Yakima, WA
I went out to my car from from work for a quick break. I was walking back inside at around 0514. Looked up at the satrs as I do most nights that I'm outside. So I know generally where the stars are located at what times. It looked as if there were more stars than usual this morning. Very bright white. Seemed as if 2 bright white lights side by side but connected. But glowing round. Thinking dang thats a bright star. But seemed about the right size and distance. Then it started moving east or northeast I believe. About the speed of a 20-40 passenger craft. A bit slower maybe. Then sped up to much faster than a prop plane. Then seemingly changed from 2 bright white lights to one glowing firery rust orange ball of light that zoomed farther away and then straight up to where I could faintly see because of its altitude, and then seemed to evaporate almost. Then nothing. No sound throughout this ordeal. Ive seen plenty of planes and jets at night. Plenty of stars.! Plenty of sattelites growing up on a lake in the Forrest. This was none of those.

While sitting on the couch, I glanced up and saw a bright circular light flash past the window about 100 ft away. For a split second, I thought it was a plane, but it was too close and traveling too fast, and the light was not like an airplane light but like a ball of electricity. Then I thought it must have been a meteor, but we live in the middle of the woods and I don’t have a clear view of the night sky in the area where this shot past. Whatever it was, it traveled through our woods. I muted the tv because it was shooting so fast in a downward fashion that I fully expected to hear a crash—but heard no sound at all.

I woke up, saw a glowing red light throughout my room. Looked like it was coming from my under my bed. I heard a humming, zooming, sound. I woke up my husband, but he just turned and fell back to sleep. I turned the other way and fell back to sleep. Last time I saw this light, it was on Holiday Park on Mc Chord AFB, campsite 5 and 3, just last year in 2018.

Port Orchard, WA
On a clear evening, Big Dipper was very clear, my Dad and I were sitting around a campfire. He was sitting next to me and said “look” in a surprised and alarmed voice. I was looking down but looked up and saw a very huge formation of triangles. At first it resembled a flock of geese but immediately new that was wrong. It resemble a flock of geese because of it’s ‘V’ formation and the distance between the triangles was similar to the distance between geese. The size was amazing. If I extend my arm and extend my hand it nearly took up my entire hand. There were 5 or 6 triangles on the left part of the ‘V’ and 5 or 6 on the other right hand part. Over to the right was another ‘V’ shape but further away or at a different angle. We only saw this object for 2-3 seconds. It was flying from east to west, almost directly over our heads.. Each triangle was the same shape and size. The size of each one is difficult to determine. I drive to Seattle Tacoma International airport frequently and when I see an airplane in the pattern I put my hand up in front of me to try to gauge the size in comparison. All the aircraft around Sea Tac appear to be small compared to these triangles. Both my Dad and I seemed to think the object was very high in the sky. My estimate is that each triangle was the size of 2-4 large aircraft nose to tail. Each triangle was perpendicular to the earth. The entire formation moved as one and traveled sideways. Each triangle appeared to be separate. There was nothing visible that connected them. There was no apparent indication of movement. There was no sound. It seemed to move with great speed. From the time we first spotted it to when it left our field of vision was 3 seconds top. We could see it getting smaller as it flew towards the Olympic Mountains. We think it flew out of our sight. If so the speed would be incredible. We regularly see jets flying towards the north end of the mountains on their way to Asia. We see these aircraft for more than a minute. Port Orchard is approximately 30 miles from Sea Tac. There were no lights we associate with aviation. The only light was a white-yellowish glow coming from each triangle. The glow was contained to the middle in a slight oval shape. Some of the light spilled over to reveal straight edges of the triangle. Each of the triangles had the same color and light amount.

I was outside of my brother's house and seen what I thought was the Moon but it looked kind of strange awful close and kind of moving around so I went and got my brother and told him to come out and look at it he came out and then went back in and got his video recorder and we proceeded to record this object but it kept moving around within the camera and we could barely keep it in focus and then all the sudden stuff started coming out of it like exploded and I don't know I can't really explain it and then it went back together kept filming for a while then went back in the house and was looking at it to the sound to see if maybe I don't even know and all of a sudden we heard this horrendous voice sounded so evil it just said no and it was just like this long no sound really deep and I made my brother turn the video off because it scared me we're hoping that somebody could look at it but we didn't know what to do so we still just have the video

Many large lights seen going up into the sky slowly, different speeds and generally the same direction but not completely. 3 different waves. Went up until we couldn’t see them any more. Above the high clouds. 3 of us took videos.

Kalame, WA
My daughter and I were driving home on the highway . We had the river to our left and hills and homes to our right , right ahead of us was a huge plant for either paper or logging I assume ( in north west United States ) there were a hand full of cars infront , behind & aside of us as we were driving at highway speed (60mph) when a huge ( as wide as a 3 lane highway) black craft blocked out the night sky . It had a bright green glow on the left of the craft covering about a quarter of it on the bottom going up . Every car on the highway tapped on theyer brakes . I think we went from 60 mph to 30 mph quickly ) not abruptly but gently . I think everyone was stunned and didn’t understand what it was . My daughter and I were in mid conversation and my daughter being 11 at the time talked a lot so for her and I were silent for about 30 sec told me I didn’t even need to ask after it shot off in the blink of an eye . I think we stay silent for about 10 mins after ! . Just trying to process what we just seen . After 10 mins had passed and we were getting off the highway I called the non emergency line to report it . I wasn’t sure what to say so I was quick and blunt . I think I ended the message with “ just thought you guys would like to know, bye “ the next day I had my daughter draw a picture of what she seen . While it was obviously more dramatic , ultimately it had the same features I had seen (round, black & had a green tint to the bottom curve ) which told me I wasn’t crazy .

I was waiting for my ride home when I happen to look up in the dark night sky. I saw 3 white dot lights heading east in a arrow formation traveling very quickly. All 3 lights then scrambled in all different directions. I was able to film the last few seconds on my phone. Definitely something I’ve never seen before.

perfect circle, bright white... brighter than all other aircraft / stars in the early night (just got dark outside) sky. other planes were in the air... this was much much brighter, and had absolutely no blinking lights on it. it flew in a straight line from west to east. as it disappeared from our view behind treeline, i noticed 1 fast moving jet flying toward its direction from my north/nw (maybe from seattle) the object flew straight...at same speed probably abiut 100 mph+)

Ephrata, WA
I am a 77 year old male.. I was walking with my 40 year old son and 35year old granddaughter at 18:50 hours when I saw what looked like two small black clouds that were shaped like a widened W. The sky was clear accept for a few white clouds. wind was blowing from the west. I said to the kids look those two clouds look like space ships. Then the lower cloud turned around and headed southwest into the wind. About thirty seconds later it looked like it vaporized and disappeared. About a minute later the second cloud did the same thing. ((13 digit number deleted))

At around 1:45 me and my friend left work to go to his house and grab some things. after about 22 minutes we arrived at the park and were parking to go smoke and chill as usual. We got out the car and started walking to the benches by the Tennis court. My friend turned and faced me looking around the SW direction. I was already facing North West moving my head looking around because we just arrived. Then without expecting it a light I was seeing and made no second thought about moved out of sight behind trees to my right in 2.5 seconds. When I first saw it moving I thought it was a shooting star but I soon realized it was below cloud cover, going straight, and had no tail made up of light. There was no sound. The light was a white orb shaped object. The exact direction I was looking toward in the moment was 311 degrees North West. From my vantage point the object started from a little to the left from where i was looking, but I remember seeing the light in a! stand still (I had no thoughts at the time about the light) I told my friend about it but he visibly didn't seem to believe me. I am no expert on speeds or elevations or any of the sort but the object at least to me looked like it was going past the sound barrier at 1500 feet (The fastest I've seen anything move). The orb was white and from where I was looking looked to be around 1/4 the size of the moon if you were looking at the moon from earth. I checked for 30 minutes after the sighting and nothing re-appeared. One thing to note is I have been experiencing strange coincidences lately that don't really make sense and should have never happened.

Triangular dark shape caught my eye. It was flying very low and fairly slow in an Easterly direction. Only saw it for a second or two before it disappeared over the trees. It was completely silent.

Taking my wife to work at 5am after dropping her off noticed a strange set of lights near Mount Si. Decided to investigate. Followed the lights up a road we called county line, it’s a dirt road goes very very deep into the woods all the way to Idaho iv been told.. The lights appeared to be in a triangle shape but would move and change position and altitude at times. Couldn’t see the shape of the actual craft just that the lights were in a triangle shape maybe 40ft apart each. At one moment one light went off and it was just two. It was changing altitude rapidly and made no sound at all. I followed it maybe 30 minutes up county line before I lost sight of it. Took a video but it just looks like all the other ufo videos of lights in the sky.

The light kept traveling northeast at incredible speed, it moved straight at first, it then moved in a zig-zag pattern and disappeared from view. I went into the house and told my wife and kids I think I just saw a UFO or the strangest shooting star I have ever seen in my entire life. I then proceeded back outside and looked into the sky. I saw a jet with the blinking lights flying at a high rate of of going towards where I just saw the strange light head. Kind of struck me odd that maybe it wasn't coincident that the jet was heading the same way, that maybe the saw light I saw was seen on radar and a jet was scrambled to check it out. Thank you for reading my report.

Unusual bright "star" which I viewed out my window while seated on the couch. Caught my attention because it was unusually bright, being near the horizon. I looked at it out the window for several minutes, then went out onto my front stoop, where it very slowly moved out of sight. It did not appear to be over my neighborhood, but rather, it seemed closer to SeaTac airport or perhaps over Fairwood/Kent. There was no noise. It appeared to pulsate. I see this exact same thing from my porch frequently. I live in Tacoma and it is always in the northern sky, almost like it is flashing prismatic light, and then suddenly diappears. We joke it is probably just another one of Elon Musk's experiments. The object definitely doesn't behave or move like anything we are familiar with.

I noticed three bright lights outside my bedroom window over the Snohomish Valley. I was looking east. After 15 minutes I went outside with my phone camera to try to video the lights. At that point there were only two lights. I watched as one blinked out, and then a few minutes later the second blinked out. There was a full moon to the south and the sky was clear enough to see other stars. There was no noise. The lights did not move at all, simply hovering in the sky.

Two red orbs side by side we're hovering at what seemed like an altitude high enough for a plane. After approximately 30 to 45 seconds, it did a straight downward descent quite a distance, then faded away in a zig zag pattern.

Prosser, WA
I was driving to a convenience store in Prosser, Washington, taking the I-82 between Grandview and Prosser. It was overcast, raining and thundering. Noticing a bright white light on the side of Horse Heaven Hills, not really paying much attention but looking over at it from time to time. As I pulled into the Loves, I noticed it was now blinking white and red brightly, then dulling turning off and on. I got out of my car and moved out to the side of the building and watched it. I was looking South - South East, roughly bearing 175 Degrees. It was moving back and forth East to West. I watched it for a minute before going inside to get a few things. Coming back outside and still seeing it do its thing, I decided to try and get to where it was. Driving through town taking SW Bennett Ave. To Highway 22, I had lost sight of it and I could no longer see it due to maybe the top of the hill. Not having a place I felt comfortable pulling over I simply continued on home. We spoke via telephone with the witness, and he sounded to us to be both sincere, and sober-minded. PD
