like this before. The lead aircraft was triangular. It had three green lights. One light on top and two below to form a triangle. I could not see the body of this aircraft. It was being followed by what appeared to be military jets. It was a full moon and I could see all the aircraft in the moonlight. The jet that was directly behind the "UFO" was flying dark. (no lights) I could see the silhouette of the darked out jet in the moonlight. It was following closely behind the UFO aircraft. There was a second jet flying with red flashing lights behind the darked out jet. Only the jets appeared to be making noise. They flew east over the horizon at slow speeds. The UFO appeared to be about half the size of the darked out jet that was following it. I've never seen a green triangle object flying before. A couple of minutes later we heard more jets approaching from the northwest. Two more military jets, with lights on, flew over our house and headed in the same direction as the other aircraft. One of the jets was shooting what appeared to be a spotlight at the forest trees. We live in the mountains. (Badger Mountain) We do not see Military aircraft excersizes in our area. People began to comment on the Badger Mountain Community Facebook page as soon as the aircraft left. On other person also mentioned that he saw the green light unidentifed flying object.

Port Angeles, WA
The cube that appeared to have landed high in the mountain above IBC Church in port Angeles was immediately followed by huge spotlights scanning the mountainside. I smelled the smoke for about 2-3 minutes after I saw the object and there was lots of activity where it appeared to have landed. Lots of lights and despite the activity it was so quiet it was nerve wracking. I’m not one to believe in UFO sightings but I know what I saw and it wasn’t normal every day occurrence. I hope I’m not the only one who witnessed this.

I was traveling South bound on US 95 headed from Seattle to Phoenix Arizona. At around 02:07 AM i saw two very bright lights turn on and pull out from what I assumed was the side of the road. At first I assumed they were motorcycles as the light was around the right high and was definitely similar to a headlight. It seemed odd how fast the lights were catching up to me was I was traveling 70mph not mentioned the more I looked the more off the placemat of the lights seems. I looked back at the road then checked my rear view mirror only to see the two orbs a even faster and closed the gap between me and them about half way in a matter of seconds. It was after watching them for no more than three seconds that one light was turned off, sort of fading similar to an old fluorescent light bulb with the other following suit. After it was pitch black behind me, dark enough to make out any break lights or Evidence of a vehicle or anything turbo around( there was no streetlights or light pollution for miles). This happened 2 hrs after seeing two crafts while traveling SE on Highway 78 in Oregon. I had one red light follow me for a few seconds then fade away (the light never shrunk as one would expect when traveling in the opposite direction of a light source), I then pulled over and stopped my vehicle and shut it off, killing the lights to see what was following and looked up to my left and saw to very large perfectly shaped cigar objects that blocked out a very sizable portion of the night sky. Again the moon was not out at this time and this there was no light pollution, and I couldn’t make out any identifying features of a cloud (I know it was pitch black but with the starry backdrop it would have been easy to tell the difference). After seeing the craft I looked down at my truck’s display to get the time and it felt like time stood still, I hadn’t lost time per day but I definitely didn’t move forward through it either it was almost like time stopped but I was able to keep driving. I will mention something eerily similar happened to my mother in law traveling along the same route in the opposite direction, like me she was alone.

My buddy and I we’re leaving the gym at night when I looked at the moon. I noticed a flashing light next to the moon. It was twinkling like a star, but it was too bright, and then too dark to be a star. [NUFORC annotation: Planet/Star - Possible]

Always thought it was cool. On my way home from my sisters house. I live at the Canadian border in Blaine. Zero cool anymore. It’s like taking a super bright blue LED light then it turns into two.

While driving on 104th st e, I was headed towards south hill mall when I saw a glowing orb hovering to my left, it hovered for a while then descended downwards, I lost sight of it behind some trees. Made no noise and seemed to flicker or be continuously turning. Looked pretty high up I have video footage.

Colville, WA
While star gazing as i do from time to time when I am unable to sleep I had been looking east to South to West ignoring the north. After several minutes I felt I had neglected the North for awhile. And honestly it almost felt like i was being watched. Upon looking north I saw what I initially thought was a flicker of light however within a second I realized it was something else. As I lifted my bino’s up I watched the light transisition into a disk shaped object. When viewed through binoculars I saw a glimmer or some sort of shifting movement maybe. I watched it briefly in shock both with the bino’s and with unassisted eye. It appeared stationary over the mountain approximately 100 feet above the “C” and almost centered over the cross. From my perspective the height could be off as my perspective in the dark was relational. The light started as a small size of about 2-3 feet. However upon closer examination I realized it was indeed a disk shaped object. The disk appeared to be 50-75 feet wide and maybe 15 feet tall. The disk initially was translucent and slowly appeared to be solidifying. It went from shimmering to being a solid object over a couple of seconds. When I realized what it was I thought to myself to get a picture and as I had the thought I removed the bino’s and unlocked my phone for a picture. It then shifted back and forth in place stationary and as I was opening the cam app it flashed away very quickly.

Hi my name is (name deleted) I live in a small town of Forks Washington tonight 09/15/2023 at approximately 10:40pm it was a completely clear night here as I was standing out in my driveway with my mother we were looking up at the stars in the sky as we focus more clearly we were following certain stars that’s we’re moving like we have seen a bunch of times. I locked onto one and was following it trying to show my mom. Out of nowhere for a split second I seen something I can only describe as a gray sphere with two wings no lights no sound but a bright gray color shooting across the sky heading north my eyes barely caught it and the hair on my arms stood up and my mom yells out WHAT WAS THAT! Not a bat not a plane not a drone what did I see? It was too big to be anything like that, jumping across the sky and it wasn’t glowing but you could see the bright gray I can’t believe my eyes. I ran into the house as fast as I could to draw a sketch and ask my mom if that is what she seen. She confirmed that she seen it as well. Investigator interviewed the witness for twenty-five minutes on August 21st, 2023 at 16:44 hours. Sighting lasted for a few seconds. Location is a rural home surrounded by trees with large flat fields half a mile east of property. Extensive fields provide an open area for launching unmanned vehicles. Trees surrounding the witness property block seeing the fields. Witness said the altitude of the reported object was 200 feet. The distance from the witness was two football fields away. He described the object as a sphere with wings and its color gray. Sighting made no sound. Object’s size is 5 to 6’ by 4’. Witness said it's the size as the tire on a monster truck. Object had no windows or portals. The recreational drone market has expanded with drones looking like military aircraft. Witness sketch looks like a MQ-9 Reaper military drone. Recreational drones may look like stealth bombers and unique drone hybrids, such as the JJRC MO2 can fly like a drone, or fly in a different mode, the remote control plane mode. Operator can steer JJRC to float like a kite. The JJRC has those three flying modes. Video of the JJRC showed an extremely fast drone. It disappears in seconds. RC planes, also known as remote control planes, may appear by witnesses as drones, and they are quiet unlike drones. Because of the object’s low altitude and smaller than aircraft dimensions, the object is a hybrid drone or remote controlled unmanned plane similar to the JJRC. [NUFORC annotation: Drone - Probable]

This is creeping me out. Second time in 3 weeks I’ve watched “stars” move. Tonight star gazing on my deck. Saw a flash out of my left peripheral vision, thought maybe it was a late perseid meteor. Looked to the area and saw what i thought was a star, until the damn thing started moving. It was at about my 10oclock, went kind of down to the right then in an upside down arch like a smile, kind of down, over and up to about 2 o’clock, then faded away by the bottom of the Big Dipper. It was moving damn fast and scared the crap out of me. Not an international flight, as I see them regularly and know what they look like. This was WAY up high, fast and freaky. There’s a bunch of light pollution to my north, where I lost sight of it.

I am an experiencer. I have had regular sightings since 2009 and several previous close encounters so this didn't really scare too much although it was strange. I was out walking the dogs and I see a white light orb type silently flying from west to east Olympia as it approaches the airplane lane going North/South it blinks off and on a couple times then shrinks down to a pinpoint and vanishes. Then about ten minutes later as I'm walking back to the house through a parking lot I turn around and see a large pulsing orange light. It is not blinking like a airplane light it is getting big and bright then shrinking and dimming but not going out completely. It is coming closer toward me and I notice that the orange light looks like a giant spotlight that is rotating in all directions around a black sphere or egg shaped craft. The craft itself was so dark like vantam black reflecting absolutely no light. The thing continues to get closer it slows down and speeds up, as the orange light moves around like an eye, seemingly searching for something on the ground. As usual, the object made no noise. I waved my hands and step forward and say 'here i am' but it ignores me and flies off in a North Easterly direction. Just as I lost sight of it, a giant orange fireball tears across the sky in the same area I had just lost sight of the craft. I assumed it was a meteor but not like any meteor i've ever seen before.

Chewelah, WA
I got up early around 3:45 am to watch the meteor shower. I was out for 45 minutes and saw approx. 12 meteors and 2 LEO satellites. About 4 am looking north, I saw in a ball of bright white light rising straight up in the sky. At first I thought it was another satellite but as it was rising it turned amber/brown then deep red and finally just faded out or blinked out. I'm 61 years old and have seen many meteors and satellites, planes and drones but never anything like this. For the record, there is an airport north of Chewelah. But again, this was no airplane. I may have seen a ufo a long time ago when I was a kid with my family but don't really remember. I've always wanted to see one and am a big fan of Peter Davenport. I remember hearing him on Art Bell years ago and wondered if he was still manning the reporting hotline. I had no missing time and I know it's not much of a sighting but for me it's a big deal. Thanks for all the hard work you do. Keep up the good work! Ps If you have any other questions feel free to contact me anytime.

There was two discs traveling side by side and barely visual lights. The second was a triangular shape with 3 green lights on each point. They were moving faster than a plan but stayed close enough in the atmosphere for us to see each sighting for about 20-30 seconds. Craziest experience for all 3 of us by far.

V rural location. Monday 8/7/23 weird light to west, maybe 930 pm +/-, party 1 thinks it’s a rig coming but then a few minutes later realizes nothing went by. V bright, single light, kind of slowly pulses, goes away for awhile, comes back, sometimes orange-ish. We watch through back window for maybe 10, then one party goes to see what it is, thinking maybe people spotlighting coyotes. Fades out when starts pickup. No weird tracks/vehicles/anything when he goes down there, drives a ways and doesn’t see anything. Friday 8/12 to west out bedroom window maybe around 1030, looks like it’s above neighbor shop but to north. Too big to be a star, bright, orangish. Kind of hovers and slightly moves around but stays generally in the same place. Almost seems like it has a crescent shape, oriented w/concave upward, at beginning but could have been glare from window. Stays for about 20-30 min, no real change so eventually go to bed. One party steps outside but doesn’t hear anything. One party doesn’t think this one is as weird. Need to ask Jeff neighbors if they have a drone. 8/15 same thing but started out smaller/further away? Not crescent shape at beginning. Around 1140. Eventually go to bed again, didn’t wake up second party. Still haven’t caught up w Neighbors 8/16 Neighbors don’t have drone 8/18 around 1050pm, light starts off “lower” and kind of off se corner of shed (but I think it’s further away). Watch it for about an hour and a half before going to bed. Hovers around, kind of zips back and forth up and down, but overall makes its way higher and further to south. By time I go to bed looks like it’s up “above” power line and over south of lot. Went outside, no noise. Looked at it through binoculars outside, orangish color seems to be coming from a bunch of orange lights around outside of shape. Inside is more muted color and looks wavy. Hard to get binos to focus really great on it, or it was too far away for them to focus well. Movements back/forth and up/down easy to see through binos. Dogs unbothered. May have been a second one higher up/further away off to north but honestly didn’t notice it til maybe 1230 and was too tired to watch it for too long. Pictures are extremely underwhelming, but I guess upside is that they are obviously not a star.

The first night I just saw stars or what look like stars flying around and playing with each other all around the sky the second night they did the same thing only they would actually join with each other become brighter than separate and go their own ways they also joined to make a triangle in fluid all around the sky as a triangle with three points of light you can see them with the naked eye even though they have some type of cloaking device each one of them has a tiny faint Little Star looking like light inside of it with the right lighting conditions you can see them very good whether it's clear sky cloudy sky day or night they a cube shaped object the second night as they're flying around over my house they must have knew I was aware of them because they sent the black small cube down from the sky it flew about 20 ft in the air from the ground in about 25 ft in front of me it crossed over my backyard my neighbor's backyard up through the trees and back up into the sky to where I couldn't see it any longer because of its size each day I see more and more in the skies and the last two days I've noticed much bigger ones have showed up I've also video tape the sky's day and night and I have screenshot of what I have captured I have a very good screenshot of one of the crafts during the day which looks absolutely like nothing I've ever seen and I also have a lot of footage at night that shows the anomalies as well this has gone on day and night for 17 days now if you're able to come to my house I can show you easily if not I understand but at least go out and look up at the sky you will notice that if it's a clear blue sky and it's night time they will look like black little bubbles in the sky with a tiny faint star in the middle of it there's much more to say but not enough room here in this space for text

I was looking up at the sky to the west about 1am aug 9 2023 and saw a quick 1 second white flash. If you were to hold a dime in outstretched in your fingers towards the sky thats how big it was, followed by am immediate bang right after. It didnt look to be caused by a meator as there was no shooting trail. So i decided to prop my phone up on hyperlapse pointing at that area of the sky. On hyperlapse 1 second in the video is equal to 15 seconds real time, so this 29 second video is actually just under 9 minutes real time. Upon watching the video playback at 14 seconds in something not in the sky caught my eye if you look mid center of the video u'll see something quickly flash. Zoom in and manually progress the video slowly from 13sec to 15sec and you see what is the puget sound something bright possibly hot or on fire appear above reflecting its glow off the water then submerg. The 1 second that it appears on video is actually 15 seconds real time that this object glided down into the water. The locatiin it went into water, I mapped the distance from me at about 3.3miles. Making whatever it was around the size of a semi with trailer. The only land near is Anderson Island home to the now abandoned prison. It was about 5 minutes after i saw the flash and bang before that object went in the water and a meteorite that size would of been visible whole way down and made a loud sound even from my viewpoint. Ive looked online and found nothing anywhere referencing this event ive also included a daytime photo next to the night shot of the object circled of the area it went down.

Sitting with my grandchild on the front porch. Pointing out various stars, planets and aircraft. I pointed out what I thought was a satellite. He wanted to know what satellites do and we started talking. He says Papa it’s moving around. I look back up and this object is moving around with crazy vector thrust making 90 degree turns. It lasted about 15 seconds and then went behind a cloud. Waited for the cloud to pass but nothing else was observed

I've seen them before and so I've been having my wife go out on the deck with me, and we seen 2 low flying triangle shaped objects, traveling very, very slowly for about 2-3 minutes and were out of view.
