While watching an overhead aircraft making its way from east to west, I saw a perfectly round silver metallic object pacing it . The object (UFO) was going at the exact speed of the aircraft, it was located slightly off the planes right side.... as I was looking up at it. There were fluffy clouds in the sky, and the plane and ufo were above them. The plane was not so high as to cause a vapor trail or exhaust. The round ufo was perfectly round, like a perfect drop of water. It had depth to it, like a perfect drop of water. I did video this with my phone, but its blurry, fuzzy and useless.

The best description i can give is that it looked very much like a transluescent glowing worm. It had slight segments with lights in between each segment. I guestimate 6 stories above us as my apartment is 2 stories high. It moved/hovered slowly over us. It did not wriggle, it simply floated as though it were in an air current. Then it completely disappeared with lights out. In the past i have looked up in the n8ght sky & focused on a random star only to see that very star shoot off from a stationary position & leave a slight light trail. This current ufo did not do that. It was simply lights off. I'm beginning to think they know when they are being looked at...

I stepped outside looked up when I noticed what looked like a satellite coming from the west. It seemed to move a bit faster than a usual satellite and a little brighter. My first thought was it was in a low orbit. As it passed over head it quickly faded out as it moved into the shadow of the earth. A few minutes later I saw another one just like the first coming what seemed to be on the same trajectory fading out in the same position. It was then I saw others flying equidistant from one another on the same trajectory as the first. You could see two to three at any one time something like C17s flying in a strait line. This continued for about 10-15 minutes. I had been watching for a while before I got my old iphone noted the time and tried to take a picture which yeilded nothing. The date is a close estimation. I first tried to report the sighting a few days later but my computer was continuously Tying s like someone was holding down the key i.e. s! sssssssssssssssssssss. If anybody else saw this it would be interesting to know.

My husband and I were outside, I looked up and pointed out some satellite looking objects moving in one direction. We then noticed that there was way more than just one, we observed approximately 20-30 of these lights traveling in a perfectly spaced distance from each other and going northeast. This lasted for 3-4 minutes. It ended by the last light traveling across and disappearing like the rest.

A Commercial plane flies past with a ufo pacing it perfectly, it was matching its speed and height, is was about 200 feet behind and down just a bit, as to avoid the turbulence from the commercial flight. We watched and there was some background clouds coming up so we could see if this ufo was just some sort of engine wash image but the ufo shape and form did not change as the cloud - which was white- sharpened the ufos image as we watched, we didn’t have our phones - so no image. We watched as they flew to the east and we couldn’t see them anymore. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and she sounded to us to be quite capable and sober-minded. She is quite eloquent in her description of the sighting, and she holds a very responsible job. PD

Im assuming they were large drones. You could hear the closest one. They would fly so far then circle back around. It kept doing that as it kept moving forward...like they were monitoring or mapping. The other next closest one was doing the same. They all had the same lights on them as you would expect on a small aircraft. You could see the others in the distance spread out from each other. One response to my daughters post said they were star link satellites, but these were not those. These were much lower and you could hear the whirring sound of the propellers from the one that was closest. Tried to find out any info or postings on it...but nothing. Just curious who’s drones they are and what the purpose was deploying them at that time of night. Not sure when they started. I just noticed them when I went outside around 11:15/11:30 last night.

The object was seen flying from a westerly direction to the southeast. A very bright strobe light came on then off for short burst three times in a row, this was seen through my skylight. I jumped out of bed to my deck which directly off the bedroom, within three seconds nothing could be seen or heard. clear to very high thin clouds at time of the event.

So I was having trouble sleeping this night at about 1:22am I decide I would go smoke a bowl to help me sleep. Well when I walked out of my room I noticed the whole house was being filled with red and blue light that was breathing. My first reaction was it was ambulance or police lights as I have family from my age to very elderly all along my street and across the street. When I walked out he door I couldn’t believe my eyes it was an absolutely flawless flying saucer as a metalworker I couldn’t see 1 flaw. My first reaction was to get a picture or video but my camera on my iPhone would focus and it looks like a shitty picture of police light. When I tried to get a video my phone keep bouncing back to picture and after 5 attempts I got a message saying video feature not accessible. Which I have never seen before or since on a iPhone. At this point I put away my phone and it was 1:48am So I forgot to Mention this in my mufon report but I sent a thought at the craft asking to take me on board and show me if there’s a hollow earth or land beyond the ice wall of Antarctica. The thought that came back still give me chills. Immediately I got a thought not in my voice saying “I we did that you would have to agree to be are slave for he rest of your life. You would never be able to see your family and friends. I replied with a loud Fuck That! And was half way in the front door when I looked back at it and thought when is the next time I’ll see one of these and decided to watch it untell it left. Now I know I didn’t stay out there for a hour and a half at max 10 mins but next thing I knew the craft was gone and it was 3:24am when I pulled out my phone.

My husband and I smoke outside on our balcony. Recently we have been observing what looks like flying stars in the sky above our home. We usually witness several of these every few nights while smoking. This morning we got up together and went to have a cigarette and we counted over 21 of these flying stars. They move faster than regular air craft, change speeds and change trajectory independent from one another. There are no noises coming from these craft. According to

As it went over head, we listened for airplane sound and never heard any, even after it had completely disappeared to our NW. As it went over, it was clear that it was higher in the sky than we first thought – maybe 10,000’ or more. We get Seattle air traffic here regularly, and they are at 30,000’ as they go over and we can easily hear them. After it passed, it grew dimmer, much faster than when it was coming at us. It was very bright the whole time it was coming at us, but as it passed, it was darker like it was the back of whatever was causing the light. We speculated that it might have been a satellite burning up, but I don’t think they travel SE-NW. We also thought it might be a meteor burning (which would explain the glow around it) but it never appeared to have a tail or burning debris falling off. Amazingly, it appeared to be traveling in a very straight line. It disappeared over the mountains to our NW, somewhat south of Wenatchee. The whole duration of the event was probably only about a minute. Our time of the event will be pretty accurate, because I immediately went into the house and called my brother. The phone recorded my call time. I am a retired Army officer and a retired school counselor, and my friend is still working with irrigation water equipment. To us, it was a UFO – unidentified flying object – because we couldn’t identify it. We are sure it wasn’t a plane – jet or prop – or a local drone, because we never heard a sound out of it. Our best guess is a meteor, but it certainly wasn’t like any other we had seen.

About 4:15 in the morning on May 1rst I was outside with my dog and saw what looked like two identical satellites that were about as bright as a 1rst magnitude star moving out of the WNW sky . They both were moving one behind the other in straight line about 10 degrees apart and continued crossing the sky maintaining the same distance apart as they traveled towards the ESE . I went back in the house thinking how weird that was and about 10 minutes later when I looked out the window I saw two more lights moving in the same exact path as before . I know it's impossible for a satellite to circle the Earth in ten minutes so I ran back outside to see what was going on , only this time new satellites kept appearing one after the other all in a perfectly straight line and all equally spaced until there were six of them moving out of the WNW passing close to Arcturus coming nearly overhead then dimming out one by one in ESE sky .They each took several minutes to fly! by . There was no noise . I've an amateur astronomer for about 45 years and have never seen anything like this before . What were they ?

For your information; Fast moving circular clouds (caused by moist air being compressed by very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic radio waves emitted from land based naval radio stations to submarines at sea) are sometimes mistaken as UFOs.

After a second I realized that the light hadn’t moved at all because it was actually a star and what was moving were the two dimmer lights tracking in a southeast direction at airliner speed. I’ve been hearing about the Space X star link satellites and looked for other lights moving in conjunction with these two lights but only saw the two lights moving across the sky. The two lights were spaced at approximately 15 degrees apart and continued in an east/southeast direction for about 15-20 seconds until I lost sight of them due to the trees. I did not hear any sounds of an engine nor did I see any red flashing lights to indicate these objects might have been some type of known aircraft. I also did not see any pulsating from the lights on the objects while I observed their flight. The lights were far enough away that I wasn’t able to distinguish the shape of the objects. Observer background: Male in late 20’s who has attended 2 UFO Summits at Ocean Shores WA. Heard Peter Davenport speak in March 2020 at Summit. Frequent listener to Coast to Coast AM. Have made one previous report to MUFON in 2019 for light sighting in the eastern sky over back yard.

Redmond, WA
Last night (April 30) my wife and I observed a peculiar occurrence in the sky. We live a few miles east of Redmond WA. We decided to spend some time in our hot tub, and about 9:20 PM my wife went in first. When I joined her about 5 minutes later, she said she was seeing something strange in the sky, namely a series of moving lights. These were points of light about the brightness of a 3- or 4-magnitude star, moving one after another in a straight line from northwest to southeast, evenly spaced, moving at the same speed, and apparently quite high up. From our position the line or track initially led directly toward the star Arcturus, but slowly shifted westward a few degrees. From our deck we could see the track for about a quarter of the sky, from the eave of our house directly overhead to some trees on the edge of our property. An individual light took 30 or 40 seconds to traverse this interval, and a new one would appear before the previous one had disappeared. My wife said she had already seen perhaps a dozen when I came out, and together we witnessed maybe 20 or 30 more. After about 15 minutes, clouds moved in, lit by the quarter moon high in the west, and obscured our vision. We frequently see aircraft while in the hot tub, most commonly flying east to west, at no great height, and showing some typical combination of white, red and green lights. But the lights we saw last night were nothing like this. (In fact, we only saw one other aircraft during this interval, flying up from the south at moderate altitude and passing to the southeast. Even it was a bit atypical, having only two bright yellowish-white lights like car headlights.) My first thought was that we were seeing some military transport, but the sheer number of lights seemingly makes this explanation unlikely. In summary, I have been watching the sky my whole life, and have never witnessed anything like this event. My wife was a bit unnerved. Any insight you can ! provide would be most appreciated.

Was walking along Columbia River Drive, along the Columbia River, in Vancouver, WA. (Portland, OR is across the river) Headed east, around 5:30pm today on 4/30/20. Noticed 4 hawks circling, also many planes from nearby PDX. While looking at the hawks, I noticed 10-20 white, golf-ball like orbs zooming around each other in a swarm. They looked small, but were about plane elevation, so they must be much bigger in actuality. It was a mostly clear day, with only a few clouds. I asked my daughter to confirm what I saw, & she saw them as well. It really freaked her out. I tried to video, but they were too small to pick up on her phone. They were white, but very bright, possibly metallic. They did seem to shift from white to metallic. Like they were half & half? After a few minutes of watching, they all vanished a few at a time, or became invisible, until they were all gone. It lasted about 5 minutes all together. They seemed much too agile to be drones. Watched the skies for a long time afterwards, but they didn't reappear. I have seen what looks very similar captured on video after looking into this, but no definitive identification for them that I'm aware of.

Last night we were outside and saw an object moving across the sky. The object was visable for 30 seconds then disappeared. It was followed immediately by another and another. All flew into the same area and disappeared. They came at 15 second intervals. There was no flashing light or colors. There was no sound.

Walked out side looking up at the night sky and thought to myself, wow there’s a lot of stars tonight. Well then I realized that one of the stars was moving then shoot up till it disappeared. Then noticed another so the same. Then notice one over the house, not right over up in the sky but oddly moved and the up till it faded. Then noticed about 5 in a row coming from the East then all did the same. Had my wife and daughter come out to see.

At 10;40 pm PDT I saw a light that looked like a star (a background star, not bright like Venus) moving from west to east – as I continued to watch, another light came from the same spot in the sky and started to glide east as well. Over the course of about 15 minutes, I saw over two dozen (I stopped counting at 16) of what looked like a star, not a bright star, just a background star, coming from the same spot in the western sky and moving in different directions. The lights were not evenly spaced when they arrived, sometimes one would appear soon after the one before. They each had their own course and eventually had spread out in a spoke-like pattern, going north, east and south. They were all going the same speed, fairly slow. The yellowish light did not change or dim, there was no blinking or colored lights. They appeared to be within our atmosphere, like a high plane. I just happened to be looking in the right place. Anyone glancing at the sky would! think it was a star, it moved slowly and it took me a minute to confirm that these particular stars were actually moving. They each stayed in a linear direction, no turns or movement other than gliding in a line like spokes. It was like a clown-car, they just continued to emerge from the same spot in the sky. Eventually, they stopped emerging.

Huge flash of light beamed out of sky into my woods. Noticed it from inside my cabin. Ran outside and the light did not appear to have a source above it. Similar to lights shown from helicopters. l, however, absolutely no sounds in the sky. Absolutely silent. This light was extremely bright. Then, shut off and disappeared.

translucent white bird or plane-shaped craft, could clearly see a massive curved set of wings and a body, flying well above normal cruising altitude for birds, completely silent, flying from west to east across the lake. Gliding semi-slowly.

On April 25th, 2020, I was on my porch facing west admiring the sunset at 8:27pm. I noticed approximately 45 degrees above the Olympics and perhaps about 1 mile or so away (from my vantage point) a flashing light. The light was white and flashed every second with a 2 flash burst approximately every 5 seconds or so. At first I just assumed it was a civilian aircraft headed in my direction but it was stationary. I then assumed it was a helicopter. But the light didn't seem to match any civilian navigation lighting pattern I was familiar with. So I went inside and grabbed my binoculars. With the binoculars I could just vaguely make out a cylindrical black object. No tail or wing structure that I could discern. After a couple of minutes a civilian airplane came into view and when it did, this object started moving in a fairly quick pace to the North, and then switched course and started moving to the south. It was still plainly in view this entire time. At around 8:33pm this object suddenly moved very rapidly downward or at least out of my view and below the tree line where I lost all visual contact. The flashing white light was no longer there, simply a small red light as it made its way out of view. I am a huge aviation buff and can recognize numerous commercial and civil aircraft. This was none of those. This was a true UFO. It was Unidentified, Flying and some sort of physical Object. It's possible (I cannot rule it out) it was a drone but I don't get that feeling. It seemed to be larger than a drone.

Camping out on Lake Wenatchee, we were stargazing when we saw a line of lights appear from outside of the stars facing South-East just after 10 pm, left of Venus. The cascade of lights was nearly eight inches long from our perspective. The line of lights then quickly faded from both sides into the night, like the light was shining off of the edge of a disc. There were no sounds or following phenomenon. After looking up comets, meteor showers and anticipated reports of visuals in this area, we could not find evidence of this happening before.
