I was leaving to go to work at the Redmond Facebook VR facility when I observed several orb shaped objects flying separately then in a V formation while others went directly up at very high speed. I didn't report it at the time because I thought others would do so. My friend in London saw them and said I should report it.I got the time from the photo data. I always have my cameras set to geotag Some of the photos are enlargements of the original to show details but I couldn't send everything because of a 10 photo limit.

Me and my father were sitting in the hot tub relaxing when we saw 3 objects that looked like round fire balls appear in the sky going south west they were gaining elevation and traveling at a moderate pace they kept rising into the clouds then a fourth appeared and followed the same path Our first thought was flares but they kept getting higher in the air and the path they took seems to coordinated. I also have video of the sighting.

Object: At 21:34 PM, on December 26, 2019, I observed a large glowing orange orb surrounded by a light orange colored halo traveling in the night sky over land from Priest Point, Washington (just south of Tulalip Bay) north along the coastline to Warm Beach, Washington. Originally I thought the object was an aircraft but after watching it for two minutes, I realized that I couldn’t see any navigational or landing/take-off lights. I ran into my house, retrieved my binoculars, and was able to observe the object for at least five more seconds through the magnification of my 10X50 binoculars. The object was much closer by then to my location in the Seven Lakes area (Lake Goodwin). I could now clearly see this was not any kind of civil aircraft. The orange orb without binoculars (seen with the naked eye) appeared to be the size of a dime. Observed with the binoculars, the object was an orange ball encompassed with a lighter colored orange halo. No discernable features of any type of aircraft were present, including wings, tail, fuselage, exhaust, or any type of lights. The object was clearly not any type of civil aircraft. The object didn’t appear to traveling at great speed. It did appear to travel in a straight line at a constant moderate speed, with no discernable sound whatsoever.

Went out side to smoke a cigarette and notice bright red light flying over head....NO sound and slowing crossing to the SE. could quite make out shape but thought maybe perhaps a drone? Was large but lost sight and seemed to have atenna like objects hanging down....Just don't knw what it was byt again NO SOUND and very bright not markers like on a aircraft, but whole object was red.

Enumclaw, WA
Multiple lights were seen traveling across the night sky around 17:30. The lights appeared to be evenly spaced, and all moving in a straight line. The lights were high in the sky and almost looked like stars, but they were moving. None of the lights blinked or deviated from the line.

Appeared to be just another satellite sighting, but it was followed by another close by. Then a string of them could be seen, apparently all on identical trajectories. No shape other than a single point of white light - no collision lights. We saw numerous other aircraft each with their own collision lights at much lower altitudes. Easy to discern them from these unknown objects. It was one after the other all traveling from the SW heading over Portland then toward the NE where they entered a portion of the sky that was obscured by cloud cover and disappeared from view. They were spread quite a bit apart from each other but have no way of determining how close they were to each other in any measurable way. Wife saw them too. Never seen so many objects in the sky flying the same path.

I was looking out my window on stars, and I saw one triangular craft. It was a shaped like an isosceles triangle with white, bright lights on the tips. Right when I got my eye on it, it flew straight up. It might of put out a haze or smoke, but I'm not sure.

As I was driving across my employer’s parking lot at approximately 5 MPH (that is, quite slow, since there was a speed bump and it was dark) I noticed a very bright lime-like green light in my driver’s side visor area. Because of the overhang of the car roof over my head, I estimate I first saw it at about 145 degrees to vertical. There were three notably remarkable things about it: 1) Although I was only 1 ½ blocks from our tiny regional airport, it was going about 2 – 3 times as fast as even an airplane that was NOT landing, 2) it was shaped like an oblong with one end cut off, e.g. like a beach “boogie board”, with a darker area in the middle which seemed to be a stripe or stripes extending from the tip to the back, and 3) it wasn’t going toward the airport at all, but at right angles to it. If it had been an airplane, I’d have said it was flying quite a bit lower than normal flight—but then, I didn’ t know it’s size. Compared to the full moon up i! n the sky (not our recent harvest moon), it was about as big as ¾’s of a regular moon. Then after it zipped overhead (coincidentally in the direction my car was going) I followed it with my eyes, still trying to discern the stripe, and suddenly (very suddenly!) it disappeared. I didn’t hear any sound when it disappeared. My estimate is that is disappeared when 20 degrees above the horizon. I didn’t see any afterglow. I called a friend immediately afterwards, and that call is recorded as being at 7:32 pm. The visualization itself only lasted about 2 seconds. I was unable to discern from 911, the radio or my friend whether there had been a reported meteorite or whether others had seen what I saw. I haven’t read any internet reports yet because I didn’t want to prejudice my report .

I was viewing sky from my back porch, when I noticed a glowing orange orb located southwest of my backyard way off in the distance in the clear section of the sky, the glowing orb slowly dropped down while moving southwest, till it was out of my sight.

La Center, WA
Was on the phone looking out my back door when I noticed several bright stars in a straight line and evenly apart. Commenting to the person on the phone how strange that was so I stepped outside. I then noticed that these were traveling northeast. I was looking to see if they were coming from the west like I had seen other satellites do. These were dropping in one at a time straight overhead. Very bright as if twenty north stars following each other. To bright to be a traditional satellite I have seen before. Were these starlight satellites?

Woke up looking out window with open blinds in Redmond toward S/SW direction appx 0220. Very bright (appx 4x more than Venus) light emitting six to eleven rays (disputed between partners). Object moving up and down despite head of first viewer lying stationary on mattress. Woke up wife/ partner. Asked her to stand up and report what was seen outsode. Both viewed something never seen before. Both sober. Both viewed rays from object moving as if defying law pf gravity. Only white in color. Only watched for appx 30 minutes. Recorded with Iphone SE that fails to even observe branches in nearby trees at night. While another object flew closer rathet than further toward the initial object, its trajectory would not lead to a convergence. The latter (man made) object also appeared as closer to the viewers. Called friend to view as 3rd witness and left him a voicemail. He did not reply/listen to voicemail until next day. Recorded anyway.

I woke up around 11:45pm and noticed what I thought was a strobe light across the street, the lights collapsed into 6 large ovals that formed a triangle about 200 feet above the ground. The light formation quickly headed south east at a very high speed. I would say the triangle was about the size of a baseball field. I'm a wife and stay at home mom to 2 young children.

I went out for a walk at 5:50 AM PST and was surprised that it was a clear night sky, since I went to bed to heavy rain. As I walked south on our loop taking in the amazing stars, I saw what appeared to be 2 stars moving from my left to right – they appeared to be a similar distance apart as two stars in the big dipper handle. They were moving quite rapidly, and my initial assumption was that it was the space station but, then told myself there wouldn’t be two. I watched for about a minute and was going to run back to the house to wake my wife to see it… as I paused, I noticed a whole stream of similar lights following in somewhat equidistant distance but in a following formation. There were about 10 in total zooming from west to east. At this point, I ran in, woke up my wife and had her outside in less than 2 minutes hoping they were not gone… to my surprise, I saw the tail end of the original set, with a new set that were heading east in a slightly more northeast direction which were led by 4 lights and then another 6 or more trailing single file. They all moved from west to east and disappeared from sight because of the trees – we have tall trees in the neighborhood, so I would assume my viewing angle is about 40 degrees west to east.. There were no sounds and they were quite small like the space station – I watched as an airplane passed just minutes later and I could faintly hear the jet as it passed and the jet “light” footprint was larger than the unidentified lights. My initial thoughts… - I am up every morning for years and have never witnessed anything like this before, though I often see aircraft and hear them since SeaTac airport is about 40 miles north of us - There were 2 distinct sets of objects – the first moving east on a slight southerly tangent, the second which my wife also saw moving east on a slight northerly tangent - The distance between the objects was not consistent – it appeared if one would speed up to catch another but I never saw one move past the one in front of it; they were definitely a group and they were definitely trailing each other in a very organized fashion - They moved rapidly across the sky, similar to the international space station moves in relation to my view We live near JBLM and our initial thought was military aircraft… but 20 or more? That would be a lot of military craft. With no sound accompanying? With the ability at a distance to close the gaps between them in seconds?

I was in my vehicle driving to get gas. In front of me out of nowhere was this strange circle or ball or disk formation and was like i cant explain it. It came in front of me so fast , long enough for me to watch it because id never seen anything like it before. It moving very fast but not in a straight line. It hovered to its direction then it poofed gone like it exploded cause it disappeared but with like a black hole . But it was so fast. I do not know how far from me is not explainable.

I was watching the sky to the South-SouthWest around 4:15 AM on 11/22/19 and witnessed a circular craft with twinkling lights with multiple colors. It made short zig zagging patterns for about 20 minutes.

On 11/21/19 at about 6:30pm, I was driving north on I-5, just north of 236th exit 210, when a fireball shot across the sky moving east to west at about 40 degrees above the horizon. Yellowish orange in color, the fireball was much larger than a shooting star, it looked more like a close comet. Visible longer than a shooting star, and lasting probably 3-5 seconds, with a much wider trail, the arc trail across the sky was probably 1/4 of the horizon! Brake lights appeared on several other vehicles on the freeway. There was no sound related to the event. This is the first fireball I have ever seen, though I enjoy stargazing and have viewed many shooting stars and satellites.

Looking out my window, SW and roughly 70-90 degree's 'up', I noticed an odd Light in the sky. To the Eyes the light shined a more obvious wobble in vibrant Colors of Red and Blue with a golden white highlight in between the 'moving parts'. It was small, and brighter than any of the stars or moon. I should mention it was a clear night. It looked like a spinning diamond shaped top: perfectly symmetrical, with a stable center body, and the 'moving parts' looked like 3 or 4 red and blue balls spinning around it, cross from each other, and the angles of their 'orbit' were changing slightly, making it look like it was morphing a little bit. It moved slowly back and forth, and actually hung around for a while. I didn't see it leave, because sleep found me first. I Tried my best to focus on it with my phone [LG v20] The manual focus seemed to fit best around 96% on the slider [that's all it shows for scale]. it looked like it was maybe 100m away. I'm not sure what it was. This was around 12:30 am

I looked up in the sky as I usually do to look at stars, I noticed a light moving across the sky I pointed it out to my cousin and she noticed that there was another light moving with it at the same exact speed. I’ve never seen anything like it.
