Newport, WA
At 3:30 AM, April 22, my husband and I were watching the Lyrid meteor shower at our home in Newport, WA. Great place for stargazing with dark and clear skies. One of the “meteors” stopped dead, then took off in another direction, turned again, and again, then shot off out of sight. It was a bit like the pattern of a heartbeat on a monitor. We were pointing out the meteors to each other and then the conversation went like thi,s “Hey there’s another one... Wait... That’s not a meteor....”

Two of four witnesses were highly trained military officers. Orange circle appeared near Bootes constellation, at first thinking it could be Articurus. For 3+ hours, confirmed at multiple locations, the orange circle made abrupt course changes, varied speeds, was as distant as any star, and was first noted around 22:00 at approximately 101E in night sky.

King County, WA
We witnessed what appeared to be lights traveling evenly spaced. At first we thought satellites however the speed and number of them led us to question that. Looking for answers.

Newman Lake, WA
Unusual Light and Object Sighting at Newman Lake Washington The moon was in the 19% visible Waning Crescent Phase but there was no moonlight for the moon was covered by clouds. It was dark outside. There were no house lights on in our house or on the outside of our house. It was dark. However, our neighbors all had yard lights and outside house lights on. Our big dog was in the house with me. The perimeter of our property is all fenced with cattle panel fencing. The one gate adjacent to Starr Rd is padlocked so it cannot be opened without a key. On the south side of our house is a 10 acre flat cleared pasture, with one horse in it. My big bedroom window is on the south side of the house that looks out into the pasture. I woke up at 1:43 AM Sunday morning and looked out my bedroom window (of which I do often). I saw a wide band of subdued light. The band of light was shining west to east, parallel to the house. The light started on the west side at the small cattle shed and east to about 50 feet into our neighbor’s pasture. The band width of light on the south side began in the middle of the pasture and stopped about 500 feet from our house. On the south side of the band of light in the middle of the length of the band was a vertical object. It looked tall and slender and white like it was lite up. Our chain link fence that goes around our yard and orchard begins approximately 10 feet west of the bedroom window. On the corner steel post that faces the pasture was a round bright light on the top of the post on the east side of post. As with the band of light in the pasture, the light on the post did not move or dim. I stood still in the window for about 10 minutes, just analyzing what I was seeing. It was not poachers; it was not fog or car lights or a spotlight. There was no noise or movement anywhere. I decided to open my bedroom window so I could see the scene better. When you open the window, it makes a loud screeching noise. I opened the window and within seconds, zap, the band of light in the pasture and the light on the fence post were gone. Both lights left at the same time. There was no noise. It was very dark outside again. I stayed awake Sunday night to see if the light would come back, but it did not. I was the only one to see this strange occurrence.

College Place, WA
Saw a string of Stars evenly spaced out for about 30 minutes, could be 50+, they were in a staight line. towards the end the line was in a different part of the ski but going the same direction going north-east. toward the end the end of the 30 minutes the stars were not in line up perfectly. No noise, very high like a Satelite, Also saw a shooting star go across too. I do have a poor video

Seattle, WA
A few nights ago I noticed when I went out on my deck a very bright light which resembled a star from the Northwest side. It was a clear day & night so I figured it was just an extremely bright star. I watched it for over an hour which it was slowly going down until I could no longer see it behind the building next to us. I even showed my husband. Well, it’s back tonight right now. Same place, we’ve been watching it for about 10 minutes now, I decided to take a vid, you can see a plane pass by with blinking lights, the vid is a bit blurry since the thing is so bright. But you can see it doesn’t move & the plane does. I could be completely wrong & it could be a very bright star...I wish you all could see what we see instead of the vid, I have an iPhone XR I took the recording of. It’s still there if anyone reads this & wants to take a closer look maybe with a telescope which we don’t have.

Tumwater, WA
Me and my brother were outside in the front of his yard when a series of bright oval/small pill shaped UFO’s in a line formation spaced equally apart came from South heading NE in the Tumwater area of Olympia we even had time to get his wife. A few formed a strange triangle formation before continuing NE. They were in the sky within our site for about 15 - 20 minute. They were moving really fast We tried searching for who to call or report it too but don’t know how to go about that other than post it on here. Still trying to wrap my head around it

Mead, WA
13 miles north of Spokane WA in the village of Mead: Between 9:30 PM and 9:45 PM my wife and I observed over 30 satellites or something that flew over our house from WWS to NNE. It might have been a military flight but there were no marker lights and the speed and altitude seemed to be the same as other satellites we have seen over the years. We could not discern any shape as they appeared to be bright shiny satellites. We’ve never seen anything like that before.

Hey did you guys hear about strange white lights moving in formation? About 20min ago, tonight 9:45pm, I was in the backyard taking my rottweiler puppy out to go to the bathroom when I saw more than 10 small white lights (orb like)heading south in Kennewick, Wa. They were spaced apart in formation. Then were gone..couldnt track them. Got a picture. Couldnt get it on my phone for video....I dont know of any satellite that do that?

Gig Harbor, WA
Hello Mr. Davenport, At approximately 11 am Pacific 1800 GMT from our backyard in Gig Harbor, WA, we saw an object high and to the west reflecting silver in the sunlight. It appeared to be 50,000 ft+ MSL altitude and drifting from west to east. I assume it was somewhere over the southern Olympic Peninsula. I went into the house and got my camera with a telephoto lens and took a closer look and it revealed to be something like a high altitude research balloon. I am a professional pilot with 50+ years in commercial aviation and 17000 hours of flight time. I send this to you so as to give my opinion of what I saw in case you receive similar reports of this object in the sky. I look forward to your weekly reports on Coast to coast AM. But, I am a little bummed out in that I thought this was going to be my first ever UFO sighting. Best regards,

Snohomish, WA
We saw at least 30 single lights on the same flight path over Snohomish moving north. It was not a satellite link since they were staggered and spaced too far apart. It took 15-20 minutes for all the lights to pass over. There was also no sound and they were very high in the sky.

Wapato, WA
I was sitting in the hot tub, and a moving light caught my eye at 30 degrees elevation from my vantage point. Then I saw more of them following. They first were close to a few hundred yards, then as the string lengthened they became miles apart. It was ultimately like a string of white Christmas lights. No blinking. Solid white. I watched 20 or so, there may have been more before I noticed them. They moved about the speed of general airplane at around 3000-5000ft. I ran inside to get my night vision camera (sionyx aurora), I recorded another 30 or so pass by. They were on the same linear flight path, approximately moving from Mt. Adams towards Hanford. The last one in the string did a deviation from the path and went strait over the top of me moving swiftly, from when I saw him above south White Swan to where I could not see him over HWY 241, the distance is about 34 miles and he did it in about 60 seconds, the math of this equates to 2040mph. No sound. They! were simply bright lights in the sky, brighter than a star. My camera did not record though, which is embarrassing. Maybe I didn't hit the rec button correctly. There was commercial aviation, I saw 3 regular planes, 2 of which had near misses on their normal paths, I thought they were going to hit the crafts. I am a USN trained observer.

Washougal, WA
My husband and I along with two nearby neighbors noticed a string of lighted objects evenly spaced traveling through space. Planes were coming over our home on path to PDX these were higher than the planes. All moving at the same speed. We saw two large bright lights stationary with a red flashing light as well.

Union, WA
Approximately 30 solid lights that appeared to be stars crossed the sky from the Pacific coast toward Seattle. Most were in a straight line. A few were parallel. One came up a little further north, then stopped, while the others went by. At the end the one that had stopped and one I had not previously seen from the south, crossed the last one in line. No flashing lights, no headlights (there were a few clouds that would have shown them) no sound, no color. They moved faster than a plane.
